    does the coil signal go down in a cone or strait down?

    been wondering if the signal from any of the minelab coils goes strait down of does it go down in a cone shape? so if I am using the stock 11" coil is it still 11" diameter at 10" down or is it say 5" diameter at 11" depth? this is something I need to know so I know how much to overlap each...

    Just what is it highly mineralized ground and how I tell ?

    Just what highly mineralized ground anyway and how do I know if I have it? Does it even matter if I am using ferrous-coin? I've never done a ground balance and do I have to if using Ferrous-coin? Just one of the many things to learn about with this complicated machine. Thanks

    Big THANKS to Ralph at Sun Ray

    Big Thanks to Ralph at Sun-Ray for quick shipment of my CTX 3030. Got it in two days. He is very well educated on the 3030 and talked with me for at least an hour helping to understand this complex machine. I was able to hit the ground running and started finding good coins right away. He also...

    Are green pennies ever going to be worth anything?

    I have lots of old green pennies and I wonder if the green ruins their value? They don't look like copper anymore so does that destroy their numismatic value? Is there any way to clean the dried dirt on them or will that also ruin their value ( if they have any value that is due to the green)...

    any word on the Minelab probe?

    Has anyone heard of when Minelab might have their new probe ready for market? My Garrett stinks and they don't have one to send to me so i have to struggle along with it for now and i am hoping that the Minelab probe will be out soon. Thanks

    I do most of my hunting inland but live near a Great Lake and will want to do some beach hunting and would like to know if anyone can help me choose a good sand scoop?

    let's start a list of all the found gold fe-co numbers

    do you all think it would be a good idea to note all the fe-co numbers that we have found gold at so that we can get a better idea of where gold is comeing in at? the 14K ring that i found was a 12-1 and was strong and only one inch so i dug it where i normally wouldn't have.
