    Which Detector To Keep - G2 or F75?

    I have a Teknetics G2 and a Fisher F75. Both are in excellent condition. My wife has informed me that one needs to go for some cash. Which one should I part with and why. Your help in deciding this will be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately I like both detectors so this wil be a tough decision.

    G2 Rocks Big Time!!!!

    Well, my faith in this detector keeps getting better day by day. I favor the G2 over my F75. Today the G2 has produced two awesome finds in my neighbor's yard; a large sterling men's ring and a buffalo nickel, not to mention a pile of clad and a few wheat pennies. I have been over this yard...

    G2 - Micro Jewelry vs Micro Iron Bits

    Last weekend I searched the volleyball court sand for micro jewelry with my new G2. I did not find any micro jewelry on this outing but managed to find lots of very small bits of iron, hair pins, etc. Although, if there were some micro jewelry I imagine I would have found it. Is this the...

    F75 and Micro Jewelry Settings Question

    I have been comparing my F75 to my new G2 for micro jewelry. Some time spent on the picnic table with my wife's jewelry box has produced some mixed results. I have noticed the following while trying a very small gold stud earring: F75 in Discriminate Mode: Small gold earring not detected...

    G2 Volume Question

    On my G2 when the gain is set low around 40 to 50, the volume really drops off to the point where it is very faint and almost too soft to hear even shallow targets. I am using a good set of headphones. In comparison, my F75 is very loud through these headphones even at low sensitivity...

    G2 - First Weekend

    I bought a second hand new condition G2 on eBay which showed up at my five days ago Friday. I bought this after reading some reviews on line and comments in these forums which were very favorable. So far I am extremely pleased with this detector. I have buried some clad quarters in my front...

    Finally got my GT

    My buddy who buys and sells on e-bay sold me a barely used GT for $500 even. I have had this two weeks now. So far so good. Best machine I have owned to date. Now we need some rain here in Detroit cause the ground is like cement.

    Strange Rock

    I am not claiming that my rock find is a meteorite. I found this with my Minelab Musketeer over the weekend in a local park. It rings out nicely and I thought I had another quarter. In fact I get a strong tone response even with the discriminate turned to full. The rock was about 6 inches in the...

    My Musketeer Advantage May Need Service - Not Sure

    I have been experiencing the following behavior. Not sure if this is normal for this detector: With all metal mode, ground adjust set to fixed, ground adjust enable toggled, and sensitivity adjusted from approx 3 o'clock to full, an increasingly louder audible tone is heard; almost like a...

    Silver Thunderbird Pin

    Another front yard metal detector find missed in previous hunts. This is actually a silver Thunderbird pin with a small piece of turquoise stone in the center. The steel pin has corroded away from the back but the silver and stone are like new. I cleaned up the pin with some toothpaste for now...

    Need Help!!!- Minelab Musketeer Advantage Cable Mod

    I recently purchased a Minelab Musketeer Advantage Pro off eBay. I am so tired of eBay since the last 3 detectors I have purchased have had issues; mostly people shortening cables. Probably cause thier dogs, etc. had chewed the cable; who knows? My Tesoro Vaquero off eBay arrived as not working...

    Straight Ace 250

    I decided to try a straight shaft mod on the ACE 250. I bought my usual 7/8" anodized aluminum tubing from the local ACE hardware. I had to shave down the lower rod a bit and it really fits snug with no wobble at all. Some people have commented on how cheap the lower shaft is. Let me tell...

    Screw Caps and Can Slaw

    I have the Sovereign XS-2. This detector rings out nicely on screw caps and can slaw even when the discriminate is set to highest level; just past pull tabs. These items are always slightly louder but sound just like a shallow quarter. Is this just a matter of life. This results in digging a...

    EMI and the Sovereign

    I have the Sovereign XS-2. In my neighborhood this detector rarely can be used do to electromagnetic interference. At the end of my yard I can barely use it even with the lowest sensitivity setting. There is a rythmic pulsing sound when in all metal and random beeps and nulls when in...

    If you have a ID meter for the Sovereign XS-2 Pro and want to sell it please let me know. I am not wealthy and looking for a good deal to update my old but beloved detector.

    Late 1800's Tin Foil Proof

    Today while searching an elementary school yard I had a sort of choppy but high tone signal on the old Sovereign XS-2. I had dug an 1964 D quarter about an hour before this which is in near perfect detail sans a few black stains. The Quarter was found at about 8 inches depth including the 2...
