    What Do Thin (& Thicker) Gold Chains Sound Like On The GT & Excal?

    That's one thing I never tried since I don't have a gold chain handy. I know Minelabs aren't sensitive to fine gold (but they will hit the thinnest of gold rings super deep because of the nature of the ring being a complete loop) so I'm curious what they sound like on the Excal or GT? I'm...

    Initial Impressions Of 13" Ultimate, Size Comparison Pics With 10" Tornado & 12x10, & Actual Weight On Scale. Then In Day Or Two First Field Report. :

    Got the Detech 13" Ultimate in the mail today that a forum member so generously offered me to try out since he can't get around to using it for several weeks yet. Took some pics of it with the stock 10" Tornado and SEF 12x10 for size comparison, overlaying them with each other so you can get a...

    Water Hunting Excursion At Daylight...

    Hooked up with 3 other friends for a water hunting this morning. Chest/shoulder mounted the GT in the black Minelab bag. A good bit of wave action today so I only risked going up to just below my waste. When it's flatter I'll get a bit above my belly button. My water rig is the stock shaft and...

    Found Out...There Is A 5 And A 6" Excelerator Being Made For FBS Machines. Didn't They Make A 6" For BBS Too Up Until A Couple Years Ago?

    Could have swore I remember Kellyco selling a 6" BBS version of the Excelerator coil up until about a year or two ago. Just wondering if anybody else remembers that? I need to surf the web and see if Detech still makes/did make that coil for the BBS machines. Just curious because that's always...

    A Guy's Home Video Of A SLEW Of Gold Found Over A Series Of Hunts With A GT Beach/Water Hunting! :drool: Yea, This Video Of His Hoard Will Get You Mot

    I've been digging through youtube looking for any good Sovereign videos to post. Any that are worth mentioning I'm compiling into into a bunch of links with short descriptions of them to post in a thread. Not in a sticky, just in a thread. One of the things that is taking me days of off and on...

    Pinpointer Compatibility

    There is a 2 page thread or so on the first or second page of the main forum where some videos were posted comparing the Pro Pointer and the new Minelab. Check out I think the second to last video as they went head to head in an actual hunt and the results were interesting to say the least. As...

    My Summary Of The 15x12, 12x10, and 10" Tornado In Comparison To Each Other

    This is my compiled comparison of these coils for me on land/in the water. I've touched on each issue here and there, but never just laid everything I felt about these three coils out in one summary. So here it is for what it's worth to people trying to decide on the 15x12 versus the 12x10, and...

    It Pays To Look Down When Walking In And Out Of Stores...

    Recently that's paid off twice for me. Well, not in any monetary gain, but in the satisfaction of finding something somebody lost and giving it back to them. About a week ago I headed up to the local library and found a driver's license in the parking lot and located the owner inside. Today I...

    Critterhunter, my persosnal preference is a white colored coil.

    Monte, it also depends on the type of coil. Winding alignment is far more critical on concentrics than it is DD coils. That said, if the coil windings are locked in solid epoxy there is virtually no risk of them getting too far out of alignment due to temperture changes so that it would even be...

    Minelab's Site Has A Odd Picture Of A Brown Blanket For A Split Second When First Going There By Clicking On Their Banner. What's Up With That?

    I noticed this for the last week or so. If you click on their banner in the main listing of forums on Findmall Minelab's site Minelab's site will show a picture of a brown blanket for a second or so and then goes onto it's normal page. Anybody notice that?

    Some Of My Newbie Tips On Settings, VDI, & So On...

    I'll add a few more things about using the Sovereign for a newbie. A few tips to help you get up to speed quicker. A few of the basic settings to use (more detail later in this post), like noise band 2 to match the coin charts in the meter sticky, as well as to use Iron Mask ON for best ability...

    A Little Perspective On Depth In Various Soils...& What's Your Deepest Coin Using What Coil?

    I dug this out of the Explorer Classroom forum and it's an excellent read to illustrate how soil conditions can greatly alter the depth reports of our Minelabs from one state to another. The Sovereign is right up there in terms of depth by my expereince, but this can largely depend on your soil...

    OK, This Guy Who PMed Me Needs Some Convincing From You Guys That Slow Is The Key To Depth On The Sovereign, Because That's What He Wants In A Machine

    I told him I still go back and fourth on the issue, but that most of the old time Sovereign users say slow is the key to maximum depth. He wants a machine that he can work slow for max depth and sniffing between targets, so I told him that I'd ask you guys in this forum who are very pro-slow on...

    Few Points Of Very Minor Concern To Another Post. Don't Read This If You Didn't Read Other Where I Posted A Link To Here. Didn't Want To Muck Up An Ex

    I thought I warned you? :biggrin: If you didn't read the other thread then don't bother with this one, as it's only some minor points of very minor concern that won't even make sense unless you read the other first. I just didn't want to muck up his thread with a long/boring post with obscurely...

    A Story I Posted In Another Forum About A Great Lead On A Possible Cache & What I Saw That Made My Heart Stop...

    Posted this elsewhere but figured somebody might find it interesting to read here as it's a good story... One time I got a good lead on a possible cache. A man owned a home who was known to have money. There was an empty lot right next door that he owned at the time and he stayed in a shed on...

    Anybody Get Their Back Ordered 12x10 From Kellyco Yet Or The Newly Arrived Ultimate, & Where To Find Out For Sure If They Have A Sovereign Version Of

    I know some of you have PMed me and said you've been waiting for your back ordered 12x10 for a while, so I'm wondering if you got one yet or if anybody has got the new Ultimate yet that just arrived at Kellyco? Somebody was PMing me about the 12x10 coil at Kellyco again, so even though this is...

    Pinpointer Compatibility

    I just read somewhere where the Minelab is falsing on red dirt with any kind of pressure. Not sure if that's just a red dirt thing or if it's a pressure thing, but I suspect unless that wand on it is filled with epoxy it's going to false with pressure just like the Garrett. I don't see what the...

    A Little Story About What You Always Wondered You'd Find If You Scraped Off About 6" Of Topsoil At A Site...

    I've dreamed about scraping off say about the first 6" of soil at some of my sites that I know have the potential for some super deep coins out of the range of even the best of machines like the GT. I'm confident I can get perhaps 9 to 12" in wet conditons at some of my sites. I can get 9 easily...
