    AT Max

    Recently did the factory trade in for a new AT Max. Been playing around with it at the local park and already like it better than the AT Pro. I'm about to hit the US Gulf coast and want to try it out on the beach; some of the videos show it to be a rather decent detector even in the surf...

    Advice needed for 10 yo boy detecting.

    A friend of mine asked for some advice on a detector for his 10 y/o boy (5 brothers/sisters and is in the middle.) From talking to the Dad, a VLF should work, the problem is which one. He's looking for something decent that will not break the bank but works well enough not to discourage the...

    Scuba Detector

    Anyone have any experience with the small handheld underwater SCUBA detectors, the ones roughly a foot and a half long? I got one from Quest that looks like an over sized pancake flipper. Worked pretty good the first hour or so but then crapped out. Sent it back, got another and now new one...

    Excitement...!

    Had been reading a bit about aftermarket coils and wanted one to add some more versatility and life to the ATP. The one I wanted was the 15" Cors, I just didn't want it bad enough to drop over 200 bucks. In the mean time the wife tells me we accumulated a lot of shopper points and could get...

    Horse shoes!

    A friend of the wife has been talking about some properties she has out in the country that have had a variety of businesses and other stuff on them the past couple hundred years. The wife mentioned a few times about my metal detecting addiction... eh, I mean Hobby, so recently we loaded up and...

    Detector ignores certain metals...

    Started to put this on the Infinium LS forum but that place is a ghost town... I've noticed the Infinium LS ignores certain metallic objects; this is using the stock DD coil. My wife has a stainless steel chain mail bracelet that is rather heavy but gives no signal, it also gives no signal on...

    After market coils

    Been seeing some chatter about aftermarket coils for the AT. So far I've seen Cors, Mars, and one other I can't remember. Any reviews on these pro/con?

    Trash epiphany

    On a beach recently during vacation I spent a bit of time digging up trash that someone else obviously had been through with a better desc machine than mine. (My VLF machine was being difficult so was using the PI.) Beach detecting for me is just pure ease, easy digging, easy fill, no roots...

    Underwater pin pointer for SCUBA?

    So entertaining the thought of getting a pin pointer that is suitable for SCUBA diving. I know of the Garrett Carrot and Vibraprobe, just wondering who else has a comparable product. I have an older Garrett not water proof probe but after recent activities, may be in line for upgrade...

    Diving specific questions.

    Just curious how you retrieve targets; scoop, fan, combo, other? Would presume it also is dependent on conditions like sandy sea bottom vs muddy lake. I've not done a lot of UW MD yet but the little I have, realized the scoop was a little unwieldy in that weightless environment since I had...

    Infinium finds 2 lb pearl.

    Took the Infinium to the local dive quarry last Saturday. Only hunted twenty minutes though, my dive buddy does not share the interest in UW metal detecting and was getting board swimming in circles while I was hunting. I did find this 2 lb pearl though.

    New wet sand beach scoop...

    ... well, not really new but newly modified. I found a tool with a collapsable handle that looked like it would be stout enough for the scoop. so I bought one and modified/adapted it to fit my T-Rex. Until now, I had a full size shovel handle in it. I've not tested it and granted, the...

    AT Pro and SCUBA?

    Just wondering if anyone has actually tried the AT Pro while SCUBA diving in shallow water; I've never really considered 10 ft to be more than just clutz proofing and easy hose off for cleaning but lately I've been wondering a little. My 87 y/o Dad tells me of an old sliding board out in the...

    AT Pro rings through...

    Got a phone call from a guy at work tonight around 2100 hrs wanting to discuss safety equipment for the new hire. Now this guy is generally pretty considerate and extremely pragmatic, so calling this late on a Friday is a little out of sorts... After we discussed the company business, he...

    GTI 2500 replacement...

    Anyone got any inside info or good speculation on what/when the next new "GTI2500" will be? Considering the capabilities of some of the current new Garrett detectors, kinda makes me wonder...

    Curious about coils: mono vs DD vs concentric vs...

    Kind of gotten curious about coils lately. Having only two each, for both detectors (large stock and 8" mono on the Infinium, stock DD and smaller DD on AT Pro) it's never been much of an issue; big coil for area and depth, small coil for resolution. But lately I've been reading a bit about...

    Infinium third party coils.

    Tried this in the Infinium section but it's slow over there. I recall some chatter a few years back about third party Infinium coils. Anyone remember them or how well they worked? I was just curious.

    Interesting find yesterday.

    So my truck was acting up and I decided to drive the wife's car. There is an intermittent issue with the seat electronics in hers and sometimes it will not move back,. and yesterday was one of 'em. Was actually airing up the bicycle to ride it down to the park when the wife offered to drop me...

    Open air headphones?

    Anyone try these for detecting? It bugs me to completely cover my ears when out alone. I've been getting by just covering one ear but started thinking about these. Opinions?
