    Volume Control for Whites MXT

    A 10k potentiometer in one of the speaker wires should work. A logarithmic taper would be better than a linear one in this instance.

    Interesting Frequencies discovered on the Deus 2

    It was also interesting to see the default smf numbers for the different programs and how far they are spread apart. It really wasn't much of a surprise when set for 14 high, the transmit frequencies were the same across the board.

    Twin sisters

    Mercury was a he unless he identified as a sister. lol https://www.britannica.com/topic/Mercury-Roman-god But that takes away nothing from these great finds. Congratulations!

    Here’s the scoop:

    You can remove black by placing the item on aluminum foil in a pan with boiling water and dumping some baking soda on the item. I did that with a St. Christopher's silver cross. It took about an hour but it did remove the black quite well.

    Anyone still using the racer or racer 2?

    I still occasionally use mine. The concentric coil for it still does things my newer and more expensive one can't. I do wish every one of my detectors had the pinpoint toggle like it does.

    Charging problem with new hf elliptical coil

    You might try unpairing and then repairing it. That helped on my pinpointer. If it doesn't help, it only costs time.

    shout out and question

    While examining the Equinox 600/800 manual, I found out that clicking on any part of the table of contents section takes me to that page. For instance, click on target tone and it takes you immediately to page 42. This is very handy and sure saves time scrolling to find the information. I wish...

    Thank you very much, fwcrawford, I do appreciate it.

    Is there any way to tell on the Equinox 800 what version it is?

    Minimal notch ?

    If the signals annoy you, it only makes sense to notch them out. Personally, they don't bother me. If I don't like what I hear, I don't dig it.

    Anyone tried this with their detectors

    Okay, maybe I have the original carbon fiber one and also the plastic one. Also, my original mid shaft was aluminum, I just went out and checked. I know it will pick up small gold but that is not the question. The question is does the carbon fiber one reduce sensitivity to small gold...

    Anyone tried this with their detectors

    I have a Legend and 6 inch coil and I have both the original plastic shaft and the new carbon fiber one. I also have a small nugget (don't know the weight but most of my detectors do not see it) and some dust. I also have some #9 lead shot. When I get time, I will see what results I get with...

    Is this Blue Lace Agate or something else?

    Maybe Geologyhound can shed some light on the subject. That is one beautiful rock! Nice photography too!

    Possible CW bullet?

    You are most welcome.

    messing around in beast mode

    While I was out detecting, I took a broken iron circle maybe ¾" diameter and ⅛" thick. I poked it down into the sand, which is very mineralized, a couple of inches and engaged beast mode. Iron rejection was at default 0. I got the same signal I got on a dime. When I turned the IR to 2, the...

    Teknetics T2 SE is it really as good as they say.

    There are Nel and Detech coils listed on big auction site. I have a Nel Tornado for mine which is usually somewhat deeper than the stock one unless the ground is too mineralized. Some people had trouble ground balancing with large coils. I have had places where the Tornado didn't want to...

    Teknetics T2 SE is it really as good as they say.

    Keith Southern, one of the best relic hunters, says it is one of his favorite detectors which, in my opinion, says a lot. I have an old non updated one, very "sparky", that I have used for a quite a few years and found me more coins than any of my other ones. There is a forum thread about...

    Possible CW bullet?

    Both are much smaller than .60 caliber. The 38 caliber was .36" and the 44 was about .45". Closest I can find in Civil War Bullet and Cartridges is .58 caliber RM, diameter .568, length .86, weight 416 grains. It is called the "one-ring insert" or "Tyler, Texas Enfield, cast in the South.

    Depth modification of detector circuit boards.

    More power to the coil doesn't necessarily make it deeper. I can increase the transmit power to my Deus coil but in my high mineralization areas, it is counterproductive. Here is some information from Dave Johnson, engineer of many great detectors...
