    Infinium or TDI?What do you think?

    I plan to nugget detect in the Alabama gold belt and want a good affordable PI unit for the hot ground over there.The Whites TDI and Garret Infinium are both in my price range and seem to have interesting features.I would appreciate the members' opinions about them.

    Coinstrike vs the Fisher F series.

    The old Fisher company`s now discontinued Coinstrike detector had it`s problems and I doubt that F5,F70,or F75/75LTD users would prefer it over their new machines.However,the coinstrike had it`s strengths and I am wondering if any Coinstrike user who now has an F series detector could contribute...

    Question for Mike Hillis

    I read your post on another forum that you are not only going back to the Coinstrike but intend to sell off all the others.That is a very formidable array of detectors which includes the DFX,EX II,T2,X70 and the Cortes.Tell us Mike,what made you pick the Strike over all these worthies?What were...

    Lobo ST Question

    Even though the Lobo ST has no tone ID,I occasionaly see someone mention that it has good audio "language" for interpreting signals.Unfortunatly no one seems to get anymore specific about this.Can anyone with experience on this machine help?I bought one for my son for coinhunting with the idea...

    Say it ain`t so Monte!

    I saw over on the Depot a week or so back where you said that there are two old detectors you would trade your XL Pro for!:surprised:I can see the Tecnetics Mk I since I used the old silver and black original back in the 80`s myself-the very first analog TID machine!I don`t know about the "red...

    A few points for consideration

    Mike and Ralph have done a fine job as usual presenting the facts about an outstanding new machine.The T-2,in my opinion,is the most interesting of the new offerings that have been introduced.There are still areas to research to do,however,which need to be discussed courteously by those who...

    Toltec II question

    Has anyone experence using the Tesoro Toltec II in iron infested sites?The previous detectors in the series had ED-90 discrimination which can suffer from iron masking effects.None of these machines was noted for having much depth but their TID was often praised.Since the Toltec II`s...

    First question

    There have been a bunch of recent posts on early tests of the T-2 but one important area needs to be adressed.How does it handle iron masking of nearby targets compared to old standbys like the 1236 or the ED-120 Tesoros?Good discrimination is fine but we want it to pick out the good stuff next...

    Welcome to a great new forum

    I have been waiting for the T-2 to have its own forum!Any new Dave Johnson design is worth taking a long look at.Thank you for responding to the need.:thumbup::cheers:

    M6 coil on MXT

    I have seen a couple of posts that say that the coil on the new M6 is improved over that offered with the MXT.Has anyone tried switching it over to their MXT to see if it makes any difference?The stock MXT coil has never been well regarded;if an improved design is available it would give us a...

    Whites 6000 variations

    Whites seems to have introduced several models over a number of years under the "6000" label.The last was the 6000 XL Pro which was later renamed the XL Pro.Can someone explain the differences between these variants?

    Edge vs. Coinstrike

    Has anyone tested the Edge in severe mineralization and compared it with the Coinstrike?The CS`s best feature to my way of thinking was its ability to handle really bad ground.

    Compass detectors in iron

    In scattered posts about Compass detectors over the years users have remarked on these machines ability to overcome iron masking.Does anyone have experience with the different Compass models so as to compare them with each other in this regard?

    My advice on new detectors

    There is currently much excitement over several new detectors which are being released.In my opinion one should wait several months at least before buying.Not only is there the usual hype but we all tend to let our hopes run away with us.I am not putting down testers and reviewers but the...

    Some definitions needed

    When you fellows say "analog"do you mean detectors without microchips or just those with meter displays?

    Modify Whites coils for the Coinstrike?

    Like many Fisher Coinstrike users I would like a small coil but none has been introduced.I have noticed strong interference from whites 6.59 khz machines which indicates they have the same (or close to it)frequency.Surprisingly the coil plugs and recepticals are identical.Would it be practical...

    Lobo ST compared to Cibola and Vaquero

    Has anyone who has experience with the Lobo ST been able to compare it with either the Cibola or the Vaquero?I am curious about their relative abilities (for want of a better term)to "see through iron".My air tests on my LST give the same results as reported on this forum for the Cibola...

    Mr Bill here is another approach

    Monte in the "Compadre II"series pointed out that you could just try changing the discriminator on another Tesoro to the same as on the Compadre.I don`t know if this would be easier or not but it`s worth thinking about.
