    How does the F75 cool down on a hot day... ICE

    Make that Ice & Platinum. Went out for a couple of hours in the early morning and found this 4.1 Gram Platinum Diamond ring about 2 inches down near a tree in the park. For a change of pace I was hunting in all metal mode and discovered that I can use a faster swing speed to cover more...

    F 75 Earned Its Keep... Again

    I found this ring a couple of weeks ago in the wood chips at a tot-lot. It's about the size of a dime, so I thought it was a cheap child's ring and tossed it in the finds pouch with the other finds. Last night when I dumped out the finds, I saw a mark on the inside and took a closer look with...

    F75 (Std) Bags 4.4 Gram 22K Gold Ring

    I had to take a break from the computer yesterday so decided to hit the soccer field at a nearby park. I've been wanting to try out the new Garrett AT Pro and ended up trading my Teknetics G2 for an AT Pro a week earlier, so decided to give it a go. I swung it for almost an hour and found some...

    F75 (Std) Gets 13 Grams of Gold - Plus Past Silver Jewelry Finds

    Headed down to a local park/soccer field for a short hunt during lunch break today and ended up with my heaviest gold find. Even though this is a newer park with only clad coins, it's nice to get a break from the computer and get out and do some swinging for an hour. As I was cruising along...

    Question for Prep - Best way to Noise Cancel

    I read a post by Prep on the ETrac forum here http://www.findmall.com/read.php?63,1552345,1553068#msg-1553068, and, if I understood it correctly, noise canceling with the coil on the ground produced noticeably better results than when noise canceling with the coil in the air as recommended by...

    G2 Gets 24K Gold Ring from iron infested soccer field

    Took the G2 out this morning to a soccer field that is riddled with iron. It's a newer park so no chance of any old coins, but because of the extremely difficult hunting conditions, I had a feeling that it might hold a gold ring or two. The G2 hits so hard on gold range signals. The 3.7 gram...

    Is V3i/Vx3 in Wet Salt Beach as good as Minelab FBS?

    I've been thinking about unloading a couple of my detectors to try a Spectra (again). My Minelab Safari runs very smoothly in the wet salt mineralized sand, and I was wondering if the Spectra V3i would offer the same performance in those conditions. Thanks!

    Which Tesoro Model with CleanSweep for Jewelry?

    All of the detectors I've owned have had digital displays, but as most of the areas close to home are newer schools/parks/sports fields, I'm thinking that a CleanSweep coil and Tesoro detector would be a great combo for getting the most coverage to find gold jewelry. The jewelry probably won't...

    My take on the VX3

    I was expecting the V3X street price to be around $1000 -- man was I off. It will be interesting to see how many folks actually pony up the money to buy one.

    My take on the VX3

    While I understand that White's has their reasons for going with the 950 instead of the larger DD, I think it will hurt VX3 sales (at least for me and Southwind above). Sure I could buy another coil, but I'm not going to pay an extra $200+ to get more coverage and better separation that should...

    My take on the VX3

    Not long after the Vision v3 began shipping, I purchased one and then sold it a short time later because it didn't run smoothly where my other detectors did, and the number of adjustment options was daunting. With it's simplified menu the new VX3 has caught my attention (BTW: I also own a...

    Any AT Pro Users near Sacramento Want to Try a Teknetics G2 or Minelab Safari?

    Would any of you AT Pro users be interested in meeting at a park and swapping detectors for an hour or so? I've been eyeing the AT Pro for awhile but would like to give it a test run before buying. If you've ever been interested in trying the new Teknetics G2, a Minelab Safari, or Fisher F75...

    Make that Eleven (11) Safaris

    I finally laid out the $75 appraisal fee for the platinum & diamond ring I found one year ago today. I Think I just paid for a new Safari... or 2 or ...? The appraisal arrived in the mail yesterday, and at the appraised replacement value of $11,100, that would pay for 11 New Safaris. My wife...

    G2 Target ID for small gold nuggets?

    Does anyone know the ID range on the G2 for small gold nuggets? I don't have any to use for testing but live not too far from the gold discovery site in CA. Thanks!

    G2 - No Volume Control... Really?

    The G2 has held my interest since I first heard of it many months ago. Now that Christmas is getting close and the family is pressuring me for a Christmas list, I started doing some serious investigation and it appears that the G2 does not have a volume control. I may be the only person who...
