I have to agree Craig, the Excalibur rules in the water. But it's not stock either so that is part of the secret.

I'm just stating my opinion Earl... I haven't hunted in at a beach since September Earl... can't do it with my menieres..
What I was trying to say is its more than a detector to find gold on a consistent basis...

That bay must be loaded, if you're pulling 100+ a year. Wicked fun hobby you've got, OBN.
Btw, thanks again for the silver rings that were gunked up, that you sent to let me practice on with Electrolisis. I was astonished at how long some pieces took (and how stinky the kitchen got, LOL). Some of them barely had any metal left on the inside of all that black. It was a great lesson in chemistry.
Cheers!

Thank You! What really made the difference was time, I retired. I may not hunt 8 hours a day and 5 days a week but now I can choice the best days to hunt. Makes all the difference in the world.
So true, I spend a lot of time just getting to know the spots I hunt, and kind of keeping a log in my head on the changes over the last 5 years.
Thanks Usa!
OMG, I know that nasty smell, now I just crunch the silvers cookie off. I've got good at knowing which to do it to also, some like you said are less then paper thin..That bay must be loaded, if you're pulling 100+ a year. Wicked fun hobby you've got, OBN.

Many think the bay is loaded but I've yet to see anyone finding any quantity gold other then me. Most here have no clue on how to hunt the older beach's, but they sure can out hunt me on those fresh drop beach's. I love taking other hunters out and watching them, I have learned don't tell them you found gold till after the hunt. I did that a few times and next thing you know they were circling me. The closest hunter to me in gold this year that hunts the bay was my hunting partner, Mr Scott 20 gold for the year..

That doesn't surprise me. We can become very specialized in how we hunt. I've only ever met one other hunter who had the same level of gold finding that I do on land. There is an interesting, and fundamental difference, in my opinion, between those who are out to find money, and incidentally find gold, and those who are out to find gold, but are happy to pick up money along the way. The signals you skip/check are very different, due to what your targeted target is. Just an opinion, of course, but it seems to explain why I can go to a park and not find a single quarter, very few dimes, but pull out two gold rings, and a gob of pennies.
OBN, there is a ton to learn from you. I love your specialized equipment, too. It's clear you know what you're doing. Results speak.
Cheers!
