    Finally made the big plunge

    After careful research and comparison I made the big plunge and ordered an Equinox 800, a 6" coil with lower rod and a power pack. I wanted to have a detector that I could use to hunt in shallow water in lakes and at the beach. I also decided that I wanted a multifrequency detector. I noticed...

    Tek-Point Pin pointer operating frequencies

    Does anyone know what the 16 frequencies are that the Tek-Point pin pointer can be set to operate at. Perhaps Dave Johnson can answer this. The reason I want to know is because then I can set it either higher or lower than the metal detector frequency to help eliminate interference between the two.

    Metal detecting for people with physical disabilities
