    Nokta Scores Spectacular Gold Specimen

    I held off on posting about this one for a bit while I got around to some unfinished business. Since my move from Alaska I have been slow to get another safe deposit box set up. I have always had one for my gold and other important valuables. The problem with posting about this stuff on the...

    White's Surf PI Dual Field

    I got this detector in January as a backup unit for a trip to Hawaii. That, and I have used many previous White's Surf Pi models in the past and wanted to give the Dual Field a spin. The detector only got used once one day for about four hours. The two year transferable factory warranty is good...

    XP Deus With WS4 Phones, Remote, 9" Coil

    I purchased this 9/17/2014 so five year transferable warranty good until 9/16/2019. I took exceptional care to not get the unit scratched or dirty so except for scratches on the scuff coil bottom the unit is like new. The standard package here is the DEUS-WS4 which comes with the WS4 Backphone...

    Anybody Have Questions on the FORS Gold, Just Ask!

    I have been busy elsewhere lately but will go out of my way to answer any questions here people may have about the Nokta FORS Gold. That's it, I know nothing about the other models, though the FORS Gold is nearly identical to the FORS CoRe. The main difference is the CoRe has a salt water beach...

    New Banner Up Topside!

    Finally, a new banner for the forum. I am sure mine was boring the heck out of everyone after all this time - this one is much prettier. Thank you to the good folks at Nokta!

    ATX and Nevada Gold Nugget

    I just got back from prospecting in northern Nevada, with this fabulous 0.85 oz nugget found with the Garrett ATX. Great country and great gold, it just does not get any better - thanks Garrett!

    FS 8" Mono Coil Garrett Infinium

    I bought an 8" round mono coil for the Garret Infinium to possibly use on my ATX and then found out they will not work on the ATX. So this coil is brand new - it has never been used. I will sell it for $89 including free USPS Priority Mail shipping to the U.S. I can accept PayPal or US Postal...

    Settings for EMI

    I suggested this to White's way back in the beginning when it became obvious EMI would be an issue in some locations. The Bigfoot coil is by its nature an anti interference coil and eliminates the problem almost entirely. It however suffers for depth and is no longer available at a reasonable...

    Found V3i Nirvana!

    Personally I find it easier to detect a ring than an 1800s coin. Every silver dug is one less silver, but jewelry constantly replenishes. No good jewelry location can ever be said to be worked out. No need for plugging either, a screwdriver is all you need. But the bottom line a DFX and Clive...

    Found V3i Nirvana!

    I posted earlier about giving the V3i another go. In my previous life in Anchorage, Alaska the V3i was plagued with EMI problems. The machine really appeals to my inner detector nerd, but I gave up on it after three separate units all failed miserably in parks and schoolyards in Anchorage. Main...

    Fisher F75 Strikes Gold Twice in a Row!

    I am a big fan of the Fisher F75 from a different perspective than most. I am a prospector and have done very well finding gold nuggets with the F75. The very powerful all metal mode combined with the simultaneous on screen target id numbers have allowed me to quickly and efficiently hunt trashy...

    Nokta FORS Gold Finds Gold!

    I am glad AzViper stirred the pot to get the ball rolling to have Nokta send me a new Nokta FORS Gold for evaluation. I will be honest and admit I never considered getting a Nokta simply because they are a company I knew nothing about from Turkey. I guess I am chicken that way but I tend to...

    Giving the V3i Another Go

    I rarely experience VDI numbers getting pulled higher. Possible causes are ground mineralization, flakes of rust in the ground, or both. More common are VDI number getting pulled lower, all the way into ferrous for the deepest targets in mineralized ground. All brands do it. Metal detector...

    Giving the V3i Another Go

    I got a good deal on eBay on a V3i with 20 months remaining warranty, not a scratch on it. I called Whites and got registration in my name and reset everything to factory defaults. Gave it a spin in my local park and no EMI issues to speak of. Fantastic, Reno and the V3i get along. I have always...

    Deus for Gold Prospecting

    Well, I finally broke down and have a new XP Deus on the way. I mainly want to try the new Gold Field program out against some more traditional prospecting detectors. I am rather intent on getting my first gold coin, though, and I figure the Deus is just the machine for looking around old...

    Giving the V3i Another Go

    I have a DFX and had a new Vision in my hands as soon as they came out. Man, I really loved that detector, except for one thing. I was living in Anchorage, Alaska at the time, and all the parks and schools have buried power lines. The Vision went nuts everywhere I wanted to hunt. So I sold it...

    Got Another F75

    I have been an F75 fan for some time now, but sold my last one about a year ago after I got to Reno, NV and found out it did not play well with EMI (electro magnetic interference) around here. I just got another one and was pleased to find it handles the EMI better than my old one did, and was...

    How and Why I Review Metal Detectors - Full Disclosure

    I find myself in the position of having a large number of metal detectors recently acquired or headed my way. I plan to review these detectors soon on various forums and have published my thoughts on various detectors for many years. Many people may be familiar with who I am but many are not...

    SDC 2300 Scores Again

    I just met a friend to go on what he described as "an arduous hike" into Northern California gold country. I have not lived out of a backpack in many years, so I had to get my gear together in as reasonably light a package as possible for four nights in the wild. The core was built around my new...
