Is it possible to go back to the first ten years of Treasurenet and see our post

stevemc · Oct 28, 2011

I joined here when treasurenet first started and had to rejoin 11 or so years ago, all was new and different, couldnt get on with out rejoining, kept same screen name and password, and all that prior was lost it seems. Is it possible to find those old posts? Can I go back and find them? Mods?

I don't believe there is any way to search the old forum other than using a search engine such as Google. I come across some of those old posts all the time.

I'll double check with Marc tho. :icon_thumright:

Yes, I have come across those old posts when doing a search, but never through here.

DigginThePast · Oct 28, 2011

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there is no www I can point you to but I put the question where Marc is sure to see it.

Thanks!

Hmm, well, the data is still there somewhere - but not available through our server anymore. (had to save bandwidth!) You might try the WayBack Machine - they are pretty good at archiving things....

This is a interesting post for excalibur lovers, seems Minelabs had the same issue then as they do now...

Strong Debate! Excalibur vs. CZ-20 What's your fave and why?
March 04, 2000 at 17:31:57

I was on the brink of buying the Fisher CZ-20 when I read that the Minelab Excalibur has much better iron discrimination. Of course, the most popular downside to the Excal was the quality and service issue. I have a few questions for users of both.

#1. Does the Excalibur have the same technology as the new Explorer?

#2. If you are hunting an area underwater(fresh) that is loaded with rusty objects, which would you rather have?

#3. I was told by a distributer(user) of both brands that the Minelab has the better detection capability. Is there any truth to that?

#4. Will my Excal break down like everyone elses has?

#5. Which is more likely to mask gold while masking iron?
