    How does temperature affect current and resistance?

    Greetings! I found the following statements related to the title on the Internet and they seem to suggest that it would be beneficial to metal detect during cool or cold weather to gain improved flow of electrical current in metals, as the inverse result of lower ohms or resistance. I've been...

    Minelab Musketeer Advantage, XS and XS Pro

    fwcrawford, Thanks for the E. & W. Treasures Oct. , 2002 magazine Ad for the Minelab Musketeer Advantage metal detector. I enlarged the photo of the Ad and was able to read all the features listed. This was further proof that the Advantage does not have Automatic Ground Tracking. Instead, it...

    WTB Minelab Musketeer Advantage

    Hi All ! :) I know the subject detector is long out of production and has the old analog circuit, but if someone has a nice undamaged fully operational Advantage to sell at a price that fits my budget (Including shipping and a hip-mount controI Box & battery pack bag (The eight penlight (AA)...

    Minelab Musketeer Advantage, XS and XS Pro

    earthlypotluck and fwcrawford, Thanks for your replies (Posts #9 and #10). I'm now convinced that the Minelab Musketeer Advantage doe NOT have Automatic Ground Tracking, and It’s either “fixed” in place or you have to manually GB. By "Fix" mode, I take this to mean that the circuit is "factory...

    Minelab Musketeer Advantage, XS and XS Pro

    fwcrawford, Thanks for the Comparison Chart ! I now see how you came to that conclusion, but how do we really know which one is correct, the Ad or the Comparison Chart ? #1..Maybe we could rely on the most current published date, i.e. when your catalog was printed versus when the Ad was...

    Minelab Musketeer Advantage, XS and XS Pro

    fwcrawford, How does the Advantage know when to give a false signal if it's circuit isn't tracking and analyzing the the ground mineralization ? ToddB64

    Minelab Musketeer Advantage, XS and XS Pro

    Hi fwcrawford ! :) As explained under the sub-title Ground Adjust Control at the top-left of manual page #12, I interpret the ad to mean that when in Fix mode, the control box circuit is automatically tracking the ground mineralization. If while detecting in this setting the ground...

    Minelab Musketeer Advantage, XS and XS Pro

    Hi All ! :) I'm investigating the subject metal detectors. I know they are long out of production and have the old analog circuits, but if someone has a nice undamaged fully operational Advantage to sell at the right price (Including shipping), I would like to know. I have the manuals saved...

    Garrett Pro-Pointer AT "Orange Carrot" Pin-pointer Battery Life.

    Thanks to everyone who has replied so far with their experiences about the battery life in their Garret Pro-Pointer AT. I started using Energizer Max Alkaline batteries when I first got my Garrett Pro-Pointer AT over 4 years ago, because that's what a Garrett Customer Service Technician...

    Garrett Pro-Pointer AT "Orange Carrot" Pin-pointer Battery Life.

    My subject pin-pointer seems to be draining batteries prematurely, and always has, so I finally decided to see if others are experiencing the same behavior with this model. #1.. I acquired this unit a little over 4 years ago, and have always used it at maximum sensitivity, with audio. #2...

    Initial setup on Tesoro Bandido II µMax to find clean ground for GB'ing.

    Hi bigtim1973 ! I don't know what happened, but I had just read cjm45's post # 8, dated Friday 9:17 PM where he said "Just bought a Bandito 2 umax cannot find a manual without turning over private information. Do you have any idea where to find one? Thank you.cjm45", so I thought he still...

    Initial setup on Tesoro Bandido II µMax to find clean ground for GB'ing.

    C.J.M., The original Owner's Manual for the Tesoro Bandido II µMax is 16 pages long and when I bought my used B2 micro-Max as a second (or maybe third) party used machine, the manual was missing by that time. However, Tesoro was still in business at that time, so I was able to download a pdf...
