    Makro Gold Racer Question

    Approximately a couple weeks ago I noticed that every time I turn on my machine, small 4x7 coil & default settings, I get a pulsating overload type sound. As soon as I back the sensitivity off of 90 the sound goes away and the unit seems to be performing normally. With the stock 5.5x10 coil it...

    Makro Gold Racer - Tot Lot Find

    Pretty impressed with the Gold Racer today in the chips. Loud, solid tone and numbers (don't recall now) at 2" easy using the small elliptical. Try as I might I couldn't find the rest. Only $8 in melt value (4.8 grains using my powder scale) but it's nice to know it'll hit hard on the small stuff.

    Threshold - Loud or Nothing - Is it me?

    Black Widow Headphones wired with Garrett Connector Problems

    I bought a set of used Black Widow headphones that are wired with the stock ATPro/Gold connector. It has individual volume control and two 2-position switches. Regardless of switch position I get a barely audible tone with volume control at 100%. They're in good shape but useless as they are...

    USMA Class Ring Found & Returned to Iraq Veteran

    I was asked to search a beach to help a veteran find his West Point Class ring. What a great feeling to be successful and make the return; the smiles and bear hug was the bonus! I live in some highly mineralized country but this beach was incredibly harsh. Best I saw on my CTX w/ 17" coil Auto...

    Search Techniques - Keeping track of where you've been?

    I had an opportunity to look for and find a wedding band for a young couple on a large River yesterday, great feeling to return such a special item. My question is what techniques besides dragging the scoop and using shore landmarks do you use to best cover an area? I was given an area about...

    Will a CTX ID a Diamond Tennis Bracelet?

    I've been asked to locate a 18k Diamond Tennis Bracelet and the closest thing my my wife has is a dainty 10k Black Hills Gold bracelet that the stock coil does not see in 1 1/2" of grass. It looks like tennis bracelets have quite a bit of gold in them compared to my wife's bracelet but I'd like...

    You folks were the closest to Springfield I could find. I live in WA and will be visiting my son and 3 grandchildren in Springfield from Apr-May. I'm sure I'll want to take a break and plan to bring my Nokta Fors CoRe or CTX. Not crazy about letting the airlines throw my CTX around but we'll...

This is the 3rd time it has come unscrewed fortunately I noticed it before I drove off the other times. The bright side is Minelab is sending me another piece. I separate the upper and lower...

    Lightweight CTX Compatible Headphones - Garrett Easy Stow

    Thought I'd pass this along... the Garrett Easy Stow headphones are compatible with the CTX without any wiring mods and since the earcups swivel flat they fit perfect in the side pocket of the CTX bag. We drove a couple hours this weekend to spend some time with my son and his family and I...

    Not Getting Clean Tones Except for the Shallowest of Targets

    I live in an area along the Columbia River in WA/OR that has high mineralization. Many detectors struggle to give clean tones except on the most shallow targets unless running a single tone and using little to no discrimination. I have used my Fors CoRe a little over 15 hours in parks, yards...

    Don't Pass up Shallow Targets for Deep Old Stuff!

    I was at a park yesterday and besides the normal clad I dug 5 early 1900s wheats at approx 4-5" in a small area. As the wheats dried up I got a solid 12-42 which I was able to get strongly with my propointer so out came the screwdriver and as I popped up the sod, out came a silver dime... a...

    Tesoro Tiger Shark - Removable vs Hardwired Coil

    I have a hardwired 8" Tiger Shark but thinking about a 10.5" coil for a little more coverage. I see some older detachable coil models up for sale every once in awhile, which would be a great option for swapping coils, but I'm assuming Tesoro went to hardwired coils for reliability and/or folks...

    Bongo Ties - Great Cable-to-Pole Wrap

    I bought a used detector and it came with Bongo Ties instead of Velcro cable wraps and thought I'd share. They hold the cable snug to the pole and the cable will not slide or loosen.

    Is it Possible to Email Programs?

    Can someone direct me to a link or instructions how the new owner of my CTX could pull my programs and email them to me? I sold my 2013 CTX and it's now in the mail fortunately I didn't do a factory reset because I didn't save the programs in my Exchange 2; can't believe I didn't check first...
