    Manticore 5x8 coil is HOT on low conductors

    15" or larger for the season's fresh drops. Use the smaller coil or a PI in the off seasons for the small, deep stuff.

    Gold...sell or hold ?????

    Some of us have asked the same thing when gold hit 800, then 1000, then 1200, 1500, 2000, now 2400 how about 3000? If you don't need the cash, I would hold onto it. When you do sell, never look back. The hobby has paid for itself, enjoy it.

    Who uses their wired headphones with the Equinox or Manticore detectors?

    Water detecting 95% of the time, I have to se wired headphones. I have the Gray Ghost for my 800 and Manticore. If I and junt for any length of time I change over to the wireless headphones. I love the freedom from the wire, but the wireless headphones loose connection when the control box is...

    Manticore Opinions?

    Your only options on coils are the standard (M11), M8 and M15. All depends on what you are searching for and the environment.

    I ordered the 15 inch Manticore coil today

    With only a couple of hours swinging the 15" coil on a Stork Leg shaft, I have to say I am going to love the combination. With the 15" coil it is all about the area covered in a single swing.especially underwater, the reduced drag of the slim shaft I have a winner. I don't have enough time...

    I ordered the 15 inch Manticore coil today

    Got mine mounted on a Stork Leg. Saturday and Sunday's low tides with good times and above freezing temperatures I"ll find out just how awesome the Beast is. Sand is coming in, not a good thing but there will be some areas that just might give up something good. Can hardly wait, Yesterday's snow...

    Goodbye PI.

    I can feel the pain, but each of my detectors with one of its coils will outperform all others in specific environments. No one detector is the ultimate machine for every environment. VLF, Multi-Freq, PI, land/soil/sand, water salt or fresh, metal and size of object in search of, weight of...

    ATX coils

    Electrically I understand they are compatible, but some very special haft mountings have to be home made, not an easy task.
  13. WaterWalker

    which has been your favorite garrett?

    For salt water the Garrett Infinium when hip mounted, Function wise the ATX would have taken first place, but its physical size and weight make the beast a chore to use.
  14. WaterWalker

    Attention all ATX owners past or present.

    Years ago my original coil wire failed. It was replaced when I called Garrett. The replacement came with the lower rod and has been fine since replacement. I keep the couplings washed out after each use, and ensure the shafts move freely. I use a portable power washer to clean off the detectors...

    Anyone ever encounter this problem??

    Electrolysis would be my next method. The Whydah Pirate Museum has a superb setup. A great tour if you ever make a trip to Cape Cod.

    OBN, What is the gold count this year??

    Now I know where all the older class rings have gone. Great presentation. Just wondering if you have kept a record of hours per year you have spent in the water achieving such a collection. At 76 I still strive to detect 400 per year. I am at 250 for this year so far, I better get going. We have...

    I did everything!

    Depending on what the "island" beaches are like, I would test the 900 against the PI and more than likely I would stay with the PI. Each environment you detect may change your mind. I detect beaches that I would only use a PI and other only a Multi-Freq water detector.

    11' Equinox Coil repair questions

    I have used PC7 (black) and PC11(white) epoxy with great success since 1992....tried and true. I have not used the gorilla product. A reinforcement of some kind is recommended and then one of the 3D printed supports. Make sure the added support does not prohibit the use of the 3D Brace.

    Leaking PF35

    My PF35 leaked the first time in the water. Maybe Flex Seal will "renew" mine, nothing to loose.
