    Why I'm STILL loving my Ace.....:cam:

    OK, I know it's an oldie.... but I love: (1) Relics mode. See the neat pocketknife? It gave a steady iron tone mixed with an occasional foil tone. The ID only moved a few icons- unlike a bottlecap which can jump all over the place- which brings me to: (2) The audio. Yeah, I know it's digital...

    Don't know which was more fun...

    Hitting the gravely tot lots with my Compadre, or cherrypicking the grounds with low sensitivity and the 8 tones of the MX5. Sweet!!

    Ace 250/sniper tidbit..

    Don' t know if I've mentioned this before but I was shocked and pleasantly surprised to find this out. As most already know, parks and similar places are now installing electronic devices that wreak havoc because of emi issues. Such was the case in a particular section of my favorite park. EVERY...

    Tiger shark= Bandido?

    The tesoro site says the tiger shark uses the "same g/b and discrimination" famous on the Bandido. Is this like getting a waterproof Bandido?:confused:

    Been a long time since I did this....

    I was using my Tracker IV in tone mode trying to overlook the numerous tabs when I hit a large coin spill-which turned out to be pennies. It was tiring pinpointing the numerous signals when I decided to get my Compadre and set the disc at just barely tab level. Easily recovered ALL the pennies...

    How crazy are we????

    I'm out enjoying my MX 5 and take my 8" screwdriver that I got for a quarter at a garage sale. So after an hour I decide to go into the gravel tot lot and stick the screwdriver in my back pocket. When I get to the car to change to my Compadre, I notice the screwdriver's gone. Upset, I look in...

    Gotta L O V E this hobby..

    LEARN the detector you have. One of mine has been laughed at, found fault with,etc. But it's my top producer! OVERLAP your sweeps--it makes up for a lot of shortcomings. VARY your sweep speed till you find the best pace. EXERCISE in God's great outdoors! Breathe, bend over, befriend others on...

    Any thoughts on the new Minelab Go-Find??

    Folds into a backpack easily! Nifty!

    Has anyone tested a Tesoro against the Racer?

    I know my Compadre set to where iron nails just "tic" will find targets that are masked and I understand the Cibola has found target amongst iron-but how does Tesoro compare? I know the ID is a tremendous benefit-but will the targets respond similarly?

    Can't put down rhe Tracker IV....

    It usually sits in the back of my car but when I get in a hurry I pick it up. Years ago I was gonna do a writeup on it and the then BH rep ticked me off! First he tried to push a more expensive BH model on me and then after I hinted some things about the Tracker, he told me to write it up and he...

    Take THAT Red Baron!!!!

    Well, the ole Sopwith Camel was left in the hangar because the Red Baron had moved his stash to a large compound cleverly hidden and labeled as a city park to throw searchers off. Several planes with larger scanning radars were employed and..... DRATS! The Red Baron had installed his new EMS...

    My poor wife...

    She couldn't wait till I got home to tell me we had just won $250,000 from a Facebook drawing- all we had to do was send a check for $385 to cover transaction fees. Thank God no bank routing #'s or ID info was exchanged!

    I know this is a little late.....

    but I was just reminiscing after reading Vaughn's memories of his Dad. I remember the 1st international treasure hunt and how Mr. Garrett sponsored part of it. I remember it being a Sunday and how he held services before the second day's hunt. I remember his taking "all the time in the world"...

    Compadre "snap" hunting.....

    This is my fun, new way of hunting with the Compadre in oft hunted sites. I mean, when you think about it, anything that's been dropped at these sites is only gonna be shallow.So I set the disc right at the end of "iron" so the little pieces of foil will break up with a faster paced sweep and...

    I can't believe the day has come.....

    My wife lost her beloved father-a REAL man that loved his daughter enough that whenever he found out she was going to be a person with special needs dropped out of the oil field where he was making tons of money and became a teacher for special kids. It would take a book to tell of all the...

    MX5-My dream machine.

    Monte was right on about this machine! And thanks for the pm, Monte. After only 30 minutes I loved this machine! Of course, I've been doing this for over 40 years, but still-I knew this was different than what I've been using. True-most finds are within the 3-4" range and ID is a crutch at...

    Kellyco---10 stars for service!!!

    Kinda funny story. I ordered my mx5 a few days ago and was eager to track the delivery online. Yesterday I told my wife I was going online to track it while we were at work and couldn't find the tracking thingy so I just decided to wait the next a.m. I got home that nite and as I got outta the...

    'well, I 'broke the mold;;;;

    I ordered my MX 5 from KELLYCO. It was all about circumstances-my normal dealer for some reason didn't return my email and I had my account not go through on another detector brand. So, while waiting for clarification, I reread Monte's posts on the mx5 and since I didn't have a machine with...

    Well, I thought I was over the bug...

    Been reading tab's posts about the Cibola and then an article on a field test where several costly high end detectors were tested and the Cibola was the only one to give ANY indication there was a target. Not a good signal, mind you-just a little beep. I can't stand the temptation any longer...

    Liking my Lone Star Pro.....

    Sure it's a lower end model but I'm enjoying it more every day. I call it my PC tablet/on/ a/stick!! Still have my muffler/on/a/stick-but like the 1 9v battery setup. Hunted all wee,,off and on, and still have 3 of 4 bars left.
