    Does Garrett plan on releasing new Whites products

    This information comes directly from the main field tester: Garrett went over every tiny detail of the original Whites Goldmaster 24K design, lightened and improved tolerances of the supplied coil and added quality rechargeable batteries, charger and LOWERED the price by almost $100. My...

    Had to find out what all the noise was about.

    The Simplex software version will be displayed at the bottom left of the screen on startup. Nokta Makro is shipping the current Simplex batch with a little black plug that is inserted into the top of the lower shaft. With the smaller coil attached the lower shaft is not nearly as flexible. I...

    Apex vs. Ace 400 and AT Pro

    There is definitely something odd about the APEX sounding off on what sounded like some kind of interference several times in the video. Maybe it was picking up EMI from the gentleman's camera/phone or he has an APEX with one of the malfunctioning Viper coils. As far as the target separation...

    Does anyone use an F-Pulse pin pointer?

    The F-Pulse/Tek-Point is my favorite pinpointer. Set on full sensitivity it will hit 4" deep coin sized targets easily. Set on full sensitivity it will also interfere with detectors so I have learned to not lay may detector down with the coil next to the target I'm recovering. Wet ground and...

    Had to find out what all the noise was about.

    I got the same package deal Jim. It is a really good detector for the money. Something to ponder...........this is my second Simplex. The first one had version 2.68 software which I did not care for. I updated it to 2.77 which I really like. This new one had 2.78 software which I really, really...

    equinox question

    The only Minelab change I know of from 2020 is the price on the Equinox 800 which is $50 higher in 2021. The Equinox 600 is still $649 from most dealers. With permission from Minelab, Coiltek released three new coils for the Equinox 600 and 800. There have been several software/firmware...

    average number of minutes for hf 9.5 coil

    If you have the elliptical white coil, 15 kHz uses the most battery power. 31 kHz would add 5 more hours or so to battery life. Page 32 in the version 5 manual (I think) has a battery times versus frequency settings charts. My 9” HF coil gets between 16 and 20 hours running at 31 kHz. That...

    Detector/coil question

    My stock 11X7 coil for my G2+ sits on a shelf in a closet. I only use the Nel Sharpshooter of the 13" Detech Ultimate on my G2+. I do have a SuperFly for my Garrett AT Gold. It is slightly smaller than the Detech 13" Ultimate and is roughly 2 ounces lighter according to my scales. Specs online...

    XP Deus

    The legacy coils all have four main frequencies=4kHz, 8kHz, 12kHz and 18 kHz and there are three incremental frequencies on either side of those four main ones for a total of 28. There are 10 programs too. Download the Version 3.0 manual or check it out online at least. It's full of information...

    XP Deus

    Sure, if you upgrade to 5.0 you can still use the 9" LEGACY not liberty coil. Or, just keep it the way it is for awhile. Using the X35 coil with 5.0 gets you 7 more frequencies in the 25 to 28 kHz range, a boost mode using 4 kHz, a lot more features on you WS5 which would really make a big...

    XP Deus

    If the Deus you are thinking of trading for only comes with the WS5 headphones, S shaft and Legacy LF 9" coil you should be ok with just that setup. I wouldn't pay more than $600 for that setup. If it comes with the cell phone sized remote controller also, $700 to 800 is a pretty good price...

    Getting The Right Advice..!

    The AT Gold is a perfectly good, uncomplicated detector especially for someone starting out. It was my first detector with a display and more than one tone........It will hit most targets in your moderately mineralized dirt down to about 6" (with the 5x8.5" coil) with pretty good target IDs and...

    Getting The Right Advice..!

    So, he bought an AT Pro or an AT Gold. If he bought the AT Gold, there may be hope for him after all. If he bought the AT Gold with the 8.5x5 coil he will need a bigger coil soon. Nel Superfly is really good.

    Getting The Right Advice..!

    A lot of the "Best Detectors" internet sites are out of date (before the Equinox, Vanquish and Simplex were introduced). My best advice to your friend is to ask him to completely ignore those sites. They are either biased, not even done by experienced detector users or as I said....out of date...

    Getting The Right Advice..!

    Not trying to start a detector war here. I have owned an AT Pro and still own an AT Gold along with a Deus, Equinox (two 800s) a Teknetics G2+ and a Vanquish 440 (which my son in the Navy is borrowing). I also tried out the Simplex (liked it) and many others. I really like my AT Gold or I...

    Need Threshold Help.

    Off/On and volume level are adjustable on the 600. Pitch in addition, is adjustable on the 800.

    Need Threshold Help.

    I sometimes use the threshold in the Park, Field and Beach modes IF I am tired of listening to iron responses. In Park, Field and Beach modes the threshold tone is a reference tone which means it will give you a steady tone in the background that will go silent over any target that responds with...

    g2+ compared to XP Orx

    The only advantages the G2+ (make sure you buy the G2+ it has some features that are not on the older G2) has over the Equinox is the same advantage it has over just about any VLF metal detector.........one of the best threshold based All Metal modes on the market, period and very immune to EMI...

    Simplex for prospecting? What do ya all think?

    Between the Super Traq, Scorpion and the Simplex..........I would pick the Simplex but with the 9.5X5" coil. Just realize the All Metal mode on the Simplex is just OK. To me it is the weakest part about the Simplex and yes I have owned one. I owned a Super Traq for a long time too. Iowa Relic...

    Vanquish 540

    I really like all of the Vanquish models. Do they detect as well as an Equinox.........? I too own both. If I setup my Equinox in Park 1 or Beach 1 with recovery speed on 2 (Nox 800 or 1 Nox 600) and iron bias set really high, I get just about the same performance as the Vanquish 540. Depth on...
