    Ground balance.............

    I have been around since 1971 and had many detectors so ground balance isn't anything new to me, but it is a bit different on the Xp Deus. I can get it done but for people just starting out it would be great if there was a video that actually shows the the steps necessary to gb the Deus for each...

    Where are all the posts on the................

    MX5 ??? I just picked one up and have watched every vid on YouTube and read just about everything I can find doing an internet search. The MX5 seems to be a very good detector but where are all the posts about them here on this forum? I just had surgery and it will be at least a week before I...

    Question for you 705 guys..................

    Several years ago, I had an Xterra70. I gave it a good go for about a year but I found that in the extremely trashy parks that I hunt in, I could not distinguish between a smashed can and a quarter and believe me, there are a lot of cans and other like objects in the parks I hunt. I sold the 70...

    My Garrett AT Pro Pointer is.......................

    making a light frying sound at the switch and after just 26 hours of setting on my desk, and off, has run the new battery down that I put in yesterday. This is the second one that has done the same thing! They replaced the first one, no questions asked. First one was less than a year old and had...

    XTerra and pull tabs...............

    I had the XTerra 70 a few years back and sold it after I was having a difficult time finding nickels. The newer pull tabs in the square or figure 8 design come in in the nickel range. I am a park/school hunter and my parks are loaded, and I mean loaded, with pull tabs and other trash. I just...

    A first for me..............

    I have found a lot of coin spills while detecting. Most are 3 or 4 coins in the same hole, but NEVER have I found a coin spill that had 77 foreign, yes all foreign, coins in a spill in an area of about 3 sq ft. I was detecting a small park and found it slow going when I decided to hunt a small...

    Questions for you 'Cortes' guys..............

    I have had two Vaqueros and now have a Cortes. I can not find a lot of information or videos on the Cortez but I have been detecting since 1971 and have been through a lot of detectors so I am very familiar with detectors, how they sound and how they work. Now to my questions. I have only been...

    For sale/trade/wanted...............

    I have a very nice Tesoro Black Vaquero with the new RSD 8 x 11 inch wide-scan coil that I would like to trade for a Vaquero Golden Umax. It was only used three times for only about 5 hours. I will sell it outright for $375.00 shipped to cont US. I am looking to buy a Tesoro Golden Umax, or get...

    Woo Hoo!..............

    I finally got access to an area that I have wanted to hunt for some time now. I picked up my friend Jim and we caught the city workers in a city sports complex that has four baseball fields. I asked permission to detect and the worker said that I would need to ask the team leader and pointed me...

    Today's finds...........

    Got out with a couple of friends today. We tried a couple of parks in a nearby town but there was too much trash so we went back the park that has been giving up all that clad. We can count over 100 bucks that has come out of this park in just one week but now it is like the rest of our parks...

    First time out with the F44.......

    I have had an F75 since 2008 and found bunches of goodies with it. I also have the F5 and it is also a great detector. I wanted to try the F44 so I took the plunge and it came in late yesterday afternoon. I got the F44 out on it's maiden voyage this afternoon for just over two hours. Humid but...

    Tip for you F5 users

    Something that has frustrated me is changing coils and being able to tighten and loosen the coil cable to the connector on the control housing on my F5. I have discovered a super easy way to do this and there is nothing extra needed to carry around to do so. All you need is one of the Velcro...

    Yes, it was hot but I just had to get out..........

    for a while. Took the F5 out today. Left home at 7:30 drove past two schools and two parks. Went back to a school. Got home at 8:40. Here is my take......

    I do not remember seeing this covered on any post...

    Do you hunt in trashy places with the Fisher F series detector? Well, I do and if you are like me, I have been discriminating out the tabs to keep the junk from driving my mind crazy. I have been doing this since 2009 when I purchased my F75. I do have the DST upgrade. Let me give you a tip that...

    Got permission to detect a 1950's home and.......

    the lot next door. The lot looks to have had a house there at one time due to the arrangement of the trees but Google Earth shoes no house there as far back as 1959 so not sure. Anyway, I detected for about 1 1/2 hours and never made it to the vacant lot. I will need to go back. The F75 was...

    After three days of gentle rain, I...........

    Took the 8000 out for a walk yesterday afternoon. It had been nasty, rainy and I was in desperate need for a clad fix. At least the rain was a gentle one that allowed the dry ground to soak it in and actually do some good. I let the sun dry the grass all day and spent just over an hour at a...

    Omega 8000 question.....

    I have been detecting many years and have owned many detectors. I have a Fisher F75 that I love but wanted a backup detector that would be a little lighter and allow me to stay in the field a little longer. After lots of videos and reading many articles on the F5 and the O8, I purchased a used...

    Best finds in several years

    Haven't posted here in a while but I felt compelled to show off my finds from yesterdays hunt. Brownsville is over an hours drive from my house in Edinburg, but today was worth the drive. Although I am getting older and my hunts are shorter, I still get out. This hunt was a five hour hunt and...

    Great info for anyone new to the F70 or F75...................

    I have had my F75 for several months now and I am still learning this monster of a detector. What I mean when I say monster is that it is a great detector!!! However, there some things about this detector that the manual does not include. At least I can't find any info like this in the manual...
