    FBS

    I posted this in the Explorer forum but got no responses, so I hope that posting it here as well is not a breech of etiquette. I understand that the Explorer transmits 28 frequencies at the same time. It even says so on the spec sheet. However, I have never seen any specs on how many...

    I understand that the Explorer transmits 28 frequencies at the same time. It even says so on the spec sheet. However, I have never seen any specs on how many frequencies the receive circuit receives at one time. Any ideas? I own an SE so I am not trying to bash the machine but I have heard that...

    Kudos to Tim Mallory and First Texas

    As you may know Streak has been drumming up support for a supplemental manual/DVD from First Texas for the F75. I emailed Tim Mallory at First Texas regarding the possibility of this at 5:51 p.m. this afternoon and at 6:05 I received a very courteous and informative reply from Tim. I have heard...

    Does anyone make????

    Just getting back into detecting after a couple of years off. My last water detector was an Excalibur. Does anyone make a water detector with both a digital readout and tone ID? I know the Whites machine has three LEDs for target ID but I would like to have something with a readout similar to...

    How does it work?

    I know that the Explorer is multi-frequency, but how do those frequencies work? Are they broadcast and received simultaneously? I have read that the machine works with a pulsed signal. Is this true or is the signal constant? I love the machine, but I am one of those guys that cannot rest until I...

    Processes

    I have read the manual and think I understand all it says about the processes available on the F-75. Does anyone know more about what each process is/does? I would like to know what settings are affected by each process. For instance does the JE mode just increase the sensitivity without you...

    New F75-Chatter, sensitivity, power lines and the weather - LONG

    I bit the bullet today and bought an F75 over the X-terra 70. Being an Explorer user this thing is going to take some getting use to. I had read the manual twice before making my decision so as soon as I got home I broke open the box, assembled the F75 and headed into the yard. First of all I...

    Digging tools?

    I wore myself out this weekend digging deep with the small Lesche digging tool. I tried my entrenching tool but I soon hit the point where the top of the blade was below the lip of the hole. I think that I am interested in the T handle Ground Shark as it looks like it is small enough to cut...

    Minelab rain/dust cover

    Does the sunray (or other brand x)rain/dust cover fit better than the Minelab cover? I do not have a problem getting it on or off, but the clear plastic on the front keeps distorting and I cannot read the meter through it. I have thought about going to the office supply store and getting some of...

    Constant iron sounds?

    I spent the day at a school house that was built about 125 years ago or so. Since then it has been used as a house by several different families who have left an unbelievable amount of trash in the yard. The upside of this is that I can now identify a screwcap absolutely. The SE did a good job...

    Coil Depth Comparison

    Having read several posts regarding coil size and the effect on depth, I was thoroughly confused by statements like "you will lose a little depth over the stock coil" or "this coil is deep". I hope this will clear things up for other newbies. It has helped my understanding of the relationship...

    Coil size comparison graphic

    I don't know if anyone else will find this useful but here goes. I was having a very hard time visualizing the relative difference in size of the coils that I have been researching. SO, I sat down at my trusty CAD station and came up with the enclosed picture so that I would have a better idea...

    Excelerator 4.5x7 vs. Coiltek Joey

    Anyone tried both? I like the idea of the extra ground covering capability of the Joey, but have never used either of these coils. How do they stack up depth wise when compared to the stock 10" coil? I have a Sunray 5" which is great, but I would like to have something a little bigger for areas...

    Coiltek 5x10 elliptical same as the Joey?

    I just went to the Coiltek website to look for information on the Joey. It is not there, at least not by that name. They do list a 5x10 elliptical but do not specify whether it is waterproof or not. Is this the same coil as the Joey? If not, is it waterproof? If it is not waterproof is ther a...

    Coin Guide

    I found this link to Colonial and early American coins on the forum http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ and it was very informative. Thanks Don in SJ for posting it. Does anyone have an online source for information/pictures for later denominations ie. half dimes, liberties, barbers, wheaties etc...

    Sensitivity Experiment

    After reading several posts regarding the sensitivity level, I have been searching the areas around my house this week playing with the sensitivity level to get an idea of how it can affect depth. Last night I did a couple of air tests and here is what I found: With the sensitivity set at...

    Does anyone make.....

    Years ago I was had a coil for my DFX called a hotfoot. The same company made a bigfoot coil. I really liked this coil design. Does anyone make a coil comparable to these for the Explorer?

    1st detector for my son, backup for me.

    I use an Explorer Se. I have bought an X-70 for my 8 year old sons first detector (and as a backup for me). I was/am kicking around the idea that I should have got a F75 instead. We hunt old home sites, schools, parks, civil war camps and the ocassional trip to the beach. Do you guys think the...

    Honest opinions needed

    First, I am an Explorer SE user. My son has shown an interest in getting started in the hobby and has a birthday coming up. This creates the perfect opportunity for me to have a second detector in the house without causing my wife's head to explode. I bought him an X-terra 70, which is still in...
