    Tesoro 7" Wide Scan - any advantage?

    The Wide Scan is pretty heavy for its size, the 8 inch not so much. The 7 separates very well and seems as deep in my heavily contaminated sand. In the less contaminated parks and lawns, the 8 is deeper. It doesn't pick out nonferrous in iron or close to pull tab as well as the 8 but it is...

    Manticore coil screw

    Manitcore coils don't use ears, they use a solid block. The ears are on the lower rod. No more ears breaking on the expensive coil. If they break on the rod, it is much less expensive to replace. The user didn't need plumber's tap or thicker washers, just needed to stick the bolt through the...

    Manticore coil screw

    One side of the lower rod has a hole on one side that the bolt can slip through, the other is threaded like a nut so it doesn't need a separate one. My Vanquish is similar except the "clevis" is on the coil instead of on the lower rod. If you start the bolt from the wrong side, it won't tighten...

    Manticore coil screw

    I saw on another forum the answer. The clevis on the lower rod is threaded on one side. It was on this side that the poster installed the bolt. It didn't work because it wouldn't pull the other side of the clevis, When he switched it to the other side, then it pulled the clevis together...

    vista detectors

    I just checked my Vista X. It will disc out a quarter! I started with a zinc cent, then moved to a copper one and finally a quarter. It disced them all out. I admit I never knew that because I never tried it before.

    Going way back comparison

    We are all headed there, my friend. The leading cause of death is being born. All we can do is make the best of it. May GOD have mercy on us all.

    Manticore coil screw

    The Minelab website shows the lower rod has a clevis end, not the coil, and the washers are on the coil. They show 2 round washers, not the tear drop shape of the Equinox. Teflon tape sounds like a good idea as does shims under the washers.

    XP Deus 1 HF coil

    You might try deleting and reinstalling the coil on the remote. It helped my elliptical coil and worked on the pinpointer too.

    A Few Things That Helped Me With the Legend

    I agree with what you said both times. The process of finding out was what I was attempting to do but, without a metronome, it would have been impossible to tell the difference. I am well aware my soil (GB 85+, FeO2 .3 according to F75 and T2) is way worse than Dankowski's and very similar to...

    A Few Things That Helped Me With the Legend

    It is not my idea. It used to be Dankowski's modus operandi on the F75. He measured with a dime above the coil and used the deepest frequency. I agree moving the coil too fast will interfere with separation but not so much with depth.

    A Few Things That Helped Me With the Legend

    When I was trying to see which noise cancel allowed the deepest discovery on my Legend, I found changing the sweep speed made more difference than changing noise cancel channel. When I increased the speed passing over the coil, I got more distance. Lay a target on the ground and raise the coil...

    Silver is Going Crazy!!

    Does anyone think we have enough gold to back our multi trillion dollar debt or even our fiat currency? I'm not an economist, please educate me.

    OK...Too Cold, Too Much Flooding & Too Much Snow. What Do You Guys Do To Fill In Time?

    It's kind of funny. I live in Colorado and the high 2 days ago here was 81 degrees. Right now it is 75. We have dropped below freezing at night but have had only a day or two that the high was in the 30's. Kind of strange but I'm taking advantage detecting almost every day!

    Strange bullet shape

    The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook, third edition, shows 4 rings on it. The 4th is a crimp ring. Lyman #257464 and #257463 are similar and have more full size rings and could possibly be the one although they all use gas checks. It could also be an Ideal mold 25-20-86. Lyman took over Ideal...
