    Helping a boy to improve his target retrieval speed

    I've been taking my 11-year-old son out relic hunting with me and he was having trouble finding his targets without my help today. I was wondering if anyone here has taught their son how to relic hunt and what kind of tips they might have on improving his retrieval technique.

    The Value of Old Maps in Relic Hunting

    I'm starting to really, really realize that without old maps the accounts we read and then try to locate are almost next to impossible. I was convinced that the new road in an area we're searching follows the old road pretty closely, based on some hand-drawn maps of the period. Wrong! I was...

    FS: White's Lower rods

    I have two unused lower rods I bought for the MXT, when I had it. $10 for the pair, plus shipping. I don't have washers for them (didn't come that way). If interested you can email me at wlwalter77 at hotmail dot com. Thanks, Bill W.

    Nice environmental cover

    I broke down and bought an environmental cover for my 705 off the bay. I bought from the place over in England and gotta say it is worth the $28 it cost me, mostly because it has a velcro cover that allows the batteries to be removed or changed without removing the cover. No financial...

    F70 Faceplate Environmental cover

    I found out that I still have the environmental cover for a detector I got rid of (apparently I had two). Make me an offer if you need one. Shipping will be $4. Bill W.

    Has anyone ever seen wrought iron like this?

    Found on an early to mid 1800's site, this wrought iron was in good shape, but obviously broken. Has anyone ever seen a wrought iron chain or could this be off a wagon?

    Why no Musketeer Advantage section?

    I just changed out the stock rod that came with the Musketeer detector with a straight rod (kudos to Plugger) and it has made this a fantastic balanced detector with a remarkable 8" DD coil. I hate gushing but, I can't wait to give this detector a real workout with my new setup. One thing I...

    Troy Shadow X-5 Coils

    I know they don't make these detectors anymore, but does anyone know if you can still get coils for them? Bill

    Anyone relic hunt with a Troy Shadow X-5?

    I'm thinking about a trade for an X-5 and not sure if this will fit the bill. Anybody ever had one or is currently using one to relic hunt? What do you like or dislike about it? Feel free to PM as I need some real opinions and not a sales job. TIA. Bill

    Anyone ever shortened a coil cable?

    The 8" coil on an Advantage has the same longer cable as the other coils, that enables hipmounting the machine, but it seems that it would save a good amount of weight to only have what is necessary and then mount the box under the armrest for better balance. How hard would it be to shorten a...

    Coil cable length?

    Has Minelab ever made a shorter cable version of the 8" coil for a Musketeer Advantage? I know this is not a Musketeer forum, but its closest we have on Findmall. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Low frequency vs Higher for Relic Hunting

    If low frequency (say 5khz)works well in good ground (and bad) and a higher frequency (say 18khz) only works well in good ground. Why not have most of the relic hunting machines at a low frequency? Afterall, most of the relics being sought are at least dime size or larger. What would be the...

    Wiggle and Depth?

    I was doing some air test comparisons between coils tonight on my 705 and I noticed I could squeeze out an additonal 1/2" or better if I moved the target rapidly under the coil and when I slowed to a crawl at the same distance it wouldn't register at all. Has anyone tried that on a questionable...

    Power difference

    Why is it some detectors take 4 AA's and some take 8 AA's? A lot of the old analog machines took 8 AA's and it seems that quite a number of the newer digital detectors take 4. Is it because it take less power to drive a digital machine? Could the digital machines have more depth or computing...

    Has anyone conducted this coil comparison?

    Has anyone compared the 5 X 10 18.75 khz DD coil to the 6" 18.75 DD coil for depth and separation?

    Any longtime users of X-terra 50 or 70?

    I was looking through old posts and it looks like people initially get their X-terra and are happy with it and then something turns them off and they move on to something else. Is it because of the few problems that have crept up (like turning itself on, or going bonkers because of a board...

    8.5" Widescan coil on Tejon?

    Has anyone tried the 8.5" Widescan coil on the Tejon? Did it give good depth and separation?

    Real Capability of TID?

    I'm getting disillusioned with TID machines, so I thought I would ask. What is the realistic Target Identification depth (readout, not just sound) you can expect to get with something like an Explorer or even an Etrac (since they seem to be the preferred VLF depth monsters)? Now, I know...

    Hunting with the Tejon (a little long)

    I used to have a couple of Tesoros. In fact, I started with a Cibola. It was a great little detector to learn on, but ultimately I traded it away because I felt I was still digging too much junk and almost no goodies. I had started to hear the crackle of junk vs. the sound of good stuff, but I...
