Simon ... You could have been floating down this river! This guy has quite a YouTube following as well. The secrete is out now that we have posted him here! I Quit My Job to Hunt for Gold. This Is What I've Learned. - Men's Journal (mensjournal.com)

These are all from woods and yards in eastern Massachusetts. telephone technician's badge, 1910s shoe buckle Pocket watch case. Never heard of this brand. patent match safe, 1883 ladies' shoe buckle clip, Edwardian demi-tasse spoon, plated

Ok, I sent Garrett an email thanking them for the great service, my invoice was no charge but asked to confirm there was no charge just to be sure and lastly and FIY about the shipping telling them it was not urgent, they won’t get my email and pictures until Monday but they have it just in case. Minelab also got back to me again … I’m going to need a whole new thread, lol… Ok they are great too, life is good we live in wonderful times.

We don't need no stinkin' two box! We need a 5X10 Elliptical or 5-6" round! JMHO ( the only one that counts)😁

They say you have to dig a thousand pull tabs to find a gold ring. Today I reset the counter back to zero again with this chunky 10k.

A couple of years ago X-coils discontinued older legacy model GPX coils, however demand has been large in their part of the world by relic hunters and big deep gold hunters for a large coil, so they come up with the goods with a 32" Spiral wound GPX 4500/5000 coil. It's an absolute monster of a coil, I can't imagine this being sold into the international market due to shipping a coil this size, hopefully the people in Europe can find some good deep relics and gold with this thing. It's good seeing some life brought into older models with all the excitement and talk these days of the newer models.

@GhostMiner My two cents: Steve regretted his comments made in the heat of the moment and apologized (several times). I would hope you could accept his apology, move on from your hurt feelings and fire up your writing juices to continue with your story. You have a large number of readers waiting for the next chapter.

I just watched the show with Steve in it also. I didn't see it last week. As a matter of fact I haven't been watching the series much because my kids are sleeping or they are watching cartoons. While they were gone I just had a chance to binge watch several episodes and I like it very much. Every show I learn something from them. It is like a YouTube instruction video for something I won't be doing but if you want to set up a trommel and sluice boxes then they are great. The producers do have control over the arrangement of the content, but I think in the case of this show the instructions and the fabrications are the stars. This isn't a personality show of conflicts or a soap opera but it is obvious that Juan and Freddy are very helpful men to the miners who need them. They remind me of Mike Rowe and Dirty Jobs.

Over the past two weeks I've bought an MXT, V3i, and Spectrum XLT. There's just something I like about those big box detectors. I swear, somebody better not post a 6000 XL. It's one I've always wanted to try. That MXT is a beast with DD coils on it. I wish I could have found the Pro model just for the ground grab button but for no more than what I have in this regular MXT, I'm not complaining. The V3i is one complex dude. It is going to take some time to figure it all out. I've not received the XLT yet but I know a few guys from Georgia that used to hunt with them in all metal and would wear me out in red dirt on Civil War relics. I always wanted one...took me nearly 30 years to get one. Side note: In playing with the V3i, it may very well have one of, if not the deepest, most customizable all metal mode of any VLF machine I have used. In my test garden I am wooed. Whether or not that setting will be usable in actual hunting conditions, is yet to be determined.

I thought I'd pass on a bit more research ... Nevada’s missing treasures: train robbery loot, a legendary underground river and more (rgj.com)

I have to give Garrett 10 stars on a scale of 1 thru 5 because 5 stars is simply not enough. I sent my Axiom in to have them give it a look because I have had some issues with the audio cutting out mostly. The last time I had it out was in a location plagued with really bad EMI not to far from a military base, it wasn’t a problem in the morning but by afternoon it got a little noisy and hard to use. I’d sent Garrett a detailed explanation of what I was experiencing and they went to work. Testing it over and over my Axiom seemed to function as it should have but they didn’t simply stop there, to be sure they replaced the circuit board and most of the internal electronics and added the latest firmware update and continued testing until they were certain it was as good as it could be, this is to me the best solution as I much prefer one carefully examined over a new replacement, I have complete confidence it’s perfect after all the tests and work they did, a new detector is probably just as good but we all know no matter who the manufacturer an occasional subpar unit shows up from time to time, even then we’ve all at some point wondered if our unit was working at peak performance… how can you know. Well great customer service is the best answer to that question and without doubt Garrett is the answer they have the customer in mind and stand behind their product. If anyone is local enough to me and was considering the Axiom let me know and we can meet up and you can try mine out, I have in addition to the 11” mono and 13” DD coil an 11” DD coil too so you can get a pretty good idea of what will work best for your detecting style… you can also try my 6000 and the 5x10 gold hawk if you like, I don’t have the new nugget finder coil yet but I’ll have one when inventory catches up with demand.

