The guy that wore that must have a bad back.Nice pile of Silver.

WTG Mitchel. Maybe they just removed the junk for you. Congratulations on a fine ring with ice.

HH

Mike

Wow, congratulations on a beautiful ring Clive. Thanks for the information on the sounds. I'm guessing elastic is the same as what we call a more rounded sound with the Excal in all metal. 

HH

Mike

That's an interesting ring combo. Congrats on the 18K. I dig a lot of shotgun shells. They sure sound good.

HH

Mike

Congratulations on the 18K and Silver. I have yet to find a ring on a chain. Keep those finds coming. I always enjoy seeing Gold and Silver no matter who finds it.

HH

Mike

Congratulations on a nice class ring. I think you're done brushing up on your skills.

There's a video on yt on how to replace the lcd screen on the pod...

I've seen partially the speaker side cause in the footage that part wasn't the interested area to film, but I think to open the curved door from the outside just to have a sight of what's under that piece...So my idea is basically to wire the negative, positive and ground desoldering it by the ruined speaker and apply a male M12 8pins on the cover to couple it with an external female on the headphones...

The transformation will appear like an Equinox headphone plug behind the control pod, to make an example...

I'm only supposing this mod in my mind, to skip the internal bridging of the two outputs...The rear end is the last part I want to open for now on my machine, Wich is turned again the most effective due to the crazy erosion I'm assisting... 

Skullgolddiver, thanks for posting that I just ordered an LCD for my CTX. You saved me bucks.

Another great hunt Joe. I keep my eyes open, but my mind is elsewhere. I remember that big wave that clobbered us the first year you got the ski.

HH

Mike.

Great job, you should be proud. I bet he is very happy with those results.

HH

Mike

Looks like you had a great time Mitchel. Nice pile of treasure and a meal too. Detecting to me is just like fishing, gotta catch the right tide for both.

HH

Mike

Congrats on the Silver and Gold. Nice save on the earrings. As others have said I really like that tester and can see buying one in the near future.

HH

Mike

Nice pig Joe. Thanks for the settings, I keep making a note of them. These tides have been crazy. My phone is acting up again, I got your text and 43 others 3:00am this morning.

HH

Mike

Nice 4 ring day. Congrats on the Silver and Gold with Ice. Good Luck on your next hunt.

HH

Mike.

Oh no poachers. You still came home with Gold.

It’s not water intrusion into the connector, it’s the capacitance added by the presence of the salt water on the exterior of the connector - the PI causes a hell of a spike when the current is cut off in microseconds. 

Rick,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the coil connector in a metal housing that is  shielded? If this is true as soon as the exposed shield makes contact with saltwater that will change the capacitance since it's conductive.

From what I gathered from this and previous posts, if the connector is getting splashed, in and out of the water with waves. The AQ will sense that and respond. If the connector is either totally submerged or out of the water it behaves normal, Then isolating the shield from the saltwater with  sealant might help.

Mike

I wonder if this would work for the connector for the AQ. At least it wouldn't harm anything.

We used a moisture sealant on the connectors on the old Emergency Locator Transmitters in the Air Force. It worked very well and the ELT was located in the unpressurized dorsal just before the tail section exposed to adverse conditions. The sealant had very low adhesion which would easily peel off the connector and unit without any residue.

Mike

I would take a hunt like that any day. Nice job.

HH

Mike

Nice pile of loot Compass. Congratulations on the Silver and Gold. The more you use your detector you develop new skills that will boost your finds. Keep them coming.

HH

Mike

Nice hour hunt. Congrats on a nice 18K band. Looks like a shotshell primer in the trash.

HH

Mike

Congratulations on the Silver Mitchell. That's one deep hole.

HH

Mike

I have only found a few detecting, but I have about 10 from hunting. Two of the were too worn to get any info off them. Waterfowl numbers are down and they keep reducing the bag limits, it's hardly worth going anymore. I have a pic somewhere of a double banded mallard in a non hunting area. Those had the money bands.

Mike

Wow that's a lot of targets. They should be paying you for cleaning the beach. Congratulations on the Gold especially those chains.

HH

Mike

Nice chunky 18K chain Mitchell. I sure hope it tests good, but still a nice hunt and save.

HH

Mike

WTG Pirate nice one. I wouldn't want to swallow any of that water after these rains.  I need to get out, it's been too long. Come on fall.

Did you save any of those Ring Daddy top five spots. I had them somewhere, but can't find them.

HH

Mike``

At least you got out and gave it a go. That's a huge stone in that Bling Ring. All these rains the bacteria level keeps rising. I got an eye infection one year after getting water splashed in it. Good Luck on your next outing.
