    Deeptech Vista Smart Plus ??

    I picked this detector up used from a dealer and I dont think this wont work for me as I am mainly a coin hunter and need a threshold for me to detect and wonder if this is made for more relic hunting than coin hunting. If someone has one and use it for coin hunting I would like to hear what...

    Quattro Question

    Man did I make a mistake as I looked at a Quattro I have here and forgot the Explorer series has a different shaft that use round washers that are made for the Quattro that are made just for the Explorer series. These round washers snap into the shaft and usually fit tight, dont know if plain...

    Could use some help here

    Nice find, like the look of it. It is of someone that had some money from the looks of it and my first impression looks like it has on one edge a stopper of some sort, is there rubber or something on what looks like a plug. If it is that my impression is a stopper for a bottle of some some...

    Sovereign battery pack swollen?

    Ted if it has a drop in pack for the XS2 or XS2a I believe you need the AA packs and the bar that connect the 2 packs that make contact with the 2 springs on the battery housing also and the cover holds it tight. Now the XS and the original Sovereign is connected by a wire and the ones I like...

    Sovereign battery pack swollen?

    I think the battery pack for the Sovereign is bad if it is swelled up, but I myself woulnt leave it in the Sovereign when not in use as it may start leaking. I have a extra Sovereign XS2 for a spare or maybe see if I can do some mod to make it lighter. The person I got it has a different...

    Quattro Question

    The Washers on the Quattro is the tear drop rubber washers that many of the Minelabs use. Most good Minelab dealer should have them in stock or the auction site. These wear out with moving the coil so they are probably wore out and wont hold tight. now if you are using the factory bolt with new...

    Fail to Pinpoint On End Coins

    I think that any coin at a angle will read off center and will not pinpoint correctly, so since I used the Sovereign plus any of the Minelabs I use the tip of the coil to go around my target to see if it reads in the same spot in disc then go to pinpoint all metal and double check and see if...

    Garrett Metal Detectors Love Coins And Jewelry!

    Lookin good with your VX9 you have, I also have one and going to get out soon with it as our ground is still froze. I can see it is going to be different but what I have seen it maybe not that hard to learn, but like any detector can fool you. One thing I wonder about as I want to update it and...

    Official Red Book of US Coin Values

    My opinion is that this was a reg half that someone may have carried it in their pockets long time as a good luck piece as it is wore out. as you see it is thinner on the edges and there is a lot of scratches on it as it is wore out and you can check the weight and see what the weight is and see...

    Needing a new Shovel

    Looks like a great shovel and would do the trick for many of us that do farm fields. The only thing is using these in parks and lawns as some say the shovels do a great job digging plugs and able to make it look good. I know many use these in parks and such and seen some videos that look great...

    Question

    If I read this right when you use the X1 probe after you locate the signal with the Explorer then go to pinpoint and use the X1 probe it is not too stable if the detector is set on manual, but in semi auto it sounds OK. The reason for this is in manual it sees more including interference if...

    Just Curious.

    Del I seem to always have a positive attitude when talking detecting and a lot of detecting, but when working I am like many and have a negative attitude as I want to be out detecting or at least talking about it. Rick

    New Vortex vx 9

    Good to hear there is a field test, maybe not too much, but most are new to this detector and many of us have some snow and frozen ground around. I been doing a feel air test and coins on the floor of my bar when I get some time and do see it does well on ID with the nails and other metal under...
