[tlane38003]

My first time with my new used Excalibur I love it first time ever using one. Found my my first slq and I think a few more silvers as well try to clean them up later . I went in the water and my friend hunted the sand was a great day here's what my first 4 hours on the excal sniffed out thanks for looking

Keep it up.
That's one ate up silver. heh... but... its silver.

You seem IMO to be on a potentially good spot... trashy... but none the less possibly good.

Work it... dig it all... and good luck.

PS... keep the posts on the finds coming.

PSS... Welcome to Treasure net.

And buffalos ... yep you are on a good spot.

Have fun and keep us posted.

I have to agree...... just looking at those targets you posted.... lot of potential there, but you still seem to be concentrating on high tones. Not that silver and coins are a bad thing...... they sure buy equipment at the end of the year.

Yep thanks guys its a new spot and detector am digging everything that rings nice still learning love to the tones of the excal I like silver but love gold I figure it has got to be deep with the sinkers

I would say go deeper and give it a try, Congrads on the Silvers!!

I can't comment about the east coast but here out west I scoop everything that don't null, discrimination set at one. Low broken tones are gold jewelry sometimes. I don't want to go home thinking I should gave scooped that! Jmho.

Probably even deeper!

The longer you use the Excal and the more comfortable you get with the Excal and its tone range the deeper you'll be able to hunt. Run the threshold as low/quiet as you can set it and still hear it, run the volume (target return volume) as high as you can stand it, listen for those faint returns and checkout every little threshold break. These machines can hunt a lot deeper then most realize, many of the target returns simply being too faint to trigger easily recognized tones, quite often all you will get is a very faint return or a very quick/subtle interruption in the threshold that many mistake for a null, but isn't. If that threshold gets interrupted something caused it, especially if it repeats.

Well said.

Keep it up... work it ... every bit... no matter how long it takes.

"The world is yours" on that strip of coolness.

IT appears to be what some of us call "virgin ground"... which I will have you know... is RARE these days. heh

 

[tlane38003]

Sorry about the typos my wife was talking to me i think its a virgin spot the only problem is its a 45 min drive but worth it so far also in a pretty bad neighborhood don't think I would want to hunt there at nite land skarks

BTW... IMO... Gold awaits you there.

One other thing, if you didn't already know this, think of the threshold as representing it's own search field with two distinct target tones. When that threshold encounters irregularities in the ground it will respond with either a smooth mid tone or a low growling tone. When you get a threshold break that responds with that smooth mid tone “always check out the source of this interruption” by removing one or two scoops of sand and rechecking the target. Removing this sand allows you to get your coil closer to the source of the interruption, (it also reduces the amount of mineralization between your coil and the source), which will often result in the receiving of a recognizable target tone. A lot of deeper gold has been found this way.
