    Manticore too deep for Park Detectorists?

    Fishnmaine, I understand your point. And I know some folks are "disturbed" when they see full-length shovels, and 8" to 12"-diameter holes being dug. BUT -- it's not the shovel, or the size of the hole that is the issue, in my opinion. It is instead the skill, and the conscientiousness of...

    Lower rods on Equinox 700/900

    Odanscoils, I hear you on that. I need to do some thinking, with my "engineering brain," and really study that lower rod piece, to try and figure out what advantage Minelab saw by doing it that way (which MAY have been as simple as simply making it easier to screw in the bolt, when not having...

    Lower rods on Equinox 700/900

    Treasurechic -- I'd be glad to get two of these to you, as soon as I have the parts to build them. Please send me an email, at steve@stevesdetectorrods.com (please include your name, but tell me that you are "Treasurchic" from Findmall), and I'll mark you down on my customer list for a...

    Epoxy recommendation for coil ear fix

    Nate -- I'd be curious to see what type of epoxy the manufacturers recommend. . A report back, if you think of it, on what you find out, would be interesting, and possibly helpful to others. Steve

    Epoxy recommendation for coil ear fix

    Natedogg -- sprchng's advice in his post is, in my view, ALMOST spot on. Abrading the surfaces with sandpaper, cleaning with isopropyl alcohol to remove dust/grease, etc. And yes, hitting it with a low flame from a propane torch is also valuable -- especially for many of the "harder to bond"...

    Lower rods on Equinox 700/900

    Odanscoils, got it! Yes, I plan to work on a design for Manticore lower rods, but that plastic piece in the end of the lower rod will take a good bit of work to "emulate." It's a bit of a complex piece, threaded on one side (i.e. there is no real "nut" for the "coil bolt," but instead the...

    Lower rods on Equinox 700/900

    In Equinox 900 lower rods, or in the Manticore shaft Odanscoils mentioned? Steve

    Lower rods on Equinox 700/900

    Odanscoils, I won't be able to do complete shafts for the Manticore, at least not anytime soon, and perhaps not at all. I may be able to eventually do lower rods for the Manticore, and possibly middle shafts. BUT -- the upper shaft of the Manticore has two plastic parts epoxied onto the...

    Manticore's Scores for the week

    Jeff, WOW. OUTSTANDING digs! They really are... BUT -- the MOST IMPORTANT thing I want to know -- given that you are talking "one-way signals" == are your LIMITS settings (expecially your "upper limits"). I don't think that a good many folks realize how adjusting your limits settings (up, or...

    Lower rods on Equinox 700/900

    Odanscoils -- thanks for letting me know that you'd be interested. I've been moving forward on this, as I realize it may be awhile before Minelab has spare lower rods available, and yet many folks already have several coils, from their 600/800, that some will want these new-size lower rods for...

    Great afternoon hunt with 900 silver

    Lower rods on Equinox 700/900

    mepot -- THANK YOU for the kind words! They are trying to, LOL! With that said, I'm looking into the possibility of making lower rods for the 700/900 -- at least so that folks can get spares, for some of their other coils, while Minelab does not have lowers available. Steve

    Great afternoon hunt with 900 silver

    Mark -- your thread title reads a bit more impressively than your actual hunt however...as it says you got "900 silver" on your afternoon hunt, though it was actually four... :LOL:

    Wow, NICE dig! I've never dug one, even being here in Oklahoma, where such a find might be expected... VERY nice! Steve

    Very nice/great condition CTX-3030 including all three coils, to trade for Explorer SE Pro or E-Trac, plus cash...

    Terry, Just replied to your PM; I'm interested, but want to hold out for a bit, if that's OK, to see if anyone has an SE Pro they'd like to trade (I'm MUCH more familiar with Explorers, than the E-Trac).\\ THANKS! Steve
