    Shallow vs Deep Targets

    I posted this idea in the "wish list" section but I'd like to hear your thoughts. I know most people will disagree with me on this one but I would like to have the ability to silence the detector on shallow targets. I know a lot of good targets are within the first couple of inches, but at...

    Need Help With My Excalibur 1000 (Short in the Headphone Wire)

    Just got back from a trip down to Myrtle Beach and my Excal 1000 developed a problem while there. There seems to be a short in the wire to the headphones (where the wire meets the ear cup). It worked fine for most of the week, but I noticed the threshold would disappear when any pressure or...

    Tesoro Cortes vs. Troy Shadow X-5

    Does anyone here have any experience with the X-5? I currently have a Cortes and it is a great machine. I just enjoy trying other machines and was wondering if the X-5 is as good as the Cortes? Thanks

    Digging too much iron with my Cortes

    Went out yesterday to a site I've hit a few times before with my Explorer II. This was my second outing with my Cortes and the first time I've used it at this site. I noticed that it did not matter where I set my discrimination, I would sound off with a nice TID of 95 on large iron. It...

    I currently use a Minelab Explorer II. I love the performance and I will never get rid of it. It's a great machine. I'm looking for a capable back-up detector that will give me a faster sweep speed without sacrificing too much depth. I can then go after the deepies with the Explorer. I'm...

    Traded my Minelab Sovereign GT for an Explorer II (First hunt was amazing)

    Just thought I would share my first great find with my newly acquired Explorer II. I found a 1775 Machins Mills KGIII copper!!! I just recently traded my Minelab Sovereign GT for a used Explorer II with an 8" minelab coil, 8" x 11" elliptical platypus coil, and a 5.5" Sunray coil. The...

    Minelab Meter Adjustment

    I just received the Digisearch meter for my GT. Wanted to know how everyone here keeps the adjustment knob from being bumped out of it's settings? It seems to be very "touchy". Also wondering how you keep the meter attached to the mount. It doesn't seem to be an extremely tight fit.
