    Who Picked Up One Of Kellyco's Latest Batch Of 12x10s, & How You Liking It So Far?

    Seems there was quite a few people thirsting for a 12x10 by the time Kellyco got a batch in. Think I just read (?) a day or so ago that somebody said Kellyco was down to 2 coils when they ordered theirs. Anybody know how many Kellyco got in the shipment? Just curious how many sold this fast...

    Minelab...If They Still Make Excaliburs Then Wouldn't That Mean They Still Make 8 & 10" Tornados?

    I was just thinking- you can get an Excal with the 8 or 10" Tornado, so I would guess that means Minelab still is going to make those coils to put on those at the factory even though they told us they'll stop making them at the end (end?) of December. I wonder if Minelab will sell us one of...

    ATT: Findmall Sponsors- Shoot Me A PM With Price On New 8" Tornado For Sovereign

    I'd prefer to buy one of these coils used to save a few bucks but they are almost impossible to find used since they seem to be the favorite for a super heavy trash coil (only being 7.25" in actual size) and still get outstanding depth. I'm looking to get my hands on one new since I can't find...

    GT + 12x10 = Second Day Of Silver At Same Park

    The day after I dug the silver ring, I returned to the same park and once again managed a few keepers. This time around I got a great suspected silver dime hit that sounded at least 8 or 9" deep. I normally hunt with the volume on the GT all the way down since my headphones lack volume controls...

    Toy Soldier Red Cross Nurse? And Can You Place Age/What War?

    Wanted to also show you guys something I dug a while back that I took some pics of today to see if somebody can date it. It's what I guess is a red cross nurse based on the cross on her chest and still a tiny bit of red clinging to that. I dug her at an old farm house in the front yard. A good...

    GT + 12x10 = A Bit Of Bling...A Beautiful Thing. Plus Another Find...

    Yesterday I hit an old park. Dug 3 or 4 wheats when I came across a shallow "clad" hit sounding about 5" deep max.Typical for me is anything less than about 5" at a pounded park I let pass unless it's masked pretty well which might mean an old coin others had missed due to the masking, otherwise...

    Figured Out How To Do Better Close Ups, So Here's Some Buttons/Tokens I'm Trying To ID...

    Somebody gave me a tip to use a loop to get non-fuzzy close ups with my digital camera. Works great, or at least much better than what I was able to do before, so here's a few buttons and a Kendall Oil token I plucked out as a quick test of the loop/lens deal on my camera...

    Assortment Of Buttons (Military, Railroad, Etc?). Can You Place Age/History/Any Value? & Kendall Oil Token.

    Somebody on here a few weeks back gave me the tip of trying a loop to enhance close up ability of my manual focus digital camera/camcorder. I want to thank you for that as it worked great! Gone are fuzzy close ups for me now, so I figured time to start sorting through my piles of buttons...

    Easy To "Make" Super/De-Tuner For ProPointer. Precisely Calibrate 1-Handed With Your Thumb & Hands Free Once Set Too.

    I just did a pictorial-style video on this a few days ago but today I tweaked a few things in it and updated some stuff. So far for me this is the easiest, lowest hassle, one handed (with your thumb) way I've tried yet to super or de tune the Pro Pointer, and the best part is it offers precise...

    Depth Tests- Threshold Vs Silent Search Mode, Vs Raising Threshold To Hear It Again In Silent Search To "Boost" Signal.

    I've seen this topic kicked around by some including myself in the past. Is the rule of thumb that threshold mode is deeper than Silent Search mode true? But in particular the real interesting one kicked around is what might happen if you raise the threshold so you can hear it again in Silent...

    One Of Biggest Questions Always Asked But With Scarce Answers- Sun Ray S-12 Comparison To 12x10. :thumbup: & Comparison Of It To 10" Tornado & 13" Ult

    After sending the 13" Ultimate I was testing back to it's owner, I was once again graciously offered to test another coil not in my arsenal. This time the legendary Sun Ray S-12 coil. I've had many Emails and PMs over time from people asking me of opinions of the S-12 to the 12x10, and have seen...

    Can You ID This Pin Or Tie Clip? Military?

    [attachment 248423 IMG_2094.jpg][attachment 248424 IMG_2096.jpg] Sorry the pics aren't better. I found this last year hunting a empty house lot. It rang in the pulltab range if I remember right and what made me dig it was that it had a very "quality" sound to it, unlike a lot of junk in that...

    Bad Detectorist Behaviour At The Beach...:rant:

    A group of 5 among our circle of hunting friends went out for a beach hunt yesterday and I wanted to relate some very bad behaviour by a detectorist we experienced. It all started when a guy we didn't know showed up and walked right up to within about 3 or 4 feet in front of my one friend and...

    2nd Time's The "Charm" Beach Hunting With GT Using PP Mode, & Update On Unethical Detectorist...

    [attachment 248236 IMG_2092.jpg] Went back to the same badly mineralized beach I hit yesterday. Didn't hunt too long but PP mode filled my apron halfway decent for such a short hunt. Once again coins as little as say 3 or 4" were a total null or choked badly like iron in discriminate, while PP...

    Hunt At The Beach & Bad Behaviour...

    Five of us headed to the beach to do some sand hunting. Not in the water since it's too cold now. I kept switching between PP and discriminate playing with those more. This is the really badly mineralized beach I've talked of before, with a lot of microscopic iron, black sand, and other minerals...

    Heavy Metals Such As Gold Rings Or Silver/Gold Coins Being "Flung" Up Onto The Beach?

    We all know gold is heavy and will sink pretty fast, especially in wet sand and water, but what I'm wondering is people's opinions on say old gold or silver coins from ship wrecks, along with gold rings, in how or if they can be pushed up onto the beach from the water? Do you believe these items...

    Final Assessment Of 13" Ultimate Before Returning To Owner

    Well, the Ultimate gets shipped back to it's owner in 4 days. And that will be with a sad and heavy heart, because I DO LIKE this coil. I feel it's well worthy of sitting along side my 12x10 and my 10" Tornado for certain days. The 10" Tornado is regulated to the stock shaft I use for my water...
