    Whites Tdi sl query

    Yeah, the GB can change the response for various targets. The GB can change the tone response from hi to low, depending on where it is set. Jim

    Whites Tdi sl query

    Depth is determined by the current being delivered to the coil, in a PI. GB always looses some sensitivity, and they're is no discrimination of iron with the TDI series. The '17 model has the 2nd Reg Sniff "increased sensitvity mod done at the factory. Should be a good unit. Jim

    Glow orange under uv light

    Probably calcite, though it can have many different colors depending on the chemicals within. Orange is a very common color in fluorescents. I was just down around Winnemucca, Nevada, and the ground was covered with orange fluorescents. Nice finds in any case. Jim

    Just isn't right

    Pretty piece, Dancer. Hard to imagine somebody going to all the trouble to make it, and using valueless material. Jim

    City of Rocks National Preserve

    There's another set of rocks nearby that's an Idaho State Park. It's called "Castle Rocks State Park". It's 2 or 3 miles north of the Silent City of Rocks. Jim

    City of Rocks National Preserve

    Closest city of any real size is Burley, Idaho. There's a really small town near the east entrance....Almo, Idaho. Oakley is not far to the northwest, though I don;t think there's a motel. Malta, Idaho is to the northeast, and I think they have a motel. Jim.

    More from City of Rocks

    Back in the 1970's, a metal detectorist found buried saddlebags, at the base of Treasure Rock. They contained 12,000 in gold coins, as I understand the story. The stage robbery loot from a robbery near McCammon, Idaho. Jim

    City of Rocks National Preserve

    It's a great spot. I've been walking it and hunting it for decades. I spent a lot of time there, even before it was known for rock climbing, and even before it was a National Reserve. Back in the 70's few people even went there. Used to be quite a few lions there, and many coyotes and bobcats. Jim

    Reg Sniff detectors for sale

    May not look like much, but means a lot!

    I found one nearly identical to that last spring. It was at an old, unknown military camp site along the Goodale's Cutoff of the Oregon trail. Mine was in much better shape, probably because of the arid climate. I eventually got it cleaned up, and even made a key for it, so it's now a working...

    White's Service

    Whites re-opened the Oregon repair center. Holly told me they would stay open for 3 or 4 weeks. They sent me a new coil, under warranty, for the falsing 6 x 10 that came with my GM24K. At my request, they also returned the bad coil, so I could try and repair it to use as a backup. Same old solid...

    Wagon wheel spindle?

    it looks more recent....like maybe around the early 1900's. Maybe steam? Or early gas engines...like a "hit and miss". Jim

    Wagon wheel spindle?

    Maybe it's a saw spindle? lots of old sawmills in your and my areas. Jim

    Wagon wheel spindle?

    The wagon spindles I've found were longer....a good 6 or 7 inches. The wagon wheel hubs had to be longer to acommodate the thickness of the spokes. Jim

    Whites tdi depth while prospecting for gold

    My part of Idaho (southeastern) is a nugget void....LOL lots of flour in the Snake, but no nuggets. That's why I travel to Nevada, and Wyoming. Even Wyoming is tough, though it does have nuggets. I'm a member too, though I wouldn't join again. I'm not really a "group" guy. All that rah, rah...

    HF vs LF on depth of high conductive target question.

    ALL metals respond better to hi-freq's. The reason the makers don't use it for all their detectors is the ground mineralization problem. Jim

    HF vs LF on depth of high conductive target question.

    The problem is high freq's don't penetrate against the ground mineralization very well. The reason they're used for gold is because tiny pieces of gold give almost no response to lower freq's. And most gold is pretty small. Another problem is how we talk about all this. We call some targets...

    Gold Bug 1 Frequency ?

    NO! I think it was 19khz. It definitely was NOT 71khz. Two very different machines. Jim
