okara gold

Aside from Joe OBN... It has been really quiet about results with the few AQ's that are in use.

There was a guy in Miami hunting the dry sand with a few kids following him around. He happened to dig a gold ring upon which they started yelling... "He found gold, he found gold". People came running over to see it. He handed it to someone who asked to see it, who handed it to another and another, and within a few seconds HIS found ring was gone. Finder beware!

I got to the beach at 06:30 and the swells were intermittent but impressive. I hunted the wet sand switching between Beach 1 and 2. Didn't notice any differences in sensitivity settings. As I love to hunt the water I saw numerous openings in the swells that looked calm. So in I went... Bad decision... I could walk and swing ok with the numerous swells lifting me up 3 feet in the air and gently placing me down again. But when it was time to dig a target I could not stay on it too long as I was abruptly placed several feet away from it. This scenario lasted about 20 minutes and I finally threw in the towel. So... I cannot honestly say as to whether the update enabled me to squeak out another digit of sensitivity or not as everything was in motion. Next time...

I just installed the update. My realm of detecting is in the salt water and wet salt sand when the waves get the best of me. My hope is that one of the "various stability enhancements" might enable me to hunt with a little more sensitivity in the salt water without all the chattiness, hence a little more stability. I'll find out tomorrow and will let you know what I think.

Beautiful piece of gold. Congratulations!

Wow! The condition is superb. Congratulations!

Joe... I don't think you're getting old but are aging like a fine wine. Congrats on the 4 gold hunt, but more so on your accomplished battery improvement.

Nice going! A 3 ring hunt including gold is always a good day. Looks like the silver has been there for awhile.

Sad news indeed.

That was a good story! Thanks for the link.

I'm really impressed at how creative you can be. I need help changing the batteries in my Ray-O-Vac flashlight. 😄

That's a nice looking setup Joe, to have your AQ battery improved, completed and ready to go. 👏 Looking forward to run times.

Nice find Joe! I have now learned to be sitting down in a chair before looking at your finds. This way I don't fall down on the floor in a state of shock...I just slump back in the chair! 😄

Maybe FT is now in the process of outfitting future releases with the improved power cable.

Nice easy to search menu you came up with Steve!

I'm amazed at what you can do! 👏

A few things... A big congratulations on the gold coin. It's a beauty! About that oak tree.. I'd stay away from any chainsaws for awhile until your thumb heals up. 😁

Too bad that happened. Hopefully you’ll be in the swing again shortly.

Joe... from what I’ve seen of your modification skills, I’ll bet you could take the wheel off a bicycle and make a coil out of that!!!😃

Well it's good to know that with these headphones I won't be wanting something louder. Too many hunters are always buying different sets just to get some extra decibels. I fall into that category! LOL Bob K

So many different scenarios. Looking forward to trying them out! Thanks for the updates.

That is a good thing to stand behind their word. Glad it worked out for you.

Nice looking scoop with a hard to beat price. I especially like the small holes right on the tip so if the target falls through the larger holes you can just pick it up without a lot of extra material.

That's for sure and if the beach has been renourished with 5 feet of new sand ALL the old finds are buried.

Nice specimen! Congratulations!