I can clearly remember, in a time long ago when things were quite different. I used to get into scraps often and as early as kindergarten. I remember the principal would pull out a leather strap about 8" long. He would have us BOTH put our hands out palm up. And smack our palms. Once. It hurt pretty bad. Then he would look us square in the eye and say we couldn't go back to class until we shook hands and made up. That was pretty hard to do, however, it was something that actually worked. When you shake and make up it's like some kind of social agreement. Guys would say things like yeah we shook hands and that was the end of it. How times have changed...

I was hoping the MX Sport would be an MXT in a new, waterproof wrapper, but it wasn't to be. Interface and written instructions were non-intuitive compared to the MXT (I like analog knobs), sensitivity had to be cranked down so low on salt beaches for stability I could never really take advantage of its waterproofness (MXT is basically rain resistant, which is fine for relic detecting, never pretended it was a beach detector), and there were performance issues upon release, which necessitated shipment back to Whites. Finally, the plastic battery compartment screw mounts simply cracked when exposed to cold such that I had to send it back across the country AGAIN to Whites (on my dime) to get it fixed under warranty. That was the last straw. Sold it shortly after that. Never had any such issues with my metal clad MXT. So, yeah, there is something to be said for those detectors that are built like a tank and just get the job done.

That deal on a pristine unit is how I came to have the MXT and V3i. I can't even tell if the V3i was ever taken out of the box until I opened it and can almost say the same for the MXT. The V3i came with a 10x12 SEF coil as well. I was actually one of the pre-production testers for the Vision aka V3i. My job was to test the stereo mixed mode and give feedback. This was the exact time frame I started using the Whites TDI and I never gave the V3i much attention after seeing what the pulse units could do. It is a very EMI prone unit for sure. But that all metal mode is smoking. Prospecting mode on the MXT is somewhat close to it IF the gain is maxed completely out and SAT adjusted accordingly. I'm definitely going to have to take these two to the minie ball field and do some playing.

Be careful what you read. Unless Minelab says it explicitly (i.e., it’s explicit in the manual or in update release notes), then it’s all just speculation, even from respected experts who help ML test such as NASA Tom (BTW Note to ML: we shouldn’t have to get information passed down from the mount via Tom or others acting as messengers - just write it down for all of us ML, so we avoid telephone game misinterpretations). ML, as is their custom, has not been very precise explaining how iron bias is implemented and how to properly use it beyond the high level treatment in the manual (vague on the trade offs, such as whether it will cause false iron positives on mixed non-ferrous alloys or targets of small mass, whether 0 is off, depth impact if any, etc.) leaving us to experiment with it. I doubt there is an actual depth impact, more like lessened ability to unmask non-ferrous in the presence of ferrous targets, mitigating recovery speed advantages. From what I can tell, all they did on the 900 was eliminate the old original Fe Iron Bias filter and just went with the F2 IB filter they introduced in the Nox 600/800 3.0 update - but who knows, they’re silent about whether the IB implementation is different between the Nox generations. However, on the 700, now, there is one notable difference than on the 600. Setting IB to 3 on the 600 equates to IB 9 on the 800. With the 700, IB 3 only equates to IB 6. Also, the 700/900 IB defaults are different across modes whereas on the 600/800, F2 was fixed at 2 (600)/ 6 (800) for all modes. Interesting. From the 600/800 Manual: From the 700/900 Manual: See also this discussion:

I might add, I know and understand why Dimitar is so secretive about revealing more detailed information on the salt balance (so called)/ threshold interactions and settings. A lot of things can change with just small adjustments and if you get one thing set wrong the machines can be severely handicapped. Yea, sure, there's quite a bit of information here about how people (users) have set the machine up but to be quite frank, some of these settings just won’t work in my area. Every location can be different and some of my sites gives the Tarsacci no leading edge over the Equinox. The essential requirement for the Tarsacci is super bad ground and I'm assuming the salt water beach. But, I'm pressing on, learning more with each outing.

