I'm very anxious to get it out in the iron and see what it can pick out of the trash for me.
I'm not expecting this to be a miracle machine, especially for the price, but if it works half as well as advertised I will be happy.

My main detectors are the Fisher CZ5 and Tesoro Vaquero and I love them both....deep coins have a hard time hiding from these detectors.
Sometimes a simple turn on and go machine with good depth and good discrimination is just a fun way to spend the day coin hunting.
From the limited videos and reviews on the Eurotek Pro it seems to be a solid performer at a very reasonable price. More to come after getting some hunting in with the new detector....HH

Although they missed this William III.......thank you. Dates 1695-1701

Never dug these Franklin style spectacles before...not sure if they are mid 18th century and or late 18th...nothing here is older than mid 1800's as far as relics for the most part.

Wish I could say they were deep but they were not...but they were in a ton of iron...iron iron everywhere.]]> azsh07 Teknetics ForumWed, 22 May 2013 21:19:33 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?58,1914068,1914068#msg-1914068 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?58,1914068,1914068#msg-1914068 SkiWhiz Teknetics ForumWed, 22 May 2013 23:38:05 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?58,1913806,1913806#msg-1913806 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?58,1913806,1913806#msg-1913806 mascard1 Teknetics ForumWed, 22 May 2013 16:20:51 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?58,1913688,1913688#msg-1913688 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?58,1913688,1913688#msg-1913688 SkiWhiz Teknetics ForumTue, 21 May 2013 21:29:26 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?58,1913571,1913571#msg-1913571 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?58,1913571,1913571#msg-1913571

The detector seems to have very good depth, it's very light weight, has target ID, and is very inexpensive.
I also like the iron audio feature of the detector.... actually this was the selling point for me.
Hope to have my Eurotek pro by the weekend.

After I get a few hunts in with the detector I will let you know my likes and dislikes of the detector.......HH

I am using this with the 11"DD coil so this is the toughest combo, within reason, to use in this type of hunt.....but as I said I don't like to play coil swapola all day. So...I just have learned to use it in trash.

I will say that the Eurotek is one of the better units I have used in this type of detecting....and if price is adjusted to performance well..then the best. If we don't adjust for performance to price then there are slightly better more expensive machines.

The recoevery in iron is fast....to me along the lines of the G2 and GoldBug or an Omega etc.

Since these areas are always loaded with forged iron nails as well as rusty tin and extreme amounts of other iron....detecting them can be a bugger. The Pro just handled them with no problems. Very little falsing high on nails...actually so far...none and that is based on never digging any nails that fooled me....and I dig iffy signals so....I am not cherry picking.

As for larger rusty iron it handles this as well as other machine I would use for this purpose. My personal gauge for this is...THE OX SHOE. How I base this is...if I can call out an ox shoe BEFORE I dig it. If the machine I am using does not perform in a maaner that allows me to do this...then....it is out of the detector fold.

A great unit will allow me to almost 100% of the time call out an ox shoe before I dig it. I don't dig them intentionally all day but...I do dig them when I am evalualting a machine and from time to time just to not get complacent and walk by all similar targets. Now not all targets I call out, in my head, as an ox shoe are ox shoes.....but they will all be similar makeup. Ox shoes are a hand forged iron and when rusty they have a specific sound on a good machine...might be unique to that machine but always able to know.

It handles this group of targets just fine. Easy to tell...when swept over the center it hits real tight in the mid 80's...as you move off center it swaps to the VCO mid and now since it is VCO it starts to scream louder...then as you come off it is jumpy iron. Hence...an Ox Shoe...or any similar iron targets I suppose.

But some machines have problems with these and like to hold on to that higher good signal when cross swept and when moving off target.

Anyway.... as far as recovery speed in dense trash...very good. I was out yesterday in some old colonial spots new to me and right up against the foundation hole. I was picking buttons right out of the nail carpet. Now I am using the 11" DD so not the easiest to do this with,,,,,,but since the buttons are that mid VCO it was easy to hear them mixed in amongst the nails. This is probably the number on type target I find right close to a foundation...that and shotshells and thimbles.

Best part still is so little high falsing in this type hunting and you have to remember we are hunting in dense granite stone packs which can cause a lot of high 90 hits....mix that in with rusty forged nails and some machines it is a nightmare. But...really no problems whatsoever.....oh a few rare blips but honestly almost never a solid high hit that was crap. Exception to this is the rare really hot piece of granite and those are easy to ID...they pinpoint like poop...either going null or are mushy and large. even so MAYBE I get one or two of those per hour and again considering the PILES of granite rocks I hunt around...that is very good.

If I can I may try a video...but rain is coming this week so we will see.

Will be interested in what others see with the 8" concentric coil. I will probably get this one to use in cellars since I can also use it away from them in the surrounding woods. Whereas the 5" is worthless to me when I move away into the woods.

I had the sensitivity set at 99, the discrimination set at 39, with 3 tones. GB was 58/60.

What is making me sad is that it's been six months since I got the thing, and I never realized until now that my machine is / maybe has not been detecting quarters or dimes of any sort!

Does anybody know of anything related to this problem? It performs well on every other metal I've checked it with or dug up, but for some reason there hasn't been a single reading on any of the quarters or dimes I've swiped in front of it.
I've played around with all the settings I can find, and I am usually set to detect all metals at all sensitivities!

I would be extra pleased to know if anyone has any input or solutions to this problem! I want to get back out in the field asap!

The way Im reading is there are three tones, one for iron(kind of a squawk), one for any setting below the disc point that isnt iron(vco sound) and then the higher pitched sound for everything above the disc set point.
So if the detector is set to just knock out small iron...........then foil, nickels and dimes are all gonna give a high tone, is that correct?]]> Neil Teknetics ForumWed, 15 May 2013 12:41:38 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?58,1910695,1910695#msg-1910695 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?58,1910695,1910695#msg-1910695 pitcher Teknetics ForumFri, 17 May 2013 16:00:09 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?58,1910528,1910528#msg-1910528 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?58,1910528,1910528#msg-1910528
