    Pro pointer and MXT interference

    I was touting how well the Garrett pro pointer works on a previous thread but I just wanted to give a heads up for MXT users. When you turn on the PP you will get some EMI on the MXT. This hasn't bothered me cuz I turn off my MXT as soon as I'm able to get a signal from the target on the PP. I...

    F/S, F/T Fisher 1280x w/10" coil and accessories

    I have F/S or possible trade my Fisher 1280x that I bought used in "like new" condition (honestly) off ebay on 12-17-09 for $599. I have filled-out warranty card to attest to that. It is the newer model with hard-wired, waterproof headphones. I used this detector for about 6 weeks ( 60-80 hours...

    First IDX pro find

    I just added a beautiful IDX pro w/mods to my quiver so I decided to put on the royal 800 coil and take it for a little test drive in my backyard to get a feel for it. Third target dug was this incredible ornate little buckle at 3". It's approx. 1/2"w. x 1-1/4"l. It has very detailed sunburst...

    New site gives up some goodies

    Got out yesterday to do my first hunt at a new site I posted about on the Whites Main forum. Although I didn't find any silver coins I did manage to pull out a few decent finds including 2 pieces of silver, 2 wheats, and a small cache. The cache consisted of two heavy copper coasters or candle...

    Been making use of my time...

    ...while I've been on IR. A good friend just bought a house in town and look what I found. I helped him with some chores to pay my "exclusive rights to search" fee and am hoping to get over there soon to do my first-ever private home search. I'm posting a few photos to get any input or advice...

    Mystery "Nugget"

    First off, it appears to have been hand-worked or melted on top of something man-made so I'm not saying it's a natural nugget. On the one side there appears to be an unnaturally flat area and two perpendicular lines. That being said the rest of the "nugget" looks somewhat natural with a very...

    First Hunt in a Month

    Best $.39 I've ever found ! It actually didn't start out as a hunt but rather a little feelout of my new 10"DD and pro pointer. Ended up hunting about 2 hrs. in my backyard and everything I dug up is in the photo, including trash. Along with the little bit of clad I found two old toy metal plane...

    My first deal with Larry (IL) won't be my last

    Larry's ( Central Illinois Detectors ) reputation as a master detectorist is unquestioned but I'm here to tell you that his integrity in doing business is just as high.

    Heads up if you're shopping craigslist

    for detectors in the San Francisco bay area. Thought I had a really good deal on a used XLT but after driving 2 hours the deal had changed. Came home to find it re-listed for more. So if you see a used XLT Spectrum for sale with a dent on the right side of the screen, no pads in the elbow cup, a...

    Fun find

    Here's an interesting find ( I thought ) that I made in my backyard awhile back. My first sprinkler. It might not be valuable but it was fun to find. Believe it or not it was a challenge to find because it was backed right up against a reinforced concrete slab about 2" down. The interference...

    Hollow copper ring ?

    I found this copper ( brass ? ) metal ring about 3-4" down in my backyard. I was using an MXT with 6x10 DD and it gave me a solid VDI of 20 and locked on in both directions. As I was pretty certain I had a nickel in my sights, if not a gold ring, I was a little disappointed when I pulled this...

    Silver ring #10...in my own backyard

    Found this heavy silver band during a short hunt with the MXT in my backyard yesterday. I accidentally posted the whole story on White's main forum if you care to read it. HH Scott

    You just never know...

    I know we all say that repeatedly but it proved to be very descriptive of the experience I had yesterday. I'm suffering from a serious back injury so I haven't been able to hunt for weeks. After reading some posts on GB'ing tips and tricks with the MXT, I decided to take my machine out into the...

    5.3 coil question

    I bought a used 5.3 coil a while back but I'm wondering if it is working properly or if it's defective. It seems to have trouble locking on to coin targets unless they are pretty shallow. When I re-swipe a signal, the VDI keeps going up and up the more I swipe over the target. Even when the...

    Silver Key

    I took the 5.3 coil out for the day, determined to get a better feel for it. We definitely made some progress. I made my best find of the day on my first hunt in a play lot at an elementary school from 1947. (That's pretty old around here) The silver key is stamped .925 with what looks like a...
