    Soooo disappointed!

    Popped a coin out of the ground that had me yipping for joy until I flipped it over and saw the back. Apparently it’s a replica. What are the odds?

    My oldest find ever!

    I found this coin about 20 years ago and lost the case I stored it in until tonight!!!! So glad I found it again! I know this is modern for you brits across the pond but I will likely not beat this in my lifetime. (Found in upstate NY)

    Legend Settings

    Got the new Legend in today from Kellyco and watched several setup vids as well as read the manual. My question is regarding iron filter, bottle cap reject, and ground supressor. Do any of you change these from the defaults and have you noticed improvement? The detector is for my 14 year old...

    Disappointed in the equinox 600!!

    I have a manticore for myself and purchased two equinox 600’s for my 14yr old and 9yr old sons. After finding a 1798 large cent down about 12-14” and seeing my oldest son slump his shoulers in frustration I gave him the manticore and I used his equinox for the remainder of the hunt. He proceeded...

    Sentimental Detector

    I have owned well over a dozen different detectors but there is only one that I vowed to never sell. It was my second detector (first was a Tesoro Bandido) and I developed a love of metal detecting using it. It’s a Whites Spectrum XLT that I sent in to Whites 20 years ago to have the board...

    Minelab Explorer XS

    I just purchased this detector and I can’t seem to get the ferrous number to show up before conductivity meaning I only get a single number for conductivity when scanning a target. Can someone please help get the ferrous number back. I don’t have a manual and only found the manual for the...

    Garrett AT max VS Nokta Legend

    Looking for a detector for my son that is better than his equinox 600. Was looking at the nokta legend and the garrett AT max or pro. Anyone own these that can compare them for me? Looking at which provides more tonal information and better target separation/identification. Thanks

    Silver ring

    So I was detecting a small beach in the Adirondacks with my 14 yr old son. I was using a manticore and he was using an equinox 600. I found a silver ring on the beach without my son noticing and he was becoming slightly dejected at finding so little. I dropped the ring and buried it in the...

    DFX vs XLT

    I purchased a manticore for myself and two equinox 600’s for my sons. My oldest son hates the equinox for a variety of reasons. I had an old Whites Spectrum XLT which I grew up with and which is the detector that made me fall in love with detecting but it finally gave up the ghost. I found a...

    Manticore

    So after owning a manticore for a few weeks I do like it but I find it disconcerting that pennies and dimes give me the same VDI reading. I remember when I had my minelab explorer SE I was always able to tell a penny from a dime. I wonder if I am doing something wrong here. Also, is there a...

    Back braces

    Does anyone else suffer from horrible back pain while metal detecting that has found a decent back brace as a solution? If so, which brace? I used to dig everything but now I only dig signals I think could be silver because there’s only so many holes my back will let me dig in a day now. It’s...

    Target shape or target trace info

    I love the target trace feature on the manticore that will sometimes help me see that I have two or three different targets under the coil as well as the general shape. What other detectors give information as to general shape??? I remember my Whites Spectrum XLT had the bar graph and two long...

    X35 coil upgrade??

    I am a coin shooter and my xp has the old LF coil. I’ve been researching and want to upgrade. I’m thinking an x35 coil would be my best bet. They are simply expensive as hell. Is it really worth the upgrade price?

    00/23 ???

    I seem to be getting a 00/15, 00/17, or 00/23 as a ferrous/ conductivity reading on occassion and it is almost always a deep target. I dug a silver canadian dime that was bouncing between 00/22 and on occassion i would get 3/28. The sound was repeatable so i dug and was pleasantly surprised to...

    FERROUS/CONDUCTIVITY CHART

    I know this question has probably been asked a hundred times but is there a chart of what target each ferrous/conductivity combination represents?? Im also looking for a site of custom programs for relics and one for coins.. Thanks in advance for any help HH mike

    DFX Vs. XLT

    I have had an XLT for the last 5 years and love it! I am thinking of getting another detector and am debating between a Fisher CZ-3d and a DFX... Since i still have the XLT, is it really worth spending the money to get a DFX??? is the DFX that much better than the XLT???? thanks Mike

    CZ-70 pro Vs. CZ-3D

    Im looking at getting rid of my Explorer SE (which ive had for two weeks) and getting either a 70 or a 3D. I was wondering which one people felt was better and why? I am predominantly a coin shooter and i use a whites XLT which i love. I wanted to try something different though and splurged for...
