    My GT, before and after

    Nice job. My 8 year old one is showing some age but she still likes to scream in my ears "Dig That" and most of the time she is correct. Of course i forgive her when it is an aluminum screw cap.

    Pinpointer ?

    I use a scoop. Scoop up the target. Shake the sand out and you have the target in hand. Much quicker than trying to find a target with a pin pointer. On the dry sand any of the small long handled scoops. I used a 5 inch scoop for a while until I decided to detect in the water.

    Hey Guys---I'm a newbie with a White's Coinmaster 6000/D. Just need some info !

    The coil wire on most machines is long enough to wind around the shaft many times. Some folks like to mount the box on their belt and they need the extra length. Takes the weight of the machine off their arm as they only have the coil and shaft to contend with.

    Sunray Invader FX-1 Probe

    Rick I talked to Garrett repair a few months back. I was quoted $27.50 for the repair. Plus the cost of any parts. If I remember correctly that included return shipping. Garrett Customer service can not be beat. Have you tried putting a quarter between the battery and the cap. Some times...

    Does the Simplex (or any detector really) have a setting that keeps track of usage hours?

    But that little clock that ran when you turned the machine on would add 300-500 dollars to the cost of a detector.

    School yards are promising

    Poem--A MEMORIAL TO MORALITY

    Had a pastor who was considering retirement. He said I am looking forward to going to heaven. But I have no desire to rush the lord as much as one second. The day before he passed away our pastor went to visit him. He told the pastor that he had made it all the way to the gates of heaven...

    If you live near a salt water beach make sure that the detector is designed to handle the mineralization that is in the sand.

    When you make your decision please get on the phone and talk to a couple dealers. We have some very good dealers who sponsor this forum. IO will admit that I am biased towards Richard at Backwoods Detectors. If Richard tells you something you can take to the bank. I have not only done...

    Mint no longer accepting “found” coins?

    Contrary to popular belief Banks are Not required to accept any currency or coins. The mint for a long time would not take corroded zinc pennies. You have to ship damaged coins to them. If its zinc pennies it is not worth the hassle. Some Federal Reserve Banks May take damaged money. But not...

    Equinox and nickels....

    I found a war nickel that rang up as silver on my Sovereign GT. It rang up a little lower once I got it out of the dirt. There was nothing else in the area. Was shocked when the nickel came out of the dirt. I then took a bunch of old war nickels that I had put away back in the 60's and every...
