    DD vs. Concentric in the heat?

    I remember reading in the past that a DD/Widescan coil cannot handle being in high temperatures as well as a concentric. Assuming this is true, can Uncle Willy, John-Edmonton or any of the other knowledgeable people here elaborate on why?

    DD/concentric temperature tolerances

    Maybe a new :tesoro: detector soon?

    In January I got a detector back I had sent in to Tesoro for repair. Tesoro did the repair correctly and didn't charge me, they never do. As always, great customer service from Tesoro. Along with the detector, the usual repair tag and a Tesoro catalog, I got some extra stuff from the legendary...

    Carry bag suggestions?

    Does anybody use an extra long gun style bag for their detector? The problem I have is my F75 measures almost 55" from top to bottom the way I adjust it for my height, so I need a bag that's at least 57" to comfortably fit. And I'm looking for one that's deep all the way across, so the coil...

    Very impressive!:thumbup:

    When Labrador Bob first suggested this forum I thought it could be an OK idea as a clearinghouse for readily available maps all in one easy to find location. After a very short time perusing this forum I've realized that I failed to take into account the fact that many of these "readily...

    Repair Quality

    If anyone has dealt with a company that gave poor or slow repair service, I'd suggest dropping their detectors like a rock. There's too many manufacturer's out there that work hard to earn our business. First Texas did a wonderful job repairing my F5. It was an unusual problem, Dave Johnson...

    Thomas Terry's Treasure Atlas

    I know these have been out for quite a while, but I've got the one for my state and it's really fun and interesting to read. That man must have been really devoted to dig up all these treasure leads. Each of the 10 volumes has about 5,000 treasure leads/stories! Has anybody here ever...

    Good job, Bill!

    Although I generally deplore censorship and hate to see it when posts get deleted, occasionally it is called for. And bundy123 deserved to be given the boot. When someone joins just to scream childish rants about a detector and call others on the forum idiots, action is indeed warranted...

    Is the LTD really as good as Buckeye Brad says?

    If you've read the gushing reports on the LTD from Buckeye Brad, Nasa Tom and others, you're probably wondering can the LTD really be that good? My opinion is oh yes, it sure as heck is! I've been wanting a F75 long before the LTD was released and following the posts for some time. I finally...

    It's not a kitchen anymore, it's a dirt fisher's labratory!:rofl:

    Sorry honey, it's not just "your kitchen" anymore. :argue: I've had good luck cleaning coppers using the boiling hydrogen peroxide method. It usually cleans them up nice but takes away lustre or shine. To get that back I give them a good soaking in boiled linseed oil and then pat them dry with...

    Used Tejon cheap!

    With First Texas coming out with the new top-of-the-line F75 LTD and T2 LTD units, a lot of dirt fishers buying them are saying what detector(s) can I unload to defray the 4 figure cost. Going prices on good used detectors are coming down. Also the onset of winter contributes to lower...

    Wheat to silver ratio - Final tally :detecting:

    Several months ago I went through a period where I was finding a lot of wheat pennies but no silver. It seemed to me that my ratio was much higher than Michael Chaplan's 6-1 ratio that he suggested was the average in his excellent book, the Urban Treasure Hunter. When I actually counted my...
