    Guess who left old batteries too long in their Nokta Impact?

    I use either lemon juice or vinegar on corroded alkaline battery terminals. Then clean up with distilled water. Picketwire is correct for alkaline batteries. Baking soda is for lead acid battery terminal clean up.

    Need parts please. Fisher CZ-7a QuickSilver.

    Like this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/231514945694?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338590836&toolid=10044&customid=e21b83e3e7c112927a44eba138e16e59&gclid=e21b83e3e7c112927a44eba138e16e59

    Need parts please. Fisher CZ-7a QuickSilver.

    I'd set it up with AA batteries rather than 9 volts. Batteries will cost a lot less that way. Although the manual says it uses one 9 volt battery per side. https://www.colonialmetaldetectors.com/assets/images/Product_Manuals/Fisher_Products/CZ-7a_Manual_english.pdf

    Need parts please. Fisher CZ-7a QuickSilver.

    For the coil hardware; get some nylon hardware at a hardware store. The picture looks like a battery box is there. Is it just a cover missing? Should be able to test it without the covers.

    Anyone else??

    Reminds me a bit about the couple of times I've been detecting a crowded beach and someone would throw a coin somewhat in front of the direction I've been moving to see it I get it.

    Has SMF reached the depth of P.I. detectors like the Infinium and Seahunter?

    Would like to see a pulse width adjustment added to the AQ so that the bigger pieces of gold can be lit up more. Great videos by the way!

    Yard sale gold

    Found these 14K earrings in a box of jewelry at a yard sale. Got them for $4. They weigh 2.6 grams and wife loves them. Have no idea if the little stones are any good or not, but they do show colors refracted in the sunlight.

    Has SMF reached the depth of P.I. detectors like the Infinium and Seahunter?

    I remember the testing you did with that CZ and how deep it was. On the deep gold it heard it well but went full low tone (iron) on it in discriminate mode. Shortly after that I started hunting my CZs in autotune (all metal) and learning to listen to signal width to help identify targets. Thank...

    continuing thought on lack of beach finds......

    Chairs and umbrellas are rented all along Daytona Beach. They are so expensive to rent that when we flew into the area, we would buy chairs and an umbrella at walmart and give them away to others on the beach on the last day of the trip. Now that we are retired, we drive there and take our own.

    continuing thought on lack of beach finds......

    I've seen ice cream carts on the beach (the ones where one person is pushing them up and down the beach looking for sales) where they have card swipe terminals for sales transactions. Talked with one of the gals last summer and she said they prefer that because it reduces the chances of being...

    Need advice - lost ring

    The erratic readings and erratic beeping could very well be the fence. The user manual can be read here: https://www.minelab.com/__files/f/414492/4901-0300-2%20Inst%20Manual%20VANQUISH%20340%20EN_WEB.pdf

    Need advice - lost ring

    When it is jumping around when at the same spot, what is the audio doing? Is it giving a clear tone on a target? If it is just bouncing around randomly and it is interference, turn the sensitivity down until the detector quiets down and is stable.

    Any Siesta Keys beach hunters here ??

    I've detected Sanibel Island. Not posted, was not an issue. Lots of people. Was able to find and return a pair of 14K earrings a lady laid on her blanket and lost when she flipped the blanket to get sand off it without thinking about the earrings. This was about six years ago.
