    Garrett Bought Whites!!!

    So glad the history of the company is staying in the US. When i was 9 years old in 1974, i wanted a white's so badly. I really respect their name. It must have been such a difficult decision for Mr White, but i think it was a good one

    My First Walking Liberty Half Dollar

    I've never pulled a silver that big out of the ground. So, yes, it looked huge to me. Definitely had me smiling out loud even if I was all by myself. Great memory on that find.

    My First Walking Liberty Half Dollar

    I don't usually post finds, but this was a nice one for me. I had driven to the town where I grew up to visit my mom for her 97th birthday. She is well cared for in a memory care facility there. Of course I took my F75 to hit some of the spots I knew from growing up I went to a giant soccer...

    Question about depth accuracy in pinpoint mode

    I asked this same question here when I got my F75 2 years ago. Mine also reads 2" deeper than actual. Just a quirk of the machine, but irritating.

    First Hunt with the new 8.5" DD search coil

    I had a math teacher in high school that insisted we learn the slide rule despite that calculators had been the norm for at least a few years. I wonder if I still have mine somewhere.

    First Hunt with the new 8.5" DD search coil

    Do you think you might be able to post a few pictures to help? I'd like to see a device that mounts into the small open section under the cuff, and has some sort of telescoping or extending portion that is weighted. Extending that section would counterbalance the machine specific to the...

    First Hunt with the new 8.5" DD search coil

    Someone good at fabrication should be able to come up with a counterweight mechanism for this machine. There's a nice pocket under the arm cuff that could be used somehow. I remember a guy used to make a useful counterweight for the Garrett AT series that worked well.

    F75 vs Simplex+

    Wanted to add a couple of things since this post was dug up. My 2 cents: This Summer I have almost exclusively used my F75. The Simplex just bothered me especially in these ways: 1. shaft wobble. I am 6 feet tall. I have the shaft nearly completely extended. Wobble can be really...

    Trying to update v 2.77 to v 2.78

    We're way off topic now, but just to say, I've still not found a US source for the new longer middle shaft. Anyone else?

    Trying to update v 2.77 to v 2.78

    I don't think it comes close to my F75 in terms of accuracy and readout with VDIs. I also prefer the trigger pinpoint of the F75 and the tone breaks, including the 4H mode which brings in nickels as a high tone. But I'm really trying to patiently give this a chance. I'd like to see a software...

    Trying to update v 2.77 to v 2.78

    I agree that this option on the Impact is really interesting. You wonder if there isn't a similar feature on the Simplex somewhere buried in the software. I hunt mainly schools and parks, and although I would say my first criteria for an interesting signal is that it is repeatable, I really...

    Trying to update v 2.77 to v 2.78

    Dirt_swinger, I'm not arguing, just looking for clarification in considering going from 2.77 to 2.78. Is what you are describing (about possible tone only at greater depth) what you see in Park 1, Park 2, or both? I saw someone comparing 2.88 to basically the Park 2 setting of v2.77 Andy

    Simplex optional coils in production

    Half again the price of the detector? I guess the detector was the hook. No more entry level prices.

    Tall Man Shaft Available ?

    That is probably a good design decision. If the lower shaft were longer, I think there would be a lot of bad flex and wobble. Lengthening closer to the pivot point near the grip might keep the wobble down.