He looks a lot like 'Pioneer Pauly' It's rumuored that he's a vampire.

Just watched the Fredo and Juano show. Great as usual. Way more believable than the GhostMiners stories. That was a very quick appearance from Steve on the show. Looks like im getting off the Rock for a few weeks, hoping to do some mining up in Hope. Will be in Anchorage, gonna check out the new AMDS. Kodiak.

Still using exclusively. Trying to learn all I can before having to send it back to the loaner. Honestly, I've not found anything that the Equinox or Manticore couldn't. Another day trip tomorrow to an old plantation site. I really believe it might excel at the beach or other extremely harsh areas.

A few years back I had a lady producer for one of these so called reality gold shows approach me about being involved. I told her that I was a prospector and had given up small scale mining for a number of reasons. Red tape, sabotage, and 'moonlighters' being just part of the negatives. I told her that they could follow me around for weeks or even months without anything of consequence being unearthed because I spent my time in the field attempting to prove up mainly new ground where little or nothing had been found previously. If the country was of geological interest regardless of proof of being auriferous it was worth a look. I was not interested in fossicking or using machinery but did occasionally turn up some nice stuff. She told me that they were 'flexible' and that it is entertainment. In other words they could fake it and do an enactment of my finds, and they would pay me for my time. I told her, "sorry, but not interested". I could just see my friends and real prospectors laughing themselves silly at such obvious fraud. Since then I have seen a few episodes of this nonsense, although I do not follow or subscribe. Some of the participants are known to me and to be honest it is no shock to see them making fools of themselves, although the gullible just soak up this crap, and can't seem to get enough of it. Was it P T Barnham who said "You will never go broke by underestimating the taste of the public", or something along those lines? The production companies that make this fiction know to "never give a sucker an even break" and reap the rewards. You only have to see how popular the most ridiculous 'action' movies are these days to know that the public thrive on fantasy.

Your'e welcome. cjc

That definitely has NOT been my experience (Nox 900 as susceptible if not more susceptible to EMI vs. Nox 800) to the point that I am just not using the 900 much. It’s especially chirpy for me in dP which is unfortunate because I was excited about dP for the very reason you cited (eeks out some audible target depth). Glad your 700 appears to be more stable and EMI resilient than my 900. Maybe early production lot issues for me.

So I'm glad that Garrett put this 6" concentric coil on sale... for the Goldmaster 24K... especially because it will be easily available here in Europe... I confess... that I've already been several times thumb on the trigger..to buy it .overseas ..from USA...for my Goldmaster 24K....but even there it was not easy with the availability or shipping of this coil.. ...Garrett proves here again....that he is a major player in the detector market..so....thumbs up...for this information...👍

🫢 Whatever you do, if you don’t know what it means, don’t google images for Simon’s term “budgie smugglers”! I really didn’t need that today! 😆

I'm not sure I'd count the other coils out per se, though I have heard no plans for either the very large or very small DD coils. Neither was very popular so rather unlikely. This 6" concentric took longer by far than I was hoping when Garrett reintroduced the 24K, but the pandemic happened and Axiom stole attention away, and so it got delayed. They did totally remake the coil though so it was more than just slapping a Garrett sticker on the old White's coil. Anyway, long in coming, but this 6" coil is the preferred coil by many, including myself, on the 24K. So good on Garrett finally getting it done, and with scuff covers included.

