    Need inputs, detectors not turning on.

    OK once they are in the packs take a voltage measurement to see each pack has the 6 volts needed. Check each pack separate at where the wire connect on the terminal on the pack. If this is good on them both then look if the the connectors are bad or broken wire as I have seen that before as it...

    I got some battery holders from Amazon when I needed some, first set I wasnt thinking and they had 3 batteries on each side, so I had to reorder the right one. Garretts battery holder were the same one I used on my Sovereigns and I think other detector use them too. That is the first thing is...

    Shadow X5

    It might be a tough one as we dont know what all happened if it was turned on after the soldering was done. Many times if the solder connected to another circuit it could have shorted out and you probably would ave seen some spark fly or something getting hot. Now if nothing happened when you...

    Watch found today. Gold

    That sounds about right as it is gold plated, my brother had one just like it back in the early 60 and I took it to a pawn shop to see what it was worth as it worked and everything , told me I could get $20 for it, but didn't sell. I have found many and some old pocket watches I thought might be...

    Watch found today. Gold

    I think it is color gold like many watches are, but if it was real gold I would think it would be looking like new and mark the K if it is. That what all that I have found is. I don't think Bulova made any gold cases, but dont know everything and the best way is take it to jewelry store as...

    Serious Detecting Adam

    always been good for me too, it does take a while to ship somethings such as a detector and cost more and it can take a week to 10 days. most ads I see say plus shipping. From personal experience I am like others and time go slow when waiting for a new detector. and 2 days seem like a week...

    The question of astro turf.

    Myself I wouldn't consider it as what was there before is covered up and probably deeper than it was before, plus I dont think you could dig though the turf. Now if it was a lost ring lost after the turf then it should be right on top of the ground so no digging and no digging tools in your...

    Help! Tesoro tejon threshold issue

    I dont know if my help will do any good or not, but to me it sounds like a bad connection which more than likely a bad solder connection. I used to see this a lot on my TV repair I used to do. I have had a couple of Bounty hunter come in and that was the problem and easy to repair on them...

    (Want to sell) Sovereign GT + Sovereign XS

    wonder if this is one of my Sovereign I had and sold as I had it sold, but was missing the coil, so I put my 8 inch coinsearch coil that I had shorten the cable, thought maybe mounting the coil would help and it did. Easy to mount and dismount on a extra shaft, plus it made it more sensitive and...

    While they last Sovereign GTs $859.00 each

    Unless they just come out with a new GT which some of us want, they haven't made a GT for several years. I myself would love to see a new Sovereign that is balanced better and lighter weight . This is one of the best detector ever made and very easy to use, you don't have all the adjustment...
