    Double Score Questions

    Thanks DD214. I found some info right after posting. I feel stupid. I do think the 9 1/2 X 6 (SC24) will work on the D. Score but not sure. I still have my orig. DD214 dating back to 1969..

    Double Score Questions

    I have one coming this week from Richard at Backwoods so maybe some of you can answer these for me. Anyway, thanks for looking. 1- Does Nokta or other coil mfg. make a small coil that will work properly on the Double Score? 2- Can the Ultra coil be used on the D. Score if the score is set to 15...

    What detector does this NEL Hunter coil fit

    Good luck! If it has a serial no. then the mfg. should be able to tell you. I've had a few that had absolutely nothing on them.

    Tell us how long you been Metal Detecting

    Started with a Whites of some kind in Albany, Ga. It was June, 1974. Bought it from Mr. Cook at Cooks Appliance Repairs. He even took me out to an old baseball field to show me how to work it. I just turned 87 and am still detecting. Went out yesterday to an old demolished home site here o the...

    Can Garrett Detectors even COMPETE with the Latest & Greatest?????

    What's so sad to me is that the USA was the inventor and leader for years in recreational detecting. Are there any American companies left that can rival Minelab and Nokta? Seems like the same thing happened with automobiles although we are in the game bigger than with detectors, if that makes...

    Funny quotes or sayings from movies.

    Confetrit, sorry it took me so long to respond back. I went to Cherokee for a few days. Bad mistake (again). I live near Millen, Ga.,, actually on a farm, in Jenkins County. I used to know your area well, having lived in Lithonia. We would go through your area on the way to the farm. I lost my...

    First hunt with the Simplex Ultra

    Gatorfan, I really like my Ultra. It's a different machine comparing it to the orig. Simplex. I bought the Lite just for the small coil. My age makes me do strange things. I sold my D2 to my brother. It was simply too complicated for a 87 year old brain although I do miss the light weight and...

    Funny quotes or sayings from movies.

    Confetrit, what part of Georgia.? I met Clint Eastwood in a bar in Carmel, Ca. in 1966. He might have been mayor at that time. Actually, it was more of a grin and nod for both of us. Seems like he also had a bar named "The Hogsbreath Saloon" or something similiar. I was in a Navy school in...

    Early Kerosene Tractor Pocket Watch Fob

    Isn't our history great, even though it's relatively short compared to most nations? Seems no matter where we go, detectorists find our nations past and we all relate to it. I love it.

    Early Kerosene Tractor Pocket Watch Fob

    What great finds, particularly the tractor fob. My son-in-law is from Peoria. When he married my daughter and moved to Augusta, Ga. we introduced him to grits and boiled peanuts. He had never even heard of boiled peanut. Now, I have to keep him supplied with them in the fall. He even likes grits...

    Vanquish 540 question

    Thanks guys. Makes sense to me. Now I will have to worry about something else. This is what happens when you retire with a little extra time on your hands. Do we really have time on our hands? Now that I look at that sentence it doesn't make sense.

    Vanquish 540 question

    Not sure this is the right place so: Does the Vanquish 540 have a place to ground balance? I 've looked at the on-line manual and nothing is mentioned (that I can find) about G.B. Is it fixed, automatic, et.? Any help is appreciated.

    Metal Detector Rack

    Black Crow, I like the idea of using the spikes. I dug dozens of them in the fields and woods around here. Only kept a few. I wish I had kept them all. Gen. Shermans troops pulled the spikes and made the famous "bowties" of the rails. Never found any evidence of the rails. The R.R. probably had...