I looked at Tom's post and agree to some extent. As far as stabilization goes, I was only showing what effect it has on depth and I'm aware you would only want to use it in nail beds. But as far as mode used, it really makes very little depth difference in my soil type which one is used. Except prospecting mode, which is far deeper than the others. I can and did switch between all the modes before I ever posted the video just to make sure I was really seeing issues with the Manticore. There is maybe a 1/4 to 1/2 inch difference between ATHC & ATLC and in this particular field I felt like ATLC was giving me the best results. Beach modes have a difficult time ground balancing for whatever reason. It usually takes 20 pumps to get it right. Some of the modes if I recall correctly it was ATHC and General are constantly giving a low tone grunt while going over the ground, so it's almost necessary to notch out some of the negative numbers or run with the iron mask on (Horseshoe I guess) to have a quiet hunt. The D2 on the other hand is the same way in High Conductor but very tame in General. There are so many combinations of settings that can be used on these new machines, one can speculate all they want. I always get comments like you should have used a higher recovery speed, lower recovery speed, different mode, etc. So did I have the best combination of settings that would optimize the situation? Who knows. But it think it's apparent to me that somethings up when I can compare General mode with the exact same settings between the 2 software versions and get obvious differences in performance. Is it my machine, or is it the update? Hopefully I can answer that question once I get a replacement. If the old version is better in my ground I'm fine with it.

Went for a 2 hour hunt this morning at the beach. I got to a low patch in the wet. Never dug so much lead in such a short time (1 hour), but I knew it had to pay off. Right before I called it quits because I was exhausted from digging deep holes and fighting waves, I popped a ring. 14K, real ruby and diamonds and 13 grams! Deus 2 rules on the beach!

Updated the Manticore a few days ago and took it out today for a few hours. After a while I noticed I wasn't digging anything very deep. So I burned a zincoln penny in my 4 bar dirt at 5" and it was nothing but iron grunts in all programs but prospecting. Changed every setting I could think of and ground balanced a bunch. But still no depth. Pulled out the 900 and the Deus 2 and they both hit it just fine. Dug down to 7 inches and buried the penny, D2 and 900 still picked it up but the Manticore was now completely silent. Maybe a download gone bad or just a bad update in general, IDK. could be linked to my bad dirt. Going to go back to the previous version tomorrow and do some depth tests and then update to the latest version and depth test again.

Thank you in advance to Steve for allowing be to update people on developments. The number of people waiting for a cover for the Axiom and Manticrore is pretty mind boggling. I know Steve doesn't like to use covers because he says he likes to keep the machine as light as possible. But the Manticore cover weighs 4 ounces and the AXIOM cover weighs 10 ounces. I'm sorry that designing prototyping and perfecting covers for new machines takes so long, but I won't have it made unless it's perfect. What I thought was going to be a nightmare to design, the AXIOM cover actually was not. It was similar in it's weird design to the GPX6000 so that went smoothly. The nightmare was the new Manticore cover. That large protrusion in the back with the flashlight was really hard to work around. If it was a big machine, working with weird angles is not such a challenge, but when you work with covers for smaller machines negotiating weird angles really cause problems for the design team. I've seen some covers for the Manticore being marketed already, they just put a big piece of elastic across the back. it blocks the coil cable plug in, the headphone jack and the flashlight. I suppose you can stretch the elastic out of the way to allow the cable and headphone jack to be plugged in, but what about the flashlight? Anyway here are pictures of new items these were the final approved prototypes, they have been in production now for about 2 weeks. Estimate is 3 weeks total for production to conclude and then probably another 3 to 4 weeks shipping customs clearance etc. The Gold Monster Cover we have in stock now. I am going to have to do a You Tube video on the QWIPPLE™ so people understand just how cool this new item is. I have a plethora of new items being manufactured right now.

