    "AXIOM"...Garrett's New Release

    If you don't mind sharing the popcorn I'll take a few and reflect on "Electronic Prospecting" as we called in by the latter '70s and early '80s. An era when Garrett Electronics was about the major focus point for detectors, especially at the time in Australia the USA and interest starting in...

    TRUE ... However they can lose anything anywhere which means efficient site coverage is important. If I find the trash clusters I will happily take my time and work them. But it is the random, incidental losses that could be anywhere I am after. Monte

    Search coil Electro-Magnetic Fields; Coverage-at-Depth; Overlapping; Effective Coverage. Perhaps one of the most misunderstood and errantly described is the generated EMF and the shape of the responsive portion of that field as the coil-to-target distance increases (aka Depth). A Concentric...

    SMF

    Currently I own about 9 detectors, give or take one or two. Two are SMF, an Apex and an EQ-800. At times I find they handle a site better in a selected Single-Frequency. My others are Singles, and since there is no such thing as a 'perfect' detector I determined long ago that having more than...

    SMF

    Two might NOT be better if they are the wrong two. Yes, sometimes we might note a slight improvement with some SMF's in certain conditions but that also depends on the Single-Frequency detector and coil we compare it with. All too often since I started using a multi-frequency detector back in...

    Garrett pinpointer ugh!!

    Cacti, I have a Garrett AT Propointer w/Z-Lynk technology paired with a set of MS-3's and my Apex. I also have a set of Garrett MS-3 Headphones and AT Propointer paired with with my F-75+, and a Headphone and ProPointer paired with an F-19, Bandido II microMAX and a Silver Sabre microMAX and I...

    Coils.

    I take it you are referring to the 10" elliptical DD and not the Concentric. I have the6X10 DD on my F-19 Ltd. and use similar-size mid-size coils on my Nokta Relic, Makro Racer and Racer 2, Garrett Apex, and Fisher F-75+ and others. All too often people are mislead things a DD elliptical...

    New Garrett Release Coming Very Soon

    I started using tosoroes with the Inca in July of '83. The Silver Sabre microMAX and Bandido II microMAX were released in Oct. of '97. I was a Dealer and ordered some in and I have constantly owned one or two of each ever since. I used to use the Troy Super 7" until Tesoro got their 6" out...

    New Garrett Release Coming Very Soon

    I have a good Detectot Team I "mesh with" to include a Fisher F-75+ and F-19 Ltd., Garrett Apex, Nokta / Makro FORS Relic and Racer 2, Tesoro Bandido Ii microMAX and Silver Sabre microMAX, and I now own a Minelab Equinox 800. I have two friends who understand their's well and I will use their...

    New Garrett Release Coming Very Soon

    I disagree. I talk about the Apex often and it is exactly what the wanted it to be, an excellent MID-PRICED Detector with SMF and it handles salt water very well. Has the four selectable Single Frequencies that also work well, and it is in an excellent land-based package and light weight. It...

    Where's Fisher ?

    I have a feeling ... I have been thinking and guessing and hoping, for a while now, what might be happening with FTP and I am not certain what might happen with the Teknetics line, but I have a feeling we are going to see something new in the way of Fisher products and Bounty Hunter products...

    F44-Concentric or DD?

    mdc002, although I did give a response earlier, let me add this with regard to "Coin Shooting". I liked the F44 for Coin Hunting. I did my best all-around hunting with the 7" Concentric coil. I didn't and do not care for the tear-drop or egg-shaped standard coil. I bought one with the 11"...

    F44-Concentric or DD?

    mdc002, when coils get too large they lose performance on smaller-size targets. Large coils were mainly designed for larger-size objects. On the F44 I had good performance with the 5" DD coil but mainly used the 7" Concentric I kept mounted full time. I do have a brand new 4" Concentric coil...

    F44-Concentric or DD?

    Finding deeper metal? What kind of metal and how deep do you think you need to go? Generally, to get better or deeper performance you should consider the detector first, as well as the serekh mode and settings, then consider a search coil. Also, if coils are of a similar size and shape, the...

    So, in the years ahead

    It isn't hat coins aren't being used and lost, they are but as you related folks are carrying less than we used to. A bigger problem is that a lot of schools and their playgrounds are fence3d off in many locations, and propel, as a whole, are not using public parks as often. Gosh, I remember...

    ACE 400 settings for finding gas pipe?

    No, I do not think it is a good place to start learning. You are new to the metal detecting hobby and have an 'OK' entry-level detector. There are a lot of basics to learn in order to know your detector and its strengths and limitations. Trying to hit a 20 year old construction site with a lot...

    Yes., Carl might pop in here and he is THE one I believe will prove folks with the best correct answer. Monte

    bought one of the Detech Arrow coils for my F75 LTD.

    Mike, I hope you can get out with that coil and use it enough to give us a good report of both goods and bads about it. I am looking forward to it.

    Oldy but goody

    I have had the Scorpion Gold Stinger because it reminded me of my GroundHog but with motion-based Disc. mode as we as TR-Disc. However I was not located close to a good Elecrronic Prospecting area and mainly did old ghost towns and former dance hall type places or urban Coin Hunting. I use DD...
