    Equinox Audio response question....

    Sube has been doing lots of testing and posting videos on the CTX forum. The target trace mode of the CTX has the ability to show a target ID for a ferrous target co-located with a non-ferrous target, even when the ferrous target is perpendicular to the center coil web. The CTX does not have...

    Amazing new detecting technique...

    Hello all, I relearn this technique every year: Taking my detector out of the trunk and using it greatly increases my finds. One of my beer buddies mentioned he had a duplex in a neighboring town, built in 1880s. He gave me permission to detect. Only second or third time I've detected this...

    First hunt of 2017, four IH, oldest 1872

    Howdy all, I had barely turned on my XS and starting swinging when I got a diggable signal. First target of the year came out a 1872 IH. Got three more IH out of the yard. As usual the ground here is kind to copper. Wish they were less circulated but.... And it would have been nice to find...

    First hunt of 2017, 30 seconds in 1872 IH

    Hello all, Finally got out today, grass is starting to grow. The ground has been thawed for quite some time around here, could have been detecting up a storm. Whoops, my bad. I asked for permission at this house a couple of years ago; about a month ago verified it had been granted. I had...

    Old Compass detector CAN see through nails...

    Hey All, I know this is a little off topic for the XS forum, but have posted here for years and the "seeing coin through the nails" topic has been discussed many times over the years. I'm also posting this on the Vintage Detector forum. My first detector was a Compass Coin Hustler II. Later...

    It's true, old compass detectors see through nails....

    Hey All, My first detector was a Compass Coin Hustler II. Later in High school I bought a Compass Coin Magnum for big bucks(for me). Long story short.... It's been sitting in storage for years, today I was tidying up and debating whether I should just toss it. I had heard of early Compass...

    How many Makro users are coming from Minelabs?

    If so how have you done in sites that you worked hard and heavy. I mainly use the Explorer XS, bought a F-75 and a CTX 3030, still mainly swing the XS. I'm convinced that there is still lots of goodies masked by iron. Watched some videos that looked impressive. Anyone have real world...

    Any Minelab FBS users try the Makro or Notka detectors?

    As most/many of you know the Minelab FBS detectors found incredible amounts of coins in previously "hunted out" sites. I'm sure there is still many more coins to be found in these sites that are still masked by iron or other trash. I started with the XS, bought a F-75 that was supposed to be...

    Saw a CTX3030 on TV last night..

    PBS Wisconsin is airing "The Detectorists". Sweet show thus far and fairly realistic. Anybody see it and recognize the other detector?

    Found Seated, Barber, and Mercury Dimes this afternoon, evening hunt failed to provide the Roosie for a Grand Slam

    Hello all, I detected a construction site this afternoon and netted three of the dime varieties needed for a Grand Slam. I haven't made a Grand Slam for years so this evening I headed out for a couple more hours of detecting. Tried some terrace strips a few blocks down from my house. After...

    Today found Seated, Barber, and Merc dime, no Roosie...

    And I've got a few hours of daylight. Haven't completed a grand slam for several years. So I should head out and only dig shallow screamers. Also a 1914 wheat with a mintmark is bubbling in H2O2, hoping it is a D. Pictures and results to follow. Chris

    First coin of 2015 was a two center, today found a 3 center.

    I was driving through town and saw some side walk construction, decided I better get out the detector. After about 10 minutes of detecting I got a hit that registered a little lower than an IH (that is Minelab XS speak) and didn't think it would amount to anything. It took me a little while to...

    Last of 2014 oddball finds....

    Seeing I just posted my first 2015 finds I figured I had better finish up the last of 2014 finds that I never seemed to find time to take a picture. Usually I post on the Minelab Explorer forum but figure everyone there checks this forum out also. Yes/no? Now that I am ancient coot and need...

    First coin of 2015 is 1869 two center...

    Hello all, The snow is almost entirely melted here in southern WI, though the ground is still frozen in spots. I got out for the first time this year yesterday, with some decent success. First coin out of the ground was a 1869 two cent piece in fairly good shape. Also found an 1856 French 5...

    First coin of 2015 1869 two center... Pics to follow...

    Better than the usual 1940's wheatie. Ground is still frozen in places, wish I had done more research over the winter as springtime is prime time for detecting. Chris

    Clammy fingers, dog poop on my knees......

    And only one IH to show for my efforts. But it is end of December in Southern Wisconsin, so any detecting is a blessing. Just not necessarily that much fun. We had a freeze up back in November, I thought my last coin of the year was going to be a no date LC that I need to post a picture of...
