Fresh Drop Hunting..3 Gold Rings
Skullgolddiver replied to Joe Beechnut OBN's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
Ooooh that sound ❤️🔥 -
And so the Little story behind these finds Is short... Weeks ago,In a rare First drop off erosion event I observed for almost a week in an old place, I Just checked doing snorkeling in swimming underwear to find ...😳 Obviously since that day, my monkey does't want to leave my shoulders 🤬

Hi folks, I've been a couple times diving in two different spots the last week and cause of a ton of new sand, working at a deeper area, less pounded by the most of the army. As usual, my camera was out of service in the moment of glory and there's no footage as I left It once and discharged another time😤... Aniway, two fishes for the week...Too bad...trust me😑 Both 18k bands

When Enough Is Enough For You?
Skullgolddiver replied to Skullgolddiver's topic in White's Metal Detectors
Solved with hand's soap 🧐. The gasket, which Is an empty core O-ring, tends to "grow" when out of the housing. The corners are the only place on the lower part to keep It firm. Sliding a Little without screws before to Push, solved the mistery😤- 3 replies

After the good new I realized when tested a few days ago my machine after It drowned and I've succesfully reanimated It.... Now the horrible gasket Is fighting to stay out of the housing against any kind of attempt😒. So I'm in the middle of a headache manutention session with scarce results. That's the Mood guys😑

Empty Folder And No Footage This Time, But...
Skullgolddiver replied to Skullgolddiver's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Unluckily, for the Age, lot of things were neglected. Today a totally new way to train people in diving schools can save lot of stupid accidents. On the other hand, especially here in Europe, the most frequently habit I see It Is brand new divers adventuring without any sort of certification or experience, maybe thanks to a so called Expert friend. Solo diving for hunting, It Is even more Dangerous if You consider the Total lonelyness around You in case of troubles. I never go over the NDL curve safety limit and never alone over 6Mt. Down. Staying in the really shallows Also, give You the Total tank's air use and the max bottom time to hunt. And I'm even today skeptical on the surface supplied air System, which Is not the commercial type but something like a Nemo or Brownie's equipment. It Is not only a fact of reliability, but a physical damage when breathing compressed air the Major things to take note.😑- 9 replies

Skullgolddiver replied to Skullgolddiver's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Really true. Even if You are well trained, sometimes even the air source can be the cause of an accident. Co2 as an example, can hurt silently at few meters down and the compressed air concetration Is like to be a suicide man breathing with a dozen of trucks making smoke in a room.- 9 replies

Empty Folder And No Footage This Time, But...
Skullgolddiver replied to Skullgolddiver's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
You're right!!! Unluckily I don't turn on the camera until I'm not on an interesting area to work.So having It on my head, It happened to don't hear the sound of It when tried to start the footage. Water was a bit rough on the surface and was strongly pulling away the signal buoy.As an example, today I have a useless three hours footage with sinkers a a couple coins.Same spot, precise area...Nothing good. Talking about the Dogodog's fear, trust me, hunting underwater a lot of things can be scary. If someone Is not comfortable with himself in trouble situations, can be a nightmare for apparently stupid reasons. Antious breathing, more air consumption, less bottom time to hunt effectively, no dive Buddy allowed for Us and a way long list of factor to keep trace of. A couple times I've seen the death's face, literally. For the same reason One of my tattoo Is a Mermaid with a coffer behind Her. In 2014 I've been pulled out of water with a Rope thanks to two guys on the beach late in the evening after sunset. No fins, no bcd, signal buoy on the shore and me, with the scuba tank on a slim harness and way too much ballast weight for the purpose... I was Just testing a coil swap on my old Excalibur finished hours before, when a terribile current pushed me so far from the shore to don't be able to come back.- 9 replies

Finally, After the damn cycle, some sand moved away from one of my usual spots.. I had almost two hours available since dawn and on a pretty red clay seabed I found these two beauties. Enjoy. Skull

1899 Gold Ring, With Stealth Xcalibur
Skullgolddiver replied to Joe Beechnut OBN's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Lovely. Another shot by the master. A question for You Joe... What are You using as a handle? I'm getting Crazy with bike terminals without to have the right inclination for a good hand drive. 99%of the bike stuff Is straight and not angled like Your. Is that a specific shaft by some brand or not? Clean setup as usual for the control box. Porn to Say the right term😆 -

Coiltek Nox 10x5 - Watch Out!
Skullgolddiver replied to Chase Goldman's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry

Sorry for late reply, as I totally missed this question until now. I was trying the other day to check the board and some soldering works...Probably, and I Hope for my fault, the water leakage Is less relevant than I was suspecting.And Happy new Is that One of the coil's cables Is disconnected from the board, maybe for an hard hit when I was down. This can explain the flat treshold, the not working coil at the target passage over or under It and last but not least, the machine however working even with water inside 🤣🤣🤣... I Need some chemicals to get the job done and I Also want to install a Flying connector to make the coil swap easier...Once I'll close the box, I'll do It with liquid gum as gasket trapped inside the upper and lower side.. To NEVER be opened again...

New spot inspection last week and happened a lucky strike due to the super sanded in condition even with unusual beach appearance... Few seconds of a three hours session, otherwise useless dive between fresh foil at depth and heavier stuff way too far from shore...Ass hit for me this time...🤣🤣🤣 Enjoy! https://youtu.be/MRzcxk-AhVI

Sadly, there was no choice today but to hunt a really infested area, littered with aluminum and tons of new sand brought by the Harbor's arm shape and the last prevailed wind too... I was in a so and so Mood, between the idea to leave at the first trouble and go back home before the 9.am empty handed cause of bathers already there😑. I realized with all that horrible hump, to go way farther and to straightly use the tank, at least to avoid the fuc....g murky water on the shore...30 minutes later, after only three holes....hereunder the conclusion... RAW footage, Sorry

Makro Gold Racer Tiny Gold Chain Test
Skullgolddiver replied to Tahoegold's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
If You're in trouble with the audio response of your machine in AM, then try with Disc mode, but with the least effective setting against iron.I don't know properly your machine, but generally, I use zero discrimination with a dedicated tone for iron.This means to Hear It,don't dig It, but not making mute the machine over It too...You might want a clear signal if some iron Is accidentally near the good target, so eliminating the iron cut can help in some way...Hope this is clear in my way to explain It... -
If You are sure to stay in the shallows for snorkeling, then a Kruzer Will do the job with a little expence. On the other hand, when you're ready and comfortable for a scuba session, forget about those Land/water machines and trust old projects like an Excal or a Mark2. Trust me, cause I recently drowned a TDI BeachHunter in less than 3meters down. Even if I modified It, that machine Is Just a little more industrial experiment to close a TDI board in a so-called waterproof case. After ten dives, Is done.

Makro Gold Racer Tiny Gold Chain Test
Skullgolddiver replied to Tahoegold's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
From my point of view, I surely payed the excess of discrimination in the past. I hunted for years with a "supertuned" Ctx for a gold exclusive search, bored and tired many times, to discover finally that a well tuned all metal with a gentle treshold can do the job better in most of the sposts. Useless treshold on a machine like that, but extremely efficient on an Excalibur. My 2 cents are: forget about trash elimination by your machine and learn as much as You can to recognize environment's conditions. Go for the weight index, instead of type.Move towards the targets are more prone to be coin or sinker like weighted..Be Happy to dig trash cause this only means to better know the area and how far you're from Gold. The beach Is for me the most similar place to the hell. There's other few places on the earth where to begin crazy without a real cause.
