    GPX 6000

    I can’t answer your questions about when or how much, but I’ve owned a couple different Minelab PI detectors and they shine best in ground that has seen little or no human activity.... they are not only very good on gold, but work equally well on ALL types of metal.... The first target I ever...

    Need A Bullet ID

    I’d say it’s a bullet....... it wouldn’t be the first time that someone created a bullet cast for their own special design... it may have incorporated a paper patch, gas check, lube or any combination of features the person loading it wanted to use....anybody remember the “rocket pistols” of the...

    Where’s my Coiltek 10” X5” elliptical coil???

    I’ll be happy when Minelab finally sends me the 6” coil that was part of the package I ordered from my dealer a couple of months ago... I should have had enough sense to order from somebody that actually had everything in stock instead of letting Minelab drop ship when they get them back in stock...

    Sealing the Equinox 800

    The upside (for me) is that I’ve been running ideas through my head on how to float a gold bug 2 in a creek ... having a “supposedly” waterproof base to build around, will make things easier.... my thoughts are to maybe run pontoon like floats on either side .... backpack straps for easy carry...

    Sealing the Equinox 800

    I’m a little troubled after reading about the leak problem.... the main reason for me picking up a brand new NOX 800 last month was for working the bedrock on the shallow creeks in the Ca. Foothills for nuggets....

    Coil wires/headphone wires length question

    I'm wondering if lengthening my coilwire & headphone wires will have any effect on performance? I just ordered a Garrett AT gold with the thought of maybe keeping the main unit above water & running headphone/coil wires down to 30-40 ft...thoughts, experiences???

    Waterproof???

    I've ALMOST convinced myself to get a A/T Gold as a dual purpose tradeoff type deal (because I'm not rolling in cash...:sadwalk:) I just finished putting together my hookah outfit & want to do a little nugget hunting along with swimming hole ring prospecting... HOW GOOD is the waterproofing on...

    Best "WATERPROOF" detector for nuggetshooting?

    Between the waterproof detectors out there...Sand Shark, Tiger Shark, Infinium, Excalibur, CZ 21, etc. what have you found to work best? I need one that will work down to at least 30'.... I'm toying with the idea of building a waterproof housing for a Gold Bug...thoughts?

    4 X 7.5 Excel coil & Radio Shack 33-1253 Wireless Phones Part 1

    Both got attached to the SE today and my first impression of the Phones is that they lack the high volume that I "think" I prefer. At first I couldn't seem to get them above a whisper but finally managed to get them cranked up to an acceptable level BUT the speakers sound CHEAP & when hitting an...

    Excal coil question....:shrug:

    I'm probably getting ahead of myself here as I don't have my future detector yet, but I seen an Excal on ebay that had waterproof connectors and a WOT & standrd 10" coil. Does anybody know which series of coils would work...any of the ones made for the Sovereign is what I'm thinking???

    Since it's been slow on the forums...let me ask a few questions from you Excal users:shrug:

    I'll be getting an Excal within the next few months & have been wondering if there is a generally accepted time span for getting it serviced??? I'm talking about seals...maybe around the controls & cable fittings...I've downloaded the manual from minelab & haven't seen anything refering to...

    I'd like to say the same thing...But I did get to meet DirtRob:thumbup:

    Nice guy...went to a downtown park & only pulled a few clads, then went to a spot closer to home where he pulled some silver out years ago...I actually did quite well for the time we were there,I managed about four quarters & a Sacagawea dollar and a few dimes. Best thing about the day though...

    Results of my plan to dig ONLY 00-29:rofl:

    Last week I headed down to capitol park with the intention of digging only 00-29 as a sort of personal experiment...Was a pretty nice day all said but as soon as I got the noise cancelling done I realized it would be a lot harder to do than I had thought...:huh:...OK I think, I'll JUST dig what...

    Only 1 wheatie-1956..No silver but $5 in clad...Park is LOADED with coins...Has anybody ever just got frustrated & dug ONLY....00-29

    I'm thinking of doing that the next time I hunt capitol park in Sacramento...there are just too many signals from modern clad & think maybe I should just go in & try cherry picking...I've tried just digging anything over half way down the scale on the depth meter but that just seems to cause me...

    Went at it about 4 hrs. today...beautiful day...Nothing good but I did find this & at first I thought WOW, but after I pulled it out & rubbed the dirt off...did find some other curios but need to clean them to see what they are. After seeing all the great finds today I started not to post...but...

    Question about the Excal's tones & reaction to highly mineralised ground:shrug:

    I'm thinking of going under some bridges & local diveing rocks in the foothills of Calif. & Lake Tahoe VIA Hookah & am thinking Excal...Can anybody tell me how the unit might respond in hot rock heaven??? Black sand??? I'm also wondering about the tone I.D. Is it similar to the Exp. & can you...
