    17 inch coil

    I would like to get feedback on users' experiences with the big coil, particularly in less trashy areas such as fields and old homestead yards. Are folks: backing off Autosensitivity, backing off gain, adding more or less discrimination, Deep and fast on/off settings, etc Are folks needing to...

    Relic TIDs

    What TIDs are folks finding relics at--esp buttons and bullets? It would be nice to have a compilation, like Digger's coin TID list.

    Recovery Modes

    I notice most of the programs posted have either "fast on-deep off" or "fast off-deep on". Are these mutually exclusive? That is, is there any degradation in performance by keeping them both on?

    12-30's

    I am using Gonehunting's program. I have been using a rule-of-thumb that anything in the 12-40s should be dug. I am having more difficulty in the 12-30's where most of the targets are duds, except for a few lead items. Has anyone figured out how to pre-determine if a target in the 12-30s is...

    Ground Balance

    The manual says not to use Ground Balance unless in heavily mineralized areas. Is it wrong to use it for a typical home site or farm field?

    Nails

    Today was the maiden voyage. I did find a 2 cent piece. However, I found myself digging a lot of nails, usually a few in a cluster--they sounded good and hit in the 'coin range'. I was using Gonehunting's program + some discrim. Does anyone have any advice how to recognize nails?

    Battery charging question

    I assume the WM 10 charges by plugging it into the main battery charger via USB cable. Can you charge both the main battery and the WM 10 through the charger at the same time? Thanks!

    MAC user

    As I await the arrival of the CTX, I need to square away how I am going to use the software. I am a MAC user. I saw a post where someone recommended Parallels ($79). I went to the Apple Store and was told that I would also still need to buy Windows ($200-300 from Bestbuy -- in whatever...

    Screen Protectors

    While I wait for delivery, I want to order a screen protector. What size phone screen protector fits the CTX--ie, iPhone 4S... They seem to come in many versions: anti-glare, HD, crystal clear... I have looked at Z--g, SGP Steinheil, and Generiks. Does anyone have experience on size...

    More Q's for those who have tested: sweeping, and 17x13 coil

    When sweeping: do we still sweep at the same speed we have for Explorer and ETrac, or can we sweep faster? And, does repeating a sweep over the same area lock-in the signal better, or is one sweep enough? How has the 17x13 coil worked out in terms of weight, depth, noise vs target ID, etc? Thanks!

    PC mapping and Findpoint

    Does anyone know if "PC Mapping" and "Findpoint" is only for PC, or will it also work on a MAC? If only for PC, does Minelab have plans to make it available for MAC in the near future? Curious that they have made the "Epic Find App" for iPhone. As a multi-Apple user who finds significant value...

    How does your silver look so good?

    I have seen a number of recent posts where silver looks lousy when first out of the ground, then the final coin looks great. I have a few recent silvers that have dark areas that I can't seem to get out. What do you folks use, and is it ok to do on a potentially valuable coin? Thanks, David
