    First Day with the Fisher Impulse AQ

    Yesterday I hunted Laguna (low tide day). First pass with the Manticore. I played with modes and settings but never got to something I was happy with. Oh it detected the targets but a lot of small stuff that had loud signatures. I was using the 11” coil. I had used the 8” earlier and liked it a...

    First Day with the Fisher Impulse AQ

    Multi frequency helps you find most targets in most areas and the salt filter helps you at the beach. But you may benefit from something more biased towards high frequency like 20 or 40 kHz. This will cut through black sand better as well as find more small gold and chains. Unfortunately Minelab...

    Beach hunting shoes

    I have been using Mares triboot 6.5 and the heels are failing. I looked at new ones and they are normally $124 - I don’t remember paying that much. I see them called triboot as well as trilastic - are these the same thing? Anything else a better choice?

    Is it worth fixing (Excal II)?

    Buy a multimeter from harbor freight to check your battery and charger voltage output. Or just buy a new battery and try it. The machine is not likely to fail by just sitting in a closet. I’d buy an rc charger like the bc6 for $30 on ebay as it will tell you how mu current is going into the...

    Be careful using discrimination with Manticore on the beach!

    I think it’s the black sand in the red….. Gold mode also works. i did some testing same results but I didn’t disable discrim - will try next time thanks!

    Can I still find a coil

    OBN has some videos. Find a replacement cable, open your old one up so you have acces to the wires, cut them maybe one at a time as you solder the new wires in place, cover with heat shrink with internal glue. Take a pill bottle, cut the bottom off, slide it over the new cable, down to the...

    WM09 for The Manticore, 700/900, and Xterra Pro.

    Suncoast kid, Sorry I don’t understand your issue. Are you saying the 1/8” plug will not go into the 1/4” adapter in your photo because the ledge on the base of the 1/8” plug limits the travel?

    Comparison - Manticore vs EQX 800 vs Explorer SE Pro

    Love your description of the Long Tones mode as I use it (smooth response) on my CTX at the beach. Any hope of getting it on the Manticore? Is great for the beach - I’m worried I’ll be missing targets with the fast response of the Manticore and my fast swing.

    Tesoro Tejon Again

    I use mine with a Cleansweep coil at the beach. Only downsides are no volume control and it can’t handle the wet sand.

    Minelab Manticore vs. CTX 3030

    OK, just did.

    Minelab Manticore vs. CTX 3030

    I just read through it. The Enhanced Audio mode has unique behavior but it isn’t the same as Smooth mode. I’d like to try a Manticore. Maybe someone that has one and dislikes it would trade for one of my CTX’s…

    Small thin chain found with AQ LTD

    A friend found a 14k gold heart pendant that looks like that clasp. Like 1/4” or so diameter. My AQ saw it on top of the sand at like 3” with high black sand content. I suspect it was louder for him than for me.

    Minelab Manticore vs. CTX 3030

    Does the Manticore or EQ900 have the CTX’s “smooth” setting? I like how it lengthens a target audio response that I’d miss otherwise.

    First Day with the Fisher Impulse AQ

    I think if you could learn the EQ800 it would do best for you. Unless perhaps if black sand is an issue. A lot of iron in your beaches. The AQ gets small stuff that you might not want. I don’t hunt often enough with my machines to be able to audibly discriminate so I dig a lot of trash. I did...

    I may have just cracked rhe "mystery" of the Xterra Pro on the beach....

    They could for example come up with a detector that bursts white noise but the DSP RX circuitry optimizes on one frequency for the eddy current response. The frequency could be optimized for terrain mineral content or water salt content. They could call it a single frequency detector… I think...

    I may have just cracked rhe "mystery" of the Xterra Pro on the beach....

    It could be because the gofind has simpler circuitry that does not utilize a higher frequency microcontroller. It could be more of an analog machine, a hybrid, for example. The frequencies depicted do not tell the full story. For example the frequencies shown for the GPZ don’t tell you that the...

    The frequencies listed don’t necessarily eminate from the coil. Can be from the electronics. I don’t understand your point.

    Lost My Pin Pointer.... Damn It..! Need Advice

    I won a ML one but found it didn’t detect gold pieces I had and the carrot would. But the carrot is annoying sometimes in that it doesn’t always come on and Work. I’ve been through 3 and they all did this occasionally.

    Frequencies is use at any one time

    My understanding is that all TX and RX frequencies are just shifted, enough to reduce pickup of the nearby EMI frequencies. Bugs me that the noise cancel number rarely repeats if you retry the function. You can manually set the number and see if you notice the sensitivity of gold drop. I...

    new ctx 3030 bad

    I’d just open it up and see what’s going on. It’s just a speaker. The electronics work because your headphones work.
