    Bought my first new detector yesterday

    Got me a Cibola from (Edit). Cheaper price than anyone online. Been hunting with MXT for the past 5 years an decided to get something a little lighter that my 8 yr old daughter can use. Took her out once and she's been begging me for one small enough that she can use.

    Never found a bullet before. Found 3 today?

    Today I found my first bullets. Two for sure, maybe 3. I'm not sure that these are old, but they are better than a clad penny. I'm not sure if the center one is a bullet or not. Does the big one look like Civil War era? I'm in NE Kansas, and these were just up the hill from where I live, in...

    Power Cord on GTAx 550

    Does anybody know, for sure, if the power cord on the GTAx 550 can be replaced with a standard phone cord???

    Question for 1st seeded hunt:sadwalk:

    I'm participating in my first seeded hunt, in about 2 weeks, and will probably use the MXT as opposed to my 550. Assuming that all targets are silver, do I simply crank my discrimination all the way up to only focus on the good targets? I really have no idea what I'll be getting into with this...

    VDI question

    Considering that iron is technically supposed to show a VDI of -95 to 0 (please correct me if I am wrong), why does it regularly show up in the high 80s and 90s? I'm sure that this topic has been covered exhaustively, but it doesn't make sense to me that iron would jump around so much on a...

    Pinpointing with 4x6 Eclipse

    Went out with the 4x6 for the first time today and enjoyed it. I assumed that I would have to pinpoint from 2 different sides to narrow down the location of my target, but that really didn't seem to be the case. It seemed as if the highest tone was always smack dab under the very center of the...

    First time out with the MXT

    First nice day since picking up the MXT, so I decided to try it out, and I'm already in the market for a smaller coil. Think I'll get the 4x6 eclipse. Might try trading GTAx 10x14 PowerDD for it. I filled nearly 2 five gallon buckets full of junk. Mostly mason jar lids reading as pennies. I...

    My best find in March

    Got my first detector, a gtax 550, last May, and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute that I've been able to get out with it. I'd like to thank everyone on Find's for making it an even more enjoyable experience. I didn't think that I would ever have the need for another detector after...

    JACKPOT!!! First Wheatie!!! 1909!!!

    Looks like it's in really good condition; just a little green and dirty. Do I dare try to clean it? I found my second wheat, a 1941 about a foot away.

    Coin mode useless on GTAx 550???

    I'll quote from another forum "Coin mode on that thing is almost worthless unless the coin is not deep or laying flat". I'm not sure if this is true or not, but I seem to be having horrible luck finding coins since having my 550 repaired this week. I am getting better results during air test...

    GTAx 550 Depth Problems

    I bought a Garrett Gtax 550 with 8 1/2" Crossfire coil a couple weeks ago and have been having a lot of fun with it, although I've only been finding clad coins. I did an air test with it today and am only picking up coins at no deeper than 3-3 1/2 inches throughout the sensitivity range in...

    Ace 250 better than Prizm V or M6???

    I'm working on buying my first metal detector and have been interested in getting a Prizm V or an used M6. I contacted a local dealer to ask him about availability and he questioned my choice of metal detectors. "Why do you want White's?" he asked, and proceeded to tell me that I should buy an...

    What to do with $500.00

    Stimulus Checks are almost here and I'm gonna get my first metal detector. Problem is that I have no idea which detector to buy. White's is the only company that has responded and actually sent info. I'm leaning towards the Prizm V, but really have no idea why. I'm in the NE Kansas and will...
