    Just pulled the trigger on the Manticore

    After selling two underutilized but good detectors, I have spent the last two weeks jumping back and forth between should I get the EQ900 or the Manticore. So I spent some time reading the manuals for both. The 900 was an easy read since I have been running the EQ800 for a few years. Im on my...

    XP Deus II operators manual

    Like most of you I'm really looking at the new Deus II. I believe it will great machine judging from the two I have. Also, I don't think quality and capability will be an issue. However, will forgo the rush to buy and at least wait until the user manual is posted on their website and I see some...

    Understanding the HF coils

    Hey Folks Dumb question #50 One of the common declarations of the HF coils is that they separate targets better in iron. This is commonly known, but why? Is it because the smaller and more rapid wavelength creates a "high definition effect" that has the ability to divide the high...

    High grass problem solved

    As an avid relic hunter, I'm tired of getting permission to only find out where I want to swing the grass is knee high. Last month I picked up this jewel on Facebook Marketplace for half the cost. Also bought the blade attachment and the heavy-duty blue line for thicker grass and weeds. Plan on...

    The called shot. Babe Ruth and the Buffalo

    Last weekend I went to my new permission and started out. After an hour of finding several wheat pennies the owner came by and we spoke for a while. As we parted he said "good luck". I replied, "you never know my next hole may be a silver quarter". As he drove off I got a high solid tone with...

    GLO maps and Maprika

    Just wanted to see if anyone has any luck with using Government Land Office (GLO) maps combined with Maprika to find locations? Do you find the Old GLO maps accurate or just a guesstimate of where these old locations are?

    4Khz luck

    I was hunting a short 2 hour hunt about a month ago where the EMI was so bad I thought I would have to increase my frequency from 8 Khz to 18 or 25 Khz (X35 coil). But I didn't want to do that because the targets were a little deeper than normal (soft fluffy soil with a GB of 74). So I decided...

    What I did today

    It has been raining here in eastern Oklahoma today so outside ventures were out. So I thought I would work on getting my Killer Bees incorporated into my Equinox. Finally received my headphone jack made for the Equinox and the swivel belt-clip to replace the useless wire clip that comes with the...

    Gun Butt Help or opinion

    I was social distancing at a mid to late 1800s homesite this weekend and found this gun butt. From what I can find on the internet is that it could possibly be a gun butt from a Harper's ferry musket made from 1841 to the 1850s. Otherwise, know as a Mississipi musket. I hate to reach that...

    Both Feet. A relic hunting question

    GPXers For about a month now I have been hunting an area that has had the addition of about 8 inches or more to help divert rainwater runoff into an adjacent neighborhood. This dirt was added about 30 years ago and is terraced with some soil being thicker than others Along the edges where no...

    Day of Days

    Noxcilians I have been hunting a place that keeps challenging me but I can't stop going there to face the dragon. There is nothing about this place that is appealing. The soil is extremely difficult to dig with layers of square nails, bits of iron along with modern junk. It takes a dummy like...

    Help with small bottle ID

    I found this bottle a few months ago at a location that was in operation from 1851 to 1910. Has an M or W on the bottom. Looks like an old pill bottle to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Andy Sabisch new Equinox Book

    Was wondering why there has been no chatter on this forum about Andy Sabisch's new Equinox book. From the Official Minelab Equinox facebook page, it should be ready May 18th. Posted by Andy himself last week. Should be a good read.

    Starting to click

    Well, Guys and Gals after a year of digging clad aluminum shards pull tabs and the occasional silver rosy, I believe I have started to turn the corner on the Deus. In the past month, I have made some exceptional finds hunting in high iron and tweaking the settings to find what works best...

    Need some advice on HF coils

    I have searched youtube for the advantages of HF coils in iron. I hunt for everything, relic, coin, and Jewelry in medium to low mineralized soils. Like most you, the limiting factor is the iron contamination and I know the HF coils works better for small items but have seen videos of the HF...

    1873 Shield Nickel Nox find.

    This weekend I found an 1873 Shield Nickel in an area that has been hunted heavily for years. The site is one of the heaviest iron contaminated sites I have ever hunted and decided to approach the site differently. So I turned the recovery speed up to 5. It was the end of the day so what did I...

    Depth Discrimination

    I'm just going to put this out there and see what happens. With today's technology, it would seem that a manufacturer would find a way to add depth discrimination option kind of like the way notch disc works on several units. I often hunt locations where I want to ignore the first 3 inches or so...

    Why is TTF the best option for iron laden sites

    OK, I know TTF is a good approach to iron laden sites but why? My theory is this. When in the conductive audio mode you may have rusted halo around the iron (highly likely as a matter of fact) which will present the opportunity for this halo to sound like a conductive target. By switching to...
