Obviously the regular prizm's group the nickel and round tab in the nickel bucket, but I was hoping that with
the VDI Numbers on the 6T, you could distinguish the difference in some cases.....

After reading tons & tons of tests, engineering guides, Jeff Foster's wonderful book, forum posts, tips, hints and making a lot of "on-the-field" testing, I've decided to create a blog for italian-speaking-users on the most advanced DFX techniques.
I owe this forum a lot in term of knowledge and learning materials so, for every italian here... I'll be glad to invite you to:

This is a 2 filter machine just like the Classics.
What do you fellows think, check it out.
Even in the downloaded PRL-1 manual Whites left in the words Classic II in the rehashed manual! We all new this detector was too good for Whites to just drop.

It has basically been called a stripped down Prizm 3.
I have never put hands on a Prizm, but they look like decent machines. If it is a stripped down Prizm 3, would that not make it a 1 or a 2?
I am shopping for a backup machine, and yes the ACE 250 is in the lead. I have not found any information about the coinmaster, so I thought I might ask here in hopes that someone might know.

Does it have notch discrimination? Or is it linear like say, an XL PRO.
Is the ground balance factory set, or does it automatically adjust itself?
Is it superior to the ACE 250 in any way, or at least equal? If not, then how could it possibly compete?

Thank you in advance!

Great site, and I look forward to gettin to know y'all. It's been a tough week, and a great one, tryin to navigate the waters of detector-dom to find the right all-purpose machine for my purposes. I wanna thank everyone for their contributions, and give a special shout out to Steve H for the clarity and honesty of his knowledge and experience. I was all set to order an Infinium from him when I changed direction at the last minute and decided on the TDI. Sorry Steve...White's marketing model directed me otherwise, to a local dealer, but maybe I'll be able to repay you by visiting your place. My TDI should arrive in about a week.

Now if you'll all excuse me, I'm gonna go throw up again. :puke:

Can they be used since it is not a PI detector? The connector is the same but I don't want to burn up the TDI by using a Non-Compatible coils.

.Full Metal Racket
The perverse thrill of metal detecting, the world's worst hobby.
By Emily Yoffe
Posted Monday, Aug. 18, 2003, at 10:42 AM ET
Listen to Emily Yoffe discuss this topic on NPR's Day to Day.

I brought my metal detector on our summer vacationwe drove from Washington, D.C., to Mainehoping to add fun and profit to our holiday. As I packed it in the trunk for the trip home, my normally considerate husband had this to say about my latest pastime: "Now that your metal detecting is overand believe me IT'S OVERwe will think of it as a hideous family episode, like something out of a Pat Conroy novel, that we must put behind us and never discuss again."

It's true that I had come to think of metal detecting as the world's worst hobbyfrustrating, solipsistic, potentially felonious. But I had to admit that each time I turned the power dial on my Bounty Hunter Tracker IV and swung it over new territory, I understood how Bill Bennett must have felt before pulling that $500 slot: This time, baby, I'm going to hit the big score.

I started metal detecting for the latest episode of Human Guinea Pig, the column in which I do things people are curious about but wish someone else would do for them. But metal detecting was something our family actually did want to do, even without Slate's encouragement. It was my daughter's idea, actually. She requested a metal detector for her 7th birthdayshe had seen a TV commercial that promised diamond rings and other amazing treasure. My husband and I thought it was an original choice, and even somethingbesides sleeping latethat we could all enjoy. After all, what could be more universal than the desire to find and keep a valuable object that doesn't belong to you?


After being completely confused by the detectors offered on the Web, my husband called one of the retailers. He explained that we wanted a detector that would be easy for a 7-year-old to use, but that would be suitable for finding Civil War artifacts, since we live close to some known encampments.

The salesman found this hilarious. "Believe me, you're not going to find any Civil War artifacts. I've been doing this for three years and I've never found anything valuable." (Presumably, after this conversation our salesman enlisted and is now in Iraq leading the search for weapons of mass destruction.) The salesman also said not to worry about getting a metal detector that would be easy for our daughter. "She might go with you once, then she'll get completely bored and not want to do it again." Instead of taking this advice, my husband insisted on purchasing one, so the salesman recommended the $130 Tracker IV. Then, perhaps remembering what line of work he was in, he said, "You'll have fun," which turned out to be the equivalent of saying "bon voyage" to the passengers boarding the Titanic.

