    F-22

    Took delivery on a brand new F-22 yesterday . I have already decided that I like the 7 inch round concentric better than I do the stock coil. The 7-inch feels like it ought to be the stock Coil because it just feels right and also is lighter, and just as deep. For the money the F22 is of...

    BH Platinum

    Considering a Platinum for my wife. Or it could end up being mine. She loves my DeLeon. The Platinum is in my budget and seems like a good choice. So, I would like to hear what you folks think of this detector. Negatives are welcome. Thank you.

    DeLeon, changing batteries

    Question for DeLeon owners. At what point is it best to change batteries, to get the best out of the machine? I've lost 2 bars, so down to 6 bars left. I'm thinking fresh batteries at 3 bars left. This is probably one of those brainless questions, but I'm thinking there has to be an optimum...

    Garrett ACE 200?

    Anyone else out there own an ACE 200? Or am I the only one? The ACE 200 was my entry into MD exactly 1 month ago. Actually tomorrow will be 30 days. I've never came across any postings here or anywhere else. Only a rep from Garrett has a video on you tube.

    5.5" concentric coil for DeLeon?

    I'd like to get some feedback on the 5.5" concentric coil from Tesoro, to use on my Deleon. Another question, is there anything special that has to be done to the machine? Just install and hunt?

    Oldest find to date

    Metal detecting for almost a month now. About an hour ago I found my oldest coin, a 1973 Canadian penny. I know this would not excite most of you, but it did me. Until I cleaned it up, I thought it was an indian head penny. Pretty poor condition, but back side with date is readable...

    New Makro Racer, today

    My Makro Racer (I think it's also called a Red Racer}, arrived a day early today. Made me very happy as I was sitting on ready set go. I am going to give you my initial experience, but keep in mind I am very new at MD, right at a month, so I don't know much. But I do have 70 years of living...

    DeLeon question.

    Is the DeLeon a good detector for working a salt water beach? Wet and dry sand? If so, what coil would be best? My son in law wants a detector and I am leaning him toward a DeLeon. The reviews are great.

    Tracking

    Racer tracking question. In live detecting, is this a selection that's used often? I take delivery on a Racer this coming Wednesday. I printed the instructions manual and read it pretty throughly. Tracking I'm lost on

    New Racer standard MD on the way.

    I now have a Makro Racer standard MD on the way. I also ordered the 5"x4.5" water proof coil. It comes with a Makro PP, headphones and a couple of other goodies. All for $588.00 to my door. I think I did okay on price, but if not, I am okay with it anyhow. For the last few days I have been...

    Tesoro DeLeon

    Question about the DeLeon: Is this detector with the 9x8 concentric search coil a good combination for searching for coins and jewelry on the beaches, dry and wet sand? I am about to make my mind up on this detector or a Makro Racer, which is supposed to be wonderful on beaches. But I like...

    First ring

    After 3 weeks of owning a metal detector, the ACE 200, the one that replaced the 150, the low range on the detector scale, this morning I found my first ring. Right in my back yard, on the beach down by the river, I found what I believe to be a ladies gold ring. Don't know for sure if its...

    I am new to MD, and my first D is a Garrett ACE 200. I have had it for 3 weeks now and have searched 4 times for a total of probably around total, all in my back yard by the Flint River in South West Georgia. So far I have found some trash, 2 dimes, a quarter, and 4 pennys. All newer year...

    Makro Racer Standard MD, F75, and T2?

    I am about to make my mind up on one of the three. Metaldetectors.com has what seems to be a good deal on all three. Leaning toward the Racer. I am writing to just see if anyone would like to offer their 2 cents. Thanks!

    Seeking advice on new detector

    I am just shy of 3 weeks into metal detecting. My new javascript:bbcode_video_editor_tool()MD is a Garrett ACE 200. I have taken the time to learn this machine, and have decided I already want a better one. I live in South Georgia. I will be working the sand bars of the Flint River (above...

    New member from Georgia

    Hello, I am 70 yrs old and just bought my first metal detector 2 weeks ago. I don't know why it took so long. I figure I have perhaps 10 good years left, so I figure I better get busy and find some treasure, along with some hidden trash. My new detector is a Garrett Ace 200. It seems to...
