    Reg Sniff passed away July 25th

    Just to let everyone know that Reg died. The master of TDI detectors. A brilliant guy. I met him a few times and talked on the phone with him once in a while. I know some of you have too. Usually that meant a two hour phone call talking about detectors and life in general. I understand...

    New Tek/Fisher 4 inch concentric coil

    A new coil was released (I think in Feb) that fits Tek Frat Bros series, Eurotek Pro and Fisher F5, F11, F22, F44. FTP is running an introductory price of $49.99 (MSRP $89.99). I just got mine but haven't had it out. This should be fun in the junk.

    Question on the spectragraph in practical use

    Thanks. In the time I had my V3I I never saw that happen with a high VDI and a red or blue bar dominant.. Like I said it's been several years. Seeing the typical YT stuff just reinforced my experiences and had me wondering about it.

    Question on the spectragraph in practical use

    First I do not own a V3i or VX3. I had a V3i several years ago when they were relatively new. Tonight I was poking around to see what might be new. Then I got into watching several videos on them to get a little familiar again. Now I'm wondering what practical purpose the frequency bars...

    Impact display size?

    Looking at some videos it seems like the display is larger than the Racer. My Racer display is around 3.25wide x 2high inches and the ID numbers are about 1.5wide x 1high inches. How big is the Impact display? Hey I'm getting old...

    Has anyone had success with the Racer wireless?

    I picked up a BT module and headset since I would love to go wireless. In my opinion the audio is terrible. It sounds like the audio is coming through a long pipe. I also paired a Logitech H800 headset to it but it sounded almost as bad. Did I just get a bad module?

    Makro forum suggestion

    Maybe a sticky with the manufacturer comments on adjusting the gain to 39 or 69 to control overload might be a good thing. Also how about a Racer Classroom forum? It could include "turn it on and hunt-the end". :thumbup:

    Lower rods the same for Racer and CoRe?

    Does anyone have both and can compare to see if the lower rods are the same for Racer and CoRe?

    Idea for MD storage

    I've been thinking about doing this for a while. I tried to find a decent used garment rack but I finally gave up and paid for a new rack today at a bath and bed store. The rack was about $90 and the other cord and several carabiners were another $10 at the hardware store. There are a variety...

    Bottle caps and tabs-any results with Racer or CoRe?

    Has anyone noticed how these machines handle the bottle caps and can tabs? Any differences in the standard or small coils? I know with some machines you can walk the coil off the target and get a iron grunt on the coil edge on caps. Tabs would usually jump around on the ID.

    GB Pro mods?

    I thought I read where someone was doing some mods to these. I think a guy in California. Does anyone have contact information? Better yet, does anyone have experience with a modified GBP and whether it is worth it?

    Mexico peso coins don't air test?

    I'm new to the Deus. I've tried the factory programs, reduced disc to 0 and bumped up iron volume but I can't seem to be able to air test a current $1 or $5 peso coin. I maybe get a little broken chirp here and there. They read about a 22 on my MXT Pro. I think they are made out of aluminum...

    Looking for books on western forts

    The books are Tour Guide to Old Western Forts by Hart and Encyclopedia of Historic Forts by Roberts. Before I spend $50 bucks or more on these books, I would like to know if anyone has either of these and can tell me how good they are. IE do they more than sketchy information that is typically...

    Picked up a few older detectors and have a few general questions

    I bought a 3 machine package from a great guy that wasn't interested in hanging on to the machines. He was more into panning and high banking and detectors just never really got his attention. -First is an original Gold Bug (white lower rod) with 5x10 white elliptical coil in essentially new...

    Etrac car chargers

    Does anyone know what is special about the Minelab Etrac car chargers? Have you used a regular generic 12v car charger (with proper plug) on your Etrac battery?

    FTP product suggestions

    I know several months ago a thread was started along these lines. I got to thinking about this stuff after reading posts about the G2 and the GB Pro with the different handle configurations. While this idea could be looked at by any manufacturer, it seems like the FTP lineup is best suited...

    Re: anti-glare screen,

    I think it was grouser that started a thread a few weeks ago about finding a certain popular protective and anti-glare screen for his etrac. I went to the big auction site and bought a 7 inch piece of Invisible Shield for $3 delivered. I used the factory console protective sheet as a guide and...

    Metal hardware on Omega coil mount?

    I disassembled my Omega for a trip and noticed the knob on the stock coil mounting bolt had a metal nut insert. My other Tek coils are all plastic. Any opinion or information on whether having metal that near the coil is a problem?

    New GB Pro 5x10 coil - first impressions

    Why in the world do these have a 6 1/2 foot cable? It's about 40 inches longer than the 5 or 11 inch coil cables. It seems like a waste of good cable. Plus I seem to experience more EMI with this coil than the 5 or 11 inch coils and that makes me wonder if it is related to having a longer...

    Change connector on Tek 11 DD coil to new style?

    I have a new 11 biaxial coil for the original greek series with the push type connector. It came with one of my detectors I bought over the winter but kind of had things in boxes until the weather broke and that's when I figured out it was the wrong one. FTP won't exchange it so I've been...
