    Vortex V9 is going to be here Jan 09

    I got it in on the 9th as was told, seems light weight compared to many I tried. I had to start it up to see what it sounded like before charging to see if I put everything together right. It stared up fine and waved a couple of coins across the coil and seems to be good, but the battery went...

    Vortex V9 is going to be here Jan 09

    That did cross my mind and sure hope it was like the Troy X5 & X3 Shadow when he seen some problem and corrected the problems before they were released. Maybe Garrett did the same, I hope anyway. I am sure we will find out soon when people will get out to try them...

    Finally found my first Half Dime!

    Thats a great find you picked up and I myself never found a seated half dime, but many seated dime over the year. I did get 2 Canadian fish scales that are the same size one year with the 1896 one that look like it was lost when new. On the coins that are bent I put them between 2 of the 2X4...

    Cleaning clad question

    I have tried different grades of the grit and find that the coins just come out too tough looking as it seem to scratch them too much What I found works good for me is separating the clad from the copper and run in a rock tumbler with the aquarium gravel water and some real lemon juice for about...

    Old trash pit in my lawn?

    Very nice finds and were these coin pictured at this site too?? Very questionable what it is, but do know I would be going over it again and again and see what else is found. Looks like a trash pit I feel, but with the coins I wonder is it was a shallow Privy site for the early 1900 or so with...

    Tesoro Coils

    That is true as the X2 was made by Tesoro while the X5 was designed by Troy and was built by Fisher and dont know myself if any other coil will fit on the X5 or the X3. I have myself a X5 I picked up a few years ago and have the 7 and 9 inch coils I believe and been sitting on the wall and may...

    Starting New Site for Beginners - Any Suggestions - ideas?

    Verry good picture here and I see the trash piles you posted just to show you not only find the best stuff, but the trash to go along with it. This hobby takes patience and determination to be successful plus some good luck too. Many think that detecting you can make a lot of money every time...

    Important question here

    A authorize Minelab dealer has a minimum they can advertise the price for, they will not sell a Minelab knockoff . I think Amazon is a actual Minelab dealer and if they are you can get it fast if they have it in stock. Now We have several dealers right here that are dealers and some are highly...

    How many hours would you guess this coil has been used.

    this Coil looks like it had some hard use in some rough areas, many deep scratches . To me it looks like there is no coil cover on first pic and on the second picture look like a cover on it, could be just the way the picture is . Myself I would say the person that had this coil dragged the...

    Have a few question on the deeptech Vista

    There must be different models of the Vista as the 2 toggle switches click into forward and backwards and stay there , they are a 2 pole switch and like you mention it could be they do the same thing and depends on which hand you swing with as to which one you use...

    Have a few question on the deeptech Vista

    from what I can tell this is not the pro one and is the Vista X. it does have 2 toggle switches on the downside of the control box, but the coil is not oxcegon like the picture shows it is more oval looking. The toggle switches are only 2 position and not 3, so there is no center position. I...

    What has been your # 1 detector in years passed

    I notice many of those listed are also some of my favorite too.. At this time my Sovereigns is the ones I do the best with in most cases, the Shadow X 5 I have with 2 coils is used a lot more than the Sovereigns at this time because of the weight and can swing the coil faster and cover more...

If the signal get weaker I dig. Doing...
