    Questions about my new Nokta Fors Relic

    My Nokta Relic came with a Owners Manual written in.....Turkish....I assume. So I downloaded the English version. I have been a faithful Deus user for the last year (well, actually, this is my fifth Deus, but I have kept this one for a year......a new record for me..lol) I only share this...

    Question about my Minelab GPX 4500

    Today, I noticed that I could not keep an even threshold, even after noise cancel and ground balancing. There was no metal in the ground at this spot. I would hold the coil up in the air and the threshold would smooth out perfectly. But when I lowered the coil to the ground, it would start...

    Aftermarket coils for the F75SE2

    I recently purchsed a used F75SE2 (12-14-14). I have been running a 13" Ultimate Coil on it. It is a bit heavier than I'd like. I like the factory 11 inch Biaxial DD coil but I would like to hear from those who have used the SEF coils (the one that is a bit larger than the 11 inch factory...

    A Friday morning Racer relic hunt (3/27/15)

    I enjoy adult air rifles.

    I belong to a Field Target club in Pulaski TN and it's just a bunch of us guys (from 30 yrs old to 85). Some of the airguns these guys have are $3000 jobs!!!! Very accurate with Lothar Walther match grade barrels. I shot my personal best at the last Field Target match......a 47/60. I am using a...

    Yesterday, (3/22/15) I took the Racer to one of my Civil War relic sites. Only got to hunt a couple of hours. This place has been worked over by other detectorist over the years. But still, I managed a few finds. One pice of bad news......my first find was a Eagle cuff button in perfect shape...

    Can I use the F19 DD coil on the new F75SE ver2

    I was wondering if I could use the 5x10 dd coil that came stock on my F-19 on a new F75SE (ver 2) if/when I buy a new F75. Does anyone think that it would so internal damage to the F75 if I even tried? And if this idea is NOT wise......do they actually make a 5x10 DD coil specifically for...

    About to buy another Deus. I have never owned the WS-5 headphones

    Do any of you Deus Users use the WS-5 headphones and really like them??? Are they nice and clear like the Killer Bees? I only ever used the WS-4 Backphones. Is there a clear improvement over the backphones (except sweaty ears and the fact that the WS-5's block out all other sounds). If the the...

    This iron item was ten inches deep and under a tangle of roots. Need help.

    This makes about 6 or 7 of these that I have found. I first thought that they might be a door knocker. Or maybe a trunk handle. Am I getting close? http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k236/kevinb_010/100_0448_zpsa26ea2ba.jpg...

    XP Deus 3.2 finds gold and 1909 penny!!!

    I didn't have but about a half hour to go over a site that I have scanned in the past with the Deus's that I owned and sold. I recently acquired a used Deus 3.2. I was using the Deus Fast program. Sensitivity at 97. Disc at 3.5 or 3.8 (can't recall). Two Tones. 18 khz. Ground Balance at...

    First outing with new (used) XP Deus 3.2

    Had about one hour of good light left this evening and have been itching to get my XP Deus 3.2 out and try it on the little yard that I have been hunting and finding a few 1860 Colt Revolver (mason) 44 cal bullets in. I have pounded this yard with several real good units. And the ones I used are...

    The strange relic that i found, I heated it and bent it straight:

    I don't make a habit out of cluttering up the forum with several post about the same topic, but please allow me some latitude on this one. I heated it and bent it straight. It appears to be copper....maybe brass. It might shed more light since I took some better pics. I studied this piece...

    Hey Deus-ites!! Check out this ornament!!! Also, some other finds.

    What do you make of this: The find above (also found the 69 cal ball in another section of the yard) has been a CHALLENGE to identify. That motif!!! Of an infants face. I have seen that before....somewhere. I would appreciate any leads so that I can keep researching it. I don't even know what...

    I found some weird items yesterday with my Deus (9" coil)

    I have a site in town where the nails and other iron is SO thick that if you move the coil a half inch...you get grunting....and more than ONE grunt. But anyway, I had time for about a one hour hunt yesterday. I got to the site. Put the Deus in 'Deus Fast', raised the sens to 97, lowered the...

    Looking for DIY headphone info.

    One my grandest hobbies is metal detecting. There is just something FULLY fascinating about "Reckon what's under the coil this time?!!" I also love a good project. A good old, "roll your sleeves up, do a google search, and tear into it" kind of project. I have some headphones (they are the 22...

    There is no getting around the fact that my silver count has increased!

    Went out to the local, OLD fairgrounds area and found a Mercury dime with the Etrac. Yesterday, from the same location, a silver '43 washington quarter. Two merc's in the front yard of an old home a few days ago. I have not had this unit long, and it is finding silver when I thought my...

    I am considering a 13 inch coil

    I can use the larger area to work out some yards quicker. I am real surprised that coil that is 5 inches bigger would not at least give three extra inches of depth!! Three inches of depth is alot!!!! It would put me down lower than 90% of the stuff that I find. But that is all I hear: "Better...

    A Personal issue with the Etrac. Solution?

I have my other settings at basically where I have seen posted here. Well....I make a few steps and there deosn't seem to be...

    How to deal with nulling and so forth

    I am presently hunting a yard of an old home. The Etac found me two Mercury (same plug) there yesterday. Half of the yard will let me use my Minelab Coins pattern without nulling. When the Etrac is nulling, will it still pick up items that have not been discriminated out??? I know that the...
