    Could this be the origin of some "off limits" spots:

    I am thinking of a particular location, that for several decades now, rumor has it amongst hobbyist's ranks, that it is "off limits". I don't want to say the name of the place, lest it merely start a minutia rules debate, over whether it really is, or isn't, off-limits. That part, for the...

    Question for those that have used ARA refiners:

    Question for those that have used ARA refiner's co: I want to know if they accept war nickels. And how about foreign silver coins? (which are sometimes .720, or .80 pure, etc.. and not .90 like our US silver coins). The reason I ask is, Midwest specifically says they do NOT accept war...

    Question for those of the Pentecostal/charismatic persuasion:

    I am a frequent poster on the regular metal detecting topic sections. This is my first post on this sub-section forum. I have a question for anyone here who is within denominations of the Pentecostal, charismatic, etc... venues of Christian doctrinal persuasion/thought: My particular Church...

    beach detecting in other countries

    My sister married a French native many years ago. They live in the USA now, but have all their in-laws over there in France still. Their part of France is near the border of Spain. I have spoken to my brother-in-law many times about tagging along with him some day, when they do their...

    Anyone finding gold in parks full of pulltabs?

    Nick, you say you read of "several users commenting that tabs read differently from gold" Funny, but I KNEW, when this machine came out, that claims like this would be put forth. It was no different than when the Spectrum (and XLT, etc...) first came out: Persons mused if they could...

    Why am I still hitting on pulltabs....

    If you are in a program (or even a custom program of your own) that is set to "knock out pulltabs", you have to keep this in mind: "pulltabs" can come in many different sizes and shapes. When you start include bent/folded-over ones, chopped ones, different sizes from different brands of soda...

    Explorer pitted against 6000 di pro results

    A friend of mine wanted to get into detecting, so he asked me for my advice on what detector to get. I wanted him to get something fairly easy to start with, and fairly versatile, so I suggested a 6000 di pro. As you know, that's a fairly easy and versatile machine, verses the tooty-fluty...

    Question about Excal. repair prices

    For those of you who have sent in an Excaliber for repair, in Las Vegas, what was the price you paid? I'm thinking of sending one in that is absolutely hosed. I've done my own mickey-mouse hipmount job years ago, I've installed my own 2nd set of headphone in it long ago (so the box has...

    Difference between the difference Silver Sabres?

    What is the difference between the different generations/incarnations of the Silver Sabre that Tesoro has produced over the years? I'm wanting to get one for the "averaging" ability these 2-filter machines are known for. Ie.: not as prone to masking. You can set it to *just barely* reject...

    Explorer verses Musketeer Advantage on wet salt beach

    I'm quite satisfied with my Explorer on wet salt beaches in my area. Only when I wander into real nasty minerals (tell-tale d/t the gunpowder grey/black color of the sand) does it act up. For moderate minerals, salts, etc... it has made a great wet beach machine. My question is: I'm...

    Minelab "Musketeer" same as "Musketeer Advantage"?

    Is there a difference between a "Musketeer" and the currently sold "Musketeer Advantage"? Are they one and the same, simply a shortened name of the same machine? Or was there an evolution, of having been an original "Musketeer", and now evolved to a "Musketeer Advantage"? If so, what is the...

    Geographic parts of the USA w/no Explorers?

    A friend and I were musing over whether there are still parts of the USA (like certain states, areas, etc...) where the Explorer hasn't caught on yet. Since the Explorer, in general, is still fairly new in the USA, and only still catching on in some zones, it stands to reason that some states...

    Explorer VS other makes

    Not sure how many CA folks post here, but there's a local CA specific forum: "Kinzli forum", where those of us from here post back & forth. Every so often, over the past 5 or 6 yrs, 15 to 20 of us will descend on a big meadow in Golden Gate Park (San Francisco's answer to New York's Central...

    Winter storms of 1982-83, CA

    Anyone here that was hunting the beach erosion during the 1982-83 "El Nino" storms here on the CA coast? Any astounding stories of massive target counts? I was new to beach storms then. Only had a Garrett that maxed out at perhaps 4" on wet salt :( Also didn't understand the swells, tides...
