The Sand Shark's Pulse Delay

[Terry Soloman]

I was trying to be impartial and non controversial in my explanation. Apparently I should have been blunter?

Yes, you kind of ignored the 12µs interval between your"unstable" 10µs delay and the 22µs minimum delay of the SandShark. A lot of gold goodies can be found in the 12 to 18µs or so delay interval that is forbidden to the SandShark.

I also should also have said that if the sampling doesn't start before the target signal has fully collapsed into the noise floor, no amount of fancy filtering or special amplifiers are going to bring the signal back. You need good filters and good, low noise amplifiers, but you need to have a pulse delay small enough to let you sample the signal while it's still there.

Hope this doesn't change your opinion of my original post.

Do you not even read what he writes?! He said you were not correct in your OP. How simply does he have to explains things, for you to actually understand them?

Seriously guy, just stop giving advice on metal detecting, you are so clueless.

You are waiting for your new Sand Shark,and your righting a beach hunting article at the same time. You posted elsewhere your first water gold ring find on 5-11-11 A month before you even found a gold ring.And now your going to teach water PI hunting? Like they say those who can't, teach. I am still learning to read the beach after all these years. I bow to your superior intelligence and Navy Seal beach reading training. You endlessly babble EVERYWHERE and anyone that takes two seconds out of their life to see who it is giving them advice will understand that they should not believe anything you type. You put on a good show,you would make a good Carnival Barker but as far as your credibility?

I correct myself.I was wrong when I said two seconds,it's more like two days to go through all the nonsense you spew online. You should just teach a class on how to shamelessly promote oneself with total disregard for factual information. You do excel at that.I'll give credit where it's due.

Ouch... if you weren't a member you should be now... if I am a member I will give you mine

Now HR Tom that hurts. I still do contract work with big oil and munitions at times, so I must be ok... at times...

As for the Sand Shark, I have used one for two full days. For the beaches in So. Cal I did not like it. I used it in waist deep water, 2 to 4 foot waves and a current running N to S. With the wave movement in and out, then add the current, it struggled. I am only talking about what the moving sea water was doing to it, not going into going downhill (deeper) when searching. I would put any of the three PI's that I own against it in non optimal conditions.

Only my two cents... One other thing, I almost exclusively use a PI, it's what I know. A "regular" detector I honestly don't know at all... I will be on the E coast next month bringing all my machines, find a rough stretch of beach and I will let you use any of them... Then you can compare...

Cheers,

Come to Connecticut... do you like hunting in mud and rocks?

 

[Sandcrab]

Mud and rocks???.... You should know better... Last time I hunted ( the incident) was all rocks. Been researching the E coast since I have had the time not detecting

I may take you up on that, only when you come to the West Coast you hunt with me where most out here don't.... Will even cook some fresh fish/shellfish for dinner... (Hmmm maybe some Lion Paws)

Cheers...

Are you delusional?

 

[Terry Soloman]

Yeah, I'm delusional..

Does anyone on this forum think I would not be banned already if I used the same words my attackers and two MODERATORS are using to label me?

Isn't character assisination a wonderful thing? You don't really have to be right, you just have to make your enemy look less right. Rudy did not say what I wrote was wrong, instead he harped on what happens between 12us and 18us saying a lot can be found using those settings - well duh!

All that EE mumbo-jumbo means nothing to the average metal detector on the beach. What matters is results. In my first year with the Sand Shark, I cashed in over $3,000.00 in melt value gold. The secret to my success? There isn't one. Had I used a Dual Field, I would have had the exact same result.

As much as the "old hands" want you to believe it is 90-percent skill - it isn't. It is 80-percent LOCATION, where you detect. These guys don't like me because I am shining a light on a bunch of blowhards that want you to believe you CAN'T do it, you CAN'T be successful without their knowledge or the machine they use.

Bottom line? They aren't finding any more with an Infinium or a Dual Field or a Seahunter, than I am with my Sand Shark. I know I hurt a lot of feelings, and I threaten their manhood and pride, but the bottom line is research a good location, and you can find as much with an Ace 250 as you can with a Minelab Sov. That is fact, not hype.

Will I be insulted and bashed even more after this post? Yes, because at least two moderators are cheering the Core Four on. Will it deter me in any way, cause me to lose sleep or trouble me? No. I know the vast majority of folks here are laughing with me - not at me.

That "EE Mumbo-jumbo", is telling you why there are items that your machine wont even hear, that the other machines can. The bottom line is, if you were smart enough to switch from that mediocre detector, you would have most likely found even more gold. BTW, the number started at $1,800, then jumped to $2,800, now it's over $3,000... make up your mind... or stop lying.

