    Diamonds I have found

    Very nice. I have sold my gold & silver through the years to ARS which sends back the stones. I do have a good collection of stones, but no idea what to do with them. Someday I may have a custom ring made and use some of them. Never have figured out what the stones are in the upper left of the...

    xp deus 2 13" coil battery life?

    It was easy to install the new battery. I charged it up and have hunted 4-5 times and it still shows a full charge. I think I'm good to go.

    Old picnic grove finds

    I have information about an old picnic grove used every year from the late 1800s to the 1920s except for the location. I have a rough idea but not good enough to ask permission yet.

    xp deus 2 13" coil battery life?

    I'm in the process of replacing the battery on my 9". The Deus is getting about to that age where a well-used one will start seeing a faster depletion of the battery. My X35 is still in pretty good shape because I don't use it much. Now if USPS could just get mine to me. I ordered it 9 days ago...

    Music lovers thread - Post current listening interests. favorites, share share share

    I've played the guitar since I was 8 years old. Played my first gig as a band in 1969, and my last in 1989. With the band SWITCH we recorded an album in 1987. We were the first band in Kansas to master digitally. I love my old CCR, but I clicked more with the 80s metal. The peak of guitar talent...

    Looking for a video of replacing the 9" HF coil battery on the Deus

    Thanks but the 9" HF coil is different than the stock coils. The battery is in the shaft.

    Looking for a video of replacing the 9" HF coil battery on the Deus

    I'm replacing the battery on my Deus with the 9" round HF coil and would like to find a good how-to video. I have seen some showing buying a new 9" coil and installing the battery, but I won't have the kit just the battery I believe. I need a video showing how best to replace the current battery...

    Legend V1.14 Beta

    I got the impression there are two changes. 1. DTi. Deep target ID. This "feature" is said, by Nokta, to give more VDI info deeper. 2. "Beast mode" which sounds to me like a tweak in the ground balance to give a bit more depth, at the cost of stability. I took this as doing the same as if you...

    Manticore Depth Test Result - Not too impressed

    Not to change the subject, but I do like how everything seems to be shifting from depth tp target ID. I think we have all pretty much accepted that the depth of current VLF technology has reached maximum. Now it is separation and target ID that take center stage. I like it. Saves me a lot of...

    Manticore Depth Test Result - Not too impressed

    Each detector manufacturer is going to make a claim of better this, and better that. In the end, we always find out they pretty much all share the same limited technology, just used in different ways, for the most part. These differences can make a difference depending on the conditions. You get...

    Manticore

    Manufacturers have reduced the number of target ID segments over the last few years. The days of telling a clad dime from a silver one are all but over. I guess not enough users felt that target ID was much of a thing a few years ago. I used it a lot and it is even more important to me now than...

    Have to start digging those zinc pennies?

    No beaches here in southwest Kansas, but I treat my tot lots like I would a beach. I recover it all. My requirements are a bit higher in parks & playgrounds. Apparently, my luck runs pretty well for a dirt fisher. Generally, I'll find at least a piece of jewelry every other hunt. If I go 4 hunts...

    Have to start digging those zinc pennies?

    One of the positive points of getting old and developing physical limitations is that you start being a bit more selective about your recoveries. Some 20 years ago if there was a tone, I dug a hole. Now I spend more time analyzing each target. What I have learned is, despite what a lot of...

    Why are the Whites TRX Pinpointers in such demand???

    I didn't know they were in demand. I had one and didn't care for it at all. Went back to my Carrott.
