    AT Pro question

    Does Garrett provide some sort of cap or cover for the headphone jack to protect it from water and dust when the headphones are not in use ?

    AT Pro & Gold Tech Specs

    I don't see the optimum temperture ranges for these detectors in the tech specs. More concerned with the high end temps since it can really get hot here in the deep south.

    Anyone else having trouble getting on Garrett's website ?

    AT Pro relic hunting question

    From what I have seen and read on the forums it seems the AT Pro has great depth on button and bullet sized relics, at least to the 10 to 12 inch level. My question is, will it hit on a larger relic, ( buckle or breastplate ) at a greater depth, lets say in the 15 to 20 inch range ?

    F 70

    F 70, not many posts about it on the forums. Is it a good relic detector ?

    Cibola in ground depth test (surprising results) !

    This morning I took my Cibola and my $800 target ID detector in the woods behind the house for some comparision testing. The soil here is mild, light mineralization. I buried a Civil War Enfield bullet 12" deep. The $800 machine would not hit this target at full sensitivity with no...

    MXT Edge

    Where can I obtain a copy of the book " The MXT Edge" by Jeff Foster? Thanks, Jerry

    MXT / M6 question

    How rain resistant is the meter pod on these two detectors? Also is there a rain jacket available for the control box? In my semi-tropical part of the country it pays to be ready for a downpour when relic hunting in the woods far from your vehicle. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    WTT My Nautilus DMCIIb,

    for one of the following detectors, Tesoro Cibola----Vaquero-----Eldorado , or a Troy X-3. Age and deteriating health are forcing me to hunt with a lighter weight detector. The Nautilus is in great shape and has super depth. I would rate it at 8 on a scale of 10. The searchcoil shows no wear...

    Relic Hunting with Whites

    The last Whites I owned was a 6000 di pro some 20 years ago. It was a good detector but seemed to be lacking in the depth department. I have used a few other "relic" machines in the ensuing years but have ran into instability problems with most of them even with the gain turned down. The "T"...

    Cibola Question

    Could someone give me a good estimate on the Cibola's depth capability in mild to moderate soil with the stock coil. Targets would be colonial coins and Civil War relics ranging in size from cuff buttons to belt plates. Lets say the iron trash content is low. I have read many rather conflicting...

    T-2 Question

    The T-2 seems to be gaining ground in the relic hunting world with it's depth and ability to find good targets in iron. But before I would commit $800.00 I would like to know how good the build quality is. Will it stand up to the rigors of relic hunting in deep woods? And how weather resistant...

    T2 Question

    For 100% pure relic hunting does the F/75 offer any advantages over the T2? All the good relic sites are about gone. Whats left are the old house sites loaded with iron but with many buttons, and maybe some beltplates mixed in with the junk. How does the T2 handle these conditions?

    The Tejon would be,

    in my humble opinion, an almost perfect detector with the addition of two items. A manual & fixed ground balance switch and a frequency shift like the Vaquero & Cibola. The GB switch would let the operator choose either manual GB, or a preset GB like the Cibola. This would be useful in ground...

    Your input please

    I am taking a long hard look at the MXT, and M-6 for relic hunting. Have been in the hobby for 32 years, but never used a Whites. Nautilus and Tesoro have been my detectors over the years. Now I see more and more relic hunters in this area using Whites machines (Coastal S.C.) Would I be taking a...

    Let's ask Scully

    Hi Scully, In the post below there is some uncertainy about the ground balance and the effect it has on the disc mode on the Vaquero. Could you please clarify this for us? I am almost 100% sure that to achieve maximum depth in discrimination the GB needs to be set properly for the...

    Tejon, Cortez battery compartments

    Does anyone know of an effective way to temporarily weatherproof the battery box's on these detectors. The control housing can be covered with the availible rain/dust jacket, but the battery compartment under the armrest is a problem. Several years ago I got caught in a rainstorm with a 1266 and...

    Thoughts on coils

    I wonder how well the 8.5 and 11" coils that were intended for the Lobo ST would work on the Tejon? The Tejon's stock coil and the 12x10 are both "stick magnets" when relic hunting in the woods. The solid coils would solve that problem, hopefully without losing depth. Just a thought, wondered if...

    Looking for an older Tesoro

    Would like to purchase an original Eldorado, Bandido or Bandido II, not U max. Prefer operating condition, but has to be at least in repairable condition. Thanks, Jerry