Kangaroo Scrotums are getting hard to get in the larger size, and you can't sell anything made of Kangaroo into California. This new pouch is really nice. A larger size made of genuine soft leather. #1. Let me tell you about the QWIPPLE™. Take the weight off while detecting. With less strain you will be able to detect longer and concentrate on subtle targets better. • Top of the line custom made 50% stretch (most shock cord is 100% stretch) UV Protected Dacron Polyester Shock cord. Durable and tough. Control without all the bounce. This shock cord is specially made to my exacting specifications. This is necessary to withstand the rigors of metal detecting. I had to order 6200 meters to get this shock cord made to meet my requirements because it's not available commercially. • Exclusive ambidextrous heavy duty shoulder clip that allows 1 handed easy height adjustment "on the go." Never miss a swing, no stopping to re-adjust. Attach either looped end to the rod and you can still adjust the height, because both sides of the clip have an adjustment groove. • Amazing, rod bungee connection point fits any detector. You can also adjust the height of the detector here, or, simply use the loop end of the shock cord to attach. If you do like to adjust at the rod adjustment connector, no problem. When you are ready to lay your detector down in the dirt, don't take the clip off at the shoulder, this just allows your shock cord to lay in the dirt with your detector. Simply pop the shock cord out of the side of the rod adjustment device and leave your shock cord hanging on your shoulder high and dry and clean. • Every QWIPPLE™ triple adjustment shock cord support system comes with a RING STRAP included. You can sew the RING STRAP onto your favorite support harness, backpack or hydration pack and you're all set. Doc 1. QWIPPLE™ 2. Axiom Cover 3. Manticore Cover 4. Equinox 700 and 900 Cover 5.

Thanks Chase... I was going through that thread and it was helpful. From watch a few videos on Youtube it seems that General is now the "standard". I used Sensitive FT a lot before on the fields and Beach & Beach Sensitive in the older versions. Will give the General a try in the next few days around the fire pits at the beach. Lots of nails from pallets that get burned. Also lots of pull tabs.

See my commentary on this above. I was typing it out when you posted, apparently.

To be clear, I would go with General on dry sand ONLY. Although in my opinion, the observed ferrous separation issues are not that big a deal, its not like you are typically detecting in a bed of nails situation on the beach, so I just stick with variants of Beach Sensitive everywhere using pitch audio which is the most reactive and iron volume at the disc breakpoint (I use between 7 to 10 disc, the Beach sensitive "variants" are based on the three different FMF Maximimum frequencies that are available now - see below). If I have my doubts about a ferrous target, I can turn on it or use General as an interrogation program if I am concerned something might actually be masked against a tent stake. I don't lose much sleep over it, but it is a real thing that has been demonstrated. If you are in the wet sand or surf, you really don't have a choice for stability and you need to go with beach or beach sensitive (or Dive if you want to go a little deeper on high conductors). You can go to this thread for more details on what's new with Ver 1.1 (and some of the lingering issues and new quirks) but there are basically four major changes of note: You can now adjust the top end (maximum) FMF frequency for any FMF (XP's version simultaneous multifrequency) program - you pick either 14 khz, 24 khz, or 40 khz. This biases the FMF towards depth and high conductors (14 khz), Middle of the road performance (24 khz), or bias towards micro targets and lower conductors such as gold, brass, or lead (40 khz). Full Tones has been improved to enable iron volume to be used at or below the discrimination breakpoint regardless of the disc setting (it used to only work at disc = 0 or below. A new audio profile has been added called HiSquare - it is sort of a hybrid between Square and PCM. Gives you a little more tonal harmonic distortion to aid in audible target ID but not to the extent of the mosquito tones of PCM. Finally, XP added a 5 level audio filter - increase the setting and you can get more tonal nuance out of non-ferrous targets which can perhaps aid in depth or identifying the harmonic distortion associated with aluminum can slaw and the like. HTH gets you started.

I might guess that the poll could turn out to be about 50/50 but I am pretty sure, it tips negative if you include headphones and coils. 🙄

Good for you. The older units can still get it done. Just as important, they can re teach us about how to set up and run on more difficult sites. You have to think instead of just going with the built in whizz bang.

Ordered a don the way. Thanks.

Not much different than XP, ML, Nokta at product release time. I remember because you called out XP for the same behavior with Deus 2 and coils… Like you said then, product release anticipation invariably comes with ”High Anxiety”.

Ok, thank you very much.

Be careful with that kind of talk here Reg.

He is 5.5 now and has a circuit board set and loves it. It has snaps so he can change the wiring quickly.

I agree with bigtim on this one! My 900 has a lot more chatter than my 600! If a software update doesn't improve that ...my 900 is history!

A quick update on an earlier comment on the 6000, Minelab reached out to me apparently they did not get the email? Anyway, things happen but I need to amend my earlier comment they do as well care and are quick to respond to customer needs and also provide excellent customer support, my apologies the comment was undeserving.

