    CoilTek 5x10" and 15" Equinox coils F/S

    I bought the 5x10. He may still have the 15”.

    Crazy hunt-over 60 silver half dollars!

    i was invited to a site where some crazy silver finds have been made… I did a video because I’m still a little lacking for words!

    Deepseeker-what can it do?

    The DS package for the ATX has caught my attention lately! However, I’m wondering if anybody has found a large target at any real depth? Basically I want to know if it could hit something bean pot to strongbox size at 6 to 7 feet?

    So the Axiom, think its curtins for the Atx

    I was just discussing this yesterday with one of my prospecting buddies in Arizona. He was on a video with Andy from Andy and Amy’s Arizona adventures showing the Axiom and the GPX6000. He told me that the axiom looks like it will be a good machine based on what he saw in an area where all the...

    Just saw this Manticore video

    Good video to see how the 2D works and generally the VDI. Air tests being what they are, I expect those numbers won’t all be exact in the ground! Waiting for more tests from Calabash to see comingled iron… Looking pretty good so far!

    New version NOX / Old version NOX

    I feel like I got lucky with mine. Had it since the first release and other than a screen issue that resolved with FR, I have not had any issues. Now I have replaced the shaft with a carbon fiber telescoping shaft, also reinforced the coil ears. From the waterproofing standpoint not much I could...

    NEW EQ 700 & 900 Just Announced 99 TID

    I have mixed feelings about the new equinox as well, considering that I have added a carbon fiber telescoping shaft, as well as a folding control box, and also reinforced my coil ears, so really the only difference now is just how much more performance… I had been considering the manticore, but...

    Manticore presale going for 2k online

    I DONT think we’ve found the beef yet, lol! Between all my hobbies I think I need to have my head examined sometimes! It’s everything. The consumerism mindset tells us that we NEED every new widget because our old ones have suddenly become useless in light of the new fangled gizmo-they literally...

    Manticore presale going for 2k online

    There’s such a laundry list of costs that come to mind, and I know I don’t know all of them! You are right about the younger generation, I see it every day and wonder how the heck they can afford what they have, let alone some of the houses I see them buying. It’s got to be credit I guess...

    Manticore presale going for 2k online

    The market determines whether the price is fair, and performance will dictate how long the price stays the same, or how much the next machine will sell for. Witness the GPZ 7000- it hit the market at $10,000 per copy! Even so sales were brisk for the number one most powerful gold detecting...

    Nuggetshooting in the Big Az!

    Saw you asked about my YouTube link-if you look up Randy’s Treasure Adventures you’ll find me! I haven’t done any videos in a while (jtoo busy with work), but hope to again next week and continuing after that..

    Nuggetshooting in the Big Az!

    I just used gold one. I wasn’t really using the 800 for most of my prospecting, more in the old camp areas hoping for relics. I do think I’ll take it back out next trip and spend a day using it only for nugget hunting just to see if I’ve missed any tiny gold with the SDC. I haven’t had any...

    Minelab Manticore

    I’m with ya there. In the goldfields people would ’hotrod’ the older SD machines by amping up battery power, but I don’t know what actual transmit difference there was. On my old 2200 I saw a definite difference from the stock battery to the RC cell 7.4’s though! But that’s old tech, and PI...

    Minelab Manticore

    So far I haven’t heard any real definition of ‘more power’. This is the one thing I want to know about! Considering FCC regulations on transmit power, unless something has changed, the ability to push a signal with ‘more power’ is gonna be hard to get around. ‘More power’ isn’t something...

    Minelab Manticore

    I’m gonna wait a good while to see results. Right now the Deus II is in my sights but I’m still in ‘wait mode’ there too. If they’re equal performers I’ll go Deus due to wireless. I’m a little different since I don’t hunt parks or very many high use areas - except beaches - in search of what...

    Nuggetshooting in the Big Az!

    I was surprised that the 800 worked as well as it did. Now I didn’t find any gold but I did find small bits of iron and even some bird shot, and if you can find bird shot you can find gold! I ran it in both of the gold programs and experimented with sensitivity. Now it does like hot rocks but...

    Nuggetshooting in the Big Az!

    About to jump on the plane home…with NO gold! My buddy did find 3 small ones today though-together they were just over 3 grams. It was a fun time! Got to use my equinox for relic hunting a miners camp, my 2300 backpacking into a couple areas, and my buddy’s GPZ to scour an old hillside patch...

    Nuggetshooting in the Big Az!

    Well as of today all I have are pictures and memories! One more day but admittedly, we’re all whooped from the terrain! I’ve been taking video so I’ll load that to YouTube in a week or so. Pending tomorrow’s results!

    Nuggetshooting in the Big Az!

    Well one of our claims has produced about 11-12 ounces so far, but our detectors have been silent for quite awhile out there. We’re just waiting for our plan of operation to be approved to bring in a small excavator-MIGHT hit the mother lode, we’ll just see! Today was a blank except for some...

    Nuggetshooting in the Big Az!

    So far two days of brutal terrain, beautiful scenery, beautiful weather…but no gold yet! 3 more days…
