    Recommended Rock Tumbler for cleaning coins found on the beach

    Hi GeorgeinSC ! :biggrin: Thanks for passing along the idea of using Poultry Grit as a coin cleaning media. ;) Question: Is the grit you use made from crushed granite or quartzite rock ? Internet ad says quartzite has sharper edges to aid digestion better, so it should clean coins better...

    Correct Sequence for setting Threshold and Ground Balance on the Tesoro Bandido ll µMax.

    Hi vwpittman ! The "6 simple steps" listed on page 8 of my manual under the sub-title TUNING YOUR DETECTOR confirms what I had thought and thanks for bringing that to my attention again ! ;) Furthermore, I interpret that those 6 steps exemplify the proper sequence Tesoro intended for...

    Carl-NC: Do VLF signals vary in depth according to target size and mass ?

    Hi MarkCZ :) Thanks for your reply, however, I guess you interpreted the title of my thread-starter post to be the original question which indicated "ferrous" targets, i.e. "Generally speaking, does a VLF metal detector signal vary in depth according to the size and mass of a target, ferrous...
