GPX 4500 For Civil War Relics
Daniel Tn replied to Tom B's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
If you can find a used 15" DeTech Spiral DD coil, snatch it up. That was my favorite coil for the GPX. -
This forum has all I want and need. Nasa Tom is insightful but he is hung up on everything Manticore. Nothing really new going on. I'll hang around here as long as y'all will let me. And try to stay out of trouble.

F5 Vs F75 Or T2 All Metal
Daniel Tn replied to JCR's topic in First Texas - Bounty Hunter, Fisher & Teknetics
If you put it in BP mode while in disc mode, it carries over to All Metal. And it is quite noticeable with it on vs off. Beware though, as you can get a lot of blow back from the ground. IMO the best all around coil for it is the NEL SuperFly. That is the coil that stays on mine. This thread is a sad reminder of the reality of time marching on. The opening post to it, is in reference to my civil war relic site "bullet hill". I've had it for 20+ years and now it's completely gone. Was sold shortly after my last hunt there in which the message references...and now is a subdivision. -

I guess I will be calling them today. Manticore headphones, new out of the box, won't charge or turn on. Completely DOA.

If you don't like the M8 coil, you will have no trouble selling it. I would bet right now, you could get exactly what you paid for it new. I got lucky and found the M15, which I think will fit my needs better...but that M8 seems to be the hot ticket item right now. As for advice/tips. For just getting started, I would recommend bringing the Ferrous Limits closer in to the center line...moreso than the factory presets. This will help you not to get fooled by iron/nails as much. It's similar to the iron bias on an Equinox, but with more user control/customization. As you kinda get a feel for the machine...you can start opening the ferrous limits back up.

I sold my first one to help fund an out of state trout fishing trip. That was back when they still weren't easy to find and it sold fairly quickly. I have since gotten another one but I actually don't use it all that much. I can't even say that I'm in "the jury is out in deliberation" phase....more like, I am still in the process of listening to the evidence for the trial. It is powerful, no doubt. But some ways I like the Equinox much better. And like the Deus 2 more better. Nasa Tom is sold on it for sure but I do think a lot of his love for it comes from having a role in its testing and design.

Dang! I'm jelly! Congrats. I have an M15 in bound as I write this.

Mixed Bag Of Detectors.
Daniel Tn replied to George Kinsey's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Hmm. Wanna part with the Tarsacci? -
I've had both the XL and the Quest ones. I liked the Quest ones the best. The XLs are comfortable but the audio sounds scratchy to me through them.

I think they've well rounded out the whole machine. It's not perfect but it's the one I reach for when I go hunting.

When Your Wife Tells You To Go Detecting, Just Go!
Daniel Tn replied to CPT_GhostLight's topic in XP Deus II Forum
Great!! -
My last time using the D2 was with the .71 version. I liked it then but ended up letting the unit go. I hadn't even followed any of the updates or anything...been busy with other hobbies. For some reason though, I decided to give the D2 another try. In doing so I saw they were up to version 2.0 now. I have used it only a few times but I can already tell...this thing isn't going anywhere. Pretty significant improvements from .71 to 2.0 IMO. It runs really well and smooth and I just like it. Everything about it. I'm actually getting ready to price all my other detectors now and just keep this one.
