    MGC coils

    Yes, the MGC 5X8 DD, and it worked great. I only had a brief hunt in a grassy picnic area with a lot of modern trash. Worked better than a Sharpshooter and Fisher 5X9.5ish coils I compared it with, and Target ID's locked-on better as well. A really solid coil, and I have used mine less than...

    Delta 4000 and Fisher F70 F75

    The F75 and F70 & Tek. Patriot share coils and work at 13 kHz. The Delta and other Greek series models operate at a much lower frequency and while a coil plug fits, the shouldn't work properly on those models. Some coils for the Delta family can work on the 19 kHz inits, but some of them...

    F75 Stat vs CL mode

    RonK, I have never enjoyed the F-75+ 'Static' All Metal mode. I di some contract searches or larger lost / hidden items, and also take a good look in potential sites when hunting on my own, and most of the time I use the Threshold-based All Metal mode, or I like the B-P Discriminate mode...

    Vintage Coin Hunter

    'Thom', that sounds like a good deal, except for the cost of shipping. If it was a local hand-to-hand deal that would be great. Monte

    Vintage Coin Hunter

    Well, that would be the dual-coil BFO and, to be honest, in that past 30 years I have only come across one out of many that worked properly. I have a very nice condition unit that does work well, and none I have encountered and checked out at private party's worked as well. Some didn't work...

    F75 stock coil vs 9.5x5.5 dd

    The solid 5X9½ DD I keep on my F-19 Ltd. and it works well. That was the 'standard' coil on that model which I prefer to the 11" BiAxial that is close to 7X11. I have owned a couple F-75's and several Teknetics T2's that had the 11" Bi-Axial 'standard' and I didn't like it as well as the...

    Vintage Coin Hunter

    Which 'vintage' Coin Hunter model did you buy? A Grey or Green housing? A BFO or TR-Disc. or VLF/TR-Disc.? It gets tricky trying to buy a ;vintage' detector, especially off e-bay or similar outlet. I see so many through the past decade or two that are being sold with a wrong search coil and...

    Eruotek pro is a fine machine!!

    My home-built detectors, 3/'65 to 6/'68, were all 8" by the instructions. Late June of '68 I went to factory-produced detectors and my first had 6" coils. I favored them and other small coils to this day. I like the physical design of the G2+ and thought about getting that or the Time Ranger...

    Eruotek pro is a fine machine!!

    I had a couple if them. First one had a GB issue so I sent it in. A new replacement worked fine and I kept the FTP 5" coil mounted full-time. I favor small coils or sometimes a mid-size coil, had an extra 5" DD on-hand and almost got a Euro-Tek Pro but snagged a great deal on a Fisher F-19...

    Troy metal detectors .

    Note that one of my detectors is a Silver Sabre µMAX which is what the Shadow X2 was with mainly just a change to incorporate the Coin Check feature. Personally, I prefer the Threshold control of the microMAX. Maybe you ought to consider getting one of them? Monte

    Troy metal detectors .

    The best thing about the Shadow X2 was tat it was essentially a slightly modified Silver Sabre µMAX and we can't forget the thin-profile Super 7 Inch Concentric coil. I liked the change to the all-black housing and rod as used on many foreign Tesoro's, but mainly the Super 7" coil which I used...

    Garrett pinpointer question

    Glad to hear you were quickly taken care of. I started with an original black Garrett pinpointer that worked okay but was only used a lot for one year. I moved on, but with the new Z-Lynk design and pairing with the MS-3 Headphones, I have c been very pleased and rely on the orange Z-Linked...

    New F-75 Question

    Bo, It is obvious that the first thing you ought to do is sit down with the Owner Manual, a note pad and pen or pencil and read the manual, in its entirety, from cover to cover. Take notes of things you might not understand to go back to later and learn the answer. When completed, do it all...

    Internal GB Pot on Silver Sabre µMAX

    Maybe not, but the GB trimmer is the only trimmer in the Silver Sabre microMAX so there's no confusion. Monte

    Garrett pinpointer question

    I use five of them and have had no problems with any of them. Monte

    SMF

    I have: 2 favorite Tesoro's at 10 kHz each. 1 Fisher F-75+ at 13 kHz. 1 Garrett Apex which is SMF but I like to use 10 kHz and 15 kHz. 1 Makro Racer at 14 kHz. 1 Makro Racer 2 at 14 kHz. 1 Minelab Equinox 800 that is SMF but also offers 10 kHz and 15 kHz. And to complement them a Bounty...

    Tesoro DD Coils and Crown Bottle Caps(Beer)

    I use a Silver Sabre microMAX and Bandido II microMAX, each with a 6" Concentric coil. I like to find Nickels, and my Tesoro's find over 80% of all my gold and silver rings and jewrly from my urban hunting. These models features the ED-120 range of acceptance and the Vaquero's were classed as...

    Tesoro DD Coils and Crown Bottle Caps(Beer)

    Well, you left a lot out, such as: ** Which Tesoro model are you referring to? ** What are you looking for to use "full" or "MAX" Discrimination? My quick answer to the question is possibly, but I will add that you can lose, or not detect, a lot of good non-ferrous targets. Also, with some...

    GTI 2500

    I got an early, virtually prototype Apex. Followed up getting a couple more and did the upgrade via internet on all three units. For a mid-priced detector, the Apex has been outstanding for in a wide range of Coin Hunting environments. For Relic Hunting it has also performed well in low to...

    Changing Horses - need opinion

    Bocash3: I didn't get a good understanding of what detecting you want to do overall. Relic Hunt? Urban Coin Hunting? Or only Electronic Prospecting? Yes, the XLT has a lot of adjustments, but you can easily mess up performance by over-adjusting several of them. I got my first XLT in June...
