    MXT E-Series

    I too like the MXT in fact I fell in love with it, but this is my wife detector so I had to give it back. After using my Minelabs the MXT was a real fun detector to use as it was so simple and easy to use, we used the relic setting for coin hunting as it had been recommended by others. The wife...

    I found … Mount Rushmore!

    I do believe it is the back to a pocket watch as they were not the fancy one that had the hinge on the back. Most were just plain with some a little fancy and they snapped on the back of the watch. One of the ones I have got is real fancy looking. Rick

    Last few hunts up to 11-10-24

    Nice combination of different find which shows that you dig a lot of different signals which is great as you have a better chance to find some interesting finds many pass over before. I like all the different finds you have found and being able to ID them so you have been doing this for a while...

    Hey GARRETT!!! Where's the Mighty Vortex??????

    I have one on pre order and they say about the ending around Nov around Thanksgiving they should be in, but not sure how many are ahead of me. I know I should wait and see how they work out first, but the only way to see what it is all about is getting one to see if it will work for me or my...

    Like doing business with Dan(NM)

    Just got a detector 800 Equinox from Dan today, Like the way he pack it and was very clean unlike many I have bought. The coil cover was taken off and cleaned too, plus the price was right too. I have done business with Dan before and like always he does excellent deals...

    My most interesting find to date

    That tag is a ID tag that were sold at the bus station, that is where I seen them. back in the 60s the bus station had a machine for 10 cents you could print on out, 2 levers on it and a dial that showed the different letters or numbers and when you got the one you wanted you pulled the one...

    What is the best beep and dig machine(s) you have ever owned or still owned?

    Deep and dig detectors will find more in the long run as too many depend on the meters and such. One of the best for me is the Shadow X5 I still have and another one I found that seem good for me is the Tejon Tesoro I had tried. A great one some will say is a hard one to use, but once you learn...

    Sovereign Elite coil

    Thanks for posting the instructions as I have a coil on a used Sovereign I picked up that has been repaired with what looks like shrink wrap. just need to get the cable and a good job for this winter, Rick

    Sovereign and "nulling"

    Lot of good info here as it seems these people understand their Sovereign well. The Sovereign is a slow working detector unlike most of them and it areas it nulls a lot you do have to go slow and listen to those tone and work those small tones. If going too fast you will go right over and good...

    Question to refresh my mind about some older coils.

    I know the Joey coil is not waterproof , but water resistant and have heard of some way of making them waterproof by making sure where the cable goes into the coil is well sealed. I had a concentric coil I wouldn't use as I tried 2 on my Sovereign and it was not impressive, but this was back a...

    Safari and Quattro Differences

    I got one of the first Quarto and had a lot of problems with it as it may have been a bad detector so after talking to Minelab it was sent back the new also run the same way, so feel maybe there was a software glitch. what was happening if you got a slight signal whether false it seem to...

    Big Merchant Tokens, Silver Coins and Pins

    Nice to see you doing good again Dave, always like to see what you are finding on your outings as they seem to be awesome. that lead item looks to be stopper for something possibly a bottle stopper from my first impression and hope someone else can ID it better...

    Depth modification of detector circuit boards.

    Interesting what I can read, but myself just run a slight threshold and those deep coins or trash with a null lets me know there is something it is seeing. On the good target it may give a slight tone and by working this signal with the Sovereign wiggle I can hear the tone changing getting...

    Sov XS shows the light of day to a 101 yr old Merc!

    The Sovereigns are a true turn on and go detector, not a lot of controls to mess with. I use the same setting 90% of the time and adjust my sensitivity rarely as I just swing slower and listen closer as I run a slight threshold. Since I learned the Sovereign I have tried other detectors and...

    Depth modification of detector circuit boards.

    I think that amp pictured is not A Minelab product as it dont have the Minelab name on it. There was guy that built some amps for the Sovereign and I did a test on one and seem to make the Signal a little louder, but I found the depth a little less or the same. I found that listening closely...

    Sov XS shows the light of day to a 101 yr old Merc!

    George, I figured you would be back using the Sovereign and sure enough you are again. its hard to use anything once you know how well the Sovereign can get the good signals other detectors walk over, nice to try others, but I too always come back to my Sovereigns as well as it works. Too bad...

    Seated and Others / Old Pin & Jewelry

    Doing good AGAIN!! Dave, just shows what a little research and knowing the detector you are using can do. To think I remember back in the 70s and 80s many said there were no place left to detect as everything was cleaned out. Good to see you are able to get out and do so well...

    Picked up another Beep and Dig

    I got my Legend a few years ago and it is the 1.05 I believe and dug it out on Saturday to charge the batteries . the few test I was doing is in my floor in my bar as it has nails and iron in the floor and only few detector can get a signal when I put a coin on top on top of a nail I find in...
