    Has anyone used the Dr. Otek machine?

    Yes, and there are a few other videos I have watched about the Quest X5. Thinking ahead for next spring for two units for grandkids, mainly for freshwater beach hunting. If they take to it, then I can move them up to a better detector as they get more involved in detecting. Monte

    Has anyone used the Dr. Otek machine?

    I have never used one, but I have heard from a few people, foreign from the USA, who have use the Quest 10, 20, 30, 40 and Pro models and have all told me that, for the money, the detector was well worth it. Mainly for kids, as a loaner, or they have one in their rig for traveling about. Not...

    Has anyone used the Dr. Otek machine?

    It has a simplified category target category, it does have VDI numbers but they seem kind of crammed for some targets. Surprisingly, they gave it a backlibut no Ground Balance adjustment or other real useful adjustments to take on an assortment of challenging ground conditions. For the low...

    Vanquish 540 vs Nokta The Legend

    Well, that says a lot. You are not in the USA or similar country where Coin & Jewekry Hunting is common. You are in the UK or elsewhere that provides a lot of field or pasture hunting for former Roman occupation, etc. Through the years I have owned and used many Multi-Frequency models to...

    Nokta macro legend

    Also, looking at the original post, it could be that the Legend might be a backup if he really enjoys the AT Pro and not into a lot of adjustments. As for me, I compared a Legend against the Garrett Apex w/Ripper coil and I prefer the Apex. Of course that's for land hunting as I don't swim or...

    How many class ring have you ever found ?? What is the oldest ?

    I have found perhaps 12 to 14 in over 5¾ decades of detecting, but that's because I didn't Beach / Water Hunt veery much, and I also seldom worked a lot of sports fields or typical school-related sites where they might be found. A lot of Coin Hunting for almost 2 decades, but the common places...

    Vanquish 540 vs Nokta The Legend

    You are a 'New Member' here so I will clarify what you meant by 'gem hunting'? Are you referring to jewelry that has gems, such as a ring or pendant with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, etc.? And since you are new to the Forum are you also new to metal detecting? When you say 'Relics' are you...

    Nokta macro legend

    A lot of detectors 'sound' good but turn out to not be a good fit for some folks and where they hunt. I have several detectors, as I have made a point for the past fifty years, because some detectors, or detector & coil combinations, can work fine for certain applications and be a wee bit...

    Z-Lynk headphone problem

    Nope, have 4 pair of MS-3 Z-Lynk Headphones and never a problem with them, nor with the 4 AT ProPointers that are paired with them. If and hen I do have a problem like you have, I will likely contact Garrett and send them off for service. At least that's how Monte handles issues .

    A bonus to go with the clad

    If you cashed in 40 clad quarters for a $10 bill, would it still count? Of course! Yes, the $10 bill counts. And I also like SL 52's suggestion to use it for breakfast on a future detecting jaunt. Monte

    MGC coils

    I had a couple of those foreign made coils and used them for maybe six or seven months. Just a little heavier but not bad since I never extend a rod way out in front of me. I compared it and felt the MGC 5X8 DD provided equal or better depth, smoother and more consistent VDI read-outs, and...

    F75 Coil Question

    F-75 or most any other detector, no difference when it comes to coil performance. Some. Possibly, but it gets down to a coils geometry, the strength of the EMF field, and the size of the anticipated target you are searching for. You will hit a point where coil size starts to loose performance...

    1st Real Hunt with the Vista X 8" Concentric

    JCRR TX, thank you for that report on the Super-Six. It is also one of the coils I plan to get. Smaller coils have been my most-used choice since '68 for the trasy places I have usually hunted. However I have been opting for a mid-size coil, such as a 5X8, 5X9.5 and similar, for the last 5...

    Detectors that have stood the test of time.

    No way to name just two, but, of the older models, I have: Tesoro Silver Sabre microMAX and Bandido II microMAX, Inca, and a beautiful White's XLT. As for some models I really liked but no longer have, there was the Fisher F-5 and White's 6000 Pro XL renamed the XL Pro. A much better...

    for the guys who hunt large sports fields and picnic meadows with a Nox 600-800...

    VID= Video VDI = Visusl Discrimination Indicator 4 to 10 VDI's with Equinox 800's and Vanquish 540's I had were either trash, such as foil or chopped aluminum scraps, etc., .. OR .. a couple of them were thin gold rings or small gold pendants/charms. That's just how it goes based on...

    F75 special swap coils

    Change coils and use your settings, if you like them, just remember to Ground Balance. Monte

    1st Real Hunt with the Vista X 8" Concentric

    A good report, JCR TX, and am curious about the Super-Six performance as well Monte

    MGC coils

    RonK, one park moderate mineralization for where I was with GB at 82 and the other place balanced at 87. Magic 5X8 pinpointed nicely on coins at center of axis. My outfit is down to a low number and likely to drop more unless I can somehow get mended. Rats! Monte

    Rye Patch ... When to go hunt?

    Trying to plan a detecting jaunt next year to Rye Patch but curious how folks have done there and the detectors they used. Also, when is the earliest time to get in and hunt there weatherwise? And if camping there for a week, how good are the campgrounds? Any info is appreciated. Monte
