    Analog will never completely die

    It seems like the digital machines just aren't built to take a beating the way the old analog machines were. Also, from what I can tell there is more variability in the individual machines when it comes to the modern crop of digital machines.Without getting into brand bashing I've tried several...

    Sold on 6" DD coil for coinshooting on my XT-70

    I am primarily a relic hunter, but with a dearth of sites to hunt close by I decided to do more coinshooting this year. I have a 6" DD coil that I purchased for just that purpose and when I used it at an old, grown over drive-in theater today I was really impressed. We didn't find any coins, but...

    Separation in Iron

    The old GMT 1650 had a reputation for being a great detector when hunting in an iron infested site. Is there anything today that has that kind of separation, perhaps with a little better depth? Like 8 to 10 inches on a target?

    Coil Choice - Depth and Separation needed

    I know of a couple of sites that heavily laden with iron from 7-8" deep and the good targets are mixed in and are on average at about 8" or slightly deeper. I'm using a Tejon and I need a little advice on what coil to buy to supplement my stock coil. Because of the depth of good targets I have...

    Conductivity Scale

    Does anyone have a scale of conductivity for typical U.S. targets? Was wondering where a U.S. Nickel compares to a lead CW bullet? And, where is iron on that scale?

    Tejon and 5.75 coil

    On a Tejon, what kind of depth does the 5.75 concentric get compared to the stock coil in moderate to good ground? Almost as much (just 1-2" less) or does it only get about 7" or so? I know of a site that is practically carpeted with small iron and nails and the good targets are about 8" to 9"...

    Tejon and small targets

    Would using the 12X10 cut down on the real small targets the Tejon sees? I don't need to be picking up birdshot. Some of the areas we hunt are covered in it because of bird hunters in the woods.

    Comparison of Sov GT to Nautilus

    Has anyone ever had the chance to run a comparison between a Sovereign and a Nauti in the field, under real conditions? Does the Nauti really not handle bad ground, the way some people say? How's the depth between them? I know this is a Sovereign forum, but I figure you guys would give a fairly...

    Nautilus still King of Depth?

    Is the Nautilus still considered the deepest machine for relic hunting?

    Comparison between Nautilus and Sov GT?

    Has anyone ever compared these two machines for depth and separation in iron?

    Tejon and deep targets

    What is the best way to setup the Tejon so that you can figure out if your target is below a certain depth? I know that discrimination typically subtracts depth, so there has to be some way to setup the two discriminators so that using both to establish and then check a target, you can get an...

    Reverse disc (of sorts) using prospecting mode

    Has anyone tried using prospecting mode to locate targets, then flipped over to Coin/Treas in AM to see if the target comes up and if it doesn't you've got a deep target to dig? Its getting to where the deeper the better on known CW sites and it occurred to me this might be one way to get max...

    Deep targets with the Tejon

    For those with a few years experience hunting with the Tejon. If you were hunting a hard hunted area and just going after the deep signals, how would you set up your machine? Run in all metal? VCO clicked on or off? Slightly positive GB or neutral? Threshold set to just hear or? TIA, Bill

    Relatively Lightweight Analogue detector?

    Did anyone ever make a relatively light analogue detector (3.5 lbs or so and well balanced) that was practically no frills, could be hunted with an audible threshold and had a couple different coils, like a 7", 9.5 or 10" coil? Seems like a good relic hunting machine should have the ability to...

    Tones on the X-terra

    I've been using my X-terra 70 off and on for about 18 months and I love the machine, but I want to try and hunt more with just the tones. I have tried switching over to the 99 tones mode (I know its only 28) a few times and it seems a little overwhelming, but I want to get away from relying so...

    10.5" MF DD coil for X-terra 70?

    Are the larger DD coils not available right now? I need to replace the one I had to sell with another detector over the summer, but I'm just not seeing them for sale anywhere. Any help?

    Hunting Homesites and possible caches

    My son and I were hunting a construction site yesterday and evidence of an old homestead was turning up. At some point I got a deep signal and we started digging. Eighteen inches into it we came down on what turned out to be an iron pipe and as I traced signals around that area it became...

    Tejon revisited

    At the end of last year's relic season (April of this year) I traded out my X-terra 705 and some goodies for a new Tejon. I had a Tejon for a short time about 2 years ago and I was disappointed because of how unstable it seemed. Just took out the new Tejon detecting for the first time as...

    Tejon and Discrimination

    I started detecting about 3 years ago with beep-dig machines and one of the things I quickly figured out was there is a loss in detection depth with the use of discrimination. Well, after 3 years of using a number of TID type machines I'm back to using a Tesoro (Tejon to be specific). Does...

    FS Minelab Advantage w/10" and 8" coil

    It pains me to sell this, but I got laid-off two weeks ago and gotta start marshalling my resources. I have a black box Advantage in excellent, lightly used condition with both Slimline, 10" and 8" coils, hip-mounting bag, straight shaft that puts the box under the elbow. I'm asking $360...
