    Picked up another Beep and Dig

    myself I tried the rechargeables a few years ago and didnt care for them. This was on my Tesoros, my uniprobe and other detector and don't remember trying them on my X 5. On my Tesoros I notice they wouldn't fit back in the detector and those reg size didn't last long on a hunt. On my UniProbe i...

    Picked up another Beep and Dig

    The X5 was thought out good by Troy and we waited several month longer as he wasnt happy with some of the things that could cause a problem later on and replaced them before releasing the X5. The first 200 X5 were a little sparky for some, so they change them a bit so not so sensitive and the...

    Picked up another Beep and Dig

    Yes I have a X5 also I picked up a few years ago that has the 7 & 9 inch coil with it, I had one before as I was a dealer for them and sold it and missed it dearly as I did well with it. In a area 2 different Minelab had went over well and said they had gotten everything. It was a corral area...

    First time out with the Apex

    When I run into this case where it sounds good and loud sounding I lift my coil up to around 8-10 inch and it dont make a difference it is either big iron or something big and walk away. I also have switch to all metal and get a idea of how big it really is. II am mostly a coin and jewelry...

    Coin tumbling question…

    There is some good ideas on here, many have their favorite was and I may try some of them. First separate the copper and the clad as they should not be tumble together or you will get red coins. Now my way is depending on the tumbler and how much you have to do, add the coins in the tumbler so...

    How is the DeepTech Vista compare

    To our Sovereigns many of us use. Because of my bad hearing the Sovereign being basically a Turn on a go detector has done very good for me in coin and relic and dont have to mess with different setting to adjust or misadjust so there is more time to actually hunt. The Sovereigns are heavy...

    Manticore Depth Test Result - Not too impressed

    I wish you luck as it sounds like you are a beach hunter. I have a friend on the treasure coast in Florida that spends his time down there in the winter, then back in Minn in the spring to do lnd detecting and water hunting in the spring and summer . He keep talking about those storms and how he...

    Minelab Explorer XS

    I believe if you want both the ferrous and conductivity you have to switch to the smart screen as it is more of a graph and not digital numbers. Myself why I didnt care for it was because the tones were too high and so fast sounding compared to my Sovereign I was using. I am very hard of hearing...

    Xterra wired phones

    If you have a Xterra pro does it take 1/4 inch plug you shouldn't need a adapter if it is like the reg Xterra series, if the headphone you are trying have 1/8 jack then you will need a adapter to go to 1/4 to fit in the jack. now if it uses the 1/4 you shouldn't need a adapter, but now some...

    Manticore Depth Test Result - Not too impressed

    I agree the BBS of the Sovereign was great and will say I use the SunRay meter, but by the tones alone plus the meter reading it ID like no other detector I have ever used. For me this was a turn and a go detector and dont have a lot of setting to adjust or mis adjust, just by slowing down your...

    Check this out

    Thats a Relic Mag 7 automatic from the looks of it from Compass. I believe they were used in the late 70 and did a excellent job for me. I think it found more silver and my 3 silver dollars were found with my Releic Mag 7 . The automatic part was the threshold didnt need retuning , but could...

    Bounty hunter

    I think why you cant find much info on the Big Bud is that this detector was build back in the early 80, so it is a bit old. The one that was the better one is the Big Bud Pro that was the red one, then they made the Big Bud 220 D later around 1986 and didnt seem to work as well as the Pro did...

    Wiped Seated, Barber & Big Silver

    Way to go Dave, you got a great start for the year, As most see the research makes a big difference in the finds that we find plus knowing the detector we that we use. I bet most of this was found in well worked areas, but knowing the detector well and going to the area that most overlook...

    PATRIOT METER

    Yes they were quite expensive and well built, but tried many different meters and I too found the SunRay DTI meters work the best for me. With the Sovereign the 180 meter is right on and those close tones the numbers could tell the difference between the zinc penny and copper one, The zinc...

    PATRIOT METER

    I tied 2 of this meter in case the first one was bad, for me it wasnt for me, but some really like it, but no longer being made. the one thing I did like about it was the back lite on the meter as very good. I bet that they are hard to find anymore and do wonder how many were sold as you dont...

    How old is findmall

    I know it was earlier in 1996 as there was only Minelab sponsored with SunRay at that time and this is where I was told about the Sovereigns and became a dealer in 1996 being this detector sounded so good. With the help of a few of the poster I just had to get one and the patience to learn it...
