    Shape of mono coil field ??

    I keep hearing/reading that the shape of the transmit field is "cone shaped" but I am finding it is more like a "U" shape with the bottom of the U flattened somewhat......the "U" as you are seeing it right here as a letter is my idea of the transmit pattern. My buried test target at 16" can be...

    Coil extension cable??? Reg if possible

    Reg, I am wanting to extend the rather short cable on my mono coil with a 1m extension. The extension cable is a third party one, typical from prospecting shops. Are there any potential problems or performance issues to consider in doing this? Thanks, Tony.

    GP3500 with 14" Anti-Interference coil (Steve)

    Steve, That Coiltek 14" Mono that you used with your GP3500...was it a straight mono or anti-interference coil? I'm planning on doing quite a bit of beach work and was thinking that EMI might be a problem. Because I need a rock solid threshold to hear the deep stuff, would an Ai coil be a...

    GPX5000 timings/settings in Western Australia

    Steve, If possible, could you briefly summarise some typical settings/settings that you set on the GPX5000 for the goldfields in Western Australia? I am assuming you were working some tough ground, although not all of it is severe I know. Thanks very much, Tony.

    MXT Pro Question

    I've only had my MXT Pro for a short time but stumbled upon something strange when mucking around with the modes. When switching from Relic to Coin and Jewelery, my big gold wedding ring is completely discriminated in Coin and Jewelery mode until I hit the "Music notes" or GRAB button ?? The...

    Finally pulled the trigger on the MXT PRO !!

    ....and about time too...:drool: I have been "umming" and "ahhing" for a while now and finally came to the conclusion that I really won't do better for a coin, relic and ring machine from White's or any other manufacturer for that matter. It will be setup with the trusty 5.3 Eclipse coil as I...

    Attn Steve (Minelab 3500 and beach settings)

    Hello Steve, I hope you don't mind me posting this question here. The reason is I recall you once using the GP3500 and hunting the beaches. My question is do you feel the 14" Mono style of coil is optimum (deepest seeking) in searching for coin/ring sized objects on mineral free beaches? I...

    Tiger Shark and bottlecaps :confused:

    Apologies if this has been covered before but I couldn't find a definitive answer. What is the Tiger Shark's ability to knock out small iron junk, including bottlecaps in freshwater? Thanks for any help, Tony. PS.......Is the DISC similar to the Bandido II

    Comments regarding "Waterproof" to 10 feet

    Based on a 3m/10foot rating, I don't think this detector is really designed for serious submersion but more for the rainy conditions or the odd dunk in the water. It would be a brave/foolish person to use it regularly in the surf ?? I can't see it replacing the Excalibur even as a shallow...

    Propointer (problem)

    My new Propointer will often keep slowly chirping after I have removed the metal target from it. This was in some air tests that I was doing. I could only reset the unit by switching off and on. Is there a problem with my unit. It functions really well but his problem comes and goes but an...

    Fix your floating coil problem forever

    I have been reading about the floating coil problems for some of the White's UW detectors. This can be solved by using a rubber discus as a weight. They come in different sizes and weights and are perfectly streamlined (designed to fly through the air) for in water use. Holes or slots can be...

    Garrett 9" x 14" mono coil...advice please

    Can anyone advise me how this large coil handles in CALM water. I have tried the WOT coil and found the resistance too much as I water hunt for 8 hours at a time. I guess the WOT coil has 3 leading edges so the water has to overcome this. The Garrett 9 x 14 would appear to be more streamlined...

    Why big coils and I are going our separate ways

    What a difference 5" makes !! I have been a Sovereign user for many years now and have now tried 3 large coils on my GT. Big coils are severely hampered by EMI. So far, the SEF, WOT have failed in the EMI area. This is on beaches many miles apart and on many different times. I am unable to...

    Excalibur blue headphones wiring

    I'm trying to solder up a pair of Excalibur blue headphones to a regular stereo 1/4" jack. There are 2 main wires and 2 smaller wires. I'm assuming that the 2 main wires go to the 2 main tabs on the stereo jack (L and R channels). I'm also assuming that one of the two smaller wires is a...

    Tiger Shark ground balance range

    Can anyone (Tiger Shark users) offer me some advice on how effective the ground balance range is on the TS. I live in Western Australia and want to hunt freshwater lakes BUT the lake floors are highly mineralised with iron based clay? My concern was that the TS may not be able to balance out...
