    Beach Sensitivity knob on my Elite.

    The highest Pointon the white section is where the most stability is for sensitivity on the wet sand.......as you turn it anticlockwise the white area gets thinner showing more interference is likely as you set a higher sensitivity.This is an inficator more for beginners I believe as most who...

    MINELAB Manticore Unmasking And Recovery Performance

    What's the manti like compared to the gt........have you compared depth etc.

    Sovereign modification

    I'm looking into doing that myself.........there are some nice fully waterproof camera bags out there that you can waist/belt/ shoulder mount so I will problem go with one of those.

    Sovereign modification

    I've had a bit of success with the auto sensitivity to be fair (on really bad sites)but mainly i try to run as high a sensitivity as i can.I never managed to get a meter for mine,they are as rare as hens teeth it seems.Had the inline probe on my quattro but to be honest i dont use one now as i...

    Sovereign modification

    Hi Rick,yes I have seen a difference but not 3 inches as was stated in the original post.I hunt the beaches almost exclusively now and generally use a small thin ladies gold wedding band to test the depth of my detectors on the wet sand.I got about an inch and a half extra depth in all honesty...

    I'm Back!

    Good luck with your choice as there are so many new machines about and they all perform at about the same level in reality and will all get you the same number of finds if you learn them well........I'm sticking with my Sovereign gt until I see a machine comes out that will genuinely increase my...

    Msr are in the uk bud and are an officially authorised minelab service center.Just put MSR metal detector repairs into google and it will come up with details of how you can contact them.

    Civil war ammunition

    Not in this country bud,they were packed in wooden or cloth cases and lead of all sizes (and shapes)was used.

    Civil war ammunition

    Also consider case charges where many balls were packed into a wooden or cloth case and rammed down the barrel of a larger field gun such as a cannon.........that would spread shot all over the place much of it landing in the earth without hitting anything.

    Civil war ammunition

    Perhaps they were crap shots Gaz.I too live in the UK and have found hundreds of pistol and musket balls,many of which show no signs of hitting anything either and some very distorted after clearly hitting their target.I don't think pistols and muskets were massively accurate back in those days...

    Sovereign modification

    Hi Wandwaver, Sorry this is a bit late but i had the mod done by msr,i sent my machine in to have the threshold pot replaced and it came back with the report and a footnote saying that he had done the depth mod for me too.It hasn't made any difference to the tones or threshold or had any other...

    Can you update the X-Terra Pro

    I was interested in this machine as a cheap back up for my local beaches until I saw a video of some geezer failing to hit a small gold ring 2 inches under mild soil...........what was he doing wrong?? Looks like a great machine considering how light it is,the fact that it's waterproof and does...

    Best gold beach detector?

    Unfortunately I sold my Sovereign with the joey to fund a different detector ages ago........big mistake........and since I bought a GT again I've been looking for a Joey for a long while to no avail.......missed out on one by a cats whisker not too long ago but nobody wants to flog them.Didn't...

    Field testing

    🤣🤣🤣🤣I don't need to convince myself,I already know by conducting many tests in actual ground conditions.It was only intended as light hearted banter,but dont feel to foolish if you have spent thousands on a detector that doesn't do much better than a set of dowsing rods.😁😁

    Field testing

    Same results I expect........they find loads of stuff,mine did.

    Field testing

    I have posted this as some may find it interesting and it raises a few points.I have always and will always maintain that nailboard tests and anything done in air are an absolute waste of time and that tests on real targets are the only way to judge a detectors performance.What you can see from...

    Where are all the CTX users?

    The CTX will still keep up with the newest machines in overall finds rates,like a lot of the older machines will.......here in the UK there are plenty of used nox's on the market and even manticores are making an appearance on the used market.🤣

    Best gold beach detector?

    In fact Odans,it's one of the only coils I've ever used that's lived up to the manufacturers hype and given me something that minelabs own coils couldn't...........basically because Minelab didn't make a coil this size and shape.I think most aftermarket coils are just a load of hype to be honest...
