    Question about the gti1500 modes

    Wondering if anyone knows for sure about what happens when different factory preset programs are selected on the 1500. What I am asking is this, when for example I choose Relic mode over Coin mode are there 'other' behind the scenes parameters being changed aside from the obvious disc notches...

    SImple tone question or two about the Safari

    Hi Guys- someone mentioned to me that the newer e-trac has more or a beep than a meeeeeooowwwww like the explorer has when sounding off over metal. Would this also be the case with the Safari too (please say yes!) Also, I DID skim through the owners manual, and didnt see if there was an...

    two ways I deal with the tight 9v batteries in the 1236 or the Excel etc

    I posted this idea years ago and still use it without any problem. Seeing how there is a lot of 1236x chatter lately, I figured I should post it again. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/tonykrapil/P1030726.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/tonykrapil/P1030727.jpg...

    for those that use the F70 alot, you ever notice a high tone blip that is loud yet vague at the same time. Kinda like an empty tone

    I have two F70s and both do it. Its not a matter of GB. Its a signal that always ends up being iron yet tries to ID as a high end coin. They are never shallow, usually always at the 7-8 inch depth per the meter. Instead of a solid beep-beep it sounds like a week deep signal based on its...

    F70's 2nd trip to the beach

    Had an hour to kill,and was by the beach. The F70 works well. It found several nickels, qtrs and dimes with ease. No pennies nor zincs either, which is fine by me. One piece of jewelry The salt beach balances out to ZERO no ands ifs or butts about it. I ran AT mode and occasionally...

    two coins, same hole, heard em both, ID'd em both correctly, different depths,

    These coins are nothing special by any means other than they were right in the area where we always start detecting every time we hit this spot. They should have been found yrs ago. I got an ID of 31 which is a nickel and a 64 which is high zinc-low copper. I was able to pinpoint both items...

    How to tighten a loose F70 battery box

    I havent had this problem yet on my F70, but a friend has. I was able to resolve the problem, without modifying/altering anything. I can also show you how I did it. First off, the small screw in the back side, up on top going into the S-rod within the battery compartment does NOT have...

    Simple F70 weather proofing

    Its been rainy here and thought I would share a simple way to keep your F70 clean and dry. The first pic show some blue painters masking tape which has never left any residue. Reason I taped up the holes under the arm rest is because the wires from the battery pack lead up to the F70 control...

    Some DEEP F70 finds made today

    Man it was HOT out today and so was the F70. I have no idea how you guys can run the sens as high as you guys do, maybe I prefer a real smooth operating detector but at any rate, I found these today at a site that hasnt given up anything in a real long time. I was running sens of 10 (deep...

    battery brand vs physical size myth busted imo

    What prompted me to even bother with these measurements is that a friend has a detector that uses the plastic battery holders that slip into the detector under the arm cuff. His battery holders only last about 3 battery swaps before they start to crack and not be able to be used anymore. Also...

    Took the F70 to the beach this afternoon....... It did as advertised

    I couldnt stand it anymore, I just had to know how the F70 was going to handle situations like wet salt. I headed out to Cocoa Beach and ran the F70 through its paces. The inland areas I have detected had a GB value of approx 78ish. As I got onto the dry sand as far from the water as...

    F70 dirt indicator observation (ground mineral indicator)

    I found something that seems to be following a pattern over the last few days I thought I would share and to ask if anyone else has noticed this as yet. I have been hitting all my older worked out sites and this means in most cases that the item will be on the deep side. In most cases the...

    Had a little time to try a few configurations on the f70 today and a few things I learned

    Ultimately the 'facts' that are provided below are that of the taboo air test but it was just to confirm what I saw happening out in the real world today. I could not put a measurement on the findings out in the field, hence the air test results. Today, I found a target that read 9 inches...
