    Help with blank screen issue

    My explorer II just developed the following phenomenom: It turns on fine, but there's utterly nothing on the screen. It's back-lit ok, for the first 10 seconds or whatever (normal timing fashion), but is just a blank screen, the whole time. Although I can't see anything on the screen, I can...

    Links to a Beach Cleaner Co's devices:

    I'm in the street sweeper business, so as such, I'm on a mailing list for an electronic newsletter, in-so-far as it relates to industry items. Sometimes there's a little blurb on something to do with beach-cleaners. This info struck my fancy, so I thought I'd share with you guys. Great...

    Anyone here using killer-B's with their tesoro ? If so, question:

    I realize that the mono-tone beep-or-no-beep 2-filter machines don't require a super-duper quality headphone set. Since they are not so reliant of subtle tones and pitches, as a full tone-TID machine (like an explorer) is, for instance. But if anyone here IS using killer-B's with their...

    Tesoro headphone jack question

    Hey gang: I have a silver sabre in my arsenal. And whenever I reach for it (for nail-riddled ghost-townsy type environments), I'm having the following problem: I'm using my standard headphones that I use with explorer II. But when I go to plug them in to the silver sabre, I notice that they...

    Here's a true story to shed light on the "do you dig zinc" question

    Here's more food-for-thought on the subject of whether and when to dig zinc signals. This only has to do with turf, and wouldn't apply to things like relicky sites, beaches, etc.... There was a particular fellow I corresponded with over email and forum posts, on a md'ing forum for our area...

    Strange Reply

    This is quite common when asking old-town demolition contractors "can I hunt this exposed dirt after you guys cut out for the day?" The contractor might say with a wink: "Well, I have to tell you no. But what I don't see after 5pm won't hurt me". Another time I was hunting a ghost-town...

    Check out my customized scoop

    Bought this long-handled stainless steel scoop, and customized it for single-arm action (like a sort of a hip-mount style). The length needed to be such that if I had my arm relaxed at my side, that the scoop doesn't drag the ground (hence, a hair off the ground). Because if the scoop touches...

    Teknetics Condor and Eagle difference?

    What is the difference between the Teknetics "Condor" and the Teknetics "Eagle" ? They both came out in the mid to late 1980s, and they were both 3-filter designs. They were supposed to be a different variation of the earlier faster swing 4-filter Tek's of that era, yet better in minerals than...

    My customized scoop design (saves on back and knees)

    Here's a pix of how I've customized a long handle (or can be done starting with a short-handled) sand scoop. As you can see, you put an arm cuff, which you can either get from any number of old "hip-mounts" for metal detectors, or you can get from those medical supply co. places that sell...

    Advice for Nimbus, and others about how best to learn the ET sounds:

    For everyone in Nimbus' predicament, here's some good advice for starting with any of the explorers (ETs, XS, II, SE, etc..). For starters, take it to a place that's prolific with clad (junky modern parks, that no one else, hunts, for instance, or at least, where no one mines the clad from the...

    test post #2 n/t

    The next facet to you question: Yes, the parks are mostly hunted for coins/old silver only, and yes, people mostly pass up foil, tabs, and so forth, ever since the creation of the first discriminators starting in the mid to late 1970s. So pity the poor fellow who tries to go to junky parks...

    Test Post n/t

    This is a post, paragraph by paragraph, to find out which words are banned: Bob, your question has many facets. For starters, here's the obvious: yes gold jewelry reads in the various TID ranges that aluminum (tabs, slaw, foil, etc...) read in. There's no getting around that, no matter how...

    How can you tell "banned" words?

    Hey guys: I recently tried to post something, but get an error message that I've used a "banned word". So I totally scroll through my post, and no words are 4 letter bad words at all. The error message does not high-light any words (so that the person receiving this message knows the word...

    Anyone getting ran off from city or county parks???

    Sounds like a noble idea you have, to donate all the value of the clad to some noble purpose. Thus when and/or if you ever got booted (in the absence of any real rule or law specific to the issue) then the cop would look like a real meanie kill-joy for denying someone the opportunity to do a...

    Critique of Tony Diana's "Basic Ear Training for Excalibur" CD

    Recently, the topic of any machine's (or anybody's) ability to tell the difference between aluminum and gold came up on a forum discussion. A particular person chiming in on that debate, who was on the side of saying it *could* be done, with practice, gave the following CD as their rationale...

    Gold verses aluminum, via "Tony Diana" ear-training cd

    The discussion of a detector, or user's, ability to tell the difference between aluminum and gold, came up on another forum here. I, like most, will say that there is just too many infinate varieties, shapes, sizes, and wads of aluminum, and too many infinate varieites of gold rings/jewelry...
