I'm a diver so got myself a Minelab Excalibur, when my Fisher 1280X flooded and died. I use the Excalibur on land and in the water, also have and Ace 250 for the wife to use while I swim.

Been at it for a year now.  Don't get out detecting as much as Id like to.  Went to a beach at a small local lake yesterday.  Found 61 cents.  Fun to get out.  Its unusual to be able to get out detecting here this time of the year.  Mildest winter I can ever remember and Im in my 60's.

My first White's Coinmaster 1DB, Second White's Goldmaster 66T and my current machine is a Fisher CZ 5 with a Sunray pinpointer.  I still have them all.  I haven't found any really good finds but lots of clads and costume jewelry, with a couple of wedding rings found for friends after they lost them.

Fisher M-Scope 1266XB. The simplest and one of the most easiest and accurate ones that I have ever used. I really like to dig for Civil War relics ere in SE Virginia. Getting harder & harder to find places to hunt with permission.

I guess Im getting old.  Forgot this forum was on here.  Thought I found something new and there was my post from a year ago.   Metal detecting is a great hobby.  I have been out about 40 times since my last post.  Did pretty good on clad coins and a few trinkets.  Got a new detector recently. Got a Minelab x-terra 705.  I think Im going to like it.  I won't say anything bad about my old Bounty Hunter tho...   Its been good to me, too.