As an engineer, the shape of it will force it down on the bottom instead of floating upward. It would create down force like the wing on an Indy/F1 car. Don't know if that's good in a real rocky area though...

I also did not eventually notice an improvement in EMI handling. With the 700/900, I did notice a small improvement in overall depth using DP tones and normal tones, faster recovery speed, better unmasking, slightly better sounding ML 85 wireless headphones along with the awesome physical and ergonomic upgrades. The extremely expanded target ID range was a wash for me. I am glad Minelab includes the ML85s stock with the 700. I prefer the 600/800 for less iron falsing, target ID stability/consistency and for its tighter target ID scale. I really prefer the Wi Stream Wi Fi WM08 module compatibility along with BT APTX LL headphone/earbud compatibility. My 800 with Detect Ed carbon fiber shaft and original 11' coil weighs 2.88 lbs My 900 with stock shaft and newer 11" coil weighed 2.82 lbs. Thanks for your reports adamBomb!!!

I did have a little UPS shipping issue they must have thrown it around because Garrett had it double boxed and tucked nicely in its backpack, all I can guess is whatever UPS did was hard enough one of the 11” coils had enough inertia to snap off one side of the arm cuff. I’ll contact Garrett I’m sure they’ll take care of it. In the meantime I used JB clear weld epoxy and some fiberglass cloth to repair the break so I can use it, I’m only part done and it feels plenty strong.

I for one won't be flashing back, in my mild soils the update is exactly what I was hoping for. It's kept depth the same while improving target ID's.

I did finally watch the episode. Not a bit of the footage we shot where I talk about and explain nugget detecting made it on air. In fact the photos Simon posted pretty much cover it. I arrive, Freddy says we are wanting to see if big nuggets in tailings, I look, answer is "No" and I leave. All in maybe two minutes of air time. But as far as detecting info it's a bust and I'm disappointed in that. Only a knowledgeable person would even have a clue what equipment was being used. But I did get a chuckle at the continuity error. No word on when the Hoffman episode airs but I'm guessing since I was there near end of season later July?

Steve is right in that...if Minelab can put on the market a multi-frequency coil similar in size to the Vanquish for a hundred dollars....and the same size coil on the Manticore will cost 350 dollars, the price is quite high.. here you have to realize that the Manticore is a high-end detector... and the accessories will cost more... than for other minelab models... more or less everything will cost as for the CTX303O model... if you are buying a luxury car.... also consider the costs of accessories.... it won't be a big problem for professional detectorists... they will find their own and the coils will be paid for... but ordinary detectorists... I will have to spend a little money on new coils.. everything is relative..... I'm a big fan of additional detector coils... especially if they're reasonably priced..... and now you can guess which of these coils has already found some gold coins and which hasn't...

I’ve been reading this thread, and although it’s a few years old there’s lots of good points and info here..I’ve had a few DFX machines and to be honest they just fried my brain,I’m not a tweaker..But,, I live in western Pennsylvania and although I tear it up on old silver and coppers ,I’ve only gotten about 5 gold rings/pendants in about 13 years…I try,I dig alot of junk but I just don’t end up with it..So, I’m thinking of getting a DFX, and that book Clive Clynick DFX gold methods Mike Hillis talked about earlier in the thread..Also, I’ve read a lot of post on successful dirt ring hunters and the one thing everyone seems to agree on is most aren’t deep. With the new arrow coil out,4x18 I think that would be a excellent coil for the DFX, cover a lot of ground and not hafto dig super deep..Good thread here,very informative

I have corresponded with Paul and Todd of Centreville Electronics and was very impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. Both were apologetic that it was taking so long to get my TDI Beachhunter repaired even though I stressed that there was no urgency on my part since I have several other detectors to use. The spring is also, typically, a slower time of the year for beach finds in my area. I'm just grateful that Centreville Electronics even exists otherwise I think that this machine would only be good for spare parts. Todd contacted me yesterday to say that my detector had been repaired and verified that it was working properly again. My detector was no longer under warranty but the cost for parts, labor and shipping was surprisingly reasonable. My TDIBH is on its way back to me as I write this. Kudos to Todd, Paul and their associates for the important services that they provide.
