    Batteries.. which do you use

    I use both the factory rechargable and t-energy rechargables. Ive noticed if you first start your detector or get a new factory rechargable for the first week or so my detector is noisy. After that it runs pretty smooth. I know the machine is supposed to send a constant current until it...

    Noise cancelling

    Ive always been one to noise cancel at swing height. Well i got a ton of noise today when testing the SE. I tried to noise cancel at about knee high... i tried 3 times and nope. So i put the coil ON the ground and i didnt get anymore noise after noise cancelling. So i guess it depends on...

    Sunday hunt

    Got out to the center of town for a couple of hours where i have been hunting here in Avon Park, Fl. Ive tried a lot of different ways to hunt it just because it has years of trash, metal lines and electrical line, EMI and who knows what elce. Its a tuff hunt so i went back to basics... i mean...

    EMI falsing noise problem

    I noticed the other day i started getting noise that sounded like EMI. However i was on a fresh water beach and i know there wasnt anything there. I cleaned my coil cover, noise balanced, and even reduced my sensitivity.... didnt help. If i shut it off and turned it on it seemed to be ok for...

    Todays hunt

    Im going to try and get all my interesting finds together when i get home for a picture. Hunted with Gil a friend here in sebring, Fl. The SEF did an excellent job in black mucky sand. I barrowed a sand scoop and needed a shovel. Gil came over at one point and asked why i was digging such...

    First hunt with SEF

    I hunted about 3 hours or so today with the 10 X 12 SEF. Hey, great coil. It was like using another detector when it comes to pinpointing. I didnt even have to use pinpoint... just move it to the front tip and it was there. The area i hunted was really tore up and trashy, but a good...

    New Coil

    Ok Bryce and Darrell i got my 10 X 12 SEF today and ill give it a try tomorrow in a very tuff area here in Avon Park, Fl. They are redueing the center area of town. There is a lot of underground EMI.. but the soil doesnt seem too bad. That was the area i hunted the last hunt and got the SLQ...

    reversing the slimline coil

    I was hunting in a park that was fairly clear and decided to try something. I put the slimline coil on backward. It was a lot easier to get into tight areas and seemed to change the weight distribution. I didnt notice any falsing from the cable, but i wasnt hunting in an area where the cable...

    First hunt in Florida

    Ive been in Fla for a couple of days now and finally got out to hunt a vacant lot in Avon Park. Found about $3 in change, a hand full of wheats and a couple of neat items. An old Lazell rough box and a 1903 to 1933 Ford thirty year coin.

    SE hand grip

    I dont care much for the SE's foam handgrip. So today i went to Wally World and found some tennis racket grip wrap that works fantastic. Just wrap tight and electric tape at the top and bottom. Its easier to wipe off... not to mention the PURPLE color really adds to the appearance.

    DEEP and Gain

    Let me put this out here and see what kind of response i get. I notice some has DEEP on and their gain at 6 or 7... while others have their gain at 10 and Deep off. I see the Gain as modulation... when set at 6 deep targets have an obvious difference to those surface targets. However, if...
