    Cibola or Vaquero - Can't decide. Please help!

    I live in northern Calif. and i'm told the soil in this area is pretty mild. The Cibola seems so easy to just set the threshold and go to it. I have a Whites M6 and have to find a clean spot to ground balance each time I use it which is not always easy to find around this old house I live in. Is...

    Preset VS Manual GB question

    I've read that manual ground balance machines can give you good depth when adjusted correctly, but if their adjusted incorrectly it can cause you to loose some depth. That being said, does this mean that preset machines don't usually run at their full potential for depth because their set for...

    Killer B question

    I'm shopping for headphones and I like the looks of the Killer B Optima because of the single volume control and what a lot of you say about Killer B's, but they don't seem to have a limiter in them. Who would I contact to ask if they can put a limiter in a set for me and the price for that...

    Deleon question

    Can someone tell me if the Deleon has preset ground balance or is it automatic and adjusts itself to ground conditions? Thanks Gopher.

    M6 depth problem

    Time to turn to you pros for help. I don't seem to get much depth with my M6 so I buried a clad quarter laying flat at 5" deep (measured it with a tape and straightedge across the top of the hole). With 6x10 Eclipse coil, disc. at zero , sens. at 90 I ground balanced over clean ground and locked...

    Cibola or Vaquero

    I'm trying to decide between these two machines. The reviews I've read are great for both of them. Is a machine with manual ground balance that important? It seems as if some owners have trouble getting them balanced properly and have to do it a lot. That makes the Cibola sound like less...

    Pin pointing question.

    Can someone help me understand what is going on in this situation. I sweep across a target left to right and get a pretty solid tone then turn 90 degs. and sweep but get little or no sound. I think it's a common thing that happens with all metal detectors because iv'e seen my friend do the same...

    Small M6 coil ?

    There's a lot of talk about the 5.3 coil for the M6 and very little about the 5" Excelerator although I thought the Excelerator coils went a little deeper. So is the 5.3 the preferred coil for trash. I guess I'm looking for a comparison between the two before I buy. Thanks

    Hey, Clondike

    How do you get your M6 to be stable? Is it in the ground balancing or the sensitivity setting? I have the 6 x 10 Eclipse coil and still have the chatter in between targets. How do you set yours up just before you start to hunt. Thanks Gopher.

    Noisy M6

    The M6 seems to be a pretty noisy machine. I was hunting with a friend at the lake who has a Garret 2500 and he was kidding me about how I could have any fun with all that noise. His detector runs so quite between targets. My machine beeps and chirps and chatters a lot in between solid targets...

    Need forum help please

    I was trying to learn more about what you can do while looking at the forum and clicked on SWITCH TO THREADED VIEW and don't see a way to get back where I had been. Can someone help me? Thanks lots, Gopher

    M6 coil question

    I can't decide which coil to get for my M6. The 5.3 Eclipse or the 4x6 DD. I suppose a lot of people have pondered this question. The guy at Whites said the 5.3 is the better seller but it seems like more people talk about the 4x6 DD. I don't have the money for both. I was doing good to get the...

    ID question about new M6

    Just got my new M6 from Backwoods Detector Sales. I buried a quarter in the dirt about 6" or 7" down. It's laying flat. There's no other metals around it. The VDI, when I sweep across it shows everything from hotrock to iron to pulltab to penny/dime on up. When I use tone ID sometimes it sounds...

    6 x 10 Eclipse on M6?

    I'm wondering what I would gain by using an Eclipse DD 6x10 compared to the stock coil on the M6. I like the hole in the middle of the stock coil and $150.00 is quite a bit if there's not a considerable difference. I hunt mostly for coins. Does the Eclipse identify targets as well? Could someone...

    2 questions about the M6

    When I watched the M6 DVD with JImmy Sierra and Greg Mascini I got the impression that the M6 doesn't identify a target very well. Greg was digging bottle caps in the park and Jimmy was on the beach, adamant about the display being approximate as to what it was telling you was in the ground...
