    (Want to sell) FS....Minelab Manticore Accessories.

    $123,456.00 might be a bit excessive. LOL

    Anyone have any feed back on the Fisher F-5?Thank you.

    Turn the detector on. Turn the disc knob to the off position, turn the threshold knob until you can hear a faint tone, find a piece of ground with no metal in it and bob the coil up and down until the threshold neither gets louder or quieter. If it gets louder on the down stroke, turn the GB...

    Hello from Virginia

    Welcome to the forum. The best "gear" likely won't find you the most until you learn it well. The Bounty Hunter is much easier to learn well as it is much less confusing and will still find most all of what is buried. After lots of experience, the higher priced "gear" may give better results...

    One more Question about rechargeable batterys

    The newer low self discharge ones work fine. I don't think they should be more expensive than Eneloops, Tenergys or EBLs though.

    Got the legend..now some questions

    In what part of Colorado do you live? If you are close enough, I have different coils you can try. If you are running max sensitivity, that is probably the problem. There is no where that I have detected in Colorado that allows that much sensitivity. It appears jmac can run higher...

    Help in finding Minelab metal detector

    Maybe if you buy alkaline ones. I bought some Eneloop batteries 4 for $12 about 10 years ago that I still use. They recharge for less than 1 cent for the electricity. If you find one for the Nox today for $20, let me know. All I see are $29-35+ and I am not sure how long they will be...

    Anyone have any feed back on the Fisher F-5?Thank you.

    No, the F2 was the inexpensive one and it was still pretty effective. The F5 is way more advanced. And you don't have to worry about membrane switches wearing out.

    % of accuracy of the x-y screen?

    It seems to me to tell you what you already know. A good tone and small variance in VID will give a relatively straight line in the correct quadrants. A not so good tone will scribble all over the place with no hint as to being a good or bad target. Listening works much better than watching...

    Help in finding Minelab metal detector

    In my opinion, most people here will sell their internal battery detectors before the warranty runs out. If not, they will pay $40 or more to install or have someone else install a new battery. I won't pay that much to recharge my AAs on my dozen or so detectors in a hundred years. Will the...

    dfx and vx3 finding gold jewerly

    DC phase is simply very slow variable retune threshold based all metal, almost like pinpoint mode on some detectors like the T2 or F75 or more like the static all metal on the F75. It can be used at the same time as the disc mode and gives a good indication of target size by the length of the...

    Tesoro 7" Wide Scan - any advantage?

    I have all three DD 5 pin coils and prefer the two larger ones. If I could only have one, it would be the largest but the 5 ⅜ inch concentric is by far my favorite and 8" round, second. For extreme nail infested areas the 4 inch can be quite valuable too. Good luck finding what you want. IMO...

    Help in finding Minelab metal detector

    Any Vanquish, 340, 440, or 540, would fulfill all the requirements listed and are about the best deals for SMF detectors on the market in my opinion. None of the ones recommended above use AA batteries or are as simple to use as the Vanquishes.

    rechargeable batteries

    Eneloop pro, Eneloop white, EBL 2800, and the highest Mah Tenergy ones all work great. The first Eneloop pro batteries I bought 10 or so years ago are still working very well. So far I haven't seen a lithium rechargeable AA that has the same capacity or longevity of the NiMH ones above. I do...

    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...
