Just tried out my new musketeer-DEPTH IS INCREDIBLE

[Gunnar MN]

Thanks to Richard at backwoods detectors, I got a 900.00 machine for 325 bucks yes it is used but in great shape and works as good as new , ive been disapointed for two years now whith the depth of all my preveous detectors i have owned an M-6 and a cibola and a silver umax and a compadre and a golden umax and non could penitrate that 6" barier so thru my research i found out that the lower the khz the better the signal can penitrate into the ground so i knew i needed something below 7khz then i also found out that a DD coil sill see less ground afect so i wanted a DD I knew this to be tru when i went from a concentric coil on my golden umax to a 7" DD sudenly my signals improved notebly i also was missing the ability to ground balance which was costing me depth my cibola was the deepest of the machines i listed but it fell short and had no all metal i was bared from any thing beond 6"and most of the time i was lucky to get 4" even the M-6 was a panzy for depth but great at TiD when i seen the musketeer i knew that was the detector for me well i tested it out for the 1st time tonite and was i blown out of the water i have clad dimes very accuratly measured in a test garden and my ground has black sand in it i can race a mabnet thru it and it loads up fast andy way ive got dimes at 1.5" -- 3"---- 4.5--'" 6" 7" 8" and dont you know whith the little 8" coil on this musketeer i hit that 8" dime whith a clear signal i was blown away ive never been able to do that and a dime is the smalest coin so any other coin would get better depth i did not try the 10" coil that also came whith the detector yet i was to exited and did not want to awake the china man wohhh I have found my soul mate finnaly Gunnar MN

It is BBS (multi-frequency) technology.

but, then those that owned the Musky already know that. Too bad they are overpriced new, that it has to compete for sales with lighter, smaller, more balanced TID machines.
Would have loved to have a Musketeer Forum.

let my friend use my spare detector yesterday it was a musky advantage. His very first hit was a silver dime at 9in came in clear. You got a good machine. When you find a good target and hits both ways turn your dis all the way up if it goes away walk away junk. When done turn your dis back to about 2o'clock and find another.

To answer the question , Is it a multi frequency ? No it is a 5 khz single frequency, this frequency is good at getting down deep on coins , now i will note the difference between the musketeer and the Golden umax one notable difference is that the musketeer is deeper on coins but on a small gold 14k ring it was weak wear as my golden hits hard on the gold ring and i mean hard and the compadre hits harder yet the musketeer is not paying attention to junk items very well wear the golden will bark very loud But really they are two very diffrent machines if you are looking for deeper silver coins the musketeer is a good detector if you are looking for gold rings and want to clean up spots or just hunt at a school i would use the Golden it pinpoints way better Its intresting how frequency affects things and targets very intresting

Gunnar i like hunting with my musketeer,i went to a place this morning and found a bunch of coins that i had missed with my Tesoros,it loves quarters,they sound like a soda can!,found one of those dollar coins a couple month's back,blew my headphones off! I just ordered a 15"WOT for my musky from Lynn at Detector Depot,he mentioned that he has a musketeer at a real good price,shoot if i had the money i would get it just to have two,i like the musky so much,you can get DD coils from the size of 5"-18" wow! talk at you latter gunner,you know me,i used to be on tesoro forum all the time!.happy 4th.
