    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...

    Fw, sir, nothing that you find surprises me anymore, maybe you, but not me. Congratulations again.

    Strange bullet shape

    Looks like maybe a bullet pulled from the brass by gripping the nose. That would also explain the lack of rifling. The Lyman cast bullet number 257325 is a pretty good candidate.

    att. orx users

    I still have a Vista X but there really is no threshold based all metal for pinpoint. I don't think it is any different than turning the disc down to 0. It is a good powerful detector but I am partial to threshold based all metal for pinpoint.

    Bandito 2 and Eldorado u-max comparison

    Cleaning the coil plug and potentiometers with Deoxit or Peaveys cleaner will sometimes cure the problem.

    First Impressions with My DeepTech Vista

    If you are in two tone, bottle caps will give a strong iron tone outside of the coils edge while good targets usually don't give a tone until inside the edge of the coil. In ferrite loaded ground you might get a weak iron tone coming off of good targets but it is not as prominent as with bottle...

    Just got a new rumbler for cleaning wow!

    I bought an old lorotone in about the early 1970's for $5 at a yard sale. I would hate to estimate how much cartridge brass and coins it has cleaned since then. I did recently buy a new barrel and a belt for it. the barrel was expensive, the belt cheap. I put it on even though the old one...

    Impact pro interesting metal detector !

    I am well pleased with my Impact. Its voice is very telling and it is deep too. I really like the all metal choices. To me the balance is not as good as some others but not really bad. The small football coil and 7 inch concentric are outstanding in my opinion. It is one of my favorite...

    Will these coils fit ( Anfibio and Impact )

    Monte Berry said they are compatible, only the length of the cord is different and, like you say, a hole must be drilled in the upper shaft. On another forum, one from Great Britain, Sven said they will work. Good luck. I really like my Impact especially with the 7 inch concentric coil. The...
