    Quattro Question

    The Washers on the Quattro is the tear drop rubber washers that many of the Minelabs use. Most good Minelab dealer should have them in stock or the auction site. These wear out with moving the coil so they are probably wore out and wont hold tight. now if you are using the factory bolt with new...

    Fail to Pinpoint On End Coins

    I think that any coin at a angle will read off center and will not pinpoint correctly, so since I used the Sovereign plus any of the Minelabs I use the tip of the coil to go around my target to see if it reads in the same spot in disc then go to pinpoint all metal and double check and see if...

    Garrett Metal Detectors Love Coins And Jewelry!

    Thanks for your opinion John and will try it some more, thought I must be doing something wrong and thought I would check if anyone else was having a problem. Have to give my instruction to my Grandson and let him try as it seem the younger generation is smarter on this stuff as I found out...

    Garrett Metal Detectors Love Coins And Jewelry!

    Lookin good with your VX9 you have, I also have one and going to get out soon with it as our ground is still froze. I can see it is going to be different but what I have seen it maybe not that hard to learn, but like any detector can fool you. One thing I wonder about as I want to update it and...

    Official Red Book of US Coin Values

    My opinion is that this was a reg half that someone may have carried it in their pockets long time as a good luck piece as it is wore out. as you see it is thinner on the edges and there is a lot of scratches on it as it is wore out and you can check the weight and see what the weight is and see...

    Needing a new Shovel

    Looks like a great shovel and would do the trick for many of us that do farm fields. The only thing is using these in parks and lawns as some say the shovels do a great job digging plugs and able to make it look good. I know many use these in parks and such and seen some videos that look great...

    Question

    If I read this right when you use the X1 probe after you locate the signal with the Explorer then go to pinpoint and use the X1 probe it is not too stable if the detector is set on manual, but in semi auto it sounds OK. The reason for this is in manual it sees more including interference if...

    Just Curious.

    Del I seem to always have a positive attitude when talking detecting and a lot of detecting, but when working I am like many and have a negative attitude as I want to be out detecting or at least talking about it. Rick

    New Vortex vx 9

    Good to hear there is a field test, maybe not too much, but most are new to this detector and many of us have some snow and frozen ground around. I been doing a feel air test and coins on the floor of my bar when I get some time and do see it does well on ID with the nails and other metal under...

    Just Curious.

    From my experience of 51 years ( 1973) I find that if the ground is somewhat wet it seems to do better, but if it is slopping wet I seem to get less depth as I hear more erratic signals and hard to hear the deep weaker signals. If I wait a day or so and go back over the area I seem to find more...

    Minelab "The Sovereign" A few questions...

    The manual you posted is the original Sovereign which work good, but the next model a couple of years after that was the Sovereign XS which is the model that made the Sovereigns so well known. They had the original, the XS, the XS2 and then the XS2 a which added another switch to make it a...

    Whites Treasure Pro on “OVERLOAD”

    If getting the overload you do have it away from any metal, if on a table or bench can cause this. Another thing I do is disconnect the coil from the control housing and see if it quiets down, if it does I think you have a bad coil or like it was said something is in the coil cover, if it dont...

    What voltage do you replace your 9 volt batteries in your detector?

    Good to hear they work for you, and maybe they are different than the ones I have tried. I tried them around 8 or 9 years ago and they sure didn't workout for me, the biggest problem was with my UniProbe as it would not run smooth unless they were freshly charged as they got very erratic with in...

    Is there any smaller coils for the new Voltex ??

    You are correct on the headphone adapter as got in the one for the ATP as I looked at the wire that come with my wireless headphones and I thought it used the same style connector to the detector and I looked at the one on the V9 and used my flashlight and see it was a odd one and looked more...

    Metal Detecting Tools

    OH Oh I almost left this post when I seen the shovels as it is a touchy subject for me, but glad I didn't as most of this is interesting and people need to see. The Shovels is something are made for a purpose, that is field hunting and construction site where it don't make a difference as it...

    Garrett deep seeker coin finder

    If you are new to detecting than I would not buy it. There is a lot of controls to learn what they do and I think from the looks of it you will be all ways readjusting it. Like I say if you are new to detecting you want something easy to use or you will get discussed with detecting fast. I bet...

    I have aquestion concerning the Minelab X-Terra Elite

    That's interesting and do feel this is what Garrett is doing with the new Voltec 5,7, and the 9 as I do have a 9 and still learning it, but the difference is if you have a 5 and want go to the 7 you can purchase and unload it to your 5 and if you want the 9 from the 5 that can be done too, but...

    What voltage do you replace your 9 volt batteries in your detector?

    Interesting topic and my opinion maybe just mine, but on my Tesoro's and my uni probe pin pointer that take 9 volt battery to operate I tried rechargeable 9 volt batteries and found that they only put out 8.5 or something like that, but the Uni probe would just chatter and be unstable with the...
