    In Response To A Question About Falsing Pinpointers Due To Flexing, I've Got A Good Story About The Mystery Of A Coil That Went Bonkers After The Firs

    Somebody was asking in another forum about if the Minelab pin pointer would false if you applied pressure on the shaft a good bit like it will on the Pro Pointer. I never found that to be a problem with the Garrett unless I really put pressure on the thing jabbing it into the ground, way more...

    Pinpointer Compatibility

    The problem with a pin pointer sounding off when pressure is applied to the shaft, is that shaft is a coil, and unless it's filled with epoxy then the windings will distort and even a little distorting due to pressure/flexing will cause falsing. That's why most coils are filled with epoxy...

    A Warning For Dog Lovers: If your dog throws up something that looks like milk, take it to the vet right that minute! I've just seen two dogs die this

    Recently my dog, a beautiful long haired (or wooly) Husky named Sky passed away. This morning something happened that made this even stick out in my mind more, so humor me here and read this if you love your pets... My neighbor's dog, a black lab Rottweiler mix, was paying tons of attention to...

    Reading The Trees...

    I posted this elsewhere but thought it might be of interest to some here as well... Apple or other fruit trees...For one, when they are in bloom in the spring it's a great way to spot old homestead sites long since abandoned in the woods. The fruit trees they planted stick out like a sore thumb...

    And The Frenzy Begins...:biggrin: Kellyco Now Has Sovereign Version Of 13" Ultimate In Stock For First Time!

    I'm hearing depth might be as deep as the 12x10, but nobody has tested head to head yet (?) in the FBS or BBS circiles the I'm aware of. Just hearing impressions at least on the web from those who have used both coils that say it seems to hit deep stuff as loud and hard as the 12x10, and the...

    Some Pack Re-Building Info For Pre-Elite Sovereigns Models You Can't Buy Rechargeable Packs For, But Also Of Interest To Excals & GT/Elite Users...

    I wanted to add one more aspect in more detail to the battery sticky, but didn't want to muck it up more than I already have, as links are more approapiate in stickys of course. So here it is... Of particular interest for packs you can't buy anymore for older models before the Elite, but also...

    If Finding Rings Is A Numbers Game...

    If finding rings is a numbers game, which many argue and with huge merit to that of course, then how do you increase the amount of trash you dig so the laws of averages finally produce you a ring? Of course beaches are a place where rings are lost more frequently than some sites on land, but if...

    What's Your "Cache" Policy Among Fellow Hunters?

    I haven't been lucky to find one myself yet. Well, perhaps a few "kiddy" caches of tokens and other odd things that were obviously buried together as pirates treasure. Recently one friend did find a cache of game tokens from like the 50's or so. Must have been thirty or so of them in one hole...

    Stop Trying To Fit A Round Peg Into A Square Hole (Looking For Deeper Silver At Sites That Don't Allow Them To Sink Super Deep)

    This was in my response to somebody looking for deeper silver at a pounded site where it might not sink that deep, out of the range of some other machines... One word...12x10. Don't know how well it does on your machine but it's done wonders in both more depth and better separation on some...

    The constant struggle for more depth...what do I do?

    One word...12x10. Don't know how well it does on your machine but it's done wonders in both more depth and better separation on the Minelabs, mine included. I can tell you my "lowly" GT is getting just as deep and unmasking just as well as my friend's flagship computer model Minelab, comparing...

    The Great Sovereign Volume Debate...

    Been surfing some UK Sovereign forums. Interesting to get a different perspective from over seas on how guys set up and use the Sovereign and such, and unique perspectives on other things like the SEF coils and so on. Anyway, noticed a theme that I've seen in this forum in the past. Some guys...

    Post Your Favorite Sovereign Videos (Hunting Or Setup/Use Type Stuff)

    Got some catching up to do on videos now that I've got volume back on one of the computers I use. Been months, as the other with volume I don't use as often as it's at another place. Anyway, thought it would be fun for people to post some video links to Sovereign videos they found pretty good...

    It's been a while since I've had volume on a computer set up again. Only a few videos over the last several months have I watched when I had access to another computer with working volume. Now that I've got this one fixed I took the time to catch up on a few videas in the model sticky. Haven't...

    So She Said She Gets Better Depth And IDs At Night? Anybody Got Any Opinion On That?

    One time years ago I ran into a lady detecting in a rural area when I was traveling. I stopped and talked to her and she was all excited about a seated dime she just found at the old school she was hunting. I think she was using a Tesoro but it's been a while ago. Anyway, she started talking...

    We Overlooked Mentioning/Getting Pics Of One SEF Coil. Another Wild Goose Chase...21x17 SEF Coil Beside 18x15, 15x12, & 12x10, Or Any Combination Of T

    I noticed we had neglected to even mention the SEF 21x17 in the coil sticky thread. Maththias had already posted a pic of the 18x15 next to the 12x10 which is a really great help to judge coil sizes, but none of us even mentioned the 21x17 let alone tried to find a pic of it next to any of the...
