    Can it really be as easy as they say

    Greetings, I have been reading about a metal detector (Garrett) that has a visual screen that tells you exactly the coin you have found and exactly how deep it is.

    Settings for new users

    Good Morning Everyone, I will begin with an apology since I suspect I am asking a question that has been asked many times before. If anyone will indulge me I will much appreciate it. I am a brand new detector user and purchased a Minelab Excal 1000. What are the best settings to begin to learn...
