    Seated/Token/Bullets

    Hi folks, I've been fortunate enough to do some hunting at an 1884 Victorian over in Oakland. This home in in the California registry of historic places and is currently a museum of local history and has never been detected before. I've been fortunate to be able to hunt the grounds and get...

    Musket Shots?

    Hi all, hope everyone had a good weekend of digging;) It's been raining cats and dogs out here in "sunny" California lately but that didn'tstop me from getting out. I returned to a mid 1800's era home/museum to continue an ongoing dig and a couple what I believe to be musket shots were...

    Class Ring

    Made a trip out with the CTX and unearthed this nice class ring ring dated 1967 from the "Institute of Technology" in Cebu, Phillippines. I found it at a local school where I attended 2nd grade back in the early 80's. There is a persons name engraved inside and I'm trying to locate the owner who...

    Tesoro Advice

    Hi all, Recently I've really become interested in Tesoro brand specifically the Tejon. I've been primarily a Minelab user with the CTX being my current machine. I've really come to realize that all the bells and whistles of this machine just aren't benefiting me in any way shape or form. I've...

    CTX arrived!

    Well the new CTX arrived today from Indian Nations and she's all built and charging up! I'm a pretty technical guy and I understand everything that's going on with the machine however if there are any tips with the machine whether it be on the soil or in the setup that could spare me any undue...

    Optimal Land Settings

    Hi Folks, I've been using the Sovereign line of detectors since the Elite series and am currently swinging a GT. I've made a lot of great finds with and truly believe it's one of if not the best detector out there. Definitely underrated by some. I tend to hunt in DISC with that being turned...

    Etrac and Safari

    Hi all, Quick question here - I had an Etrac awhile back but sold it (was buying a new car). I'm ready to jump back in the game and the Safari has really caught my eye. I'm not concerned with the performance between the 2 detectors as they clearly are running the same FBS technology. I know...

    Sovereign to Safari. Anyone?

    Hi all, I've been using the Sovereign series for several years now and it's treated me pretty darn good. I was wondering how the performance compares to the Safari. I'm not necessarily looking to switch but I may pick up a 2nd machine and wanted to know how it stacked up to my GT. Thanks, Joseph

    Best Headphones?

    Hi all, So like many of us here I am a huge Sovereign fan. I started with the Elite and am now working with a GT. I've been researching headsets to use mainly for turf hunting. I've seen a small handful of good brands such as the Killer Bees, Grey Ghosts etc. Which brand do you guys use for...

    GT to Safari?

    Well I'm a dedicated Sovereign GT user but can't help having my interest peaked by the new Safari. I was never into the Quattro's and the safari looks like an upgraded Quattro to me. Or is it a beast all in itself? Minelab's are notorious for being slow machines but I am intrigued with the...

    Headphones

    Well I know I'm probably late to the party on this one but I tried a really good pair of headphones with my Sovereign over the weekend and WOW what a difference! I believe they were the Gray Ghosts. I was just curious what everyone's favorite headphones are. I'm in the market for a good high...

    All metal or Disc?

    For coin and jewelry hunting I'm a bit curious as to which may be the better of 2 modes to use. I typically hunt in disc but turn the knobs all the way down and dig everything, that's just the type of hunter I am. Does the All Metal mode go deeper than the disc mode even though I am not running...

    Reference Sites

    Do you guys know of any good sites with tips on using the Sovereign? I took mine out for the first time today and did well even though I didn't find anything of any real historic value. If you guys know of any sites that may help with the learning curve then I would appreciate it. Thanks.

    Whites TDI Field Test

    Hey guys, A good friend of mine was able to get his hands on a TDI demo unit last week so we took it for a spin as a coin/relic machine. Now let me make one thing perfectly clear to avoid any confusion. The TDI being a pulse machine cannot be directly compared to a standard VLF such as the...

    GT Meter Question

    Would you guys consider the Minelab180 meter or the Sunray meter to be more reliable and accurate? I'm picking up a GT soon that has the Minelab 180 but I was considering getting the Sunray one if it's worth it. Thanks guys. Joseph

    Battery usage

    Hey guys, I am looking to buy a GT soon, I used an Elite before. What kind of life can I expect on the included rechargeable battery? 6hrs? 9hrs etc. I'll be doing mostly land based hunting but want to get an idea of the battery life so I can make a decision on purchasing a spare just in case...

    GT Coil

    What do you guys consider the best all around aftermarket coil for the GT? I am thinking the WOT seems to do pretty well, your opinions?
