    How many Texans? In DFW?

    I know there are a few..I've seen enough posts about Texas to wonder who my competition is..er..uh, I mean FRIENDS are! LOL! :detecting: I'm in the DFW area, how many from here as well? The rest of Texas?

    'Nuther $1.75 plus a 1929 Wheat

    Well, if I just used the money I found to pay for the next detector..it's gonna be awhile! LOL! However, I had a good 2 hour hunt! I got up early this morning to return some equipment by 7:30. Had I know the hours had changed to being closed on Sundays I'd have been out at the new honey-hole by...

    Why do some people's posts not seem to appear?

    I was just reading the thread about the GTI2500 and the White machine. Good reading but it seemed like at one point John was responding to posts that I can't see? John, I know you're a Canuck and all..but I'm thinking the whole 'talking to yourself' thing is something you probably do most when...

    Best hunt so far with the Scorpion! Still talkin' to me...

    Went out last night after dark to hit some tot lots. I had worked all day and was really worn out but as I've mentioned before, I have a DRIVE to find something valuable.. I hit 6 tot lots if you can count the ones that are seperated by a sidewalk. Otherwise 2 huge ones and 2 small ones. Here's...

    Things I'm learning about the Scorpion and tot-lots

    I've been hitting any nearby tot lots lately with my limited free time. For some reason I have an obsession to find a gold ring..can't imagine why that would be! LOL! Anyway, I'm still learning this detector but have discovered a few things along the way.. I CAN get near the poles and stairs...

    Would a dedicated 2 box be better than the MH or GTI option?

    I have a chance to pick up a top of the line OTHER brand detector (that I always wanted) for a great deal. If I do that, it takes away the money I would use for either a Master Hunter with regular coil and two box, or the GTI 2500 and me throwing in more for the two box.. So brand wars aside...

    :shrug:Help me decide whether to snatch this deal up...

    I've found a Tejon in the price range that I can afford! It's missing it's lower shaft and coil, but it doesn't look horribly expensive to replace those parts. Anyway, that part of the equation isn't what concerns me! I'm a noob really and my only experience with detectors is with a Silver uMax...

    House detecting help.. PP or cut down a detector?

    I was thinking of buying a detector for the purpose of cutting it down and using to shake down the door jambs, windowsills, etc. in old houses. Now I'm wondering though-will the Garrett pinpointer work instead? Seems like it probably has the sensitivity to find that bag o'coins hiding just...

    Scorpion keeps talkin' to me

    Yesterday I went to the dentist for what I thought was going to be a short appointment. Naturally there's always a little more metal just laying around that they need to stuff into my teeth! Turns out with my job stress as of late I must be grinding my teeth and have worn some holes in some...

    My Scorpion has P.I.!!!!

    Posted this on another forum: LOL..no not pulse induction... POISON FREAKIN' IVY! I was out detecting a farmhouse last weekend that was grown over by the woods. I was wading through the PI but being careful (yeah, right). Normally I don't have any reaction to poison ivy(not necessarily for...

    Holy GuacaMOLE!!

    LOL.. I gotta dig up more than that in today's economy... However, this one just made the top of the list for 'someday'!

    Another Scorpion question

    I saw the post on de-tuning the pointer and it got me to thinking... I've noticed at volleyball courts that I can't get closer than a couple to possibly as much as 3ft near the uprights (metal) or the concrete edges (rebar) with my Scorpion! I've monkeyed with the sensitivity a bit and it...

    Holy GuacaMOLE!!

    Just saw some vids on youtube of the Vision... I LOVE that display/menu system! Reminds me of my GPS and some touchscreen point of sale systems I've had some experience with. Probably more complicated than this noob thinks but DANG! Looks like I better get out there and start digging up my new...

    Any Scorpion mods?

    I'd like to do the following mods to my Scorpion: Armrest to a Tesoro type armrest-the Garrett one is bulky and I don't care for it much Waterproofing-I know this is done on many detectors but haven't much of a clue how! Convert headphone jack from mono to stereo Any ideas/tips are...

    My sucky Scorpion sure does find a lot of stuff!

    Sucky if you listen to what so many seem to say about it anyway! This is not my favorite detector to use but I just can't argue with how it finds stuff! The only really noteworthy stuff so far is two wheats, over a dollar in clad, an old transit token and some cool bullet casings. Mind you, I...

    Cibola with ground balance mod?

    I've seen this posted a couple times but am wondering-why not just buy the Vaquero? What am I missing?

    Question on Scorpion-problem?

    I just picked up a Scorpion for a good deal! I'm learning the machine but have noticed that the threshold tone is not a totally smooth tone, but rather has some little blips and such as I'm operating the detector. It really seems like low level noise. This happens whether I'm actually swinging...

    X-50 or Scorpion for a do-it-all?

    I know the 50 doesn't have a prospecting program..but.. I'm looking at both a Scorpion and a 50 right now with the intent of picking up a mult-purpose detector that I COULD use to search for gold. I know the Scorpion is made FOR gold, but will work in a general role as well. What I don't know is...

    Help-Vaquero vs. Gold Stinger

    I'm looking for a detector that will be good for all around use. I already hunt for coins and shake down old houses with my Silver uMax but would like to upgrade. I found a good deal on a Stinger but have really been eyeballin' the Vaquero! Seems like these two are quite similar? Features are...
