    Finished up the "Honey hole" lot with these neat old finds.

    Your list of finds is very representative of an un-hunted yard around an old home from the 40's. Nice job. Rich -

    Truthfully, the difference in most detectors

    If he's hunting for clad and recently lost jewelry, what he's doing is right on. Keep going. That said, there is a difference in detectors. If he wishes to start finding jewelry in shallow water - a water resistant detector would be smart. If he wishes to hunt older locations and find...

    die-hards still here grinding them out!!!

    I ran the FBS detectors (Explorer XS / Etrac almost exclusively beginning in 2000 until I sold my Etrac about 18 months ago. I have been swinging the 800 almost 3 years. In the places I hunt, my 800 with the stock 11" is as deep or just a little deeper than my Etrac with equivalent coil. I...

    X-1 Probe

    Would be nice, but not possible - the "X-1 probe" is actually a 1" diameter COIL specifically made for the Minelab FBS detectors. I like the idea though. rich

    X-1 Probe

    Absolutely, if you can handle the weight. I used one for years on my Explorer XS (old white probe) and then again when I bought my etrac (newer black probe). Make sure you have an open screen, as in no discrimination, when pinpointing. Faster and more accurate pinpointing and helps find good...

    War Nickel

    I agree with this. A few years ago, somebody on the Dankowski forum was collecting info from the other detectorists about inconsistencies in the alloy / make up of the 'silver' war nickels. Seems that some war nickels ID'd much different than the norm. I had some outlyers (nothing crazy high)...

    f75 vs equinox 800

    I've had my 800 for nearly 3 years. My experience with it has shown it to be excellent detector especially at finding good targets co-located with bad. It separates well and target ID's deep. I would go so far to say that it's my favorite detector I've used in the many years I've been...

    Multi Coin Spills ? Could be Analog driven, huh ?

    For me, Audio is king. Even on a detector with Visual target ID - the audio still trumps. A good detector has excellent audio characteristics. In fact, I'll say that my detectors MUST have excellent audio characteristics or they won't be purchased in the first place. Rich -

    Trouble with my apex

    Garrett customer service replied back quickly and sent me an RMA and a shipping label. I'm looking forward to getting it back. Rich -

    Trouble with my apex

    Yes, I was experiencing what I thought was excessive falsing and I am able to duplicate this trouble exactly as described. I reset my APEX per John's suggestion and checked the coil cable connection. The viper coil connector is fully inserted into the connector housing and the locking ring...

    Out Doing A Water Hunt In The Freezing Cold North Saskatchewan River

    My relic shovel is the most effective since I deal with cobblestones (baseball to cantaloupe sized stones with intermixed gravels) making recovery a little tricky especially when the water gets a little deeper. :) Stay dry - Rich

    Choosing The Right Frequency For The Right Targets

    I've been a multi-freq'r for close to 30 years now between my first CZ-6 when they came out in the early 90's, to other CZ-s and Explorer's, Etrac's, Sovereigns, Equinox's and now the APEX - I like that the APEX is flexible and can move from SMF to 5 - 10 - 15 -20khz if needed or in certain...

    Out Doing A Water Hunt In The Freezing Cold North Saskatchewan River

    John, I'm glad to see the APEX is working for you. Careful of the water/ housing. Is the river low enough to use a shovel ? Or does it call for a scoop ? The water is cold on the hands this time of year. :LOL: Always nice to see the older cents as indicators of possible silver. Best of...
