    I picked up a 10.5" CZ20 and while air testing I get a high tone on nickels and 3 sizes of gold rings except within 2-3" of the coil, then I get a mid tone. I also have a 8" CZ20 and I get a solid mid tone through all air tested depths, as designed; settings were identical. Two questions Is...

    Newspaper Printing Press Plate

    Lead/Copper printers plate found on ranch land about 6 miles out of town. To bad it wasn't complete. According the internet the quote was copyrighted Jun 26, 1907 "We'll treat you like an old friend and try to make one of you" Maybe a bank ad? The local paper said they'd try to help me locate...

    Outlaw with 9x8 Concentric, Coil Question?

    I may pick up a used Outlaw with a 9x8 coil. I've never the 9x8 coil on a Epsilon unit so I'm curious how they compare to the 8" donut. I sold my Outlaw a few yrs back and only used the 5.75, 8, 12x10, 11x8, and clean sweep coils; my favorites being the 8, 5.75, and clean sweep.

    Backphones Ear Pinch Adjustment

    Backphones tend to pinch the top of my ear and don't lay flat on my ear. I was considering opening up the bend a little by using a heat gun. I see there is a wire thru to the other ear piece but I don't think it'll get hot enough to cause damage. Any other ideas?

    Operating Deus in 6+ Bars on Mineralization Index

    I've used my Deus a little over 8 hrs now and except for shallow (less than 1.5") targets or in park chips I cannot confidently state what I'm digging. I know my soil is highly mineralized given how few detectors operate well, let alone deep with reliable ID here. In the chips of 1-2 bars the...

    Deus Newbie prep for 3hr Park Hunt Tomorrow.

    I used a 9" Deus in my backyard (first hunt) for about 45 minutes this afternoon and pulled 3 targets, a grommet, small flattened lead, and a bent nail. I've tested 15+ detectors over my yard in the last 4 years, including 2 PIs, so I wasn't expecting anything easy but I think I drank the Deus...

    Re-Purposed Whites 6000/D

    Been wanting to do this for a while so today I swung by a thrift store and picked up an antique lamp, a longer spindle from Home Depot and about a hour later it was in our family room. This is a working detector and I made no modifications to the box or rod. I placed lead fishing weights in the...

    1882 cc Morgan Dollar!

    I've been dabbling in metal detecting since 1973 and got serious about it in 2013, a few years after I retired, when I unboxed my 73 Garrett Ghostowner. I'm lucky to find 8 silvers a year but I think that's because I hunt mostly parks and schools that have been hit many times by others. Last...

    Whites 6000D Series 2 Battery Info Please

    I bought a Coinmaster 6000D Series 2 with the intent to covert it into a table lamp. I plugged in two 9v battery's and it powered up and there was some shallow detection. Before I turn it into a lamp I'd like to get the correct battery setup installed and see how it performs. Who knows maybe...

    My $6 Travel Shaft

    Hopping on a plane for Springfield, Ill in a few days and wanted to take the CTX instead of the Makro. The stock shaft won't fit in either a carry-on nor standard checked bag so I decided to build my own for this trip. May end up buying the Anderson travel shaft at some point dependent on my...

    Waterproof Headphone Repair Parts

    I noticed that a plastic nut on my CTX Gray Ghost Underwater Headphones is cracked and the compression insert is not tight against my cable at the opening (oblong). Are these parts available to the consumer? Seems like a simple and quick repair with the proper parts. Thank you & HH

    WTB: Tesoro Silver

    I'd like to find a used Silver (small box) for my grandkids to use when then visit. I have a 5.75 coil to throw on it now and as they get stronger they can move up to the 8. I thought about picking up a Compadre but I like the idea of turning down the sensitivity which limits them to the...

In Disc 1 or Disc 2 , sens 87, ID filter 16 - I hear a tone 2" or more deeper than the screen target ID. In All Metal, sens 87, threshold light hum - I got a target ID at approx...
