    Tejon Interference

    It will hit gold if it is large enough, which isn't very big, just not as small as the Compadre. The Compadre can hit 7 ½ shotgun shot as well as the Bandido 2 micromax picks up 4 shot when almost touching the coil in each case A sniper coil is all I use for this, no matter the detector. Most...

    Tejon Interference

    The Bandido 2 micromax will find as small a gold as the Compadre but only in all metal mode.

    Merrill Carbine Bullet (?)

    If it was from this bad boy, there should be more nearby. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billinghurst_Requa_Battery

    Merrill Carbine Bullet (?)

    The Merrill was the closest to your specifications in A Handbook of Civil War Bullets and Cartridges by James E. Thomas and Dean S. Thomas. It says "This bullet was made at the Richmond Laboratory for captured or pre-Cilvil War Merrill cartridges. The bullet has a solid base." I looked at...

    Tesoro Coils

    I have both the concentric and wide scan 5 inch 4 pin coils. The concentric is a bit better in thick nails, the DD maybe a bit better in bad soil but otherwise, there isn't a whole lot of difference that I can tell. I wouldn't sell either one of them but I am a detector hoarder too.

    Vanquish 540 question - Ground Balance

    From Dave Johnson, metal detector engineer (RIP): "Many of our products, from the under-$100 BH Junior to the F75, have discriminators which use differentiation to track out ground. In the case of our higher end models which offer phase adjustment, most augment the discriminator with the ground...

    Petrified wood cut and semi polished

    Look up petrified wood arrowheads. Some of them are gorgeous too. Lamar, Colorado has a building made of petrified wood from nearby areas.

    Xp Deus Charge clips

    I have a doodad clip without the readout and it works wonderfully. However, I don't think they are made anymore. Then again, my original one is still working fine. My elliptical HF coil is still on its original battery too. I had trouble charging it at one time but when I deleted it and...

    rechargeable batterys for z link garrett pointer

    My experience with rechargeable 9V lithium ion batteries is different from the above post. I use them in my Tesoro's and Fishers and Teknetics along with my Garrett Carot and Whites TRX pinpointers. They hold their charge just fine.

    (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...

    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.
