    Any recommended settings for the F70 in Gold country, Northern California?

    The threshold adjustment is your friend. If it is too chatty in disc, turn it down and it will quiet down. If in all metal, turn the sensitivity down until the threshold smooths out. It is not surprising that a small chain of any metal would ID as iron, even the smallest nuggets will too...

    Bullet ID?

    I've never seen a ramrod end shaped like the point on this bullet.

    Bullet ID?

    The rings are squished and the nose resembles the hollow base of a bullet ahead of it in the barrel. I've read it was not uncommon for soldiers to load more than one bullet unknowingly because of the stress,

    TRX Pinpointer

    I saw one sell on FeeBay for $202 about a week ago! It sat, almost up to auction end, at $146 but shot up in the last few seconds.

    Where can I buy a shovel waist carrier

    I had that problem too. I cut a piece of pvc tube that fits the outside of the shaft about 6 inches long and split it so it would go over the shaft at balance point and instead of hanging vertical and hitting my leg, it mounts horizontally behind my back and only interferes in tight places...

    yellowed white tesoro coil remedy

    I have a Tesoro coil that had turned an ugly yellow color. I tried a light sanding which did not good. I was watching youtube where a person put yellowed plastic in hydrogen peroxide, then put in the sun and the yellow turned white again. They were soaking the piece in the liquid. I didn't...

    Metal Detector Rack

    Check fuel filter, fuel pump, and air filter and maybe give it a little injector cleaner. It could also be an ignition wire rubbing against metal somewhere or a broken spark plug insulator inside the cylinder.

    It is a loose ring snaffle bit, also called a watering bit. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/original-model-1917-cavalry-phillips-4750281771

    Detector prospector forums are closed.

    Tom's new forum is still there but the majority of posts are from one person--not Tom. They said Tom lost his connection to the forum but is working to get it back and will post again when he does. It is surely not like it was a few years ago. I don't go there anymore.

    Detector prospector forums are closed.

    Sad news, another metal detecting forum is closing posts although it will still be available to view; but no posting anymore. I will miss it.

    Here's maybe a crazy question, especially to all the old timers like me who've scanned the ground while detecting......

    Being raised in rattle snake and cactus country makes a person inclined to do this.

    Any pointers

    A large gold ring should sound like a nickel or zinc penny (1983 or later). I would listen to both on the ground and watch the meter to see what it does. The ring should show in about the same general area on the meter and sound similar. If you have a medium size nail, you could discriminate...

    Metal detector prices.

    Supply and demand. People will pay a high price for premium performance, no matter the cost to produce.

    wireless bluetooth receiver aptxLL rated

    It is similar. The transmitter part on the right has the AT Pro waterproof fitting whereas, the one I was referring to has a stereo plug. That way it works with anything that has a stereo jack. They also make one that uses their own headphones as the receiver. However, these do not work with...
