    New Vortex vx 9

    Good to hear there is a field test, maybe not too much, but most are new to this detector and many of us have some snow and frozen ground around. I been doing a feel air test and coins on the floor of my bar when I get some time and do see it does well on ID with the nails and other metal under...

    Just Curious.

    From my experience of 51 years ( 1973) I find that if the ground is somewhat wet it seems to do better, but if it is slopping wet I seem to get less depth as I hear more erratic signals and hard to hear the deep weaker signals. If I wait a day or so and go back over the area I seem to find more...

    Minelab "The Sovereign" A few questions...

    The manual you posted is the original Sovereign which work good, but the next model a couple of years after that was the Sovereign XS which is the model that made the Sovereigns so well known. They had the original, the XS, the XS2 and then the XS2 a which added another switch to make it a...

    Whites Treasure Pro on “OVERLOAD”

    If getting the overload you do have it away from any metal, if on a table or bench can cause this. Another thing I do is disconnect the coil from the control housing and see if it quiets down, if it does I think you have a bad coil or like it was said something is in the coil cover, if it dont...

    What voltage do you replace your 9 volt batteries in your detector?

    Good to hear they work for you, and maybe they are different than the ones I have tried. I tried them around 8 or 9 years ago and they sure didn't workout for me, the biggest problem was with my UniProbe as it would not run smooth unless they were freshly charged as they got very erratic with in...

    Is there any smaller coils for the new Voltex ??

    You are correct on the headphone adapter as got in the one for the ATP as I looked at the wire that come with my wireless headphones and I thought it used the same style connector to the detector and I looked at the one on the V9 and used my flashlight and see it was a odd one and looked more...

    Metal Detecting Tools

    OH Oh I almost left this post when I seen the shovels as it is a touchy subject for me, but glad I didn't as most of this is interesting and people need to see. The Shovels is something are made for a purpose, that is field hunting and construction site where it don't make a difference as it...

    Garrett deep seeker coin finder

    If you are new to detecting than I would not buy it. There is a lot of controls to learn what they do and I think from the looks of it you will be all ways readjusting it. Like I say if you are new to detecting you want something easy to use or you will get discussed with detecting fast. I bet...

    I have aquestion concerning the Minelab X-Terra Elite

    That's interesting and do feel this is what Garrett is doing with the new Voltec 5,7, and the 9 as I do have a 9 and still learning it, but the difference is if you have a 5 and want go to the 7 you can purchase and unload it to your 5 and if you want the 9 from the 5 that can be done too, but...

    What voltage do you replace your 9 volt batteries in your detector?

    Interesting topic and my opinion maybe just mine, but on my Tesoro's and my uni probe pin pointer that take 9 volt battery to operate I tried rechargeable 9 volt batteries and found that they only put out 8.5 or something like that, but the Uni probe would just chatter and be unstable with the...

    Is there any smaller coils for the new Voltex ??

    Good to hear there will be other coil being made, thanks for the info Good to hear the plans are being made for the smaller coil, seems like with most of us that are older the smaller and lighter coil work better. I will probably get the 8 inch coil when they are available...

    Is there any smaller coils for the new Voltex ??

    If not than wonder if one of the Garrett coil will work on the Voltex?? I like the smaller coil to learn a different detector. I hope the headphone adapter for the AT pro will work on the new Voltex as they look the same hook up to the detector and has the 1/4 jack for the headphones, just...

    Found cannonball is this a exploding cannonball

    I too remember reading about this as I think it did a lot of damage to the whole block plus if i remember right lot of broken window in a 2 block area.. The guy was dead what they could find of him, sot they are nothing to mess with and been told if a person finds one not to touch it and connect...

    Fantastic end to 2024

    Thats a very nice collection of finds you found, think I would go back more time as I am sure there is much more. I know when I was younger I could go many hours detecting each day, but now that I am older (77) It hard to detect more that a hour or so and sure do miss it. Rick

    More question on the Vortex

    When I paired the headphones I had the probe there too and feel the probe got paired too at the same time. The reason I think is when switching the option for the probe I hear the beeps in the headphones. I have the volume of the headphone max on the control on the headphone and on the detector...

    Quattro on the way.

    I had one for a while, but I think it was a earlier one as I was a Minelab dealer at the time and seen a problem with mine, they sent me a new one and it was no better, but for hunting with it I had seen something that impressed me and even got a signal my friend with the Explorer couldn't get...

    More question on the Vortex

    Just playing around with my V9 when I have a little time and trying to get to know it before I have to use it which will be a while from the looks of it. I just purchased the wireless headphones of Garrett with the Garrett pin pointer so I can hear everything though my headphones, I got the...

    Anybody Ever Try This???

    You know when SunRay made the pin pointers they had the right idea as the probe was a actual 1 inch coil. Now if you disconnect the probe from the switching control box and added a smaller coil on a old extra shaft you would have it. the toggle switch one way would be the main coil and flip the...
