    I may have been wrong about the Sovereigns

    I finally braved a couple of short hunts with the Elite at some iron infested ghost town sites. Nothing great but I learned a few things. I had never used my Sovereigns that I had in the past for this type of hunting because of the slow recovery speed but I have to tell you I may have been...

    8" EXcelerator Concentric coil revisited?

    I used the search function to go through past posts about the concentric coil and see that some people love them and others didn't care for them. I saw where the concentric coil didn't do well when run through a meter or probe and was wondering if the people that gave bad reports tried it...

    Help with possible bad coil?

    Does anyone know how many wires are soldered to the connector on the Advantage coils? I pulled the connector apart and see that there are 4 wires but only 3 are soldered to the connector. I can't tell if the black wire was soldered at one time or not. I didn't see any wire fall out either. It...

    Is there a control box cover for the Elite or GT when rod mounted?

    I seem to remember something called a wrap cover but I can't seem to find anything using the search option. Thanks!

    No gold today but lots of digging.

    Good exercise anyway. The Sovereign Elite was hitting targets deep on the beach today so I don't think I would have missed any gold if my coil would have gone over it.

    Took the Elite to the beach today and I'm worn out.

    Hunted around a swimming/fishing dock about 2 blocks from my house. No jewelry today but the coins were coming fast. This beach is highly mineralized but some of these coins were 12-15 inches down. There was still tons of deep targets around this dock site to be gotten but I was worn out. One...

    First hunt with the Elite and a question?

    Took my new Elite to an old park for it's first hunt. Picked up a couple of Indians, some wheat's, a big sterling brooch and ring and some foreign coin. One end of the park is infested with iron and trash where some old buildings once stood that burned down. I tried the single tone option and...

    INTRUDER S-8 or 8 inch Coin Search coil?

    Any performance differences between the S-8 and 8 inch Coin Search coil? I have an Elite coming this week with stock 10 inch coil. I have an older 8 inch Coin Search coil from one of my older Sovereigns I use to own but don't know if it still works after sitting unused in the garage for 2 years...

    Best beach machine for the worst beaches.

    I'm looking for a beach detector that will handle old pre to early 1900's dock sites that are really rocky with black sand and lots of decomposing iron. I'm not sure the Minelabs would do well with all the big and small iron at these sites along with the Fishers. I'm wondering about the Whites...

    WTB: Whites 9 1/2 inch coil for XLT/XL Pro/ IDX Pro.

    I would prefer the newest style but I'm not picky. Thanks!

    Modified IDX Pro makes a dandy beach machine.

    I don't beach hunt very often even though I live across the street from a nice beach but we had some super low tides today so I hit the beach today with my Mr. Bills modified IDX Pro. I hunted around and under a local fishing/swimming dock using the little 5.3 Bullseye coil because this site is...

    Does the new white's

    Your exactly right. That's how forums function. Information is constantly changing and being updated as more people gain experience and time in the field in different parts of the country under different hunting conditions.

    Cherry picking with the Vision?

    During the winter months all my detecting is focused on relics and coins around old lumber mill ghost towns and logging camps. During the summer months I do a little beach hunting and cherry picking silver in our older parks and lawns. My Whites 5900/6000 and XL Pro has done an excellent job as...

    My Minelab Blows the Vision Away for Depth

    "My sense, based on observation of reported results, is that in most ground conditions, the e-trac will outperform the Vision in terms of depth and trash seperation." You must be kidding? What tests or reports have you observed that would lead you to that conclusion?

    My first gold coin in

    I bet that was a thrill. See you need to listen to your better half more often. I've been fortunate enough to find three gold coins through the years hunting old lumber mill ghost towns and logging camps. Congrats!
