    How many hours would you guess this coil has been used.

    this Coil looks like it had some hard use in some rough areas, many deep scratches . To me it looks like there is no coil cover on first pic and on the second picture look like a cover on it, could be just the way the picture is . Myself I would say the person that had this coil dragged the...

    Have a few question on the deeptech Vista

    There must be different models of the Vista as the 2 toggle switches click into forward and backwards and stay there , they are a 2 pole switch and like you mention it could be they do the same thing and depends on which hand you swing with as to which one you use...

    Have a few question on the deeptech Vista

    from what I can tell this is not the pro one and is the Vista X. it does have 2 toggle switches on the downside of the control box, but the coil is not oxcegon like the picture shows it is more oval looking. The toggle switches are only 2 position and not 3, so there is no center position. I...

    What has been your # 1 detector in years passed

    I notice many of those listed are also some of my favorite too.. At this time my Sovereigns is the ones I do the best with in most cases, the Shadow X 5 I have with 2 coils is used a lot more than the Sovereigns at this time because of the weight and can swing the coil faster and cover more...

    overload signals on teknetics detectors

    I have always in area where there is a lot of larger target like beer cans that give off a louder signal that sounds good is once I get the signal I lift the coil up several inches or a foot and if the signal dont change it is a larger target and move on. If the signal get weaker I dig. Doing...

    MXT E-Series

    I too like the MXT in fact I fell in love with it, but this is my wife detector so I had to give it back. After using my Minelabs the MXT was a real fun detector to use as it was so simple and easy to use, we used the relic setting for coin hunting as it had been recommended by others. The wife...

    I found … Mount Rushmore!

    I do believe it is the back to a pocket watch as they were not the fancy one that had the hinge on the back. Most were just plain with some a little fancy and they snapped on the back of the watch. One of the ones I have got is real fancy looking. Rick

    Last few hunts up to 11-10-24

    Nice combination of different find which shows that you dig a lot of different signals which is great as you have a better chance to find some interesting finds many pass over before. I like all the different finds you have found and being able to ID them so you have been doing this for a while...

    Hey GARRETT!!! Where's the Mighty Vortex??????

    I have one on pre order and they say about the ending around Nov around Thanksgiving they should be in, but not sure how many are ahead of me. I know I should wait and see how they work out first, but the only way to see what it is all about is getting one to see if it will work for me or my...

    My most interesting find to date

    That tag is a ID tag that were sold at the bus station, that is where I seen them. back in the 60s the bus station had a machine for 10 cents you could print on out, 2 levers on it and a dial that showed the different letters or numbers and when you got the one you wanted you pulled the one...

    What is the best beep and dig machine(s) you have ever owned or still owned?

    Deep and dig detectors will find more in the long run as too many depend on the meters and such. One of the best for me is the Shadow X5 I still have and another one I found that seem good for me is the Tejon Tesoro I had tried. A great one some will say is a hard one to use, but once you learn...

    Sovereign and "nulling"

    Lot of good info here as it seems these people understand their Sovereign well. The Sovereign is a slow working detector unlike most of them and it areas it nulls a lot you do have to go slow and listen to those tone and work those small tones. If going too fast you will go right over and good...

    Question to refresh my mind about some older coils.

    I know the Joey coil is not waterproof , but water resistant and have heard of some way of making them waterproof by making sure where the cable goes into the coil is well sealed. I had a concentric coil I wouldn't use as I tried 2 on my Sovereign and it was not impressive, but this was back a...

    Safari and Quattro Differences

    I got one of the first Quarto and had a lot of problems with it as it may have been a bad detector so after talking to Minelab it was sent back the new also run the same way, so feel maybe there was a software glitch. what was happening if you got a slight signal whether false it seem to...
