    Gold coins found in Kentucky

    We've all heard/read the stories over the years of the US and state governments seizing finds like this with only a pat on the back and a humiliating blurb in the news as compensation. By now, if people don't know how to keep mouth shut, they deserve to lose the discovery.

    Eagle button

    I hate to be a downer, but uniform buttons have a brass back. That one looks to have been iron that rusted away which would make it a civilian button. Nice find, still old and quite possibly an era piece.

    Disc at 6.8 on some programs…why so specific? Why not 7?

    This is a wild guess and not based on experience, but I know of users who have reported in the past that they don't like using disc above 5 because it reduces sensitivity to deeper targets across the spectrum. My guess is a disc above 6.8 might be the point where the D2 performance rapidly drops...

    Coil charging clip

    Yes, but I have no idea when they redesigned it. It could have been the latter years of the D1 after complaints to XP of the charge clip breaking. The new design appears to prevent the user from opening the jaw too much which causes work hardening of the plastic hinges. Sorry about the poor...

    Coil charging clip

    I did the same thing to my charging clip when the tensioner broke. However, one arm or the other will eventually break near the body. If you don't already have a backup clip, it would be wise to grab one.

    Cost to replace coil battery on a 2018 Deus 9" coil

    I replaced them myself. I think the batteries were around $15 each at the time.

    Cost to replace coil battery on a 2018 Deus 9" coil

    I believe I purchased my Deus in 2014. My batteries lasted to 2020. They still worked well enough for a short 2-4hr hunt, but the battery was at 1 bar by the time I was done. Normally the battery's would show 3 bars after 2-3 hr. hunt. I decided to change them fall of 2020. Now I own the Deus 2...

    Coil charging clip

    The coil cover is what aligns the charging clip. While you don't need it to align the clip, not using the cover would make the task more difficult than necessary. In addition, sliding the clip to align the pins can cause them to bend or break. Having sand in the coil cover will not reduce the...

    Coil charging clip

    Now they probably are the same, but the original D1 clips weren't as stiff and didn't solidly lock in over the coil like the clip for my D2. There used to be a lot of complaints about the coil clip not making contact. I believe 2018 is when I bought my 11" coil for the D1. At that time they had...

    Is this something new?

    It's actually been out for some time (around 8-10 years) but I don't think it got much traction.

    Coil charging clip

    Agreed, a little stiff but works like a charm compared to the D1 original clip which had to be wiggled around until you got the charge pins to make contact.

    Curios signal what gives?

    I can't say what the TID was but "clinkers" will give you a nice soft signal in certain programs at that TID range. They are burnt coal residue and often found at old homestead sites. They are often fairly lightweight, look like a stone, and blend in nicely with the dirt. I can't remember if a...

    Adjusting audio

    You have to save it as a new program if you didn't already know.

    wish i had not tried to change the battery in my x 35 coil

    Agreed. If I was to guess, XP probably has a small CNC machine and fixture designed specifically for cutting out the cover so they can replace the battery and install a new cover the same as the old. If in fact there is an epoxy on the plug as kaolinwasher described, they probably unsolder the...

    wish i had not tried to change the battery in my x 35 coil

    That is not good advice, I tried and it's all but impossible. It causes way more damage to try to cut at the glue joint than to cut the indentation. If you cut along the glue joint, the plastic is so thin at that point that your razor knife will swell the side of the coil housing and quite...

    Core material

    Unless something changed recently, US dimes, quarters, halves, and dollar coins after 1965 are still clad coins (Copper core with copper/nickel alloy bonded to the surface). The red on the clad is from the nickel alloy. Many nickels buried for a while will also have the red patina.

    Still learning

    Apologies, I reread your initial post and I missed the part where you did air-tests. Hence, why I couldn't figure why you were asking about numbers. To give you an example of how conditions affect TID, in Michigan it's possible to find natural copper nuggets (float copper) left behind by the...

    Still learning

    Not to be a smart ass, but can I ask you why you didn't just drop a nickel on the ground and see for yourself what the TID would be? You must remember, depth, orientation, soil mineralization, and adjacent targets can all affect TID by a few points, so make sure your tone breaks are set with...

    wish i had not tried to change the battery in my x 35 coil

    That's really interesting, my 9" coil was an early one (If I remember correctly a 2014 purchase) and it didn't have any adhesive of any kind holding the battery. The battery in my coil was only sandwiched in foam (still is, I didn't add adhesive when I re-assembled it), easy peasy. The...

    wish i had not tried to change the battery in my x 35 coil

    I changed the battery in my D1 coil. There was no glue of any kind in the coil battery compartment. That glue would concern me about doing my MF coil on the D2 in the future. That said, there may be a solvent you could use that would soften the glue without damaging the plug/circuit board...
