    Ctx question

    First thing I would do is ask him to get what needs fixing on the CTX fixed because everything is expensive from Minelab. If I was him the first thing I would do is ask if you have any warranty left on the 800 , if you don't , he should go his way and stay friends and buds

    Banning of metal detecting

    Same here , next door and mostly desert impoundments for lakes that are State Parks. The majority of the patrons drive monster trucks , dirt bikes and dune buggers up and down the beaches until all hours of the night but using a metal detector could result in confiscation.:mad:(n)

    Banning of metal detecting

    Mainly it is rooted 90% in ignorance and 10% in obstinance. When you get the opportunity to explain to people the benefits of aerating the soil and removing the trash the consistently stubborn types will still not relent and accept that their position against detecting is wrong. I used to think...

    I found hundreds of pounds in 6 months detecting 1 hour per day

    A funny thing about that,,,,,I'm sure you have heard the "dig everything" theory and I tried that a few times in Al infested areas around picnic tables and under lights but it never turned up anything as well as digging those unusually good harmonic low conductive signals , especially with the...

    I found hundreds of pounds in 6 months detecting 1 hour per day

    Back 10 or 12 years ago I used to average some where between $900 to $1100 in pocket change every year as well as a silver item almost every hunt.. I would tumble twice a month , dump the good stuff in the bank lobby machine and the zincs in the coinstar at Walmart. I have roughly 70 pounds of...

    Does Nokta Makro not honor their warranty?

    The warranty does not imply that the coverage is transferable to another buyer either , certainly an oversight in stating the conditions as I would assume it was transferable as well. If I remember right Fisher does not transfer warranty to second user/owner as well so it's not an unheard of...

    Update question/s NM Legend

    If nothing else the bottle cap rejection in 1.11 makes it worth it. Used judiciously so good targets are not discriminated out it makes some of the modern trash pits a lot more enjoyable in the MF settings . I hunt in 4khz quite a bit which is a battery hog so the BC rejection certainly extends...

    New Legend Owner

    For that kind of detecting , I'm not the guy you want under center. ;)I would probably noise cancel , ground balance , pick field and go with sensitivity on 30 in A or G to start with recovery at 4,,,,,I probably wouldn't find much either but would probably do a lot of digging:)

    Use the KISS technique , it really is a lot simpler than it seems. Let the machine find the best frequency , ground balance , set it to track the ground and go for it. I work in a few settings as I go along and get familiar but really recovery speed and frequency are the ones you will play with...

    Dogs and metal detectors

    Just like duck hunting there's no better companion than a dog when you're detecting , this guy was proof of that

    PayPal & eBay income tax information

    Take the time to make the buyer a friend. Talk on the phone or at least have a little bit of online conversation to know you're dealing with a real person who has a certain level of honesty still left in their system. If you're the seller , your risk is that the buyer says it never arrives and...

    PayPal & eBay income tax information

    You are going to have to prove you lost money on anything you generate a paper trail on or you will get taxed on it. However , the part everyone overlooks is the sales tax. As soon as you report a sale , even if you have a loss , the State you live in may pick up the sale and make you pay the...

    PayPal & eBay income tax information

    I think they deferred it because the Inflation Reduction Act which it is part of was passed in the first quarter of last year and made the $600 a retro active thing for many who had already exceeded that amount and it was deemed to be unfair at that point. However , I never heard anything about...

    PayPal & eBay income tax information

    That was for tax year 2022. I don't think it has been delayed in 2023 and they will nail you for having to justify any balance that totals over the $600 this year. Unless you are already filing the appropriate forms and running a business be prepared or use friends & family or USPS money orders.

    Headphones?

    If I was forced to hunt without headphones I would quit. Hunting without them is also at the top of the inconsideration level if you are in any contact with others at most anytime. Obviously it sounds as if you are not but nonetheless , without a clear threshold and the amplification the...

    Lost My Pin Pointer.... Damn It..! Need Advice

    I fold up a small piece of paper with my name and contact info and put it in the cap with "reward" in it. Never have left one behind but always thought it might work for cheap insurance. I'm so accustom to using the Garrett I would simply buy another , great product.

    Question about Legend battery recharge for both the wireless headset and detector, also what the timeline would be for battery life on the unit.

    Battery life is a subject I have had issues with but it really depends on how you are using it. 4K frquency , backlight , vibration etc all change the duration you will get from a charge. I don't use the wireless headsets so can't comment on that but I have gotten battery warnings in as little...

    1.11

    I use it in most of the public parks I hunt just to save time doing all the stuff mentioned above to discern good or cap targets , especially in parks where there are new visible bottle caps just laying on the surface. Happy to see the "no glass containers" regulation is so stringently followed...

    My Legend is a "DUD"

    Sounds like your dealer's knowledge paid off.

    Ever open your tumbler and find PINK quarters or dimes ??????

    Dawn dish detergent and crusher fines works just fine for my stuff , add a little vinegar every now and then and about 5 or 6 hours and they're clean enough to go back into circulation. The banks here won't take them if they're rolled anymore so I just dump them in the bank coin machine. No fee.
