    My First Hunt with SE

    Very impressive. I was a little nervous that I wouldn't like this detector and I've been putting off using it until today. I used the 6" excellerator coil because I was in a trashy area.. I used the factory settings and dug all the high tone signals. I learned if it sounds like a coin, seems...

    F75 and T2 "iron resolution"?

    I've read in a couple of places and people have told me that the T2 has better "iron resolution" than F75 - thereby making it better in iron. I've pretended to understand -:confused: I'll come clean here - I don't know what that means . . . I understand that iron reads in a broader # range on...

    Sunray X-1 probe questions

    When hunting in thick brush or woods, anyone have problems with the toggle switch being bumped over to probe given the position of the switch? Is there any way to mount the probe under the forearm? Is there any mod to keep the coil wire concealed in the lower rod or do you have to wrap it...

    Never used a Minelab - SE on the way!

    Hello all. I've been detecting for 12 years and never touched a Minelab. Really, now that I think of it - I've never hunted with anyone using a Minelab either. I've been a Tesoro/ Fisher user mostly. I just traded for a used SE - and I can't wait to get it and try it out! I'm getting the...

    Observation - the F75 coil doesn't seem to scratch . . .

    I've put 50-60 hours in on the F75 w/ stock coil over ROUGH terrain -relic hunting in rocks,trees,sticks,thorns, glass, and who knows what else. I have not been gentle with it - banging trees and bushes out of the way. I have not used a coil cover. I've been scared to examine it - thinking I...

    Detecting in the Snow with the F75

    The F75 is great in snow! We had about 3 inches on the ground today and a buddy and I hit an old cellar hole. I hit the 1865 indian at every bit of 10 inches deep - I was astonished by the F75's depth increase in lower disc settings. I ran at DE, 85, disc 6, and 2f. I'm very happy with this...

    F75 Leather Grip Mod/Upgrade- Question

    I've seen a few pictures of F75's with leather wrapped handgrips. The more I use mine, the more I think it needs it b/c over time my hand gets pinched between where the bottom of the foam padding meets the plastic part of the handle. I'd like to put on the leather one. Could someone tell me...

    Tesoro Service - The Best!!!!!!!!!

    I sent my WELL used and loved Silver Umax to the Giffords because I basically broke the cord off of the coil. They replaced the coil, recalibrated the machine (hotter than ever!) and even enclosed extra coil bolts at my request. They also fixed a speaker short - and the speaker rings out loud...

    CZ question - how does the needle ID thing work?

    Never used or seen a CZ in person, only pictures and reviews. From the pictures it's hard to tell how the needle it system works - is it a fluid motion when you sweep over a target or is it jumpy? What does it mean when reviews say it locks on to a target? When you push pinpoint, what happens...

    Please Define what De-tune , Re-tune Fast/Slow means

    Hello, this is a stupid question, I know - but what does all of this mean? I use a Tejon - but I never really understood this terminology. What exactly does it mean to detune / retune the machine and what is fast and slow retune? Ian

    Weight of CZ models

    Hello, Is there any place that I can find the weight of fisher detectors both hip mounted and rod mounted? I'm particularly wondering about the CZ3d and CZ5. I found a couple of places that say that the CZ5 is 3.7lbs even hip mounted, that doesn't seem right to me. Thanks, Ian

    Privy Advice Needed

    My friend and I stumbled upon several old buried privys in a little known ghost town from (1880) ( like 6 in a row). We tried to dig one and got to about 3-4 feet down and found ashy soil and broken plates, but no bottles. It was too much work for nothing so we gave up for the time being...

    Predator Tools Rocks!

    I just ordered a relic shovel from them on Monday night and received it in 3 days. I think I spoke with George Lesche himself. I explained that I needed the shovel for a relic hunt this weekend and he got it in the mail right away. Very good people and prompt. Plus, wonderful product. Ian

    Vaquero - As Good As They Say?

    Hello, I own a Tejon, is there any reason that I should purchase a Vaquero? I want to see what everyone is raving about. Vaquero owners, what is your favorite thing about it? Ian

    New Tejon Users . . . don't dispair . . .

    I must admit, I was getting a bit frustrated with the Tejon in my first few outings. Being used to the turn and go Silver Umax, I was spoiled with the simplicity of it. Then I tried the TEJON and it was so fussy and noisy. I couldn't get the thing to calm down enough to be effective. I now...
