    Shifting Tides

    "There are three most common metal detector types you will find in the metal detecting market and community. They are VLF, Multi-Frequency, and Pulse Induction metal detectors. They are not inherently better than the other as they are different. Each have their benefits and drawbacks." Just...

    Nauti: So a multi frequency is not a PI? And handles the salt and black sands? Thanks

    Shifting Tides

    Just read some reviews from 1997 !! Soverign GT ... I will be checking out the PI's. Thanks and to TVR for suggestion. Is this machine still available? Last year after Anfibio did great job on dry salt sand but just too much chatter with the wet / black stuff I did look at the CTX 3030.

    Shifting Tides

    "Having alkaline conditions (wet salt) with heavy iron mineral content (black sand) is about the worst of both worlds when trying to keep ground balanced to look for non-ferrous targets." Thanks TVR you have really focused on my issue. I will give that a try. The AM has been good to me so...

    Shifting Tides

    Pretty much staying on easy to walk beaches these days in the Pacific North West (British Columbia... should be similar to Washington). Salty sands including black sands and no matter the setting my Anfibio Multi (admirable elsewhere) I can not get to settle down. Perhaps a reference to a...

    Living coastal, black sand challenge

    Newly using the Anfibio Multi but beginning to realize perhaps was not the best choice. I liveaboard my boat on Vancouver Island pretty much year round voyaging the entire coast including islands. Today, first time using on the beach the AM could not settle down over regular looking sand...

    Black sand beach

    Just on the learning curve with the AM. I live on Vancouver Island and tried the local beach (salt water, nice looking sand but streaked with black sands). I selected beach mode but the machine would not quiet down. I am guessing black sands were not in the equation for Notka in setting up...

    Mud n' rain protective cover

    Rainy season here in BC ... bought the cover for the Anfibio (advertised as fitting Kruzer, Gold Kruzer as well). Not a good fit and keeps falling off. Seems a trivial question but my controls are mud covered most days. I think it wise to cover up in these conditions. Anybody adapt, make or...

    Pro Pointer vs MD20

    Just wondering if there is much difference in function between these two detectors. The both have limited ranges about 3 to 4 inches. Is one used in cirumstances where the other could not be used? Garrett Pro Pointer / Falcom MD20 .. thanks

    Tight Places Nugget Shooting

    Such as crevicing and small bolder/log strewn streams where there is no room to swing a detector and where a probe type unit would be applicable. Would the Garret Pro Pointer or the Falcon MD 20 be the best bet. The md20 has the extension handle which would be an advantage. Does it also have...

    Coastal BC

    Hello.. my location is coastal BC and I mean coastal as I live aboard a sailboat. My turf is from the south Alaska border to mid Vancouver Island from where the ocean hits the shore and inland plus the creeks. I have detected for 2 yrs now with a Whites MXT and eliptical DD coil. I have found...
