    Does anyone know?....

    Am thinking about the sniper coil for my birthday. Does it have the tonal qualities like the 9X6-longer tones on nickels and gold but quick short signals on small foil and trash? Appreciated.

    The small coil stays!

    I got the 5.75" for Christmas and it STAYS on the Silver umax. It hits nickels HARD and also finds the tiniest of items with a good signal. And the depth surprised me. The earring in the photo was eyeballed and I found out that this size of gold required the a/m mode. Later on I found the gold...

    5.75" COIL'S A GOOD'UN

    First came the hard part-convincing my wife that the package HAD to be opened to TEST the coil before Christmas.:rofl: Then, the testing had to be SERIOUS.:rofl: So, since my 8" coil was broken on the Royal Sabre and since it was an older detector, I had to make sure it would work.:rofl: Of...

    Turned into a pretty good day.....

    I was supposed to find a lost ring for a friend, but they just don't seem to wanna answer my phone calls even on a day like today when I told them I would call. Well, I was in the gold ring mood and had all the things down pat that I would do-search in a/m mode, use the 4" coil, etc. I passed a...

    Santa's coming!:jump:

    I just received my verification from my bank that SOMEONE? purchased a 5.75" coil to be under my tree!

    Hay's Mark I

    I have a Hay's Electronics Mark I that is just awesome as a T/R in finding gold-it's only downfall is the drift in the tuner. It's so sensitive it changes when going from the shade to the sun. Has anyone ever added any type of drift compensation to a T/R before? Thanks.

    Well, my Freedom III had company today....

    :rofl:Took the Silver umax out for ONE of my tot lots because it has equipment so close together (playground equipment, that is) and it has the 4" coil on it. It found the quarters and dime on the lower right. The Freedom III found the rest-a copper ring, some of the tiniest charms, quite a few...

    If and when you find a ring......

    Please be kind enough to tell us what mode you were in and where it hit on the scale (if ID), or your amount of discrimination, the sound of the target, or anything else you may think interesting. There are several of us working on ring programs and your input will be helpful-as well as useful...

    Completed the Ace-Freedom III eval today....

    [attachment 144620 HPIM0104.JPG] First, let me say I realized I had the Freedom III with an adjustable (finely) disc. control and I had it to where tabs would just barely click. So to compensate for this, I had the Ace in a comparable mode I discovered months ago and even posted it-but no one...

    Why are Ace users stuck with only 2 coils?

    I know there's the huge coil, also-but I just got back detecting with my Freedom III with the 71/4" coil and found not pennies BUT QUARTERS that have been passed over by me with the standard coils. Now these aren't new quarters that may have been recently dropped, but patina covered quarters...

    Bill, or anyone with a Freedom III coin commander......

    Of course you know that since I found the gold chain I had to get out more with it. Here's the puzzle. On the lower discriminate level, nickels will give a repeatable signal, but it literally just breaks up the whole signal width. It's the wierdest sound-yet the foil and canslaw are smooth! The...

    Is this a bunch of crock or what?

    [attachment 144088 HPIM0103.JPG][attachment 144087 HPIM0102.JPG]I've been reading all the Ace posts, and especially the latest on gold rings, and been trying to find gold ALL year. Well, today my wife wants to go shopping and I only have about an hour and a half of sunlight so I try to take an...

    A question for Monte......

    I own 3 different brands of metal detectors and marvel at some of the posts I read. Can you tell me if I hunt in moderately mineralized areas with my discrimination set at just above nails, on two of them, the other at bottlecaps, at local parks, schools, tot lots,etc. why I should buy another...

    The rain stopped after 5 weeks......

    [attachment 142870 HPIM0079.JPG]It was so bad the best I could find for 4 weeks were these critters in my front yard! Finally got out with my Ace and Silver umax-so I had to post on this forum-thankful we have it. My Ace has the big coil but I had the 4" coil on the Silver in more confined...

    How long has it been raining here?....

    Well, these critters were in my front yard-downtown!

    Started the day out right:cam:

    Went to get gas, bought a couple of lottery tickets(first time in a long time) and went out to a few schools (it's been raining for almost 3 weeks straight) and didn't expect to find much with my Silver umax. I was scratching off the tickets while filling the tank and lo and behold I won enough...

    Computer problem?

    Several have sent posts on this and other forums on this site and where the little white square box usually has jpeg attachments (that's what it says when I put the mouse pointer on it) it now only seems to have a little dot in the middle. I confused one poster as he thought he didn't send his...

    Happy but mystified...

    Since it's been raining 2-3 weeks in a row, I haven't been to the tot lots-cause they haven't been used for that long. So I've had to go to the trashy spots and use coins mode. Well,, one of the schools has a trashy part that no one searches so I just go to sens#2 in the coins mode and hope to...

    A "why" question for Bounty Hunter...

    Several years back there was a Technetics Road Runner which had the basic circuitry of the Tracker on a circuit board 1/4 the size of the Tracker circuit board-only it was preset to split the tones at zinc penny. Why can't they put out a Fastracker using this board and do away with all the...

    My story (sad):(

    It's been raining for TWO-THREE weeks straight and sometimes a 30 minute hunt is a blessing. I thought all my fun was goin' to start because the sun was out this am.:bouncy: Then I realized the kids hadn't been outside the schools for 3 weeks to replenish them or the parks or tot lots for that...
