    Bandido or Silver Sabre which one to keep?

    I did find a Vaq. Now I have a cleansweep coil on a Vaquero & Silver Sabre.

    Bandido or Silver Sabre which one to keep?

    Thanks for all the input. I think I like prefer the tone on the Silver Sabre a little more as well.

    Bandido or Silver Sabre which one to keep?

    I've owned many Tesoro's and for a while they were a primary detector for me. I now use an Equinox & Deus as my primary units & pull out 1 of 3 Tesoro's (other being Vaquero) for total lots or grandkids to use. They mostly sit so I'd like to sell one. Bandido - GB is nice in my tough soil but...

    water hunting cable

    It's been a while but I believe I cut the shielding back & then used shrink tube on both ends. I used a you tube video for instructions. Works great for wading.

    Equinox Pods Are Backordered Turn-Around Time Unknown

    Had to return my 800 for water Intrusion (4th pod that has failed in nearly as many years) and recvd an email stating return time is unknown due to backorder. Hopefully it will be short!

    WS5 Degraded-Lost Signal Help

    Thank you for the info BobOso. I just checked and both the headphones & remote are paired to the same coil. Still waiting for XPs response.

    WS5 Degraded-Lost Signal Help

    I did buy the WS5s later but updated the remote,, ws4s & ws5s with the latest update, 5.21, at the same time. When I use the remote only the stud comes in solid. When I use hard wired headphones with the remote the stud comes in solid. When I pair my WS5s to the remote I get no signal return...

    WS5 Degraded-Lost Signal Help

    This post is more about a degraded signal when using my WS5's with or without the remote than frequency, masking, ground balancing, settings, tough target, and yes, I agree with all of your comments. Also makes sense that when using the WS5's alone with the 74kHz coil there may be different...

    WS5 Degraded-Lost Signal Help

    Picked up a set of WS5's, updated them, ensured they were working with coil directly & thru the remote. Did a coin hunt & loved the comfort vs the WS4's. I was asked to look for a lost stud earring. I air tested my wife's gold stud with the remote & HF elliptical and dialed in some settings I...

    Hookahs

    I have a couple commercially built battery powered hookahs. I bought a used Sea Breathe 2 person deck model about 4yrs ago and used it a few times as you suggest. I always feared I would pull it into the water even though I tethered it. Last fall I bought a Keene floating setup and have yet...

    HF Coil Saves The Day!

    No tigershark any more. This ground is tough on this sand spit. Seems higher kHz handle it better than low. Recommended sensitivity on my CTX is 2-5. Can run 10 before its chatty. My PI machines get good depth but wouldn't see my sample buried chain. My Equinox 800 may have done the job but...

    HF Coil Saves The Day!

    I was asked to search for a gold chain in a local river. The CTX wouldn't see it reliably & my Makro Gold would have drowned. The logical choice was my Deus with 9" HF coil. I dressed it up for the water, selected Goldfield at 54 kHz, and 2hrs later had the glisten of gold in my scoop...

    The writing is on the wall.

    My 3rd 800 is in the shop now for water intrusion. When I get this 800 back it will also get an overnight soak in the tub, just like the last one, which lasted 5 freshwater hunts. Supposedly they are paying more attention to a 10' water pressure test before going out the door; I didn't think to...

    Any Water Fails?

    Has the Simplex been water tight to it's advertised 10' depth? I've had 3 Equinox's fail while wading and I'm looking for a reasonably priced backup for freshwater hunting.
