    "When" on the small coil and shafts???

    Any word on shipping dates for the small coils or lower shafts? Any word from Anderson and others regarding shafts? I really, really, need the small coil, first for the precision and second for the weight.

    Equinox 800 plugged into a desktop PC???

    Anyone tried the Echange program to see what happens? I read somewhere the Exchange 2 was bing reprogrammed to also handle the Equinox.

    Power bank to charge 800

    I searched aroung the net to find a dual or triple usb charger that could charge all the components of the 800 at the same time in the field. I found a 25,000mAH with dual usb at 2.1A, and it is waterporrf, with a slow solar charger. I fugured the solar charge could be happening while I am...

    gold 'picker' and flake air test

    There are a lot of 'gold' air tests on the net right now with the 800, some of them are small gold chains and others with rings. So, I had some old gold flakes and small 'pickers' so I decided to see if the 800 could pick them up. It's raining outside right now so I did it in the house along...

    manually Ground Balance, then auto??

    Okay after two 3 hour hunts I figured out I may need to ground balance, however it is working pretty good. Lots of coins, silver and gold, and junk! So, after using the CTX for almost 6 years I just plain forgot about ground balancing! So, what should the routine be - turn it on, find clean...

    205 silvers in this year

    I did not start the year with any goals as to amounts, etc., but in late November I was at the 180 mark, I have kept a spreadsheet of 'finds' for the past 6 years, and decided to do my best to get over 200 for the year. Today, hunting with good friends, I managed to get 7 out of the same hole...

    EQ screen indicators???

    On the screen there is a outer 180 degree circular 'bar' and on many of the screen shots it is not continuous, and on some it is continuous. On a couple of the videos there is enough of a 'screen shot' to see it is varying. There looks to be 5 segments of it. What does that do? What is the...

    gold frequencies and trash

    So, the Equinox has a 'high' frequency for gold, does that mean it will ignore, or disc out aluminum, brass, silver, etc.? How does this work in actual practice? In a park or at the beach do you set if for the high freq and then only dig certain responses? I honestly do not know and am...

    WM-10 and the Garrett Z-Link

    Useless information probably. I have two WM-10's (actually 3 but one is not working-battery) and Friday the unit I was using went dead. Battery charge exhausted. I got the backup unit and turned it on and it was also dead. So as I have an F75 as a backup detector and it has the Garrett...

    ground balance of coil issue

    Yesterday I put the stock middle sized coil on and started to hunt, I noise cancelled, then started swinging. Each time the coil got within an inch or so of the ground I would get a deep short hjm sound. I then took it and did one of the forund balance motions, moving the coil up and down to...

    WM10 battery issue

    I previously posted about my old, 2012 model WM10 with the battery gone bad. Cannot find one of the correct physical size, so asked for help from Minelab Service! Guess what? They are sending me another WM-10!!! UPS Ground and will be here the 28th. Now that is going above and beyond...

    replacment battery for WM10

    I did some searches for a replacment battery for the wireless. Seems there are lot of them that are close but the physical sizes are either two large with the same 3.7v Lipo 1000mah or too small mAH. Does anyone have a direct replacment battery anywhere that can be bought? I have two WM10's...

    Possible 'error' Barber???

    I got this about a week ago on a parking lot demo in north Houston. Filled with iron trash, rust, lead plumbing pieces, tin, etc.. Four of us there for almost 2 hours and only 4 coins, 1916 S Merc, 2 'teens wheats, and the 1909 S Barber. It was about 3" deep, surrounded by nails and other...

    Double dose of Walkers

    About 2 to 3 years ago I got involved in assisting an old fellow to find 7 buried spots on his little 5 acre cabin spot, where his dad had buried silver coins in the mid '70's. He had already dug one spot "under the bird bath" and it contained two plastic bags with 2000 silver quarters and a 2...

    Revisit to Amberjack battery repack

    About 3 weeks ago the CTX li-on rechargeable battery only lasted about 4 hours, and it seemed to never get charged. Stayed on charger for 12-18 hours and only reached the black 3 bar level. So, I pm'ed Amberjack and got all the information from him about what to use and how to do it. Ordered...

    coil issues

    A hunting friend that uses a 3030 (and his girlfriend also uses a 3030), called and said his small coil had failed. 'Coil not found' or something similar to that. After an inspection he could see the rubber grommet part of the coil cable, right at the coil, had parted and bare wires were...

    target trace

    After almost 4 years of CTX diggin, yesterday I watched an initial target display and numbers of about 12 40-42. As I was trying to isolate it from a rust sound, sweeping back and forth in short 3 or 4 inch sweeps, I watched the fuzzy and weak initial target display move from the 40-42 range...

    Battery charge issue??

    I got a replacement CTX LI battery about 3 months ago and I noticed that it charges fully, lights go solid green on the charger, in about 2 hours. And it lasts about 5 to 7 hours. I will actually time it next time out. Two days ago I got the 'low battery' indicator on the screen, changed...

    F75 back and 2 hunts

    hunted a 1928 house demo lot in Houston. First day on the front yard, and it was MUDDY, I got several old wheats, 10S' 12, 12D, 15, 16D, and about 10 newer ones. Almost all of them rang up around 71-72 but the numbers move so darned much I have to say that is where they hit mostly. Wednesday...

    Fast Grab and Manual ground balance

    I may be confused a bit. I am new to the F75 machine but not new to detecting. I got this one in November and it had the 11-14 date and it was not getting any depth, usually less than 6", but would sweep and say 10-12" abut the target was always at less than 6". It was stone cold quiet. I...
