    Charging problem with new hf elliptical coil

    The battery you received was below the voltage level that the charger would recognize . If the battery voltage is low the charger will continue to try and charge it and then quit and will repeat again and again that little bit it charges each time raises the voltage where the charger recognizes...

I always hunt the trashies areas I can if aluminum is the key trash I will run 4 khz to 14 khz if iron is the main trash I will run 4 khz to 40 khz . Reactivity I run at 1 to 2 I just adjust my swing speed to density of targets . Silencer at...

    5 day hunt Illinois

    Depended where I was hunting have not played to much with settings . But given you can run 14kz in high conductor with 24 khz or 40 khz you could run 14khz and 40 khz and end up with deep low conductor . I am only guessing but seeing that you can change frequency to the same in each mode IDS...

    5 day hunt Illinois

    Yes you did I kept the deus 2 because of weight as far as performance the CTX deus 2 manticore and legend are pretty much on par . As far as the nox I just could not gel with it . A lot of those Indians were coming in lower than one would expect the deus 2 the # was always 83 to 84 but some of...

    Why are the Whites TRX Pinpointers in such demand???

    I still have 2 the biggest advantage is depth with tip only 4 inches on pennys . The depth comes in play when you have coins in that 4 inch range can pinpoint them very easy instead of having to use your detector to locate . Hard to detect a banger exactly where it is with your detector . I am...

    I would think your going to find out just how good that explorer was . I have went to places I have killed it with the CTX now using the deus2 the results were 1 wheat penny in 3 hours . Then another place I detected which was pretty good had more rusted bottle caps which are nothing but rust...

    Built a probe for my Manticore

    I just love how the deus 2 is for weight , I mainly hunt old coins my ground is mild to medium not very harsh the deus 2 checks the boxes for me lots of buttons lol . Adjustability for most situations as far as the manti just cost more and as engineer Mark said there would never be another...

    Built a probe for my Manticore

    I have used explore 2 and ctx for 20 years . I bought the deus 2 and manticore last year sold the manticore kept the deus 2 . This is just my opinion what either one you use seems that the biggest advantage is the separation of soil from the target . Meaning ground noise giving a more dig me...

    MINELAB Manticore Unmasking And Recovery Performance

    Seen many times people digging up something gold, right next to a bent square nail, or something similar. That's where the concentric coils shined, they sort of have the ability to nail both objects a little better than a DD coil This is because at depth the concentric coil acts as a smaller...