You've seen metal detectors in action. They are the long poles with the dinner-plate-sized coil on the bottom held by men with Bermuda shorts and atrophied calves who are scanning the beach looking for jewelry and coins. There are millions of metal detectors out there. Debra Barton of First Texas Products, manufacturer of my Tracker IV, estimates the handful of domestic producers sell a half-million a year. Rosemary Anderson, editor of Western & Eastern Treasures, a magazine for devotees, says the hobby really took off in the '60s when the machines became lighter and easier to use.

Anderson pointed out that people who do it call it a "sport." The industry loves to tout the exercise benefits of metal detecting. But metal detecting would most likely constitute a real workout only for those recently released from solitary confinement. I also learned from Western & Eastern Treasures that people who metal detect are called "metal detectorists." It was gratifying we had our own "ist" like numismatists, philatelists, or contortionists.

The modern history of metal detecting is ignominious. Alexander Graham Bell used an experimental model in 1881 in order to locate the assassin's bullet lodged in President James Garfield. Unfortunately, no one remembered that Garfield was lying on a mattress with newfangled metal coils, causing the machine to emit a continuous whine, resulting in failure to accurately locate the bullet. Garfield's heart gave out when doctors cut into him. (Read more about that here.)

The beep of the metal detector, like the car alarm, the busy signal, and the colicky baby, belongs in the catalog of irritating sounds. The booklet that came with my Tracker IV instructed me to study the different tones emitted by the machine so I would know the kind of metal being indicated. But I could never keep straight whether the chirp that resembled a dying sparrow meant iron or the drone like that of a truck backing up meant copper.

It was time to find Civil War artifacts. The three of us trooped off to a wooded area behind a public school near where I knew Union soldiers had camped. A man who lived a few houses down told me that a workman once asked if he could metal detect on that property and had found belt buckles and eating utensils. The woods were muddy and swarming with mosquitoes. I turned on my Tracker IV and it started emitting chirps and beepsit sounded like I had discovered a satellite outpost of Fort Knox. But every time I dug I turned up a hole filled with rocks and worms and roots. Occasionally there would be the pop-top of a beer can. As the salesman predicted, within minutes my daughter was begging to be allowed to go to the playground. She and my husband abandoned me to my attempts to contract West Nile virus.

After this episode I realized I needed help. I turned to my neighbor, Philip Dobak, a retired physicist and known metal detectorist. He told me one of his latest neighborhood finds was a 2,000-year-old Hebrew coin. I had a sinking feeling that I was now going to have to tell his lovely wife that Phil needed a neurological exam, when he ran across the street and returned with the coin. I was relieved to see it was hanging from a chain and mounted in the center of a silver Star of David. I asked to look at the rest of his treasures and he brought out a 4-inch-square box spilling over with a decade's worth of found objects.

It had the talismanic power of a shaman's chest. There was an 1879 U.S. silver dollar, British pennies from 1928 and 1938, a Chinese toy soldier circa 1940, a 1931 coin commemorating the 100th anniversary of the McCormick reaper, a class ring, a gold watch, a silver heart-shaped locket shot repeatedly with a BB gun, a wedding ring (I wondered if these last two were a set). The box filled me with a desire to release such lost things from their unwitting graves.

Phil said his favorite place to detect was the grassy strip that runs along the street side of many D.C. sidewalks. He called them a "renewable resource" constantly being refilled with dropped items. We went to such a strip next to a nearby park. Phil adjusted the arm length on my Tracker IV, resulting in the immediate relief of what was becoming a debilitating case of metal detectorist elbow. When the detector beeped Phil took out his knife, peeled back a divot (which he later carefully replaced), and revealed a piece of metal. In a half-hour we found a bottle cap, a piece of fence, a fist-sized mass of iron, and 53 cents. As we dug up our last quarter a woman opened her front door and held the collar of a straining dog.

"Are you from the city?" she called out.

"No, ma'am," answered Phil.

"Then I hope you're not digging up my yard."

"No, ma'am."