Tom,
Here is a good one on Terry's teachings and writings. A year ago he put out his article of "Detecting 101" telling all of the newbies what they needed for equipment, etc. to be a successful hunter. In his article he forgets to mention about carrying spare coil bolts. I pointed out to him his over-site and how important a spare coil bolt was.

On his very next hunt he drives 54 miles to his beloved Jones Beach without a spare coil bolt. Guss what? He steps in the water and breaks a coil bolt. Yep, just the kind of guy I want teaching me. I still laugh at that one on every one of Terry's post I read on how great he is.

I guess if you can't find gold with the machine you own, you open up up a T shirt web site to supplement your hobby expenses.

 

[Hotrod Tom]

What a martyr. Everyone is out to get me....You can see it here on my website Blahblahblah.com and while your there buy a shirt. You love and need the attention so save us the dribble. I will NEVER and I mean NEVER post on any of your posts ever again and probably any posts that mention you. I need to go back to the informative and entertaining posts and get away from the endless misinformation that you regurgitate time and time again.

First you say my post was "a great post", after you finally realized that it was not in full agreement with your bias towards the SandShark, it is now character assisination[sic] by two MODERATORS (Craig is the other I presume?). Gosh, you do thrive on drama.



PS: We are not MODERATORS.

I found 52 gold rings with my Whites PI my first year... what does that mean?

Now I know for a fact you don't have a clue what your taking about. I have both machines and have several hours on both. Are you really telling me my ace 250 will do as well as Sovereign? I don't care if I was on a never hunted beach, the 250 will find the surface trash and the GT will get down to the older, deeper targets, period. And that is the REAL fact!

Agreed. I don't even have to own a Sov GT to know that the machine has some serious capability. My Ace would ring up coins at like 5 inches. My AT Pro rings up items at about 9-11 inches.

When I went to a minelab event this week, one guy swinging a Sov GT with a large coil was giving me interference about 5 ft away I now understand why people love their Minelabs.

As to the nature of everybody's posts.....well all I can say is Terry your either reading in between the lines of everybody's posts...or just flatly ignoring them and feeding yourself with lies

You know something Terry, I just don't get it... I have used a Sand Shark, there is no way it can compare with the machines I have. I have not been detecting for months, I was way too shook up on what happened and had some family issues. I actually went out this last weekend, and knocked it dead... there were members on this forum that were hunting and did not find much. Same location, different machine.

I am not a blowhard, I am not pushing a book, a website, a certain type of machine, or God knows what. Truth be known, I have a problem with one member, because I feel that person has other motives in mind. If I am wrong so be it. I even made the mistake of posting that watch on one of my first couple posts. Should have waited, but it was a recent find. Unfortunately, it looked too good to be true.

So I will call you on your statement, you pick the place, and the time. I can afford to get anywhere. If you like you can pick the machine I use, the new DF, the relic Cuda, or the collectors item Aqua. There is no way you will pick up things I do. I do not care if it is still water or rocky. That is not hard. Hopefully you will chose something rough with current, something you are fighting the breakers for. I will put my money where my mouth is, choose any item from any of my posts. You do better than me, you can have it. If I win, you owe me nothing. The only thing, is the watch I gave away, 36 grams of 14K and 33 diamonds. It meant more to the person I gave it to.

You know what frosts me, is there is half a dozen people I would like to meet on this board. Not about knowing there spots, but to see how they approach it. Are they like me and watch the ocean for half an hour walking, looking for signs. A detector is a tool, nothing more, nothing less. Its the operator behind it for the most part, but when you are fileting a fish you want your knife as sharp as possible.

In fact come out to the West Coast, I will set you on a spot that always produced, always. It has black sand, current, and heavy waves. Even the Excalibur guys cant crack it. In fact, I will post what was found there on my first hunt back. First time out in months, and I was rusty.

You hold on to that machine so tightly, I just don't get it. I don't care what you find or did not find. I have seen members asking advice about a machine and then two weeks later giving advice advice on the same machine. They became an expert overnight??? You know I have only been irked a couple times on this board, one time a mod stepped in, which I have yet to give him my side. But I think I will now, he actually stepped in on my behalf, when I know the other party is a friend of his. He deserves an explanation, and after this I am going to send something to him that was written months ago. You saying the Mods are out to get you??? Are you freaking kidding???

So your sand shark is THE machine??? I will call you on it... Plain and simple. You know the bad part of it all, is I bet you are a really good guy. That is whats perplexing...
