    Looking for the Nokta Macro bluetooth headset

    I tried these and found them to be serviceable but not acceptable to my razor sharp reflexes and did not care for the lag. On the other hand , the Avantree Torus you mentioned are the clear winner out of all the ear buds and alternate un-wired devices I have tried,,,highly recommend them. The...

    Got somewhat hassled this morning.

    Enjoy the opportunity , all the schools here look like mediium security prisons now. There are no laws against detecting the property but there is no longer access to almost all of the schools regardless if there are students present or not. Tens of millions of dollars of public property...

    Why no Manticore forum?

    I think Minelab is too cheap to sponsor one.

    XP Deus distributor has sold out and have informed us they won't be needing this forum any longer.

    Seems it would be a corporate decision that the cost of the forum sponsorship is more than the perceived value it generates in revenue , if I am understanding the OP correctly. Simple bean counting I suppose but how do you put a value on the exposure the forum provides?

    I just purchased the Legend.

    I'm a total tech misfit and managed to do the update to 1.11. If this is a new machine from a dealer I am surprised they would sell one that was not updated with the latest.

    Why all the 800 hate?

    You might be confusing distaste for the corporate shenanigans of Minelab for 800 hate. Their marketing strategy and lack of customer appreciation coupled with the refusal to deny they have some quality control issues has left a bad image in a lot of peoples minds. When my etrac and CTX became...

    M3 ?

    Seems a bit less noise EMI wise than M1,2 and most of my grounds are artificially watered(sprinklers) over conductive ground so it seems appropriate. It is also one click away from 4k , wish it was one click back to M3

    LEAKING NOX 800

    None of the new ones will leak if you don't get them wet and since ML admitted the issue with the introduction of the 700 and 900 , who would take the chance. That alone would have to be a huge factor in the veracity of any information pertaining to it's ability to withstand water infiltration.

    Who thinks that settings make any difference.

    I find the best way to get the most depth is to use the settings correctly. If you turn the gain setting way down it won't make any difference how wet the ground is you will lose depth. Granted , some settings have a greater effect on performance than others but to imply settings have little to...

    What would you have done?

    I had a similar incident but was able to track the highschooler down. Turns out he was a top tennis team prospect and I was able to contact the coach and eventually return the wallet with the $35 through the coach. The guy later found me detecting not far from where they practiced and came over...

    Where to bring specimens to confirm Gold content?

    Haven't been prospecting for 12 years but if I remember right pyrite will give off the odor of sulfur if smashed. Your friend doesn't have much to lose if he smashed a chunk , if it's gold it will just get flatter and bigger :) Does it look like this

    Is it gold?

    Nice ring but probably means it is gold BONDED which is a higher quality than plated , probably a little thicker.

    Ground Balance

    Not a "good" signal but I have seen really scratchy signals that I would probably not dig but caught my attention disappear if I kept trying to make it into a digable one;)

    Ground Balance

    I do the same thing(noise cancel) first but also always wonder if that is something which changes with each frequency and is the whole process necessary everytime a new frequency is selected. I don't change from M3 often but do on occasion. When I do check the GB manually , I find the reading...

    Incredible Collection

    My guess is the government will find a way to seize it now that they have come forward and exposed the collection. Brilliant!!

    Ground Balance

    I go auto then engage tracking. I'll rebalance/check occasionally but always make sure tracking is on. Virtually all my detecting is on man made landscape surfaces with alkaline sub surfaces of decomposed granite and the ground can change suddenly depending on what type of fill was used...

    Where to bring specimens to confirm Gold content?

    You're not providing near enough info to get a valid answer. I would look for a gold and silver dealer some where close to the area it came from to start and hope they would steer you to someone that could answer his questions , at least that person could probably confirm whether it's pyrite or...
