    New to metal detecting

    Whats your main interest, coin & relics or beach hunting? What state are you in? I ran the 900 for almost 2 years. Keep it simple at first, factory programs and keep sensitivity down around 19 or 20. The 900 can be a very sparky machine. Welcome to the forum and good luck.

    First Half in a Nail Carpet

    Yes I remember the glare on the Etrac was also terrible. Only good thing that came of that was I started to learn to hunt by tone, not Id. With the Manticore running the backlite killed the battery pretty quick so I bit the bullet and added an R&B. Problem solved. Funny thing, when I get a...

    Maiden Voyage with the Manticore

    Great start with the Manticore. Congrats on the GRW token. Until I got into the hobby I didn't give much thought to tokens. Now they are a favorite find. Unlike a coin they are kinda more like a personal connection to history, a lot of times local to a specific area. Whether it be automotive...

    First Half in a Nail Carpet

    I wouldn't be opposed to a 6 in. coil. I would give one a try. I ran the 6 pretty much all the time on my 800.

    First Half in a Nail Carpet

    Have you heard anything on that ? I remember reading someone posted the Codan report for 26 and it said they planned 2 new releases. One in spring and another in the fall. Well the Gold machine was released in the spring so l wonder whats coming in the fall. I hope not another mid-tier machine...

    First Half in a Nail Carpet

    WOW ! Nice save on the Barber half, (still #2 on my bucketlist ) and the seated dime. Persistence pays off, hunting where others have given up or are too lazy to try. Well done. I have to agree with you, the Manticore w/9in coil is the best combo to come along in a while. I got mine in Dec. of...

    Where can I buy a shovel waist carrier

    I bought this one. very sturdy and practical for a T handle. However I bought if for a 31" Predator and doesn't matter where you put it, the shovel bangs off you when you walk. Maybe good for an 18 ".

    New addition to my Manticore.

    Love it. I keep mine hooked up all the time. I use the backlight the whole hunt. The longest hunt so far with the Manticore has maybe been 8 hrs. No issues and the weight is negligible. It also cuts way down on charging time. Till I added the RNB with back light on it would barely run for six...

    The New XP ICON & ICONIC??

    Sounds pretty good, everything but the wireless. I've read charging the cable is a pain. If under a grand I night give it a try.

    Some recent finds....

    Next to a silver coin the Ihp is my favorite find. Haven't dug one this year though. Congrats on the Ihps, wheats and pin. Good day for sure. I've had wheat spills, most in one hole was 7 but its an IHP spill I'm still dreaming about. If you have the option to go back I would say change your...

    Waterbury and Scoville

    Absolutely more there. I always seem to either find a keeper or two early in the hunt or at the end swinging towards the truck. One of my last outings I hit a two wheat spill crossing a field that has been on life support for years. Nobody bothers to hunt it anymore. Swinging pretty much...
