    In dire need for some answers

    To your initial question, I updated my original 2.68 Simplex + to 2.77 and preferred the additional Park program, which was the 'new' Park 1. The original Park program became Park 2, and the Park 1 program had better break-points as well as (for me) in-the-field -performance. I adjusted my...

    Mojave

    I didn't see that, but I am not surprised. I have seen so many detectors sell for more that they ought to, and while I like the Mojave and wouldn't mind finding an as-new specimen, I'd never pay that much for one. I've owned both the Mojave and the Vaquero, and personally, I prefer the Mojave...

    F75 All metal signal

    I have enjoyed a few (3) F-75's, the last one being the F-75+. Yes, the All Metal modes provide us with a very good 'modulated' audio and that means the volume or loudness will be weaker as the coil-to-target distance increases. The Discriminate mode, depending upon your settings, can provide...

    Advice needed for 10 yo boy detecting.

    I always encourage anyone, at any age, to get into this great outdoor sport, and have a loaner-unit on-hand for family and friends, plus got an "entry-level" detector to two of my grandkids for Christmas two years ago at ages 8 and 12. I know, or have known, quite a few adults who spent good...

    LEGEND V.1.10 UPDATE BETA TEST SOFTWARE

    Dbowling, sounds great! I haven't used a detector that has a good BCR other than my XLT. It would be nice if they could match that audio performance, but if this new function works that well, a lot of consumers will be happy. Monte

    LEGEND V.1.10 UPDATE BETA TEST SOFTWARE

    I watched Dilek's Facebook announcement and now read it here. Have to admit no other detector manufacturer stays on top of informing the consumers, or doing all they can to improve an already impressive detector at an unbelievable price. I have had quite a year with finishing my house then...

    I just bought a new f19

    No argument there. Several detectors I currently own are a "best detector for the money" in their category and for general-purpose use. My F-19 Ltd., my Nokta FORS Relic, my Makro Racer, and my Tesoro Silver Sabre µMAX and Bandido II µMAX. The F-19 td. is always at-the-ready and I only need a...

    I just bought a new f19

    Well, to me, the 11" BiAxial and similar looking coils from Nokta and Makro I just never cared for and do no have one in my home. I prefer the stock 5X9¾ DD that came on my F-19 Ltd. A good friend was in need of a 5" DD coil so I sold mine to him and now I need go track down a new 5 DD for the...

    Ground coverage with coil

    For the most effective coverage, of a dedicated potential area, I suggest: • Do NOT extend the rods for a long length. It's best too keep the search coil working about 12" to 18" in front of your lead toe. • Work the search coil in straight side-to-side sweeps and do not arc the coil. • Sweep...

    Nel snake for my coil choice

    Well over a half-century of avid detecting schooled me long ago that the detector-maker's coils were 'generally' the better coil to use. I used a lot of aftermarket coils during the '90s and early 2000's that were provided me on several different brands and models, but overall I was left...

    Where Are The New Fisher Models ?

    I also wish they had a dedicated spokesperson who could keep the consumers informed of what they are doing and what might be projected. I did speak with someone at FTP who did inform me of a unit they "have been working on" for some time, and he shared a model name, as currently used there...

    Nokta Impact more than the Legend?

    Everything boils down to a products cost (parts and assembly) and the marketing niche and quantity produced. The Impact IS an excellent detector with a solid build quality and I enjoyed those I had from a first prototype/test unit. Overall I only had three design issues with it so far as most...

    Where Are The New Fisher Models ?

    That's heartbreaking, Carl. I was hoping for the SMF project by early-to-mid 2023. Rats!:( Monte

    Detectors that have stood the test of time.

    Dave Johnson did a very good job in designing the original MXT, but Carl Moreland did an even better job in reengineering the MXT Pro. Personally, I feel XLT, 6000 Pro XL (renamed the XL Pro), and the MXT Pro were the three best multi-purpose detectors that came from White's. I really enjoyed...

    Where Are The New Fisher Models ?

    Personally, I think we will all be in foir a surprise come early 2023. I have enjoyed some favored Fisher Detectors through the years and keep one in my current detector team. I do have an SMF but most of my units are Single Frequency, operating from 10 kHz to 19 kHz. They do the job and...

    F75+ from Amazon

    Buy a good quality, reputable-name detector from a good Authorized Dealer rather than some of the bulk mail-order / internet-order outfits. You'll get what you expect for the dollar. Monte

    Apex coil compatibility

    Welcome back into this great sport. Sorry you missed out a few years. Also, welcome to the Garrett Apex, which was wrongly lumped with the Ace series by name but isn't an Ace at all. The Apex is a very capable detector and a lot for the dollar! Personally, I favored their 'Ripper' which is...

    Losing one productive site after another

    Complete agreement on Faster Vs Deeper. Dense modern trash around picnic areas and similar high-use urban locations, as well as the very Iron-contaminated ghost towns, homesteads and other out-of-the-way locations definitely call for a smaller-size coil and a detector with a Quick-Response and...

    Winter

    Rick, I understand the season, and Jim, I envy your opportunities. It is snow covered here. About 4" where I live but 6" to 9" for friends up on "the bench" . We got down to 8° night before last, 11° this morning, warmed to 28° today, but it has dropped to 15° at 9:15 this evening and headed...

    Great day with the tesoro

    Congratulations on getting out, making some good finds, and using a Tesoro. A favorite brand but not a favorite model for me, but hey ... they work! Monte
