    13" Ultimate Coil and Pro-Pointer Issue

    I have noticed that I need to turn off my detector when using the Pro-Pointer near the Ultimate 13" coil. The Pro-Pointer starts falsing when switched on and the detector is set on the ground near to the plug I am probing. Anyone else have this issue? I have tried to switch the Pro-Pointer...

    Sterling Pin

    Found this silver pin with the 11" Pro Coil at around 6 inches depth. It appears to be a medal of sorts. The pin part was a couple inches away from the medal in the same plug and says "sterling". The medal measures around 5/8" x 3/8". This was found in an old play field where a school was...

    Sun Ray X-8 or SEF 10x12?

    Which one is the better coil if you had to chose? I watched the treasure barrel youtube videos and the X-8 was equal to the pro-coil in depth. What about the 10x12 SEF in depth?

    Holy Cow - Sunray X-5 Stealth Mini Powerhouse

    Well I bought an X-5 off the classified forum which I had he opportunity to test this evening. Most of the sites I am able to hunt are loaded with iron and junk.

    Well my quest for gold is netting smaller items with this amazing 6x8 SEF coil. The stud earring is maybe white gold with gem. Not sure what kind of stone. It registered just a hair below nickel on the smartfind and was an inch down in the wood chips.

    18k Wedding Band This Time!!!

    Well, day two out with my new acquisition, the Minelab Explorer SE Pro, netted me this 18K wedding band. I only had to dig around 50 pulltabs to get this one. However, it did read a little bit higher on the smartfind screen directly above nickel/pulltab area.

    Observations On Coin Shooting w/ G2

    Yesterday I decided to try just coin shooting with the G2 DP for high conductive coppers and silver. I recalled reading someone say to just crank the disc all the way up so I tried this. Also I cranked the gain all the way up as well. In order to ground balance though I had to lower the gain...

    G2 or F75?

    If you had your choice, which one, F75 or G2 and why? Please don't suggest other choices. I am familiar with both of these. Just that I sold both to friend last year and may be able to purchase one back. Need to make a choice here.
