    The Lone Star Pro....

    I thought was a mistake! The faceplate looked like one of those phony tottler phones-icons pasted on plastic. I was delighted to find that was only outward appearance-as was the almost weightlessness. The depth was adequate-too much for some areas-I ran at only 3 bars sensitivity with 4 bars in...

    It's DONE!

    Got tired of waiting on another mfg. And got the Lone Star Pro-being sent to the Lone Star state! Now let me say I'm a ''flash money'' detecter, and this is all I need! On top of that I got to use my Walmart discount card on the purchase. Woohoo!

    New BH's!

    I'm liking what I see! The new Lone Star Pro looks like it's gonna be my ''hunk in the trunk'' new detector. Only one 9 volt, too. Great job!

    Need Silver umax help....

    Anyone have pics of the wiring from the inside coil connector and headphone jack to the board? I'm too embarrassed to tell what I've done.:shrug:

    OK...I did it again. Now someone explain

    For the umpteenth time, with my Ace in Coins mode (really, customs mode with the foil icon added), I found a nickel and a dime right next to each other and the Ace recovered enough to get BOTH with BOTH tones and ID. I now use the sniper, but I used to do it with the stock coil. Now, is it the...

    :rolleyes::rolleyes:Ain't God good?

    :About 7 years ago, I was 300 yards up from my house at the local school grounds searching. Decided to go garage saleing, but hesitated to hunt for a few minutes. Up pops a lady who saw me, gets out of her car with a Garrett BFO/w 2 coils and my memories quickly erupted. "Would you show me how...

    Rechecking in a/m mode...

    Am considering a Cibola. I've only had one Tesoro w/push button a/m mode. Has anyone ever tried comparing signals in a/m mode to determine target's probable value to aid in dig-no dig decisions? Monte and others had good articles on this and was wondering if anyone tried it with the Cibola. The...

    Sorry for the repeat.....

    But dang I love my Tracker IV! It resets so fast and I know almost instantly what I've got-or at least the range it's in. I can search a whole tot lot in just a couple of minutes-I used to enter competition hunts. Bought some rechargeables for it and they work fine. Just saying this because...

    Compadre gold.....

    OK. I'm getting my Hewlett-Packard camera setup and having trouble with it so I'm using my laptop "funsie" camera. Had the disc. set right at "i" in iron. I could hear "tics" on nails, some louder than others. The "1 in a Million", 14k charm came in nice and clear in the highly mineralized tot...

    Snipey and the Flyin' Ace find small gold!

    It was cold and right before darkness was setting in. I had the sensitivity at 4, customs mode(copied the coins mode but with foil segment added), and flyin' like the wind to get the search in. The Red Baron didn't seem worried, as he had heard that my radar didn't "reset" fast enough to handle...

    Ace 250 finds my best ring this year.....

    Don't know what happened to my first post, but I was in Relics mode at a school that was being renovated this summer and hit this =registered at nickel in Relics mode at 4 bars sensitivity. It's 14k gold and has 25 little stones. Gonna have it appraised tomorrow. Afraid to say anymore-I must've...

    Ace vs Xterra 305

    I have the Ace. Here's the dilemna. No g/b-HOWEVER other posters say the xterra is best in a/m mode. Well, I started using my Ace in a/m mode with great results. So, has anyone ever used BOTH and what are the comparisons?

    What a crazy way to hunt.....

    I've gone over most of my sites and the year's been slow. Now as I was thinkin' about the situation, I got to thinking (I know, dangerous thing.) So why should I be concerned about depth-and it's probably an overrated topic.. So I come up with this combination: sniper coil (never take it off) -...

    This was scary...:stretcher:

    I had my Compadre w/discrimination right below iron nail because the old schoolground was loaded with tiny iron. I was getting broken signals from some of the iron but nickels-even a buffalo-were popping out everywhere-probably from others running higher discrimination. It was BLAZING hot but I...

    The Compadre will do just fine for field searching....

    Yeah, it's got a small coil. Yeah, it take a little more time. But boy, is it thorough. I went to hunt a tot lot and our schools have started a program whereby the kids are there till sometimes past 6 pm. :ranting: Well, there's an area about 3 football fields in length on the side of the...

    Why my next detector will be a Gold umax...

    Because of my Royal Sabre! I got a 5.75" coil for my Silver umax and had been leaving the Royal in the closet because of a bad coil. Finally, I got tired of the trashy sites not producing as I thought they should with other brands of detectors and put the coil on my Royal. Last week I found a...

    Tracker hunt this pm...

    Well, my Tracker is my "scout" machine-I get in a competition hunt mode and just blow through a place to see if there's any thing and it saves me hours of hunt time as it doesn't overreact to the small stuff like teeny foil. Today I went back to the city park and instead of hunting the tot lots...

    This is totally crazy.....

    My Royal Sabre has been setting on the shelf-mainly because the 8" coil went bad. I had been searching this park and ran into a trashy section I had searched with different brands and suddenly it hit me to try the Royal. I took the 5.75" coil off my Silver, replaced it with the brown coil, and...

    The Tracker IV "scratch"....

    Well, I've posted several times about the "scratch" sound some nickels and rings give on the Tracker IV in the tone mode-my favorite. It's because the low tone sounds like one. Today I found a really thin ring-unfortunately no gold markings-and it was just a quick single "scratch" low tone...

    OK-so go ahead and laugh...

    I put my $40 Walmart copycat Tracker in the closet-even left the batteries in it. So I took the knobs off, went inside and clipped the useless "kick" meter and glob-soldered an old 4" coil from an old Tracker I once had-before I tore it up trying to do stuff to it. It doesn't even have a leg...
