    No lag wireless headset

    I did a search and didn't find any other posts about the Rapoo headset. I just picked up a Rapoo H3070 2.4GHz rechargeable wireless headset. The kit comes with a small transmitter, headset, and cables. You can control the volume and the headset is great for summer wear. I took them for a trial...

    Temporary setback

    My Deus has a rare condition and was sent in for repairs Last fall I was hunting a plowed field with very few targets. I found a target that registered very high on the TID scale at 12KHz. I thought I had found a large copper or even silver object. The signal was sweet but as I dug I hit a fist...

    Close call at the soccer park

    I was hunting a soccer park that I've hunted for a few years now. It has coughed up a lot of good targets so its my favorite spot to hunt. A groundskeeper pulled up next to me on his gator and asked if I was searching for something in particular. I said just detecting. He then told me I was on...

    Eliptical vs Round

    There are some areas I hunt by power lines (transformers in particular), that are very difficult because of EMI. I'm talking about 100 ft away that is fairly brutal on the ears (especially when I set the detector down to dig). It is generally accepted that eliptical coils are less affected by...

    Working in nails

    I was at a field working over an area where an old homestead once was. The soil was full of nails and iron objects. That didn't bother me, I listened for the high tones of non ferrous targets. The targets that I did find were always close to the surface. After 3 hrs in the field, I did pull two...

    Android mapping software

    I have been searching for a map program that I can place a stick pin where I find potential old homesteads to get permission to search. By using Historic Map Works overlays I can find the site but must record the location in a notebook. Not any more....... I came across a program called "Locus...

    F/S Propointer Skins

    As seen in the post on modifications forum Propointer Skins If you like this Idea, and cannot find small quantities of clear shrink film in 200 gauge, I am selling a kit of 12 heat shrink skins plus 3 extras (just in case of flaws) for a total of 15-skins plus 1-tip protector, for the...

    ProPointer skin

    http://youtu.be/9aU0xmZxKUk Video lighting is poor but for instructional purposes and I didn't want to keep tearing off skins and re-applying them. You need a heat gun. If you don't have one available, Harbor Freight has them for $8 plus tax. It is a very handy tool to have around the house...

    Overcharging your Deus

    Maybe I'm late to the table with this hint, but was reminded by Andy's post about forgetting to charge the coil. Its advised in the manual not to leave your Deus on the charger for longer than necessary (3hrs I believe). I forgot a couple times and left it on for 8hrs or more. I came up with a...

    Some praise for the XP Deus

    I bought my Deus in early June 2012, and not including gas and other incidental expenses, in 6 months my Deus has paid for itself in gold, silver and clad finds. Only one other detector I own has done the same but not in such a short time and it only cost $425. Of course I am a more experienced...

    Jewelry hunting technique

    I've posted this a number of years ago on another forum but I think it bears repeating, especially when the procedure worked for me again the other day. I found a gold religious medallion without the chain. A sweep with my Propointer in the hole didn't net any additional results, neither did...

    F/S Sidekick (Super-tune Module) for the Propointer

    If you haven't seen the Sidekick, check out the Modifications Forum heading(s) "A better way to super tune the Propointer" and "How to make your own Sidekick" I have more than one left. $10 shipped to the lower 48 states. Would make a great stocking stuffer for Christmas. PM me for more info. Ran

    For the experienced researcher....

    With available plat maps only dating back to the 1870's, how would one go about finding homesteads in fields that existed before the plat maps were created? I look for rises, sat map anomalies, plow arounds, and tree clusters. But its hit and miss. I see a lot of pre 1870 field finds...

    Slim pickings

    Went out to a farm field ghost town. It wasn't much of a town back in 1875 but it had a post office so that put it on the map. Anyhow its been slim pickings and for all the hunting I've done since this spring when I got permission, I've only found a few interesting relics, 4 Indian pennies, and...

    How to make your own Sidekick for the Propointer.

    I have decided to stop making the Sidekick but have a several left so if anybody wants the kit, just PM me for purchase info.The Sidekick is simply a coil of wire and a switch. Simple concept but very difficult to work with because of the small size of the components. To see how the Sidekick...

    My theory of Terra firma

    We often hear of the posts where someone finds an old coin or two near the surface in the same location as zincolns and pull tabs that are 6+ inches. I have experienced the same. I have heard a lot of explanations except this one and its based on my coin test area. The soil in my area is...

    Old park in the city

    Now mind you I'm not bragging on myself. I'm just really happy about my finds with the Deus. Somehow I think I'm on a really lucky streak or I'm becoming one with this detector. I believe I have done better with the Deus in the short couple months I've owned it than all my other detectors...

    Tested my jewelry program this weekend

    Went to a HUGE local multi-sports field that gets replenished often (like a beach). It has been so dry that I stayed away even though they have a sprinkler system and irrigate often. Thursday and Friday it rained so I decided to hit it and test the program. Here's the results minus about $3...

    I wasn't going to dig it....

    I figured it was can slaw. In addition it was close to the road and all I was finding was trash. I had been searching the school because I found several silver dimes and lots of wheat's and one war nickle (not to mention the clad...but wait, I just did!). Anyhow Its a shirt pin possibly for a...

    I made an antenna

    out of an RCA style audio cable. It is 6' long. It is thin enough to fit through the hole in the lower shaft but I chose to go outside with Velcro wraps but tywrapped it to the coil. I cut the ends back exposing the center conductor 1-1/8 to 1-1/4 (I made it before reading the thread about...
