    USPS shipping changes

    If the eyeball a box to maybe be bigger or 'measurable', then they grab the tape and measure L and W and H to get their calculations. One of the frustrations when I was a Dealer, and since then when I buy/sell/trade my own stuff, is the higher cost for shipping anything over a Yo-Yo box-size...

    doesn't have to be said but I'll say it anyway

    Glad to hear all went well. I have never had a repair/service issue with FTP. Enjoy your unit when you get back out hunting. Monte

    Hunt

    Congratulations on the rewarding hunt.👍 I really enjoy the Fisher 3.5X6.5 Concentric on my F75+ and hope to get in on a renovation (small) project with it today. Haven't hit on any silver jewelry for a month or two so your post is an inspiration. Monte

    Short Apex humt, small coil, but it's not the right one.

    John, try to flex your influence because we know there are a lot of users who would love to have a small concentric for their Apex. !!!!!!

    Short Apex humt, small coil, but it's not the right one.

    "Ronstar" ... I like a good-working mid-size coil such as the 5X9.5 Sharpshooter on your F75, the 5X8 MGC on my F75+, and the 5X8 Ripper on my Apex. All of them can provide reasonably 'correct' VDI readouts in a cleaner environment. But if a masking metal object is nearby the bigger size can...

    Is Metal Detecting on the Decline?

    Absolutely, especially here in the USA, and it has been for almost forty years. The hobby got off to a good start with growing interest in the mid-sixties, and by the very early '70s it became more and more visible. As we went through the '70s and into the early '80s there were a lot of...

    Hunt

    When working in very dense Iron Nails, the 5" DD handles them a bit better than the 3.5X6.5 Concentric, but I enjoy the small elliptical more for modern-litter sites, and it does get slightly improved depth in less trashy places. That coil and my F75+ are mainly used for urban Coin Hunying...

    Boss says something has to go ....

    Willee, kind of funny and I've seen that photo before, just can't recall who's it was. HOWEVER!!!I a m getting ready to move from Clyde Texas to Utah, hopefully next week, and I need to thin out a Lot of detectors. A few in choice condition that would leg you stary your own collection NOW...

    Short Apex humt, small coil, but it's not the right one.

    I worked in a little time yesterday to grab my Apex and hunt a small dirt strip that was exposed, and the best tool for such a thing would be a good small coil.. This Apex has the 5" DD NEL sharp coil, and it works ... but not as well as I would like it to. The 'right' small coil, and the one...

    Loss Of Depth In Fertilized Farm Fields ?

    Every detector I have and use is set to turn on at 95% to 100% Sensitivity setting. I only reduce it when the EMI requires it. Over 5 1/2 decades of very avid detecting in plowed fields, well manicured yards and parks and schools that are also treated, and I can not think of a time when...

    Gold bug Pro discrimination switch broke

    Contact FTP. Let them know of the problem and get a service number. Send it to them and you'll likely get it back faster than you think. And they just might spot something to address and then you will be good-to-go! Monte

    Hunt

    John71, Congrstulations, and 'thank you' for answering the coil question I was about to ask with regatd to "small coil". I have both Fisher "small coils" on-hand. I keep the 3.5X6.5 Concentric mounted on my F75+ all the time for a quick grab-and-go set up mainly for Coin Hunting typical sites...

    My finds so far with the Legend

    Congrats to the 'Team': The Legend, the F75, and Team Captain... You! It took all of you to have some successful hunt-time. A few questions: 1.. What was the total coin 'depth range', Shallowest to Deepest? 2.. What coils used on each detector? 3.. What modes / settings used on each...

    question on the f-44 and replacing the tactile touchpad..

    Detector designs,, failures, and factory service: 57 years of owning and using hundreds of detectors of most brands from USA as well as Minelab and XP and one or two others. The more we are supposed to 'progress' it seems I have encountered more glitches or failures with both circuitry design...

    Nokta Makro Premium Hand Digger Review

    I use Kickindirt for a lot of my detector purchases and he sent me one to check--it-out. I did, and it has a 'right-size' grip that is very comfortable. At the time I was Coin Hunting an older emote section of an overgrown park and needed to cut a lot of tangly roots. Easy with the well...

    Thanks to Garrett Metal Detectors, I'm also enjoying my others.

    Short answer - - - - Excellent! Just need to get one more Garrett WTx/WRx wireless outfit to finish off all the models I have for this set-up. Monte

    Help please Nel Tornado won't work on Simplex

    N/M Simplex + and optional coils. Over 5 decades of avid detecting and favoring smaller-size coils followed by mid-size coils Very seldom do I use a standard or larger-size search coil. I really am impressed with the Simplex + design and performance. The stock 11" round DD works well in...

    Today with the F75

    RonStar & david bull: Just to add a little to the coversation. My thoughts on Coin Hunting and Relic Hunting are that it is mainly the location hunted and the anticipate trash for those sites. For me, Coin Hunting is associated with typical urban locations such as parks, schools and yards...

    Today with the F75

    RonStar. Which Process are you using and which coil? I always make sure to shut down in dE or Default process so I start up ready-to-go in that Process which I use the most. Also in 3H Tone the most with Disc. at '7' since I also like hearing some of the iron. Pulled a couple of small rivits...
