    Silver w/4" coil

    Well, I had gotten tired of trying for all those gold rings, so I slipped on my 4" coil for the second time and put the Silver at the point where the tabs just "click" and had another couple of hunts. Found a few coins next to tabs and was able to find some coins against sidewalks and posts...

    Silver w/4" at small fair....

    :cam: Well, I finally switched coils w/my Royal Sabre to consider the merits of getting a 5.75" coil and the short hunt settled the matter-gotta have it! The 4" coil is not very deep but sure hits. The find at the top left MAY be something like a roman coin-I'm debating how I'm gonna clean it...

    sling for heavy coils, detectors

    Here's help for heavy coils, or detectors-it''s my modified version of another forum post. I use the thicker bungee and just wrap it around the handle and because of it's width it doesn't rub or mar the handle. Sorry for the bad camera-I'm actually much handsomer!:devil: This should help the...

    sling for heavy coils, detectors

    First off, I apologize-I'm much handsomer than the pictures indicate=faulty camera. For those my age-this is pretty nice and is my version from another forum. I use the thicker bungee because it can wrap around the handle and is soft enough not to scratch the finish. The only fault is that you...

    Backwards world!:ranting:

    I searched for two weeks in relic mode on my Ace trying to find rings without any luck. Well, I just plain got tired of picking trash so I switched to coins mode-I did, however, add the cursor just before the nickel just in case I got a LONG foil signal, which means a BIG piece of foil or maybe...

    smiley inserts

    Has my computer gone bad or picked up a virus? The animated smileys that are attached to some posts on this forum have frozen. Sorry to bother my favorite forum, but would you guys help?

    bfo discrimination:cam:

    Well, my concerns about the natural ability of a bfo to discriminate small nails,paper clips, etc. interfering with the detection of small gold have been reduced. Found these small items as well as a large nail, tin key and "sherriffs" badge, and several large nuts and bolts-coins not pictured...

    Question for Monte

    I've really enjoyed your articles on 120-180 discrimination, as well as the masking articles. Maybe I've missed the answer to this one-if so I apologize. Could a LESS sensitive detector actually out perform other detectors since the electromagnetic field is not as deep and therefore would cause...

    I've gone wacko, but...

    Took out my Garrett Hunter BF0 (circa 1965) and switched to 3 1/2" coil for testing. A handful of paperclips caused a slight decrease in beat but when a 10K ring was placed under them it quickly increased in frequency. Not a single nail or screw such is in most photos when they show an a/m hunt...

    walking cane=detector

    I am interested in finding a schematic with IC chips that can be connected to form a simple BFO metal detector that can be fitted into a homemade walking cane. I ride a bicycle and sometimes have to leave it outside to shop or whatever, and with such a setup I could take it w/me without being...

    Senior moment

    OK, guys. Don't be hard on this old guy. I said I couldn't find a trimmer in my Silver umax. But I just KNEW that Tab, Monte, and the others HAD to know more than me. Well, I opened it up once more and became braver and actually stretched the wires and pots from the breadboard and that lil' blue...

    Jewelry markings followup

    Well, here's how the dilemna with the rings marked 14KF^ turned out. They were the real deal! The 14K, of course, shows the gold content. The "F" and "^" turned out to be Friedman's and their hallmark. Once I get the technique of the camera and the magnifying glass down I will send pics-but I...

    Jewelry markings

    Well, here's how the dilemna worked out on the rings that had 14KF^. It turns out they were the real thing-14K rings! The F stands for Friedman's and the triangular marking "^" is their hallmark. As soon as I learn how to use the camera and the magnifying glass technique I will send pics-but I...

    Jewelry markings

    At first I thought I had found a silver ring, then I saw the marking 14KF. I thought it might be 14K FILLED, but then I saw where that would be 14KGF. Is it a 14K(white gold) ring?

    Jewelry markings

    At first I thought I had found a silver ring but then I saw the marking 14KF. I thought it was 14k white gold FILLED, but I saw where that should be GF instead of just KF. Is it 14K gold(white)?

    CZ-5

    No one offered to buy my CZ-so I decided to start using it. What's the best way for jewelry? The doggone thing is pretty accurate most of the time and I'm digging a lot of tabs. Seems like I get the most non-tab items in the square tab region. I'm beginning to ignore the faint foil sounds. And...

    Headphone jack

    I have an el cheapo Wally World bounty hunter w/out a headphone jack. I want to install a Radio Shack phone jack. Would you just run the two wires that go to the speaker to it and place a resistor across two of the posts-one from the speaker side to the jack side? Thanks.

    New vs. old CZ-5

    I have a CZ-5 w/metal cuff and see posts all thru here how this machine is supposed to be less sensitive than the "newer" style CZ. I'm constantly finding stuff my other detectors won't touch with my supposedly less sensitive CZ w/metal cuff. I didn't find this out until I posted mine for sale...

    CZ 5

    Finally got pics of my CZ. Where is the correct forum to advertise it for sale? Thanks:shrug:
