    GT Hunting In Pin Point Mode At "Dead" Beach With Bad Mineralization. WOW! Apron Full Of Coins, A Wheat, & Maybe One Keeper Ring. "Dead" Beach? 3 Word

    Today I headed to a beach to hunt the dry sand that has been hit hard. I've already gridded most of this beach myself, and I know it's been hit hard because of the lack of targets compared to what is typical. Anyway, after gridding for a while I noticed even coins in the 6" range or so and...

    New Video- 10" Tornado, SEF 12x10, 13" Ultimate, & Sun Ray S-5 Trying To See Clad Dimes Masked In Various Ways Such As Under An Elevated Nail, & Tryin

    Give me a bit to get the link going for the video, as I have to fix a few things first here that always seem to creep up. But for now here's some still shots of the various nail masking tests performed with all 4 coils, along with 3 old mineralized red bricks stacked on on top of each other to...

    Anybody Else Thankful For Trash? After all, if it didn't exist there wouldn't be any coins still masked, or gold to be found.

    I for one don't curse the trash. I look at it as a good thing. VLF technology means first target hit by the detection field is the only thing it sees, even if it's a good bit off to the side than a deeper coin but the shallower trash is still in the detection field. And far as gold goes, once...

    Water Hunt Today With GT- 1 Halfway Decent Find. & A Guy Using A Name-Withheld Entry Level Detector Hands Me My Head. :rage:

    Scooped a small handfull of coins and only got one semi-keeper. A round makeup compact about the diameter of a half dollar or so. It looks to be maybe copper or brass and might be old, as I've dug similar ones on land in the past about the same size that look somewhat similar. It's in pretty...

    10x12 SEF Coil??

    Don't know about the 12x10 compared to that coil, but if you look in the MXT forum there is a video probably still on page 1 where a guy tested the SEF 8x6 against another coil which is known for handling mineralized ground well, and yet the SEF could see a coin under a red brick that the other...

    Waterproof Device To Go Over Stock Coil Plug Without Having To Change Plug? Or, A Replacement Plug That Still Mates With Standard Sovereign Control Bo

    I think Doc makes a replacement 6 pin waterproof plug for your coils to use on your Excal, but it will still plug into the stock plug on your Sovereign control box too for use on land. In other words, it only becomes waterproof when it's mated to the mate for it that you'd put on your Excal for...

    Video- Discrimination Vs Pin Point Mode & Low Volume Vs High On Sovereign. Which Of Any Of These Settings Is Deeper?

    First, I had done a PP Vs Disc video a few days ago but never posted a link for it. Some people did find that one judging by the views of it on Youtube, but if you saw it it's NOT the same video I'm posting here. I deleted that one because I wasn't happy with a few things, such as the fact that...

    Another Dry Sand Beach Hunt Today At A Mineralized Beach. Two Things I Noticed...

    Even using the 12x10 today, which is known for handling the worst of grounds at higher sensitivity settings, I had to ride sensitivity at about 3PM. A rarity for this coil at probably 98% of my land sites to ever have to ride this low, despite how bad the minerals can be at some of my hunting...

    Let's See If This Fixes It...Video- 13" Ultimate, SEF 12x10, 10" Tornado, & Sun Ray S-5...All Head To Head On An Air Tests With Ruler In Foreground Of

    Did the testing/filming earlier today. Spent a good part of the last few hours editing the stupid thing. Had to cut out a bunch of testing with each coil, as I made numerous re-attempts on video and then watched all that to make sure the measurements were repetitive. What you see in this...

    13" Ultimate and SEF 12x10 Head To Head Gridding Same Marked Off Section Of Beach. :detecting:

    ...And the results will probably have to wait until tomorrow because I'm pretty beat. :sadwalk: A little lead up though...I marked off about a 60 yard by 20 yard area with lines in the sand so there was no mistake, and I dragged my scoop so both coils would be gridding the exact same "rows"...

    Great Video Showing MXT Pro & SEF Coil Seeing Coin Under Mineralized Brick Appearantly Much Better Than 6x10 Coil

    And note how he remarks that the 6x10 is known for handling mineralization well yet appears to not see the coin as well under the red brick. Yea, this is only an air test, but it makes the possibilites interesting to think about anyway as to the potential here that might exist under normal...

    Air tests? pin pointers

    Exactly, back in the day when they came out the Whites was as good as any for the most part. Everything has been pretty much a wash until the Pro Pointer came along, although the pocket pistol probe was/is said to be good as well as that Depth Master or whatever it's called that came with a set...

    Pics Of Yesterday's Finds With GT Water Hunting- 2 Rings, 1 Earing, 1 Junk Watch

    The silver ring is marked sterling and has a hallmark. The black stone on top had some swirls in it (maybe green or gray or something). Anybody know what kind of stone that might be? The "gold" ring really had my heart going when I saw it in the scoop but it looks to be plated. What does SKL...

    Today's Water Hunt. Some Bling!

    Headed off to do a mid day water hunt with a friend who has an Excal. First, the back extension I'm using at 23" long doesn't give me much confidence to go much past my belly button. Too much paying attention that I'm not lifting the coil and dipping the control box too low. I could probably go...

    Great Video Showing SEF Seeing A Coin Under A Mineralized Brick Better Than Factory Coil

    This video isn't of the SEF being used on a Sovereign or Excal so you can't really translate this to mean it'll do this much better versus your factory coil, but it's still interesting to consider the possibilites of what the SEFs are capable of, because the SEFs also have a reputation on the...

    Got PMed About Larger Coil Options For The Beach Like The WOT, So Here's Some Quotes From Others Comparing A Few On The Sov/Excal...

    I did some searching to see if I could dig up posts from people remarking about the WOT in comparison to the 15x12 or other coils to get the guy some info, and figured rather than just sending it back in a PM it would be helpful posted in the forum for others exploring their options. It's hard...

    Water Hunting Yesterday. More Signals That Sound Scratchy Or Sick One Way & Null The Other. & A Nail In Scoop With Target

    Took my water rig out again yesterday with the control box mounted at head height on a back shaft extension, which is working flawlessly so far, although I still haven't waded real deep yet with it so see how deep I feel comfortable going with it. I was hunting the same mineralized beach that I...

    Anybody Tweak The Internal Tone POT On Your Sovereign Higher Or Lower & How Do You Like It?

    I remember a while back there was a bit of a buzz about the "Dixie" mod where the internal tone adjustment POT was tweaked for a higher (or some lower) pitch. Some said they seemed to be able to hear say silver at depth a tad better with a higher pitch adjustment of the POT. My ears had been...
