    Safari recovery speed?

    Hi Andy. I am curious as to how the recovery speed of the Safari compares to the Explorer, E-Trac series. Which of this series would be closest to the recovery speed of the Safari? Thanks. Mick Evans.

    A couple of 1350 questions.

    When using the short tone feature, are you still able to tell a small piece of can-slaw apart from a more fully rounded out tone of a coin? Also, if a coin passes under the outer edge of the coil, will the detector still see it as a small target, or is the profiling fooled in these situations...

    Digging scratchy signals.:thumbup:

    I managed to get out for a hunt with the Terra on a trip to Sydney last week-end. I tried to fit more in, but time constraints limited me to one 3 hour hunt. Previously, I'd mostly only gone after the stronger signals, but after recent successes, I decided it was time to dig the scratchy ones...

    GTI 2500 Imaging question.

    Am I correct in that the 2500 images on the fly? The reason that I ask is that a workmate own one and the couple of time I've been out with him it seems to play up. The first time it wouldn't give an audio signal. The second time out, it was giving a signal, but no imaging information while in...

    What is the Signagraph about?

    I've looked up the manual for the XLT and checked out White's home page about this feature, but can't find anything useful about it. It seems to be the same as the confidence meter on the MXT. Have I missed something? Mick Evans.

    Coin hunting in prospecting mode?

    Something that intrigues me of late, is the result of folks hunting with detectors that are audio only machines. On the Garrett forum, there are those who have better results with the Scorpion Gold stinger over their other Garret metered units, there are those who find the Musky, to be an...

    Checked out the new Minelab E-Trac and came home with an XLT.

    After reading so much about the new Minelab machine, I was able to check it out in person yesterday and found, that apart from a faster processor, it really didn't offer anything new to help with target discrimination than the older Explorers, but I did spy a second hand XLT sitting in the back...

    Had a request to look for some jewellery earlier this week.

    I was approached by a workmate who belongs to the local touch footy club about some lost jewellery, in particular, a men's wedding band. Unfortunately, he could narrow down the search parameters for me and even indicated, that he could have lost it on the field of play. There are 3 fields at...

    Had a request to look for a ring.

    I was approached by a workmate a few days back, to look for some jewellery. He said that a number of folks from the touch footy club had lost some jewellery on a certain oval, with a men's wedding ring in particular being identified to me as being lost. The part of the oval that he was talking...

    E-Track sizing pinpoint?

    I watched the video link about the timings and pinpointing, but couldn't quite grasp how it sizes a target. I went out with a friend last week who was armed with a sovereign. When pinpointing with that machine, he listened to how sharply the audio ramped up as well as width. Is this what is...

    XS Sovereign tones?

    I managed to catch up with my detecting buddy who owns an XS today. I was particularly interested at how it would hear coins after going over various bits of iron. Worked quite well. I noticed that it only gave the same tone on all targets,regardless of what they were made of. According to the...

    Can you see the meter cleanly, if it is mounted on the lower rod of the straight shaft?

    A question about the iron mask.

    With the GT, if you turned the iron mask off, would this stop the detector from nulling out on iron? Thanks. Mick Evans.

    Took a new Garrett hunting buddy out today.

    I found out a couple of weeks back, that one of the grey nomads at work was into detecting. Finally got to talk to him earlier this week to find out what he uses. He has the 2500. He bought it about 10 months back, but had only done a few hunts with it. It didn't take much to get him to come out...

    What sort of results are those folks with the F70, F5 getting out of pinpointing with the standard coil?

    What I am really asking, is, when you pinpoint a target, can you figure out what it is by listening to how the pinpoint fades? The reason I'm asking, is that this is a real stand out feature of the Garrett Ace and with these detectors armed with a elliptical concentric coil, I was wondering if...

    Took the Ace and the 1500 out today and tried a couple of things.

    Just about the only real feature that the Ace doesn't have, is a volume control. A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by another Findmall forum member with a really neat idea to overcome this short fall. He often reads this forum, but posts on one of the other forums. He doesn't wish to be...

    Had a blinder of a hunt today and set a new personal record.

    I'd organised permission a couple of weeks back to detect at my sons' former school and finally got to hunt there today. I only managed to fit in a 3.5 hour hunt, but wish I could have stayed longer. It was one of those hunts, where you just can't put a foot wrong. Armed with the X-Terra...

    Got a question for Oldrivers

    On your show, it showed a display in the Garrett museum of "The hand of faith" nugget. As I understand it, the original, is on display in a Casino in Las Vegas. Is what is shown in the museum a cast of it? Thanks. Mick Evans.

    Went for gold but settled for silver.

    I've been forced to take a couple of weeks off work due to a lack of livestock, so I've been able to get out on a few hunts mid week. I've walked down to the river bank at the end of my street which has some terracing on it from the early days of the town. I know that on the other side of the...

    Got a pinpointing question for 1350 users.

    How much feel do you get out of the 1350 when pinpointing. I'm referring to the pinpoint fade. It is fairly good on the Ace, but would you rate the 1350 about the same, or is it easier to tell targets apart with the fade, than you can with the Ace? Also, when detecting with it, from memory, you...
