    Underwater recovery of a lost Pile Driver head?

    Hi, yesterday my dad told me the details of what happened in the early 1960's(getting close to 50 years ago) when he was employed to run pump(s) to run water over the existing ice in the very cold winter time on a freshwater lake in the north. Why? Because the ice was built up thicker so it...

    MDing with 1 unit and 2 people in a team?

    MDing with 1 unit and 2 people in a team. The first person running the Metal Detector, and the second person using a handheld barrel probe Pinointer (also maybe along with at Tesoro Campdre w/5.75 coil with the shaft set at its shortest length) and Digging Tools. Either, the team stays close...

    Old MXT's same as new ones??

    Are the very first MXT's that came out in about 2002(I think?) the exact same in everyway(upgrades?) as the newest ones available new today in 2009?? (Yes I know about the new MXT-300 has a 12" coil and I also know the electronic guts inside are the same as a regular new MXT.) Why? Because...

    S.E.F.'s on the MXT?

    What is the verdict of using the S.E.F. Butterfly Coils on the MXT ?? A winner and better than the stock coils, or not ? Thank you. http://www.kellycodetectors.com/excelerator/EXcelleratorMain.htm

    Lobo ST

    Can anyone very briefly please answer even one question, or maybe more below about the Lobo ST is appreciated: 1) I wonder why in Discrimination Mode the Lobo ST has a Fixed GB, and why Tesoro did NOT put on at least a Manual GB or have the existing Auto GB work in the Discrimination Mode...

    70 vs 705 for gold nuggets.

    3 frequencies with one coil?

    I never did find this out. Why can the Minelab Eureka Gold change to 3 different frequencies with the flip of a switch on the same coil, without changing coils?? When our X-Terra's need to change coils for each frequency. What is the reason that Minelab engineers can't make a X-Terra with one...

    After winter run with the X-70.

    I just got out with the X-70 with the stock coil after a long cold winter with lots of snow, in a very trashy area. It was like a pinball machine, so I knocked everything below a penny. I found only 4 newer pennies no older than the 1970's, nothing good to write home about but a trial run. It...

    Which very large size coil PI's have good performance for the $ ?

    I am looking at buying a very large coil type of PI machine such as below. I heard they will NOT work in the goldfields high mineralized soils but WILL only work in low mineral areas like farmers fields. The brands I know are Pulse Star II Pro, Lorenz, Deepers, and Detech models. I see...

    Interchanging.

    Did anyone contact a dealer or directly to Minelab and find out if only the X-Terra 705 control box and Instruction Manual can be purchased without the 3 piece shaft and coil, at any reduction in price?? Why someone may ask? To save some money, and one example is if someone has an older...

    How much does new GB Tracking and Offset improve gold prospecting?

    1) I looked at them all and just personally I could live without all of the new upgrades on the X-705, except I am a gold prospector as well and all the new improved GB's including the new Tracking GB and new Tracking Offset has me wondering if all this will help me search how much better while...

    No Forum for..

    Long Range treasure finding units. Off topic but I want to put something to light here on the Forum I post most on. Can I please ask some questions. I see in so many different advertisements in treasure magazines and for only one example like in the 2008 Nov/Dec issue of Gold Prospectors...

    Which machine for Relic Hunting?

    A high frequency GMT machine is not necessary for relics and probably makes the situation much worse. Only to be used for micro small gold and meteorites. There are very few if none, micro small relics. A lower frequency machine IS much better for your valuable iron, brass, and lead mini ball...

    Bench testing(in the winter or anytime).

    I went into a hardware store and got a whole bunch of plastic paint stir sticks. You can glue gun, tape, plain glue, caulk, epoxy, or tie, etc. different objects near the end of each stir stick. Save some of your trash for this. Both, a whole variety trash and goodies. It is more handy if you...

    How to cut down on trash?

    What I am taking away from the charts is: A 14 Kt gold ring can read 10, 20, or 26. All gold rings can vary from 10 to 40. ALSO coins start at 10 with the V, Buffalo, Shield, Jeff, and 40% silver nickles all starting at 10 and 12. If a person is ring, jewelry, and coin hunting every number...

    Spectacular recent coin hit in the UK.

    Do you think the finder used a Long Range detector like a Thomas Electroscope or some other dowsing rods like Anderson or Fitzgerald, etc. to find this gold coin hoard in a large field? Naw, all long distance finders are all fly by night hokey and do not work. The only thing that works is...

    Rapid speed hunting.

    >>I heard from someone below about the X-70,<< that the Prospecting Mode searches slower than the Coin & Treasure Mode if it is true. So for searching large homesteads and relic fields the Coin & Treasure Mode may cover more ground in a day? But I know it is not as deep. Most would probably use...

    Tejon vs Vaquero in depth.

    I know the Tejon is more expensive, about 3/4 or .78 of a pound heavier (2.98-2.2=.78 lb.), and has 2 disc. controls. BUT between the Tejon (at 17 kHz) and the Vaquero (at 14 kHz), with the same size coils, how much more depth does the Tejon have I would like to know?? Does someone know either...
