    Coil cable splice

    Hi All, I have a spare 7" coil that I acquired (used ) that someone removed a few inches of cable to "shorten" it.They did the removal from practically right at the coil, leaving hardly any cable whatsoever for future maint, to the splice. The machine is a "hardwired"machine and I suppose no...

    Amigo II

    Anyone ever open up an Amigo II? I started going into mine just to take a look and compare the board with my Compadre, but the thing has a heap of screws in it, and it is pieced together like some sort of Chinese Puzzle. That is the thought that comes to my mind anyway, and I had no sooner...

    I have a digging Buddy in our club that needs some Tips on using the Cibola(stock coil) in old home sites with lots of iron/nail littered dirt. Soil is mostly mild /.neutral but of course the nails are a problem for everyone.. I plan on letting her try my 5.75 Con. and 5 X10 Ellipt.coils to help...

    Garrett ProPointer

    I am a pit puzzled about the sound/ volume on the ProPointer I finally decided on. It came a few days ago and right out of the box soon as I turned it on I realized it was indeed pretty loud.For me to hear it sound off was great because my hearing is pitifully bad! Well, the volume didn't last...

    Wilson Coin Select

    Anyone using a CoinSelect on the wet/dry(salt) beach? I understand it works really well in the wet & dry. I have one I put on a straight shaft that I hope one day to finally get to the beach with. Only about 30 miles to the beach but I haven't made it there yet. I would think precautions need be...

    Here is a bit of good info

    to know for you folks not familuar with hunting pasture land and places frequented by such critters of the herding kind. Keep as close a watch on your parked vehicles as you can, as cows especially are like a bunch of bad young-uns and will be doing their very best to investigate every square...

    Amigo II and Compare

    I think I may have made an attempt awhile back to get some clarification on some differences (if any)between the Amigo II and the newer (2 versions ,,,? if such) Compadre.Just how does low noise/high gain apply to all versions of the 2 detectors? It is a bit confusing and seems I read from time...

    8 1/2 " Round (5 pin)White Con. Coil

    Anyone swapped this one around on any of their machines ? It is an older design from Toltec 80, Mayan, Inca and probably others. Been awhile but seems I remember trying it on most all my Tesoros (some UMAX some not) that I could get it on, but did not do any real hunting with it.Seems to work...

Actually it is one of 2 (2nd hand) that I got several years ago for my Grandkids. 5 ' of water came through their house (500yds.) off the Gulf Coast Beach. One was on the shelf in a closet and one was on the floor in the...

    BLO ORIGINAL SURVEY PLAT MAP IMAGES

    Does anyone know what went of the BLO site I posted awhile back? Great site it "WAS." I tried to pull it up from my "Favorites " last night and it is no longer available. They appear to have reworked the site and for some reason decided the Original Survey Plat Images needed to be left...

    10"Eliptical ws coil

    Thought I would run this by again and see if anyone has any more input on it. I have some input now that I have used my 10" Ews on my Tejon a couple of times and believe I am going to like it just fine. I did find another War of 1812 Period (Eagle with shield this time) about 20' from where I...

    D D (Wide Scan) Coils

    I don't recall any recent , or really in depth discussions on DD coils in MILD dirt lately. Most all we ever read is how good they are "supposed" to be in mineralized dirt,I have read some from one or two guys that were doing really good in their mild dirt with DDs', but would like to hear more...

    Subject for Discussion:

    It has been discussed a few times before, but I don't believe I have seen the question of "dogs hearing your detector at long distances".discussed lately.That is with headphones being used and no "outside" sound. I have noticed that on many occasions when I was in the woods a good distance, 2 to...

    Cibola Question

    I know a couple that just bought a new Cibola, and I have been doing what I can to help them get the hang of detecting,without overloading them with things but letting them work their own way into doing things however it is fitting to them. In helping with the Cibola, I have become a bit...

    Sidewinders Question

    Since I am doing some more rehab from a Pacemaker implant, I have been reading up on some things that I have been wondering about concerning the "older tech" Tesoros. One of those "wonderings" is that the original, or first Sidewinder,with smaller headphone jack(1/8"?) must have come without low...

    7"Coils

    I would appreciate any comments on the preference of either the Troy Super 7 or the old standard 7" Concentric coil on some of the older/or newer, Tesoros when hunting the iron and naily places. I have read where some of the older hands mentioned that they prefer the older standard...

    Heart Pacemakers, Difibulators etc.

    There are many of these devices and I am asking for a friend, if any one knows of "any" that are banned from being used by anyone using a metal detector. I have read that there are no problems, but I am looking for the complete story, since there are so many different devices and particular...
