Brokensignal said:Yeah Neil for the Minelab Advantage there is no concentric coil at all for this detector.I go right through the trash with a Tesoro!.I think you boy's should check one out.Ya'll can keep thinking those high priced digital tv screen buzz boxes are the way to go but if i were you i would just get a Vaquero or a Tejon and be done with it.What you got to loose,it's a Tesoro,it's covered for life.Every serious treasure hunter needs a detector covered for life.You better get one before they go digital!. Is your software updated yet?.
They are all owned by the same parent company, First Texas. Just as Chrysler is/was owned by Daimler-Benz, and Pepperidge Farms, Pace, and V8 juices are owned by the Campbell soup company.Brokensignal said:I heard Teknetics T2 and Fisher is all Bounty Hunter now,is this true?
Its a good thing you are asking here - sometimes you gotta be careful with the advice of friends.I also had some friends say the T2 and F75 had a serious problem with bad chatter problems,is this true?
I heard you could not hunt around power lines at all with a T2 or F75. IT seems these detectors have issues? did they get fixed with the new T2 LTD and Fisher F75 LTD? Seems like a lot of money to pay for a metal detector with chatter problems?.
The MXT, from White's can do this, too; split the signals as you put it. Unfortunately it comes with a honking big coil that sees a lot of ground.slingshot said:.. the Tracker series from BH or First Texas are my choice. These detectors have the dual-tone ID that can be set where the tabs split the tones-giving you 3 tones....the point where the tabs split the tones could be thought of as the "bias" in the disc setting-it only takes a fraction more to activate the high tone for coins.
Thus, coins next to tabs or even UNDERNEATH them activate the high tone, or coins mixed in spills with the nickel coins or trash being predominant STILL activates the high tone, and when the coins are removed the low tone for the nickel or mixed tone for tabs will remain. Under some conditions like this, notch detectors or ID detectors will either reject or ID these as trash. The trade-off? You get a lot of signals 'cause all targets will sound off! There have been times when confronted with overwhelming trash, I have set the tone break at square tab or zincers and just dug the high tones. STILL, it finds the coins next to tabs.
