    Coils and coils - which one next?

    I am going to get another coil, but which one? I have the Digger and 10x5 HF DD, but I am trying to choose between the :coiltec: WOT 15" 3 kHz and the :minelab: 9" LF concentric, I like the coverage and the depth of the WOT, but I also like the depth and flexibility of the 9"concentric where...

    What's your opinion of the 9" HF concentric?

    Does anyone of you fine gents use, or have you used, the Minelab 9" HF concentric coil? How does it work in the water and on the beach? Thanks, John

    Fun time with the Digger this morning

    Ok, it doesn't look like much, but it was a fun couple of hours. I didn't take a picture of the pile of trash I brought home. I followed everyone's advice for using the little Digger and it was a different, far more capable little coil than my first experiments with it. The little earring piece...

    Treasure comes in many different forms....

    Out on my motorcycle today I stopped in to talk to the owner of a house that looked very old and that also showed up on some very old maps of the area. The owner lived in a beautiful home on the property next door, and when he answered we got to talking for quite a while. He said he's had 10 or...

    Coiltek serial number differences

    And one more question (thanks for your patience!). Does Coiltek have a different series of serial numbers on their Digger coils with an additional zero in the beginning? The Coiltek site indicates the "submersible" Digger coil serial numbers start at "0301" but I see that my serial number...

    Difference between "submersible" and "waterproof"?

    Scanning the Coiltek site, I'm having difficulty determing the difference between the "submersible" and "waterproof" and what the limitations of each may be. It's probably right in front of my eyes and I may have missed it, but does anyone have a good reference or definition? I want to make...

    Can't see coins on edge

    Gents, for some familiarization I put a quarter, dime, nickel, and penny out in the yard, buried bout 6+ inches and buried on-edge/straight up and down. I wanted to hear and familiarize myself with the tones that each made. However, they just weren't there. I had such confidence in my 705...

    How fast do you guys go?

    I went out a couple of times yesterday at a local park and a schoolyard, about an a hour and a half to two hours at each spot. Both times, and as happens each time I go out, when I'm packing up it occurs to me how small an area I actually detected. I tend to concentrate on getting a good 1/3...

    705 to a Tesoro? What was your experience

    Good day gents, I have a Minelab X-Terra 705 that I really like, but the Tejon has really grabbed my attention. I like the idea of learning the "language" of the single-tone machine and it's relative simplicity in operation while going as deep as anyone it seems. Have any of you folks...

    Sometimes closer than next door is OK

    Last night I was caught in MD Limbo: I wanted to detect a little but I was too tired and lazy to drive somewhere after a 14 hour day. So, as I shuffled past my wife with all of my gear I went.... out in my own back yard. I haven't used my 705 in many moons since we relocated from AK to TX...

    Second coil, and 10k class ring question

    Hello from The Woodlands, TX (by way of Alaska)! I got my 705 Gold Pack two or three years ago when we were living in Valdez, AK and since then I've learned a lot reading this forum and from Digger's eBook (more like my Bible, really...). I didn't find anything while prospecting the few times I...
