    Minelab's official 2014 plans

    From Codan's CEO's address to shareholders at the annual General Meeting, 23 October, 2013, looks like 2 new Gold detectors in 2014, the "super" and the "mid range". Save your money, the "super gold machine" probably won't be cheap.

    Our Suppliers - God Bless Them

    This was a few posts down in an earlier thread, but I thought I would post it here without any special comment. Without these companies (and an increasing wave from Central and Eastern Europe) we would all be using used detectors. A quick online search shows the following for approximate...

    Metal Detector Companies and Osborne Computers

    If you about the right age and you have about the right sort of technical interest than you might just remember the first spectacular failure in the microcomputer age. A fellow named Osborne developed the first truly portable microcomputer. It was about the size of a singer portable sewing...

    Whites TDI Pro?

    Just happened to look at White's webpage this morning and the TDI Pro is shown is out of stock. I wonder if that means anything beyond perhaps the shortage of some component that prevented building new batches of them and all the completed ones are already with distributors and dealers. It is...

    Coinmaster GT with Bigfoot

    I got a good deal on a Bigfoot coil for Prizm detectors and just had to buy it because I love the clean wide sweep of a Bigfoot - plus I doubt that there more than a few of that type of Bigfoot coils in existence. Problem was I had no Prizm or new Coinmaster detector to use it with. I thought...

    Various Bigfoot Coils

    I seem to have ended up with a flock of Different Bigfoots (Bigfeet?). I put together what I think I know about them over on the Whites forum, along with pix of the various ones. To avoid loading all 4 pix again, here's the link if you are interested. Also a link to an interesting thread by...

    EMI Question Rob ??

    EMI Does seem to be an issue for some however. Steve Hersc bach recently posted on another forum that he gotten rid of his V3i because he couldn't deal with the fact that it was so susceptible to EMI. He tried to use it and would be unable to because of the EMI and finally gave up on the...

    Prism Bigfoot

    P.S. it's a REALLY NICE COIL! Just about brand new. If you have aPrism or new Coinmaster, you will wait years to find another like it (I think).

    Prism Bigfoot

    Got it in one Sherlock! The plugs are different. Thought I'd find out if it worked, but got PLUGGED. I could probably work out some sort of adapter, but I'm not that interested since I have a DFX Bigfoot and a 6.59 Bigfoot to,play with and - wait for it - NO PRISM OR COINMASTER!!! Too bad...

    Prism Bigfoot

    Well, I got a Prizm Bigfoot for $100 and if it happens to work on the V3i, I'll be very pleased! Otherwise, I'll buy a cheap used coinmaster or Prizm and make a coin vacuum out of it!

    Prism Bigfoot

    With DFX Bigfoot coils headed for the stratosphere, has anybody tried a Prism Bigfoot coil on the V3i?

    how does your v3i do on a planted quarter at six inches

    I planted a clad quarter at 7" in my rocky Arizona red clay. Ground probe is -94. Ground is dry. D2 coil. Coin and jewelry or coin programs - no signal. Deep silver program - good signal and ID with coil maybe 2" above ground - but VID of 93! I buried a gold mens wedding band (which gets a...

    IDX Pro with Mods - OMG!

    I've read Monte's various posts for years and finally got the urge to try an IDX Pro with Mr. Bill's mods. As luck would have it one came up for sale here and I got it. I'm pretty impressed based on my experience so far. I have played with it on my property and found that I could ground...

    Inca

    The very name thrills with visions of gold!!! Say what you want about the Giffords, but they could name detectors! I'm soon to be the proud new owner of one, couldn't resist the listing in the Classifieds. OK what sort of fun should I look for? Monte has recommended a 7" concentric and...

    IDX Pro and coils

    Lucky me. After letting myself get all fired up reading Monte's posts about the Whites Classic series, I snagged an IDX Pro with Mr. Bill's mods installed on the Classifieds. While I'm waiting for it to arrive - I have an Eclipse 5.3 which is V rated. Will this work? Also, does anyone have...
