    X-Terra Pro vs. Vanquish 440?

    Not trying to discourage you and your interest in other detectors...but my experience with machines with multiple options/configurations can lead to frustration, i.e., "what if" I'd used this/that/another setting...would I have detected more/better/deeper targets???? The answer is yes AND no...

    X-Terra Pro vs. Vanquish 440?

    Don't know the other machine...but, use and love the Vanquish 440. Especally, light weight and its simplicity. Used an Etrac for years (great machine...maybe the best) but too heavy and toooooo many options.

    OAK ISLAND

    Gary? Have no idea what a "bobby dazzler" is. Don't understand why he NEVER has to dig the target. Don't think I would enjoy hunting with him. :unsure:

    OAK ISLAND

    As many individuals it would likely have taken to bury the supposed treasure in the first place...I SERIOUSLY DOUBT NO ONE (IN THAT GROUP) RETURNED TO RECOVER IT. Wood, rocks, rusty iron, buttons, rubber boot and mud is IMHO, the only thing left there. :confused: The ONLY people going to benefit...

    repost F/s or trade vanquish 440

    Flint...440 user here, and in my opinion you've made a good transaction. It's a super light, super simple and super fast recovery machine. Enjoy and HH!!!!

    Noah's Ark still in Turkey

    Firm believer here...but you cannot convince me that it or anything else is Noah's Ark. Salvation is based on "Faith" in things unseen, given God's unwarranted Grace along with Jesus' work on the cross. Finding THE Ark would "prove" God is real and destroy the need for "Faith" in the unseen...

    What does "Scales" means on an 1877 map?

    My guess..."rural/agricultural" regions, especially crops like cotton, grain, hay, etc. would provide a higher frequency of weigh stations (scales) than ranch (cattle, sheep, swine, etc.) area.

    Five digit Sterling Silver marking?

    Reads "SI" to me and logic says "no reason to stamp in one direction, then invert and stamp in another".

    FBI failed to find fabled Civil War gold worth $400m

    Wait...what???? Y'all saying there's GOLD lying around...hiding out there!!!!! If that's true...my damn detector's been keeping it a secret from me. :oops: :mad: For sale or trade, one slightly...(actually smashed/unrecognizable) blind, lying, stupid non-detector. ETA - - - BUT...if you're...

    Moving to Texas from NJ

    Big? Not very...2-3 ft. The large rattlers are in the Tx Hill country (Central, TX) region. My dad was a rice farmer...water moccasins were my worst nemesis. He and I dispatched 84 one afternoon with 410 shotguns. Snakes...Texas has em all, incl. Coral snakes...but, only seen one of them when...

    Minelab Manticore

    Good luck guys! Love MineLab, but I'm just not convinced anymore that "more $$, means dramatically more treasure". At least not for you and I...but, for them... 🧐 ETA - IMHO...it's still more "LOCATION and PATIENCE", than "MACHINE"!!

    Moving to Texas from NJ

    One last pc. of advice re: beach hunting in Texas...beware...be very aware, there are rattle snakes (lots of them) in the salt grass. Stay on the beach unless you're snake experienced and carrying something stout that's longer than the snake or goes "BANG"! Not joking.
