    I miss my old Vaquero

    I sold off my detectors a few years ago for a couple reasons. #1 - The detecting laws in Wisconsin suck. #2 - Not much time to detect because of work. #3 - Funds were / are tight being a single income of four (for almost 9 years). Of all the detectors that I used to own, I had the most fun...

    Compadre - Coil Size

    Hi there, I am going to be ordering a new Compadre for my daughter and I was told it comes with either a 5.75 or 8 inch coil and they are not interchangable. I'm pretty sure I am going for the 8" coil, but I was just wondering what most of you use with your Compadre and your...

    Alpha - decent beginners detector?

    Hi there. My daughter wants a metal detector, and I don't want to spend a lot of money on one right now. Is the Alpha a decent beginners detector and does it get decent depth for the buck? I couldn't find much information on it in this forum (I went back a dozen pages or so and gave up)...

    Delta Beer Plaque

    Hi there. I didn't find this metal detecting , but my wife's father (61 years old) has had this since he was a kid and it used to belong to his father before that. It seems to be made of some sort of resin or plastic with a metal stand on the backside for displaying purposes. It measures 10 1/2"...

His house was built in the late 1980's , but his neighbor who is a 82 year old farmer who grew up in the area said his yard used to be an old farm field and an old barn used to stand near his property line. My friend uses a...

    Trading in for an SE Pro

    My hunting buddy and I like to compare signals before we dig. He uses an SE Pro and I use a Teknetics Omega 8000. He has hit every coin signal that I have had him check , but there have been several instances now where I can't hit a coin signal that he has had me check. I tell him that I'm not...

    Ski Hill - Silver quarter

    I went to a ski hill by my house yesterday for about 2 hours and found over four dollars worth of clad - mostly quarters. Just before I was getting ready to leave I got a nice high sweet sounding signal , and out popped a well worn - no date - Standing Liberty Quarter. I pulled a Franklin Half...

    Omega sensitivity

    Does it pay to run with a sensitivity greater than 70?? What sensitivity do some of you omega users run at?? The above 70 sensitivity kinda confuses me from what I've read in the manual. I'm at work now ( 59 hours this week!! ) , but am hoping to get out with it later today. Thanks for any help...

    Are Omega and Delta Coils interchangeable??

    I just traded my F75-Ltd for an Omega ( 3 coil package ) and a Delta. Since I'm mainly going to be using the 11"DD on the Omega I was wondering if I could use the Omegas 10" eliptical coil on the Delta instead of the Deltas Round 8" concentric coil?? Thanks in advance for any input given. HH -...

    Omega 10" Concentic Coil question??

    I'm getting the Omega with the three coil package. It seems to me that most people who have the 11"DD coil use that coil almost exclusively - maybe the 5" in trashy areas being the exception. I was just wondering if there may be any situations where the 10" Concentric Coil may outperform or be...

    Not enough Troy users for a Troy forum??

    I am thinking about getting a Troy X2 detector , but there isn't a Troy forum to ask anyone about the detector. If any of you use a Troy X2 could you offer me some of your opinions on what you think of the detector - Like how it handles trash . ease of use , depth , ect... thanks ...

    Delta depth??

    I'm primarily a coinshooter and I have an F75-LTD , but I don't think that it fits my hunting style or the types of sites that I detect. I'm not knocking it in anyways - I just don't think that it's the right detector for me. I'm thinking about trading it in for an Omega and Delta. I know that...

    F75 -LTD users - opinions of this new detector.

    I have a T-2 which I really like and enjoy using. My only complaints about the T-2 are that there is no backlight and how noisy/chattery it is when I run it in the boost mode. I'm thinking of trading it in on a F75-LTD or possibly a T-2-LTD. I'm leaning towards the F75-LTD because I heard that...

    All in one hole

    I live on a side that road that loops off of a main highway. The road connects to the highway on both ends and is about a quarter mile long or so. I was detecting the shoulder of the road in the dark when I got off of work tonight between 11:30 P.M. and 1:00 A.M.. The T-2 was a little unstable...

    Old fishing holes produce a couple of keepers.

    My friend and I detected a couple of old fishing holes that I know of Sunday and Monday. We stayed on land because we didn't have any water detectors. I used my T-2 and he used his Explorer SE. At the first fishing area that we searched on Sunday I found an 1934 Mercury Dime and an 1888 Indian...

    I have an Omega on the way.

    I like to have two detectors and I recently sold my X-Terra 705 to a friend who really liked it. That left me with just my T-2 ( awesome detector by the way ) , so I bought a used CoinStrike and wasn't happy with it so I traded it in for a like new Omega ( used 4-5 hours ). I should be getting...
