    Sovereign AM/DISC

    G'day to all, Well I'm back into my second Sovereign (GT) and have been very happy with the performance. I'm 99% beach hunter so I'm always chasing the maximum depth. My question may have been covered before but for those of you who hunt in DISC, do you find that good targets which are beyond...

    Hello Eric (Question on Deepstar 3)

    G'day Eric, Just wanted to know if you still make the Deepstar 3? I noticed it wasn't listed on Mr.Bill's Surfscanner site. I'm guessing it's a made to order, or worse, it's discontinued. ? I did try your email address but it bounced at me :confused: I'm looking into the deepest seeking...

    M6 at the beach ???

    I really like the overall package of the M6 but a common (???) issue seems to be average performance at the beach....I'm assuming this is the wet sand and not the dry stuff. Could people be engaging the Beach mode when it's not necessary ? I would appreciate any views from M6 users. Thank you...

    Vaquero air test

    I know, I know...air tests mean nothing...right ? But I am gobsmacked at the air test of my Vaquero when tested against a mens 18kt wedding band....supertuned and max sensitivity is something to behold. Leaves my other "top" VLF's looking very ordinary. I will do some inground tests to see if...

    Advice on widescan coils

    I'm going to be hunting in quite mineralised ground...looking for old coins with the chance of some of them being fine gold. I was after some advice on which widescan coil would be best suited to my Vaquero...elliptical or round and then what size. Hopefully the areas I want to hunt in should...

    Forum/New message question

    Where are all the "NEW" messages when I login. Sometimes it will say "32 New Unread messages" but I might only find 6. I usually mark all messages read when I log out but I'm confused as to where all the new messages are. I use the "float to the top" option. :confused: Thanks, Tony.

    Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the Findmall site is really slow to load messages/posts, etc. Mine's been like this for a week or so. Al

    HELP....Tech question on "Black Sands"

    What component of "Black Sands" causes detectors problems? Is it just Magnetite that is the problem. I need to hunt an area that has black sand. I have sampled some of the material and under a very strong magnet NO particles are attracted to the magnet. What else do I need to consider if...

    Excal headphones

    What an amazing difference these make compared to the stock Excal headphones...the audio now has greater clarity and detail. I hooked them up today (very easy procedure) after Minelab fitted them out with the complete end cap assembly. I've got this sneaky feeling that the stock phones weren't...

    9v NIMH battery for Vaquero

    Does anyone know if a 9v rechargeable NiMH battery will fit inside the battery compartment of the Vaquero? I think I read an earlier post which suggested it was a tight fit. Thanks for any help, Tony in Aust:ausflag:

    Help trying to ID an old Garrett detector

    G'day to everyone, For some reason unknown to me I am on a mission to try to find out what model of Garrett detector I might have used way back around 1980-1982 when I was about 14 years of age. I was in Australia at the time and my parents bought for me a high end (at the time) Garrett...

    Excaliber Pinpoint/Disc question:ausflag:

    I finally did my own checks on the Pinpoint/DISC depth debate...this was after reading a lot of threads on the subject. Well to my surprise, I found that Pinpoint was about 20% deeper on all targets compared to DISC. For some reason, I thought DISC was deeper. Is there a chance that different...

    Some nice Excal gold

    The smaller ring is 9kt white gold. The bigger ring is 18kt and weighs in at a staggering 16gms (half an ounce)....this is the biggest/heaviest gold ring that I have found so far. The guy must have huge fingers...it is way too big even for my thumb...:yikes: Regards, Tony.

    Excalibur battery "on" time

    My new Excalibur battery gives me about 9 hours detecting time. It's only on it's second recharge so am I correct in assuming the "on" time will increase as the battery is "broken in" with more recharges. I charge the battery on an electrical timer for 15 hours max after hearing the first of...

    Excal...bead of water ??

    At the headphone end and behind the black plastic end cap, is it normal for there to be a bead of water that kind of follows the outside rim as you turn the body of the detector ? The photo sort of shows where the water is.....the amount is reducing as time goes by....does it drain through one...

    Excalibur mounting bracket

    Can someone please tell me how wide the actual detector body's mounting points are...this is the area where the upper shaft fits between. Can a 25mm upper shaft fit between the plastic mounts or is really rigid and only suits the 22mm upper shaft ?? Thanks for any help, Tony.
