    Flashback...My Sovereign XS came with this VHS tape, and note.

    I would check on the battery pack as I think they are the ones that uses the 3 of the 3.7 volts as they are thicker and only put out the 11.1 volts and back a while we were told they have to have the 12 volts as the rechargeable paks had in them. If you have and like the alkaline pack that use...

    I think metal detecting is becoming a dying hobby ....

    Now someone that makes sense as metal detecting is still great, but you have to do some research to those old area where people used to go to to lose their coins and rings. Some we find by accident while some we look up old maps that shows where some old park were that are not there anymore, we...

    Flashback...My Sovereign XS came with this VHS tape, and note.

    The 8 inch coinmaster was one of the coils I recommended to those that were learning the detector, the tones seem to stay longer so you could hear the targets better. The XS a very nice detectors and one . The next model was the XS 2 which had the drop in battery packs the the coils were...

    Lady Shadow Prototype?

    If I can remember correctly they made the X2 then made the X2 Lady which it was built by Tesoro for Troy , I think beside the name it was a slight different freq so so they could be run together without crosstalk. I dont think they sold that great, so it may be not many made. If someone...

    Air Test Expections?

    If you are in the basement of a house when you do the air test, take and switch to all metal and then check it out again as the ground can be trash or iron you can not see, this will make difference and limit you depth. Also if you have any thing like light on it can also affect the air test...

    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...

    Need inputs, detectors not turning on.

    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...