The confrontation exposed the underbelly of metal detecting: You have to do it either on public or private property, and neither the government nor the property owner necessarily wants you digging around like a colony of monkey-pox-infected prairie dogs.

Despite my newfound expertise, without Phil my further forays were a bust. A trip to a friend's yard where my daughter had dropped a ring the year before resulted only in the discovery of the sewer pipe. An attempt to find my editor's wife's lost engagement ring at a playground turned up one rusted nail. By this time my daughter was not only bored with metal detecting, she was appalled. On the way to the car from the playground I tried detecting on the grassy sidewalk strip.

"Stop it, Mom, someone might see you," my daughter said.

"But you're the one who wanted a metal detector," I said.

"I know, but I don't like it. Please stop. This is your last beep, Mom. I don't care if it's the world's best beep, just stop."

But I couldn't stop. I had to find just one good thing. I told my family I was going to metal detect on our way up the East Coast. My husband greeted this with the same enthusiasm Sony Pictures would bring to distributing Gigli: Part II. Our first stop was Manhattan, where my brother-in-law and 13-year-old nephew were eager to become detectorists. My brother-in-law recommended searching in Riverside Park, and the five of us set off. He also suggested I limp a little, making the metal detector look like a crutch. When we got to the park my husband took my daughter's hand and started putting disavowal distance between us. "Someone has to be able to bail all of you out," he called over his shoulder. As soon as I began swinging my Tracker IV a beefy man in a green park police T-shirt materialized. I turned it off and limped away. It went that way for an hour. I found one bottle top.

On to Maine. When we got to our bed and breakfast on Westport Island, I immediately saw that the living room sideboard was tauntingly laid with colonial era hand-forged four-sided nails that clearly had been dug up on the property. There was stuff here! The next day we went for a hike with the metal detector. But on every sixth tree was a "No Trespassing or Else" sign, and I began to fear we might find ourselves in some Down East version of Deliverance if I started detecting. I did do some in the sand of a little cove and found a nailnot hand-forged and not four-sided.

My husband begged me to give it up. When I refused he said, "Maybe you need to put yourself in the hands of a higher power."

"Yes, the Bounty Hunter Sharp Shooter II," I replied.

We arrived at my last hope, the home on Deer Isle of my sister-in-law and her husband. Their house had been built by a ship captain in the 1880s. They could see our family was in extremis and agreed to let me start detecting immediately. I walked across the yard, and at the point where field turned into woods I got a strong beep. I dug and found a large, semicircular handle for a kettle. It looked old and the turned-up corners of the handle were four-sided. Eureka! Of course, now I couldn't be stopped. I plunged into the woods, which had obviously been a longtime dump. Broken glass and trash were everywhere. There were piles of metalbed springs, a bicycle wheel, car parts. So much metal that my detector was uselessit was like turning on a silicone detector at the Miss Universe Pageant. My brother-in-law, taking pity on me, got a big shovel and starting digging. We turned up wonderful old bottles and some pieces of china that the captain had probably picked up in China. I was satisfied. I agreed my metal detecting was over.

When I told my daughter, she was ecstatic. Then she said she had a message for other children who might have seen the commercial that seduced her into asking for the metal detector in the first place. "Kids, your birthday only comes once a year. Don't waste it on a metal detector."

In Human Guinea Pig, I take strange jobs, sample peculiar therapies, pick up odd hobbies, and generally try the activities that my colleagues have always wondered about but don't have the guts to do themselves.]]> crabby White's Main Detecting ForumThu, 12 Nov 2009 14:50:08 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?31,1089265,1089265#msg-1089265 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?31,1089265,1089265#msg-1089265how did it work out what about depth

I just picked up a real nice used QXT Pro from my buddy Tom Hill which will back up my Explorer II. This unit will be primarily my ultra high trash detector and I am looking at the 3.5" Snooper coil. The QXT is fast in trash and has great separation compared to my Explorer II. I plan on setting the high tones for the Foil/Ring, Nickel/Ring and Coin Zones. I'm hoping to hear some good feedback and advice from everyone who has used it and the 4"X 6" Shooter coil. I'm talking about hunting around picnic tables and fire pits that are loaded with 20 tabs per Lesche scoop of dirt if you know what I mean on the kind of sites I plan to tackle. The QXT has a great ability to have the high tones sound off in the midst of all that trash as I have seen first hand with Tom in the field. I know that White's doesn't make the 3.5 anymore, but I'm sure I can track one down over the course of the winter. Just wondering what you think about it.

