    Unusual interaction while detecting today.

    Strange I notice an abnormal number of young boys that may be Autistic. (My wife says I am as well). They ask if they can use my machine or have the target. Follow me halfway down the beach, stepping in where I want to dig…

    Unusual interaction while detecting today.

    I must have met his daughter. Same declarations and disgust from her. 16-18 years old. Out of the blue as I walked by.

    I get to the beach with my AQ then this happens…

    I finally spoke with a customer support person and she said the coil adapter is not available separately. I will also try to fix mine if I can find a cf tube like OBN modified. In the meantime I’ll order a replacement shaft from Serious Detecting for $69 plus shipping (on sale).

    I get to the beach with my AQ then this happens…

    I was able to drill out the tube and get all the remnants out. They had filled the inside with a resin up to the end of it. Stuck a pvc pipe down the center and hammered it free.

    I get to the beach with my AQ then this happens…

    The remnant of the coupler is really not playing nice. Only good thing is it has a lower melting point rep than the shaft so I can dab at it with a soldering iron. But if they glued it I’ll have to drill and that is risky.

    I get to the beach with my AQ then this happens…

    After driving 45 minutes and then walking to the beach, I look at my AQ and see the coil dangling from the shaft. Of course no answer from calls to First Texas customer service. Do they sell just the coil attach piece or you have to buy the whole thing?

    CTX 3030 compared to Manticore

    Oh wait, I’m stupid(!). I thought the videos were the ones I saw earlier, that showed CTX faults. But no, these show Manticore faults. The whole thing about targets are only good if you test targets as found then turn 90 degrees and try again is now at risk. So now I’m left not knowing what to...

    CTX 3030 compared to Manticore

    At the beach, the likelihood of a nail being in the 4+” radius of a gold ring may be low but the nail can be thought of as a ferrous concentration much like black sand and that is a common occurrence. The test is not really an air test - it is a magnetic field response test, pointing out an...

    (Want to sell) Whites TDI SL

    Sounds like a challenging project for me but if you can get it repaired for $150 you should do it. What is your location? My shipto is 92679.

    manticore

    I also wonder if scammers pick the Manticore to make their ads with now. Some prices are pretty low.

    Can someone help me out?

    Look on eBay for a cheap lab dc power supply. You can use it to test your detector, power battery chargers, a multitude of things. 0-30V range and get look for a current limit knob on it too. The meter will tell you current limit or current demand. You will establish a normal current reading...

    Beach confusion…

    Research a plastic feed shovel with holes drilled in it. Works great and you can check a full scoop with your detector. Just not that great at digging deep holes where rocks may be.
