    Foreign coins

    Never found Canadian silver in SE MI., however I have found a lot of Canadian in various denomination and sometimes find coins from Asia, middle east, and Mexico.

    Volume Control for Whites MXT

    Go to https://www.geotech1.com/forums/forum Type in "MXT" and "volume" in the search bar. I found a couple posts there by people who have added volume. Hopefully that helps.

    Deus handbook??

    On his website Sabischbooks.com, you will find a phone number at the bottom of the "About us" page. I'm sure he will be happy to tell you if he has anything in the works. IMO, you will glean more about the D2 reading posts and watching YT videos than you will get reading the D1 book.

    Deus handbook??

    I have it. It is more specific to the D1 but there are some common setting options that would cross over. It's been a couple years since I read it. I will go over it and revisit your question.

    Nokta Double Score 20 minute hunt 95 degrees

    Not sure about the Lincoln cent, but I got a couple over the years that were stamped in a similar way as a novelty. One was Lincoln smoking a cigar. I can't remember what the second was.

    Anyone tried this with their detectors

    Any more on what the shaft is made of? The latest fad is carbon fiber which is electrically conductive. In itself it probably wouldn't be an issue, but it's possible the carbon fiber conductivity may act as an extension of the upper metal shaft.

    Leaning heavily to a Deus 2.. and have a cool question..,

    I can't speak for the D2, but for the D1 I have both 9 and 11 inch coils. All settings being equal, on a quarter, I got over 2 inches more depth with the 11" coil. I can't see why it wouldn't be the same for the D2. However, I've only got the 11" coil on that detector so I can't compare...

    Rookies or people not caring

    I have a Tesoro I purchased some 30 years ago. Guess I should have checked the manual before making a blanket statement. Thanks to both of you for correcting me, it makes me happy I'm at least partially wrong on that point.

    Rookies or people not caring

    Skunks don't leave the discarded metal trash they dug next to the hole. However, some nocturnal animals will re-dig a detectorist's plug overnight. Not sure why, maybe they smell something or think another animal buried food. I know this because I've had it done to me.

    Rookies or people not caring

    I saw the same in a soccer park I frequent. Nothing infuriates me more than seeing the real potential of losing a site to detect. I've often wondered why detector mfg.'s never include instructions for proper target retrieval. After all, their industry relies on the availability of locations to...

    Who’s using their d2 flat out?

    This is just FYI. I can't speak to the Deus as I've never run my D1 or D2 on max sensitivity. I noticed on a couple older VLF detectors I owned in years past, that when I raised the sensitivity to max, they would pinpoint in a different location from a lower sensitivity setting. I'm sure the PP...

    Ring ID

    Thanks for that info Rick, it does have the look of a bubble gum machine prize from that era. I will Google using that info to see if I can find more.

    It seems to be something along those lines.

    Ring ID

    Looking for help identifying this ring, it looks old. I found it in a soccer park that used to be a farm as far back as the 1870's, so it could have been dropped in the past couple years or lying there for a century. It appears to be silver dipped, but the metal underneath also looks to be...

    Bullseye 140 mm pinpointer

    If you are going to tear your PP apart and replace the switch, you want a micro SMD (Surface Mount Device) switch. Available on the "auction sites". Price is around $2 for 10pcs. The photo is an example, the particular type you need depends on what you find when you open it up. You better have...

    Need some help identifying these two coils

    Sorry I didn't elaborate Mike; I was in a rush. A lot of tech guys there from all over the world with experience in vintage detectors. They might be able to ID by winding resistance and pinout. There should be someone there that can help you with those unmarked coils. Good luck with your search.

    Tesoro Silver Saber help

    This is from Geotech forum. You will note in the diagram that one of the RX wires is connected to the shield by a dotted line. This indicates that this connection is made inside the coil shell. Pins 3 and 5 should show low resistance based on the diagram so that is correct. Pin 2 shouldn't show...

    Depth modification of detector circuit boards.

    Think of a target as a bell. The soil as the atmosphere. The detector transmitter as the bell striker, and the receiver as your ear. No matter how hard you strike the bell, the sound is only going to travel so far depending on atmospheric conditions and size of the bell. The larger the bell...

    Worked out site gives Silver Bangle

    Conductivity wise, it's a complete ring so it would have been an object that had a large footprint for its relatively shallow depth. My guess is most people would have thought this was can slaw, Zinc mason lid, etc. and I'm guessing the TID was a little lower than what a silver half or dollar...
