    Detector rule number 1

    I noticed in Andys book that Bill Paxton and myself has the same rule about learning a new detector. That rule is "never trade or give up on a detector until it has paid for itsself." I think too many people dismiss or give new detectors a bad review without spending the time needed to see...

    Minelab dot com??

    Anyone having trouble getting on the consumer part of the minelab dot com? I tried to look up a dealer and the site kept giving me NOT CONNECTED. Are they in the process of doing something to the site?

    Patterns do work

    I tried using a coin pattern today. I was hunting a 15 Ft by 35 ft area along a streem in a park. The dirt was very dark and there was a lot of rusted metal and some pieces of aluminum from the ball park fense that was there. I worked the same area three ways. The first was sensitivity at...

    Sounds

    Here's one for those technical experts. There are several options for setting the sounds... normal, long, ect. If im right, all those sounds must go thru the AC side of the coil to be processed. Even in AM in order for the sounds and tones to be seperated they must be processed. The DFX is a...

    Falsing and coil cover

    Ive noticed the past few weeks how important it is to clean the dirt off your cover. Ive noticed on occassions my detector begins acting like i have too high of a sensitivity setting. To check it i switched to AUTO and it was still occurring. I held my detector at waist high and got NO EMI...

    Mounting the X1 on the SE

    How many people mount their X1 probe on the top shaft of the SE? I mounted mine as instructed on the battery box i found it ackward. Im sure its mostly me just because im new to using it. I must be a clean freak, because it really seemed to dirty up the detector. When i was went to clean it...

    Sensitivity Bar

    Im just curious as to why Minelab didnt make the sensitivity bar adjust like the depth gauge when you are using auto sensitivity? I know you can get some indication as to how well its doing just by watching the depth gauge, It sure would have been great to see an active bar when in auto...

    Biloxi MS hunt

    Anyone using their SE in the Biloxi area? Im here for a couple of weeks and started hunting today. Seems like they have run the machines over the beach or put in new sand. I found some clad and a few pieces of jewerly nothing of real value. I did find tons of melted copper and large copper...

    Sensitivity

    First off let me say im impressed with how the SE can find good targets in ungodly trashy areas. I hunted and old mountain park that was completely trashed. Bottle caps, beer lids, pull tabs and you wouldnt beleave the glass and bullets. There was so much trash that people had raked heaps and...

    New Person

    Im new to the SE, but not detecting. My question is how many of you start out learning the SE by using the Smartfind screen in lieu of the Digital? I used the machine yesterday for the first time and noticed i really was relying on looking at the screen for specific numbers. Im going to...

    Explorer and gold

    Im curious about the Explorer and raw gold. Gus at Doc's detectors in Vegas said the SE did a good job finding raw gold. Also, my DFX does an excellent job on chains and small jewery on the beach... i was told the SE misses those smaller targets. Id like to get the SE but it has to do well...

    Multiple Frequencies question

    Question for all the Geru's out there. Ive noticed the Fisher CZ3D operates at 5 and 15 kHz and the Whites DFX at 3 and 15 kHz. Both companies say their detectors transmit multiple frequencies but receive only those stated. What is Minelab doing different with its BBS? Does the Sov GT...

    looking at a CZ

    Im looking at getting a new detector. From what ive been reading, the CZ's work like the whites DFX... am i wrong? How well does the CZs do on the beach? With the high kHz, can they be used to locate gold? How do they compare with the Minelab Sov GT?

    Coin cleaning

    I recently found a walking liberty half on the beach. I made a homemade electrolysis that works pretty good on copper, but didn't use it. I boiled the half in peroxide instead. It turned kind of dark... i suppose because it had been exposed to the salt beach for a period of time. So i try...

    Looking for new detector

    Im looking for a new detector. One for coins and jewerly must work well in trashy parks and on the beach and have fast recovery and deep. Im thinking GT, MXT, or one of the CZ's. I like to know what detector you think is best and why?

    Elite or GT?

    Ive noticed i can get a used Elite for a couple hundred dollars less than a GT. Not to mention the Elite comes with the meter. Is the Gt worth the extra money?

    GT and trash?

    Id like a detector that will work well in city parks. Would the GT Disc or notch out the tabs and bottle caps without loosing the rings? Naturally i don't want to dig to china in a park after a pull tab. Is the GT easier to work with if it has the meter? Plus i want to detect around some old...
