    So, in the years ahead

    Unlike some hobbys you are not dealing with replaceable objects so you could argue that mding is dying. I know it has to be more about quality than quantity especially with coins. This is why it increasingly has to be about research or committing oneself to digging out small super trashy sites...

    Have had a heat wave and dry spell for 3 weeks now - dirt is so dry and hard should I wait?

    What you describe is a way of life in the deep South. Pretty much shut it down from mid June to mid Octobever. Not worth it to hear a good signal then can't get it out'. Good time of year to map out some new sites. Tip-- if you have to get out put 3030 on fast and turn sensitivity down to where...

    Back after 15 years

    One of my best friends has a Vanquish and has done really well with it. Easy to use, good depth etc but is not water proof. I have a Simplex and really hard to beat for the price. and waterproof. Is VLF but the kfz will handle most anything. Good for manuvering trash areas. There is also a new...

    Gb and nc after changes

    Thanks live in area where the old stuff really sinks deeply in most spots but most areas extremely neutral so have never been comfortable messing with gb unless i can really see I may need to. As soon as I get taxes and hospital paid off will probably trade in for new 3030 and sell old one to...

    Gb and nc after changes

    Read one 3030 guru who really believes in enabling GB for hunting the really deep stuff. Sounds like your saying its a function of coil size, open screen and manual(up to falsing point) and forget about gb adjustment unless circumstances really bad.

    Looking for a plain Jane coin detector for grand kid

    A friend of mine has a Vanquish and I have a Simplex Both are really good starters even for adults. Both run around $250 but most dealer will discount. If you can find a fisher Cz which is an analog its a good coin hunter. Better on nickels than some of these high priced dudes. Best

    Is Metal Detecting on the Decline?

    I know there are more md's being sold than ever before because I talk to them but I also seldom see other folk out there doing it. I've talked to people who buy a cheap machine on impulse and never take it from the box I blame reality shows and deep discounters on a lot of it. Dan Dankowski says...

    Do you lose sensitivity if you reject a lot of stuff in a pattern?

    Mike is exactly right. Sensitivity is more of a function of how 'hot 'your running e.g manual-auto3-auto2 decending order. But using real tight patterns increases your chances of junk pulling a good find into the blocked area. This is why I prefer to use a more open screen and use tone breaks...

    Great video on coil size and separation!

    6” and 11 “ coils compared excellent video! problem. turn the coil 90 degrees and coin masked regardless of separation and coil because nails horizontal to coin now. Typical for real trashy areas why small coil still does better overall in these areas and why you should hunt from different angles.

    Super modified CTX?

    I'M a phamacist and I Hope the side effects do not start and the CTX will start getting heavy again:D

    Whats the "best" detector if I'm looking for silver coins?

    Not a big fan of cherry picking silver unless the really old stuff rather do gold, nickel or copper but having said that folks who have done this a long time know the etrac and 3030 are still best for identifying at depth. Have a buddy who easily Ided silver dollar at 18 inches. Keep in mind...

    xp Deus 2 vs ctx3030

    I wish I could buy you and Nauti a beer. Last night i watched a long review of the Deus 2. At the end the reviewer noted the good features it possesses but stated that if you enjoy the machine you have now you might not want to change because some new owners may find it too complicated for...

    xp Deus 2 vs ctx3030

    First the CTX and the whole XP lines are both great machines but they are two very different animals which IMO compliment each other better than any others. ALL of the XP lines are better than the CTX in iron and lighter and faster, but no machine id's better deeper than the CTX(well the etrac...

    Hindrance and help

    Your 2nd point is really well taken. A few guys have the courage to put their remote in their pocket and just dig good tones. Sometimes pays off.

    First gold with Legend

    Good going. Find a tiny gold chain and let us know. That's where even some of the best machines struggle.(make sure it the chain only no cross or anything).

    Am i going to regret buying the Deus 2

    I love my 3030 and most folks complain of its weight but I have haven't found it a big deal. What you will love more with XP is the speed.

    Hindrance and help

    Hindrance: not sticking to a battleplan based on what I'm wanting to find. I'm fortunate to live in an area where you can hunt coin, jewelry, and relics in short distances but they all take a different mindset. e.g. I may not want to dig jewelry in 90 degree heat where i have to dig everything...

    Gold and silver using the sp28 coil. Simplex power!!!!!

    Great video HR. Most of the finds looks really deep. How is the ID with the 13"? The Simplex integrates DISC and notch and we are too trashy in the states so you can't combine them too much w/o losing depth. Thanks again.
