    $200 For A Used Digisearch Meter?! Wow, Prices Are Going Up! & A Tip For A Hard To Tune Or "Bad" Adjustment POT...

    Looks like the thought that used SE Pros, GT's, and parts for Sovereigns might go up now that Minelab canned them might turn out to be true? :shrug: Saw a Digisearch meter sold in the accessories forum, used but said to be in great shape, but just the same that's a hefty price for these things...

    EarlthyPotLuck - Smooth As Pie Transaction & Stand Up Guy.:thumbup: & A Few Thoughts On Why I Like Buying/Selling On Findmall Better Than Other Sites.

    Recently sold him my S-5 coil and found dealing with him low hassle and trustworthy. That's one of the reasons why I trust doing business with people on Findmall better than typical "auction" sites- Many of the people here we've seen posts from and known for years, and if you don't recognize the...

    Heard It Said Several Times In The Past- That The Sovereign Is A Bit Hotter Than The Excalibur? Short Video Testing That...

    I've heard it said many times in the past- that the Sovereign, or at least certain models of it, was a bit hotter/deeper and a bit more sensitive to tiny stuff than the Excalibur, or at least certain renditions of the Excalibur. While I was doing a few things for my friend's brand new (2012)...

    News Flash If You Missed It-:hot:Detech Now Makes 8x6 SEF Coil For BBS Units! Maybe Kellyco Will Special Order With Enough Committed Pre-Orders Like T

    Just in case anybody missed DeepDiger's fantastic discovery here in an unrelated thread, it appears there is indeed a BBS version of the 8x6 SEF coil now? I suspect this is a new thing :shrug:, because in all my searching over the years I never saw mention of a BBS version, even on Detech's home...

    What Kind Of Silver Quarter Do You Think This Is? (Badly Damaged)

    Here's a few pics of my mystery quarter. The thing is not fat like the pictures make it look. Roughly a bit thinner than a quarter, but about a quarter in size for the most part (maybe a tad bigger in diameter with the damage)...

    Two Hunts- Silver, Bling, & Other Things...:detecting:

    A few days ago I headed out to a site I haven't really hunted before and did a quick hour plus hunt just to see what might be lurking around. I was using my GT and 12x10 coil. Running about 7 or 8PM on the sensitivity dial (near max manual full sensitivity). Got a good silver sounding hit at 7...

    Anybody notice ALL Forums Have Been Dead Summer & Fall/Winter? & I Mean ALL Forums...

    Just saying I've never seen the forums for all machines, any brand, as dead as they've been this past summer and now this winter. In the heat of the summer I always saw that trend over the years when it got too hot to hunt, other than the water hunters of course, but usually it picked up in the...

    Sweet Deal On Sovereign XS With 12x10 & Sun Ray Probe, etc. Posted In Classified Forum. 10 Minutes Old. I'd Jump On It If Looking For A Sovereign.

    Just pointing out our old friend Wpruden has his XS up for sale in the classifieds section- with a 12x10, Sun Ray inline probe, and other extras. The 12x10, being hard to find used and the best coil I've ever used on a machine, along with the Sun Ray probe makes the price worth it IMO, not to...

    Securing Your Coil Cable Properly In Water, Or When Hip Or Chest Mounting On Land Too, To Prevent Shorts Over Time...

    A friend got a new Excalibur and wanted me to wrap the coil cable well for me, as far away from the coil as possible (on the stock shaft). I prefer to wrap the coil cable on my GT up past the grip, but obviously there really isn't the room to do that on the stock Excal shaft. Two places a coil...

    Chuck At Indian Nation Detectors- Great Service, Price, Lay Away Plan, Hassle Free, & Responded To Emails Promptly! :thumbup:

    Ordered an 8" Tornado for my Sovereign before Minelab's deadline just to make sure they'd make one like promised if they were out of the products they intended to discontinue. Chuck gave me a good price and treated me like a long time customer of his even though it was my first time doing...

    Acquired 8" Tornado, So Looking To Sell Sun Ray S-5 (Sovereign Coil) Or Trade For 13" Ultimate

    This Sun Ray coil is around $200 new. I've hardly used it myself and it should be in real good shape, but before doing the deal I'll send you some better pictures of it than the one below I had taken a while back so you can examine condition. I really haven't paid much attention to how good of...

    Only Weak Link In Pro Pointer- On/Off Button "Failure". Jamming? Not Turning On/Off? Rubber Switch Cover Falling Apart? Got A Potential Easy Fix Anybo

    Most of us know that the Pro Pointer is very reliable. You hardly ever hair of failures. In fact, I've dropped my from a good height onto hard cement about two or three times in the past. I was sure it was toast, but the thing still works like brand new. Some guys report it falses on them. The...

    Excalibur Price Going Up?

    Several days back a friend shot me a Email and said rumor has it the price of the Excalibur is going up $150. Anybody heard anything about this? If it's true then I'm wondering why in the world that's going to be done, because as it stands right now the Excalibur is already a premium price...

    Tomorrow The Deadline? Better Get Your Orders In With A Dealer For A 8 Or 10" Tornado So Minelab Will Fill It, Or For A GT Or SE Too. I Got My Order I

    As most of us know, Minelab said they will fill any orders for the 8 or 10" Tornados for the Sovereign/Excalibur BBS machines before they are discontinued in production so long as they place the order with a dealer by the deadline of December 31st. Same deal with the GT and SE Pro I guess. Maybe...

    Compilation Of Explorer ID Charts

    Not sure if this should be posted in the Explorer Classroom forum or not, so forgive me if it should have been and feel free to move it. A friend who has an SE Pro on the way took the time to compile together various ID charts off the web into one massive one. Yes, of course the audio is key...

    FS- Sun Ray Intruder S-5 Coil For Sovereign, Or Work Out Some Kind Of Trade For New Or Used 8" Tornado.

    This coil has the coil cover and has been used lightly. It may have some scratches on the bottom (haven't really looked) I suspect but it's in great shape having hardly been used. The coil cable has not been shortened from the factory length or anything. This coil is around $200 new. I am asking...

    Today's Hunt. GT + 12x10 = Two Keepers.

    I've now used the S-12 enough to decide that it's only place will be perhaps as my water coil to replace the 10" Tornado if drag isn't an issue. For land it's 12x10 all the way now, with the 13" Ultimate here and there for a bit faster coverage of large areas such as fields or open beach (not...

    Do You Hope A Breakthru Happens In Ability To Unmask Or Say Tell Gold Rings From Trash? Think Of The Implications Before Wishing For That...

    This spawned out of another thread on an unrelated topic, so I figured it might be interesting to kick this around in a discussion... We all know old coins and silver in particular are fairly hard to come by on most public land these days. We know they are still there, but to find them takes...

    Say It Ain't So Joe! Storage Wars Fixed?!

    Looks like David Hester has quit the show and is suing for millions. He claims he complained that the producers were stuffing lockers with items to help other members on the show (and him as well) and made other huge claims about how they rig the bidding and such. He says when he complained to...

    Any Idea On This Pendant?

    [attachment 251242 IMG_2086.jpg][attachment 251243 IMG_2090.jpg] The pendant was about 6" deep and the nail was aprox the distance from it in the hole as the picture shows. The pendant gave a wheat penny ID. The back side has some junk gold color to while the front looks copper or bronze-like...
