    Tips needed for this weeks club hunt

    For many people I help at the club I am a member of and for me too it all depends on the trash levels. I would start with Jewelry mode first and see how it goes. If you are overwhelmed with too many trashy signals in the nickel/foil ranges you can always switch to Coin mode. Gold rings can be...

    Tips needed for this weeks club hunt

    After being a teacher for over 30 years, I can tell you that some teachers (and students!!!!) can lose all of their belongings from the school door to their car. Checking sidewalk edges out to about three feet from the concrete edge, especially the downhill side is a great place to find trash...

    Stirring the pot.. 600 or 800..!!

    Get the Avantree Audition Pro Headphones and a pair of the Aukey B80 earbuds. You can get both for less than the Minelab ML80s if you shop carefully. If you did the most recent update your 600 you should have 4 single frequencies and multi. Multi on the 600 and 800 is exactly the same which...

    Truthfully, the difference in most detectors

    That’s for sure. Thanks.

    IMPORTANT NEWS!

    What is an "Equinox follower"? I hope that Nokta Makro's simultaneous multi frequency detector will strongly compete with the Minelab Equinox and Vanquish. I also hope Garret will really improve their simultaneous multi frequency technology that unfortunately doesn't seem to be much of an...

    Truthfully, the difference in most detectors

    I like David a lot (the guy who made the video above). However, I disagree with his commentary. By the numbers that were showing up on the Equinox, 8, 9, 10, and some 13s and 14s, the Equinox identified that target as a deep non-ferrous low to mid conductor. If that had been a dime the tones and...

    Nox-600 or Nox-800..? What's Better..??

    The two Gold modes have several features that make them great for gold prospecting like VCO proportional single tone audio, the ability to internally adjust for high mineralization and hot rocks beyond just ground balancing because of the use of simultaneous multi frequencies and then they has...

    New 600 owner. First Minelab.

    Others may disagree with these statements which is fine. --- I would leave your 600 in multi frequency for general detecting. You will not get any advantage by changing to a single frequency except for investigating a target or for hunting in high EMI. Minelab optimized the 600 for multi...

    IMPORTANT NEWS!

    Glad to hear that your company is concerned about the physical health of the citizens of this world in more ways than metal detecting. If your thermometer works better and lasts longer than some of the ones my school system supplied to me and the other coaches in our athletic department that...

    Nokta Simplex review...

    Thanks John for making this video. I could not agree more on the Simplex. Great features, great performance and a really nice overall detector that should cost hundreds of dollars more. Unlike you, I tested mine in highly mineralized soil and it performed extremely well for a single frequency...

    Deus Lite firmware version

    When I turn my WS4 on right after startup I see 5 and then 21 for version 5.21. I don’t know if this works for earlier versions.

    Ground Balancing, playing nice in the sandbox , beeping rocks and 101 other questions ... (not really)

    jim tn and Monte are two people whose posts I always read and learn from. Ronstar as usual for him, had a great idea. So Kelley, these are some of this years finds and are photos of two bags of pull tabs (I keep them like trophies since each one could have been gold, a nickel or a bullet and...

    I guess I just have a soft spot for Tesoro and always will

    I still have my Cibola and enjoy using it a lot for lighter weight, go have some fun detecting. I started out with Tesoro detectors......... Would I sell my Equinox instead of my Cibola if I was desperate for money...NO. Love using both and a few others too.

    Need help with wireless headphones for my Nox 600

    Bluetooth version 4 to version 5 and ATPX low latency. Avantree for one makes the Audition Pro. They are very comfortable and not too expensive. The sound to my ears is much less muffled and bass heavy than the Minelab/Miccus ML80s

    Ground Balancing, playing nice in the sandbox , beeping rocks and 101 other questions ... (not really)

    metal detecting 24 uses a camera that he can put in a hole to see what the target might be. Where he is detecting in Europe there are still lots of unexploded grenades, artillery shells and bombs dropped from aircraft. He is smart to use that small video camera so he won't disturb any live...

    Ground Balancing, playing nice in the sandbox , beeping rocks and 101 other questions ... (not really)

    More on number 8.......Garrett Z-Lynk and Quest Wire Free are specially made for metal detectors. Trond ATPX Low Latency Bluetooth (you need ATPX low latency so there will be very little lag between the transmitter and receiver, otherwise if you pinpoint a target with your detector, it could be...

    Ground Balancing, playing nice in the sandbox , beeping rocks and 101 other questions ... (not really)

    Thanks for joining this forum. You asked some excellent questions 1. The F22 does not need to be ground balanced. It comes with a factory preset ground balance setting that will work well in most soil conditions. 2. Some types of soil can have lots of small iron particles from decomposing rock...

    Will the equinox wirelessmodule work on the Vanquish 540

    The Vanquish only has a built in Bluetooth transmitter that will work with some Bluetooth headphones and earbuds. The Equinox WM08 receiver only works with the Equinox built in “Wi-Stream” transmitter which is not a Bluetooth system. The Equinox does have exactly the same Bluetooth transmitter...

    Vanquish 540, Simple ,and Apex depth shootout! Who is King??

    I really like the Equinox, Vanquish and Simplex detectors. I look forward to trying out Nokta Makro's simultaneous multi frequency version of the Simplex as soon as it becomes available. I have only tried the Apex in the field for a short time on a group hunt. It was okay as an SMF detector but...

    NOKTA SIMPLEX Vs MINELAB VANQUISH

    Vanquish 540 vs Simplex+ is a tough one. Like someone said earlier, it all depends on what types of detecting you do. They are both fantastic budget detectors. If you need a budget friendly detector with threshold based all metal mode and want to submerge your entire detector, get good depth...
