    Tejon coil wraps

    Does it really matter which direction the coil cord is wrapped onto the rod? I saw where someone had advised wrapping the cord in a clockwise direction, so the cord didn't pass over the small center of the coil. Seems to me that would put more stress on the strain relief and as long as the cord...

    Sending in stock coil for broken ear

    I got down my stock coil to put it back on and I noticed that the ear is broken. Do I call Minelab to get some kind of repair number or just send it in to get it fixed? The machine is still under warranty. TIA, Bill

    digital vs analog depth comparison

    Has anyone ever compared the last crop of mostly analog detectors to the newer generation of digital machines, for depth? It seems to me that with the digital machines they have to be overdriven to accomplish the same depth as the last of the analog machines. I won't mention brand names as I...

    Rehunting old CW sites

    Are any of you guys visiting sites that you used to visit, with some of the newer machines, and still finding stuff? When you return to well worked sites do you start digging everything in an effort to uncover deeper stuff?

    The Sovereign and newer coils

    With the Advantage I know that coils are backwards compatible but not forwards. Is it the same thing with the Sovereigns? Like if I acquired an older "The Sovereign", could I use one of the newer Tornado Slimline coils on it?

    Detector Design

    How are the main detector companies designing their machines? Seems to me that the business end is really at the coil and if the coil isn't suited for the task, it doesn't matter what processor is connected to it. I realized this in comparing setups on a few of my detectors and masking is almost...

    Ground balancing and Sensitivity with the Musketeer

    With regards to gb'ing the Minelab Musky Advantage I've seen it mentioned that the way a certain person ground balances his Musky Advantage is by incorporating his sensitivity into the process, so as to get maximum balance between it and ground balance. Is this critical to depth with this...

    Sov GT and Musketeer Advantage- physical comparison?

    Does the Sov GT box weigh about the same as the Musketeer Advantage? And, does the Sovereign box fit in the same clip arrangement as the Musketeer? I thinking that if I can ever get my hands on a Sovereign I'll take the Advantage off the straight rod I have and mount the Sovereign in its place...

    Coinshooting Old Schools in the South

    Does anyone coinshoot old schools in GA, MS, TN, or AL? I have good info on the locations for a number of the old school houses and was wondering if there's even a few coins usually found? I know these folks were poor for the most part, but it seems that there ought to be some IHs at least...

    Coinshooting and Progressive Discrimination

    I was looking at metals conductivity list and I started to wonder why some people use a nickle to set their discrimination when coinshooting. Since nickles are actually made of a large percentage of copper it actually puts them higher on the conductivity scale than gold. Granted, if coinshooting...

    Relic Hunting for Dummies

    Imagine you were writing this book because you have years of invaluable experience. What tips would you be passing along? Like how do you look at a piece of ground and figure out where to start? How best to handle hard ground or roots? At what point do you figure its time to move on when hunting...

    Solid coil cover for 10" Slimline coil?

    Does anyone know if Minelab makes or has made a solid bottom cover for the 10" Slimline coils? Would make hunting in the woods a bit easier. TIA, Bill

    Warning to New Relic Hunters

    Be careful who you trust. I've been had by three individuals that I know of, since I started relic hunting three years ago. The first was a guy that was salting his own property with relics from a site that he was working (and not sharing) and then going out to any sites I shared, while I was at...

    Is it masking or is it depth?

    Most relic hunters are fixated on getting maximum depth out of their machines, because to do so might reveal goodies missed by others. This seems to be borne out by the fact that when a known relic producing area is stripped for construction, all kinds of goodies start popping up for those lucky...

    Optimal size coil?

    When using a smaller coil (6", 7", or 8") what would be the optimal size when considering separation and depth, when hunting in a somewhat trashy area and you want to hit targets 6"- 8" deep? Would a DD coil be better for this or a concentric if you're in moderate to good ground?

    Analog vs. digital

    I've noticed there are lot of guys still using analog or analog/digital hybrids. Will digital ever live up to the image that Analog had, of a durable machine, ease of use, stable signal,and whisper signals that were just a bump in the threshold? Seems to me that machines are getting more...

    Using AA Lithium Ultimates in a Minelab

    Is it possible to use these batteries in a Minelab Advantage? The batteries are higher than 1.5 volts (more like 1.7). Is there a voltage regulator built-in to these machines?

    Dusting off a Dinosaur

    Is there anyone that reads this forum and has been detecting for more than 20 years? Ok, out of that show of hands, how many still have an old detector that they used to detect with in the 1980s? Have you ever compared it to a modern, top-of-the-line machine? Would someone be willing to do it...

    WTT X-terra 50 for Tesoro Tejon or Eldorado

    I have an X-terra 50 that's in perfect shape. Was sent back to Minelab for a few minor things and works like new now. I just don't use it because I have an X-terra 705 and an X-terra 70. I would love to add a Tesoro back to the lineup. The catch is, unless you're a well known user of this forum...
