    G2 vs ATP?

    I have an ATP but really like what I hear about the G2. At 15 kHz the ATP is sold as All Terrain. At 19 kHz and from reports, I suppose the G2 could do most of the same... except the waterproof part. For any who own or have tried both machines, how do they compare in the field performance...

    GTP 1350 Question

    I may decide to purchase a GTP 1350 on the used market, That way I can try one out at a reduced expense. My question is, does the manufacture year matter? Have there been any software upgrades? In such case I would simply buy new. On the other hand, perhaps older machines are better... or...

    ATP In Saltwater?

    I'm expecting my ATP back from Garrett any day now. Garrett did several modifications- was told a new coil, new board and rod. I was somewhat impressed with the ATP before I sent it in for the mods. Now I hope the upgrades still perform as good as before? I really want to try the ATP in...

    Infinium HOT on Gold! Coil Question...

    This forum recommended that I use the 8 inch mono coil for gold jewelry in the sea- thanks! That's exactly what I did on my last Caribbean treasure hunt and as the picture shows, the Infinium loves gold! Plus surprisingly, I did not dig too much junk as with all the other PIs I've tried. I...

    Iron Mask Question...

    Does anybody know if the iron mask of a BBS detector contributes to poor black sand performance? In other words will iron mask cause a BBS detector to null over black sand? In that case, on BBS mashines where one can turn off Iron Mask, would there be an improvement detecting in black sand...

    AT PRO Concerns...

    I recently acquired a like new, non-modified AT Pro and have a couple of concerns. This detector seems to work very well in my test garden- I'm actually impressed! But in sunlight there is a "rainbow smear" of colors on the inside of the display faceplate. Is this normal? It's not that bad...

    3X7 or 5X10???

    OK, for a semi-black sand beach with trash, old french iron coins and gold jewelry in the mix. Which coil, 3X7 or 5X10 DD would weed out the gold better in shallow saltwater? Many here seem to like the 5X10, but would the 3X7 DD be better for finding gold rings in this soup? Or is there too...

    Best Infinium Coil for Salt and Black Sand

    I just got my Infinium. I bought it thinking the Infinium would do better at black sand beaches than my Excaliburs. The deal I got was a new Infinium with 14 DD, 8 mono and water phones. I will also order the 14 mono. For shallow water hunting in the salt I suspect the 14 DD will not be as...

    BBS Coil Wiring?

    Hi, can anybody tell me the color of wiring sequence on plug pin numbers for a factory Sovereign/BBS coil? In other words I would like to know, on the coil side what color wires go to pin #1, 2, 3 and 4 of the plug? Thanks, SH34.

    Would the Infinium win?

    People tend to praise the machine they like and use. Even if it is not the deepest. Plus no matter how deep your machine is, one still has to put the coil over the target! But still, I want to know? For average saltwater beach/shallow water hunting conditions, which goes deeper on a medium...

    Choice of Excalibur/Sovereign Rod material?

    I believe BBS detectors are susceptible to radio/interference? Often while shallow water detecting I noticed interference when a jet-ski or outboard motor went by. Close and far away. Since good finds increase when my detector runs more stable, I've thought about ways to accomplish that...

    More Sovereign Coil Opinions wanted

    For shallow saltwater and beach hunting, SEF 12X10 or Sunray S-12? The Sunray has good reviews, but so does the SEF. I'm leaning towards 12X10 SEF because several say improved stability and locks onto targets better than 10 inch Tornado? (I'll be swinging in the water so a WOT might be too...

    Treasure Screamer AMP/Excalibur Findings

    This is what I found bench testing a Treasure Screamer AMP on both an Excalibur 1000 and Excalibur II 800 in AM mode, using a medium size 18 K gold ring and Koss headphones. The AMP really does make target responses jump out and louder. Close targets very loud! But with that said the AMP did...

    Explorer XS in the SALT?

    As a shallow water hunter who uses Excaliburs, I have often wondered if an FBS machine might provide an advantage in the salt? So I recently purchased my first Explorer, a used XS. It has been nicely modified and sits on an S rod with the battery tucked into a small waterproof box mounted...
