    Depth modification of detector circuit boards.

    Interesting what I can read, but myself just run a slight threshold and those deep coins or trash with a null lets me know there is something it is seeing. On the good target it may give a slight tone and by working this signal with the Sovereign wiggle I can hear the tone changing getting...

    Sov XS shows the light of day to a 101 yr old Merc!

    The Sovereigns are a true turn on and go detector, not a lot of controls to mess with. I use the same setting 90% of the time and adjust my sensitivity rarely as I just swing slower and listen closer as I run a slight threshold. Since I learned the Sovereign I have tried other detectors and...

    Depth modification of detector circuit boards.

    I think that amp pictured is not A Minelab product as it dont have the Minelab name on it. There was guy that built some amps for the Sovereign and I did a test on one and seem to make the Signal a little louder, but I found the depth a little less or the same. I found that listening closely...

    Sov XS shows the light of day to a 101 yr old Merc!

    George, I figured you would be back using the Sovereign and sure enough you are again. its hard to use anything once you know how well the Sovereign can get the good signals other detectors walk over, nice to try others, but I too always come back to my Sovereigns as well as it works. Too bad...

    Seated and Others / Old Pin & Jewelry

    Doing good AGAIN!! Dave, just shows what a little research and knowing the detector you are using can do. To think I remember back in the 70s and 80s many said there were no place left to detect as everything was cleaned out. Good to see you are able to get out and do so well...

    Picked up another Beep and Dig

    I got my Legend a few years ago and it is the 1.05 I believe and dug it out on Saturday to charge the batteries . the few test I was doing is in my floor in my bar as it has nails and iron in the floor and only few detector can get a signal when I put a coin on top on top of a nail I find in...

    Manuals

    Richard, I am interested in a manual on the deeptech Vista to read what it can do and what the setting are for. I am a diehard Minelab Sovereign and the Troy X 5 as they are simple and easy to use and think the Vista might be too. I tried using your address you posted so I did a click and copy...

    Ring ID

    I have seen a few like this in the finds I have found over the years. Mine dont seem to have a cross on them and many had the initials on them. being they are adjustable they would be one size fits all. My best one has Dizzy Dean the ball player that was in a box of Grape Nuts cereal from back...

    How is the DeepTech Vista compare

    Yes we do go way back as I been these forums since 1996 as I like them with all the people I talk to. I like the info everyone has revealed about the Visa X and getting more interested in getting one. I think Richard at Back woods is a dealer for us in the USA if I remember right and have to...

    F75 vs T2

    In my opinion the T2 when I had it I thought it was more of a relic detector while the F75 to me was the beter coin hunting detector. I found smaller targets with the T2 seem to ring up more and dug more trash like smaller canslaw that fooled me while the F75 seem to ring more good targets and...

    Picked up another Beep and Dig

    myself I tried the rechargeables a few years ago and didnt care for them. This was on my Tesoros, my uniprobe and other detector and don't remember trying them on my X 5. On my Tesoros I notice they wouldn't fit back in the detector and those reg size didn't last long on a hunt. On my UniProbe i...

    Picked up another Beep and Dig

    The X5 was thought out good by Troy and we waited several month longer as he wasnt happy with some of the things that could cause a problem later on and replaced them before releasing the X5. The first 200 X5 were a little sparky for some, so they change them a bit so not so sensitive and the...

    Picked up another Beep and Dig

    Yes I have a X5 also I picked up a few years ago that has the 7 & 9 inch coil with it, I had one before as I was a dealer for them and sold it and missed it dearly as I did well with it. In a area 2 different Minelab had went over well and said they had gotten everything. It was a corral area...

    First time out with the Apex

    When I run into this case where it sounds good and loud sounding I lift my coil up to around 8-10 inch and it dont make a difference it is either big iron or something big and walk away. I also have switch to all metal and get a idea of how big it really is. II am mostly a coin and jewelry...

    Ring return....

    Yes it is a great feeling like no others finding some of these lost ring and other jewelry, the expression they have is worth any reward.

    Coin tumbling question…

    There is some good ideas on here, many have their favorite was and I may try some of them. First separate the copper and the clad as they should not be tumble together or you will get red coins. Now my way is depending on the tumbler and how much you have to do, add the coins in the tumbler so...

    How is the DeepTech Vista compare

    To our Sovereigns many of us use. Because of my bad hearing the Sovereign being basically a Turn on a go detector has done very good for me in coin and relic and dont have to mess with different setting to adjust or misadjust so there is more time to actually hunt. The Sovereigns are heavy...

    Manticore Depth Test Result - Not too impressed

    I wish you luck as it sounds like you are a beach hunter. I have a friend on the treasure coast in Florida that spends his time down there in the winter, then back in Minn in the spring to do lnd detecting and water hunting in the spring and summer . He keep talking about those storms and how he...

    Minelab Explorer XS

    I believe if you want both the ferrous and conductivity you have to switch to the smart screen as it is more of a graph and not digital numbers. Myself why I didnt care for it was because the tones were too high and so fast sounding compared to my Sovereign I was using. I am very hard of hearing...

    Xterra wired phones

    If you have a Xterra pro does it take 1/4 inch plug you shouldn't need a adapter if it is like the reg Xterra series, if the headphone you are trying have 1/8 jack then you will need a adapter to go to 1/4 to fit in the jack. now if it uses the 1/4 you shouldn't need a adapter, but now some...