Thanks,

Jim

It's easy for a casual reader un-familier with "T Hunting" to not realize how much time and effort go into bringing home the prize even with the best equipment such as the Dual Field I've been using and years of experience!

Today it was only three hours and yesterday nearly four hours etc, etc!!


The salt air, mild temps and exercise make me happy and healthier so I'll keep on as long as I'm able!!

I know White has some outstanding detectors but
here's the question.

What would you do?

MXT or DFX?

I'f you are looking for something that is simple to use,
powerful, and accurate. I plan to look for rings/jewelry
coins, etc,,, If a relic comes along, so be it!

Your thoughts on the MXT.
Am I going to miss targets with that machine if I don't
get the DFX or better?

Since time is valuable what's the easiest and most
powerful and accurate machine for the money.

Thanks for your replies in advance!

If you have had the good fortune as I have of being able to water hunt wearing waders most of the time, this information is for you.

If you just want to know more about using waders you may learn something new from this info too.

Waders should never be worn where the water is so rough that you have to spend all your time keeping the water out of your waders and not focusing on hunting for treasure.

Where I hunt the water gets too rough for waders from time to time and I find something else to do, such as hunting the wet/dry sand.

During the summer months here in Connecticut the water temp is pretty chilly and makes using 3Mil neoprene waders a comfortable choice and as the weather turns colder 5 or 7 Mil is a better choice.

In warmer parts of the country many hunters dont use waders, but opt for swim suits, wet suits etc.

I like my waders to fit snug up under my arms with high front and back panels and wide shoulder-straps. Over-sized, flexible neoprene waders have plenty of give for digging and moving around.

To prevent a random wave from flooding my waders I wear a hooded rain jacket (when its not too hot out to do so) over the waders and a web belt that keeps the jacket/neoprene snug around my chest. The belt allows me to attach a lanyard for pulling a sifter and to secure my detector and I also slide my finds keeper and wrist watch on the belt.

To finish off the combo I wear extra large shoulder length rubber gauntlets with wool glove liners.

Waders have an annoying habit of leaking after a while no matter how much they cost or how well you care for them. It seems that no matter what I do, after using a new pair a few times I will start getting wet from annoying little leaks (Where the seams along the crotch join are the most common leaks). I have successfully patched the leaks, but once they start there is no end to the problem.

Not long ago I finally resorted to wearing a stocking footed pair of breathable cloth waders inside my boot footed waders! The stockings are 3Mil neoprene and keep my feet warmer, plus the waders do keep me dry! I have always used over-sized waders (for ease of movement) so the fit is no problem and the breathable waders are cheaper than a new pair of neoprene boot footed waders!! They should last well because of being protected by the outer pair.

This should keep me from constantly buying new waders to try and keep dry and readily deals with the annoying little leaks that make wearing waders a pain. There is room in them for layered thermal protection making them very comfortable in the coldest water.

When I arrive at my hunt site I unload my gear and place a 2 (or so) thick foam plastic boogie board (I found at the dump) on the ground to stand on while I put on my waders. This keeps my stocking feet off of any sharp objects that may damage the waders. (It is easier getting into the neoprene waders when you slide the slippery stocking feet in too.)

Unless the leaks get really bad in the neoprene waders I will continue using them (I have had them get pretty wet inside, but never so wet as to allow me to pour water out of them !). I rinse them off outside and inside and then hang and dry them with a wader drier.

I recently purchased a dry suit for when conditions get too much for waders or when I want to hunt deeper water, but I still prefer the ease of getting into waders and the flexibility of different layering to suit various weather conditions for most of my hunting.

I remember, I have never experienced the double beep because of lack of minerals, meaning only "rock" was present. Maybe this is because I live in Michigan, I don't know.

I understand that many hunters live in areas where the double beep is common, thus indicating hih concentrations of rock instead of minerals.

Why are minerals differant than rocks? As far as I know they are all rocks. Some are just more pure than others. Whats the differance]]> a White's Main Detecting ForumThu, 05 Nov 2009 15:48:20 -0600
