    Thanks for liking / viewing my page!

    My name is Clive James Clynick and I’ve been detecting since 1980.  In that time I’ve had the opportunity to hunt treasure and trade notes with some top pros–both in Canada and the Caribbean.  The result has been some 18 book titles on understanding shorelines, and getting results with specific machines–among them: the Minelab  CTX 3030, (my site also has a library of programs for this machine), the Minelab  Excalibur, the Minelab Sovereign, the White’s Dual Field and several others.  I also have books on finding gold with pulse machines, hunting specifically for gold jewelry, and three with pro-level tips, tricks and methods for shallow water detecting success.  Hope you are all planning and getting ready for an exciting and successful treasure hunting season.  Good Luck Detecting!

  • Minelab Excalibur Training Day

    Minelab Excalibur Training Day

    These guys are top notch pros and once they had the Minelab Excalibur basics down proceeded to recover gun parts from the nearby lake that allowed a murder case to proceed.   FYI, in police dive team slang a body in the water is called a “package.”  I like to think the picture resembles where you have the plainclothes Inspector briefing the squad before a raid…deep in thought…lives will be lost today…image001

    11750777_10153516136554612_1201197725_oRoland moved South from Montreal 12 years ago and is now one of the top pros in the world.  His detectors of choice are  the Minelab CTX 3030 and Excalibur.  His finds include (as shown) an $18,500 solitare (2nd from right) a $15000 Chanel piece (at left) a 90 gram 18k Russian chain (top left) and a Choppard chain 2nd from top left. This is just from the last couple of years. Roland has taught me ton of things about shorelines, sand grades, tides and equipment handling. He’s my “coach”.

  • Minelab Sovereign and Excalibur Waterproof Connector Kit

    Minelab Sovereign and Excalibur Waterproof Connector Kit

    Full Kit

     

    Interchangable coils for the Minelab Sovereign / Minelab Excalibur.  I’ve heard a lot of good things from top hunters about how stable the “blue tubes” Excaliburs are–especially for use with big coils. John at Minelab did a great job refurbishing this one for me that now has w/p connectors (Bulgin Mini Bucanneer)  to run all three coils (Coiltek WOT, M/L 800 and 1000) and an Ikalite jack to take interchangeable phones (“Mr. Goldmasters,” “Redheads” and “Grey Ghosts”). The coils will also go on the Minelab Sovereign X2–another very stable machine that will have the Sunray DT3 meter–a great edge set-up. I think it’s important to be versatile and not only is the WOT coil great for coverage but the 800 is very good on chains and other small stuff. Where I need extreme depth I go to the White’s Dual Field, Goldquest Aquasearch or Anchor Electronics Baraccuda.  (Single click to bring up the picture).  If anyone is interested in the order sheet and detailed instructions on how to install and safely run this connector shoot me a note.

  • Minelab Excalibur 11 Modification

    excal modI’ve gotten good results with Coiltek WOT coil in different applications and wanted to have one available for the Minelab Excalibur but not have to use it all the time as they can be hard to swing in fast water. I also really like Mr. Goldmaster’s headphones which connect via an Ikalite plug. This is the end result–interchangeable phones and coils. A lot of top hunters swear by the 1000 (Blue Tubes)–saying that it’s more stable. I have one at Minelab being fixed that will also get W/P connectors to be part of this kit along with my Sovereign X2 Pro.
