    AT Max performance with concentric coil/s

    Seems that most owners use the DD coils and not much feedback on the concentric coils. DD coils are being pushed on most brands currently and perhaps this is the major mindset. I was wondering if the Garrett Concentric VS DD coils is like the concept Tesoro described. Concentric coils...

    Plastic enclosure for a metal detector project

    I'd like to put a wilson r & c series circuit board into a plastic enclosure. It's too big to fit into a Gold Mountain King Cobra shell. Does anyone know of a vendor or supplier that sells plastic housings for electronics projects that offer a 6" X 4.75" X 3.25"?

    CZ-5 Discriminate pot malfunction

    I bought a used Fisher CZ-5 and noticed that the discrimination knob...no matter where i set it...still detects all the metals it's supposed to disc out and the 'auto tune' setting isn't functioning like it should. I figure it's a trip to Keith Wills or Felix. Has this ever happened to yours...

    Don't use this glue on your metal detector plastic parts

    I recently tried Super Glue Gel and got the following results. The areas that were applied turned white and some melting of plastic. Better to use regular Super Glue or similar brands that are safe to use with plastics.

    Just got a bud lite

    I always wanted one. Supposed to be a stripped down Big Bud Pro,but still has notch. I like the fact that screw caps can be discriminated out at a lower setting than some of the other bud series. Anyone own/used one?

    Any idea what Bounty Hunter this coil belonged to?

    I'm pretty sure if came off a 'BUD 1'. Most other Buds had the heavier 8" coil modeled from the older PNI Bounty Hunters.

    Newer coils for older Tesoros

    It's good to have a Tesoro again. I just purchased a Golden Sabre Plus with the open center 8" concentric coil. Have any of you used the newer generation of coils made in the last few years on these older Tesoros? I wonder if these newer coils can enhance the performance of the older models?
