    Tone question on the Delta.

    I was wondering if someone could tell me, at what number does the high tone come in at on the Delta? Thanks. Mick Evans.

    Took the GTI out with a different mindset today.

    I've been pondering the virtues of using a non metered detector lately. Although I have been able to swing a detector much in the last few months, it was good to get out with the GTI for just under an hour. I armed it withe the 5x10 DD coil as I prefer it's faster recovery speed and audio info...

    Man I'm getting annoyed for this slow net connection.

    Went over the limit last week (2 megs) and are now operating at half dial up speed.:throw: It's been over a week now and still got a couple of days to go before we are back to normal. Took the oportunity to update our net plan. That will massively increase our download speed to 9 megs a second...

    Why do non metered detectors out perform metered detectors?

    I've very curious about this as it's been bugging me for a while. I've seen a number of folk comment that there coin count goes up when using a non metered machine like the Tesoros and Garrett Gold Stinger. One of those accounts was by someone here in Australia using a Cibola. He was finding $1...

    Second time determined! (off subject.)

    I know this isn't about detecting, but a few of you may remember a couple of posts back in 2007 about my brother Geoff's attempt to swim the English Chanel. He had to battle against a 5m(15 foot) swell in that attempt (that's what it was 6 hours before he took off at 11:30 at night only 30 Min's...

    The BIG moment is here.(Off subject.)

    A few of you might remember that back in 2007, my brother Geoff, attempted to swim the English Chanel. Due to heavy seas from a major storm that hit that whole region, he failed in that attempt, only completing the first 12kms in a 5 meter swell (15 feet). Not to be put off, he has gone back...

    How good is the tone of the Scorp and it's target separation?

    I was wondering how much faster the Scorp's recovery speed is compared to the Ace and also how easily is it to tell coins from other targets with it? The reason I ask is because I just watched an instructional video on the Scorp, that was done by Garrett's and notched that the edges of the tones...

    Had a bit of fun today and found a coin on the wrong side of the world.

    I took the 70 out for quite an enjoyable hunt today at my fav spot. I decided to be a bit looser with the TID than I normally am, due to learning that there were a lot of coins that have been pulled out of this spot in the last few weeks that I've clearly been walking over. (Always nice to find...

    Broke in the SE today.

    My poor old XS finally reached the end of it's practical service life last week end, so I replaced it with the SE yesterday. I was just starting to get used to it too. I managed to hunt for a couple of hours at a favourite site, pulling up the usual suspects and felt like the pied piper for...

    Is the SE Pro still commonly for sale in the US as a new detector?

    It's no longer available here in Oz as far as I can see. It seems that the local stores fazed it out when the E-Trac came onto the market. I got to use an E-Trac today but felt that it's simply too heavy to swing at length and I'm not interested in trying to compensate for the weight. Thanks...

    Safari recovery Speed?

    Is the Safari's recovery speed about the same as the SE Explorer's? If not, is there much difference? Thanks. Mick Evans.

    Saw the real deal tonight. Holy Dollar.:ausflag:

    I had the privilege tonight to attend our local library (called the Macquarie Library) to see a presentation on the anniversary of 200 years since Governor Macquarie's Governorship commenced. The Library like the local river and plenty of places around here and Sydney also carry his name. It was...

    Ever done the right thing only to discover that you haven't?

    I took the Omega out on a hunt onto a local oval after a sporting carnival. While hunting where a large tent was set up that was used as a canteen, I got a good signal that hit like a 50c piece, about as large as well though I thought it may have been a bit bigger. Well it was a bit bigger and...

    gold sovereign vdi

    I can't tell you the number, but it's the same as a 50 cent piece. A half sovereign is about a single number under a 20 cent piece. Mick Evans.:ausflag:

    Had fun with the Ace today.

    I've only pulled once since January and was going to go out with the Omega today, but decided to have fun with the Ace instead. It sure was fun. So easy to tell what's what with it. I usually only have notches 6,7,8 and 11 open on it these days. Even after a long absence of not using it, it...

    Has anybody noticed the bar graph increasing over targets?

    I was playing around with the Omega today (sent it back the the detector Dr for a possible body transplant :stretcher:) and while going over targets, I noticed that on silver coins the FE bar graph lit up 3 bars. It would go over 2 on modern coins. I also noticed that it sometimes goes to 3 bars...

    Is the Omega 8000 a repackaged Fisher F70?

    Apart from a few minor differences, ie, Frequency, battery and handle arrangement, is there any real difference in these 2 detectors. Is there anything about them in the field that makes the Omega 8000 a better detector than the Fisher F70? I've been looking closely at the F70 but I can't see...

    A matter of tones.

    Hi all. I've been looking into the F series of detectors and have a couple of questions, if some could answer them for me? I've been watching a number of video clips on all of the F series and been listening to their audio systems. I've noticed that the F2 and F4 have the same tones system...

    Had a good hunt today with a bit of a light bulb moment.

    I've dusted off the old XS over the last week and have hit the ground running with it. I've set it up in audio 2 (not a fan of the normal tones yet) and had fast and deep off. I took it for a spin earlier in the week with significantly higher finds than I'm used too. Anyway, fast forward to...
