A Week At The Beach (lots Of Photos)
CalReg replied to F350Platinum's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Looks and sounds like a great trip...congrats! -
Very cool find!

Great find! Congrats!

Welcome back...best of luck to you with your return to metal detecting, but most of all, with your health!

Up here in NorCal, I don't see many Manticore's or Deus 2's for that matter. More of the traditional Equinox 800 guys. I will say, having read quite a bit about both machines, either would suit my needs! $1200 is still a LOT of money!

Who Uses A Pinpointer On The Beach?
CalReg replied to Bill (S. CA)'s topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
My right foot is my pinpointer😆 -
I hear the 900's are better under water than their predecessor the 800. Hitting up the local club would be a great idea to get their take. Minelab makes awesome detectors!

I had to replace them for my coils as well. I emailed Ditmar and he gave me the part numbers. Purchased them off of a parts supply store. I have a whole bunch. If you want some, I can send some to you. PM me with your address...

Sounds like you had productive couple of days! I agree, the Tarsacci is one heck of a detector on the beach!

Jewelry Detecting.... Disappointing Results
CalReg replied to moondog69's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
I had no idea they were that strict in MD on treasure hunting. Oh well, maybe that's why I haven't seen many people MD'ing! -
Sorry about the fall...get well soon, and welcome back!

Jewelry Detecting.... Disappointing Results
CalReg replied to moondog69's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
My wife is originally from Beltsville. We have good friends in Silver Spring and Gaithersburg...most have moved away though...good luck! -
I was going to spring for the larger coil, but life sidetracked me and I shelved the idea. Haven't heard of many people going ga-ga over the larger coil, so I don't think I missed much...yeah, I got two batteries with my MD.

I have neither seen nor heard of any Tarsacci updates. To be honest, I quit looking for them as they became scarce a few years after they were released. With that said, I decided to hunt a beach recently, and I will tell you, it is still the quietest (single or multi-frequency) detector I have ever used. Black sand does NOTHING to this thing! It is deep too! While I didn't find anything of significance. I found a handful of items that were at least a foot deep! Hunting in all metal gives me the best results, but I'm getting to an age where I just don't want to dig everything, so I switch to discrimination mode. I might lose some depth, but the hunt is more enjoyable...good luck on your search!

Equinox 900 Versus Manticore
CalReg replied to D&P-OR's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
I'm interested in hearing what everyone has to say as well. I've watched a few YouTube videos on this subject and I really like the Manticore 2D screen...other than that, there seem to be more similarities than differences. -
Jewelry Detecting.... Disappointing Results
CalReg replied to moondog69's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Nice hunt. My wife is originally from Maryland (PG County). I know there are some Civil War sites around there. Would love to hit those. Have you ever thought about hitting the beaches around Rehoboth, Dewey or Ocean City? I bet those places would produce a lot of gold and silver! Happy hunting! -
Amazing! What I wouldn't give to have a day like yours! Congrats!
-
I'm currently looking for one as well. Check out the T-Rex scoops on Big Boys Hobbies website. Less expensive than Xtreme, and I've been told they are excellent scoops. Not sure if they're any lighter. I also have one of the cheaper aluminum ones, but it's already cracking around the edges (not too durable). It's meant primarily for the dry sand, but it is lighter. Good luck!

Amazing hunt(s)! Congrats!
