    Coin tumbling question…

    I found out early! I was horrified at all the pink clad.

    Coin tumbling question…

    I took some crusted copper pennies and put them in straight white vinegar with salt overnight. This removed the crust and patina both and left an ugly finish but there was no color other than dull copper. This should be highly not recommended for nice or rare coins as any patina is destroyed...

    Legend Trouble Shooting

    Did you try holding the power/settings button for 30 seconds like the manual suggests when SE appears on the screen? It is on page 28.

    GTI 2500 Closet Queen - I need a value on it

    It looks like $1049 new at Bass Pro, Amazon, Cabellas, and a few other places. A sight called Big Bargain Cave says they have some for $83.84. I would say somewhere between these two figures, lol.

    I have a Minelab vanquish 540 and new to this great hobby. Please could people tell me the best settings to find coins. Thanks

    Basically, turn it on and listen. If it is too noisy, turn it down. There are, in my opinion, no best settings for everyone, they are all good for someone or another. I would suggest that since Minelab thinks their coin program is best for coins, that would be the one to start with.

    Wishful thinking or insider info?

    What a bargain! You can't buy three of their coils new for that price.

    F75

    I have the F75+. It has DST, FA mode, iron volume in 2 tone, boost and CL processes. The manual says F75+ Special Edition. If you buy a new one, the SE and + are the same except the marking on the arm rest. If you buy used, it is not that simple.

    Found this old horseshoe, never seen before, with the attached lower cross brace at bottom of shoe. Any thoughts?

    Mining for lead

    Bullet in the middle picture on the bottom left looks like a cleaner. All the bullets have a patina, just not a white one. I don't have civil war sites here but I have found a military 50-70 cartridge, that was adopted by the US government from 1866 to 1873 until replaced by the 45-70, that...

    What happened to the Vista X Faceplate & Knobs?

    Other than the black, they are all ugly and mismatched in my eyes. I'm sure glad mine are like the first pic.

    Battery Pack or the Legend

    I never said that, that was just one way I have used it. They put the bracket underneath to carry it. I just usually don't. Charging the Legend takes 3 or 4 hours according to the manual. The battery capacities are there too. You have read the manual, right? You can use the extra battery...

    Battery Pack or the Legend

    I see no need to carry the extra weight the whole time. I treat mine like extra AA and 9Vs I carry with my other detectors. You can also hook it up at any time to bring the charge back up, including driving to another spot although you can do that with the cord. The truth is I have never...

    Found Batman!

    I found his hot wheels car a while ago. Must have been one heck of a wreck.

    SunRay Pro Gold volume limiter

    Only you can decide! With the switch it is like two different pairs. Try them both. I have multiple detectors and they work well on almost all of them.
