    11" round v. 11"x13" coil?

    I bought a Deus with a 9" coil earlier this fall and have been having a blast learning it. Now, I'm starting to think about adding a larger coil for a little extra depth. Lots of people use the 11" X35 round coil, but I'm curious what the differences are between that and the 11"x13" X35. What...

    Headphone question

    I don't have insight on any phones compatible with the puck, but I've been using a WS5 pair for a couple months and love them.

    Nox v. Deus: Which should I buy?

    Thanks all, I think I've decided on the Deus this time. I've been watching a lot of videos from XP and others and learning a lot about all the adjustments and how they can help you out at a range of different sites. The all-wireless setup and the ergonomics also won me over.

    Nox v. Deus: Which should I buy?

    Thanks for the feedback, all. @bigtim1973 @Kickindirt What are your go-to coils on the Deus? And which headphones do you use?

    Nox v. Deus: Which should I buy?

    The ergonomics of the Deus, the all-wireless setup and the range of adjustments all appeal to me. The lack of a small coil is significant — I use the 5x8 coil on my AT Max all the time and love it for trashy parks. Getting a Nox and adding a 6" coil might make more sense, though the build...

    Nox v. Deus: Which should I buy?

    I'm looking at upgrading from the AT Max. I need a machine that does well in old parks, yards and other urban/suburban areas (I only get out to fields occasionally). So far, my research has focused on the Equinox (probably would go for the 800) and the Deus. Anyone here used both? If you could...

    Something all Detectorists should know prior to making a selection

    Cool! Where’d you find these? I’d love to get my hands on one for my area.

    Any ideas on this button?

    I found this button a couple months back in VA. It's about 19.5 mm in diameter, and the back is missing. Any ideas on what kind of uniform it might be from?

    Are these buckles?

    Found both of these in Virginia at the same site, which dates back to at least the early 1800s. The first looks like some sort of buckle, the second perhaps just some piece of decoration? I greatly appreciate any ideas!

    FS: Tesoro Black Vaquero

    For sale is this very lightly used Tesoro Black Vaquero with the standard 8 x 11 DD coil and coil cover. This machine is very clean, runs great and just got a tune-up/inspection at the factory. I wish I had more time to learn its complexities, but other machines have attracted my interest...

    Best silicone grease brand?

    I'm looking at getting some silicone grease to touch up the coil and headphone connections on my AT Pro before I take it in the water again. I've gone land hunting many times in the two years since I've had the detector, but it's only been submerged a few times, so I figure I better make sure...

    Clip sent along with upgraded AT Pro: What is it?

    I just got my upgraded Pro back from Garrett today. I got one of those J-shaped clips with a hole on the flat end along with my detector. Anyone know what the function of this clip is supposed to be?

    Problem with the Pro storing custom settings... :stretcher:

    I've had my Pro for about two weeks, and it's worked great during that time. However, yesterday I took it out for a hunt, and noticed that, when I turn it off, it no longer stores the custom settings I program into it. It seems to revert to factory settings every time it is powered on... and...

    Flying with the AT Pro

    Hi everyone. In two weeks, I'll be taking a trip to Northern California, and I'd like to take my new AT Pro along. I will be flying United, and was wondering if anyone here has flown with their detector recently. I'm mostly concerned about TSA rules, since I'd like to take mine in my carry-on...

    Flying with a metal detector

    Hi everyone. In two weeks, I'll be taking a trip to Northern California (domestic flight within the US), and was wondering if anyone here has flown with their detector recently. I'm mostly concerned about TSA rules, since I'd like to take mine in my carry-on luggage (don't want it getting...

    Garrett AT Pro vs. Fisher F70

    Okay, I know pitting two detectors against each other and asking for opinions on which is "better" is a haphazard thing to do, but here goes. I'm looking to upgrade from a bounty hunter unit (fun machine, but I'm ready for something more serious). I've narrowed my search down to these two...

    Vaquero for coins?

    Hi everyone, I've been looking around for a new detector lately. I need a machine that would be good for hunting older coins, yet able to function in newer parks for clad hunting on occasion. I'm particularly interested in the Vaquero because of the very positive reviews I've read of the...

    Bounty Hunter Headphones Issue

    I was out detecting today, using the same pair of bounty hunter headphones that I've used for about a year now. As I was getting up from recovering a target, I pulled on the headphone cord, and just like that, my headphones stopped working (I couldn't get a sound out of them, even with the...

    A word on iron signals...

    Ever since I started detecting, I would mostly use disc. mode to search schoolyards and parks. I knew that there were iron signals in these places, but I always figured they weren't worth digging. Then, a few months ago, I decided to start digging them, just to see what they were. While some...

    Bounty Hunter's new detectors

    I just stopped by the Bounty Hunter Website for the first time in a while, and noticed that they've added a whole bunch of new detectors. Some are actually new models, but I also noticed a lot of duplication. For example, one of the "new" models is the "Snooper 3". Correct me if I'm wrong...
