    Thoughts on Garrett Apex

    I had an Apex for a couple of months and I thought it was a nice detector for coin hunting. All of the features were useable and easily adjusted. I found the Multi-frequency to work best for me. I would say it is not a "depth demon", but is accurate to 7 inches or so. I found a handful of...

    Equinox is still sniffing out that silver...

    Felix, you have a great detecting site at this school. Hopefully it is a big area and it will give you many more days of detecting. In years past, if I found a spot like that, I would save it for future hunts. But, in today's world you have to hit a spot hard before the competition beats you to...

    Had A Strange Dig

    I got out to my favorite park Wed. and had a rare type of dig. I got the perfect 12-13 nickel signal on the 800 Nox. When I stuck my Lesche digger in the ground to start digging, it sort of cut with no resistance. In short order, I figured out that I was following the outline of someone's...

    WTH is this acceptable?????????????

    Unfortunately, this kind of stuff is everywhere. I ran into a guy last fall that was in the front yard of a school with a full sized shovel. I politely advised him that his type of digging would get this place and any other place put off limits to detecting. He told me he had a bad back and...

    My FIRST nickle and my FIRST dime today!

    I would say you are off to a great start. It took me over one year of detecting to find my first silver. Try digging some signals that are not crystal clear and you might find some items of interest.

    Funniest or Unusual find

    I found two gold crowns 5 feet apart at a local fairgrounds. I use to attend the fall fair that was held here and it was in concession row. Maybe caramel apples or something else hard and sticky. Found with Fisher F75 and both were in the nickel range. Only two I have ever found and found...

    The Best of the Best

    Rick, many years ago, you were the "go to guy" with Sovereign advice and I distinctly remember your advice helping me understand the Sovereign. Had to be over 20 years ago. Where does the time go!

    The Best of the Best

    My 25 plus years of detecting has been an evolution. Like many, I started with a cheap Bounty Hunter Land Star. I guess that detector got me "hooked". After that detector and a couple of others(I did not have too much money at that stage of my life) I got a Garrett GTAX 750 and I started finding...

    Confronted while detecting

    Years ago I was asked to leave a local park where a couple walking for exercise had been watching me detetect. I saw him leave the road and walk across the field toward me. I figured he was going to ask about how to use or get involved in the detecting, but he asked me to leave. He said there...

    Last haul of the year.....

    Felix, that is a season of nickels for most people. The 800 is one of the best nickel detectors made.

    Headphone Adapter

    Jeff, I am hooking it to the detector. I am using gray ghost phones. They do have a stereo mono switch, but there is no difference when I move the switch.

    Headphone Adapter

    I got a headphone adapter for Xmas for a backup to the wireless phones. I hooked it up today and it does not work. The manual (page 58) states" screw in adapter and headphone icon will appear on upper right screen" I am not getting the icon, nor are my wired phones working. Has anyone used the...

    Are the Safari detectors.......

    Del, I believe there is no drop off in performance. Where the Etrac excels is the target information and speed. If an you closed your eyes and listened to tone only, I doubt that you could tell the difference between the two. I like the interface of the Safari over all of the FBS detectors. Very...
