  1. I used to use something like these but now i don't where any. I just set my knee in soft dirt instead. 2 ACL tears myself https://www.lowes.com/pd/Marshalltown-Professional-Knee-Pads/5001377531
  2. The special “portable” one you made for me has been going strong and still works great!
  3. With the release of the Xterra pro showing that all these coils are only limited to a chip and not the coil itself, it should be possible to hack the chip or override the chip with another. When I was younger this was easily done in gaming systems to make copied DVDs work to play copied games. Anyone know if this might be getting “worked” on for the coils? Small market though, maybe not worth the time of an ambitious electrical engineer unless they were an avid detectorist. @phrunt I’m winking at you 😉😁 You seem to have the “know how” or the “contacts”, plus all the coils😂
  4. If you had to choose one, Xceed or Coiltek? Or do you drop the same money for 2 on a Manticore 🤣
  5. Boy at that pace we are never gonna see a smaller DD coil. Probably have an Z8000 at that point.
  6. Nice reports guys! Throw the 11” in there too next time for QA/QC 😊
  7. I like to read everything you post Jason and learn from it. Although I don’t write like you, I did post two videos that I knew people would complain about lol because that’s what this forum always does about comparison stuff. 🤣🤣. In the end we all should be learning.
  8. I gave up the Z, 6 months after the 6k came out. I’m not going back. I am doing what Jason says, using it as a prospecting machine. Then in a few years (or less), will buy the 8k and go back to get all the deep nugs I left behind prospecting withe the 6k. Wash rinse repeat 🤣
  9. Looking forward to the 3 coil comparison! I am curious about the thickness of the different coils too.
  10. I did the same thing that you did scanned through the video to see if I saw any nuggets in his hand and then got to the end and listened to the last minute 🤣🤣🤣🤣
  11. I’m gonna do it. Not only to fix the detector but also for resale value. I would not feel comfortable reselling my detector to somebody and telling them that it might need a fix and at the time of sale might be out of warranty.
  12. It doesn’t need to be in my opinion. I mean you are basically snorkeling with this. So probably not going to be using digging tools. So for fanning or hand grabbing sand you want targets to be rings or big bracelets etc. Now sucks it might miss thin necklaces but even full size machines have had similar problems and unless the earing is a diamond stud, who cares 😂
  13. The Nokta Pulse Dive is awesome. I used the 8” coil snorkeling in DR. Found a nice ring quite deep. Had to fan and dig deep by hand 🤣
  14. Yes you are correct these are examples of Rhyolite. The ones with the large phenocrysts are called Porphyritic Rhyolite or Rhyolite porphyry.
  15. My guess is ML is gonna drain Nokta’s smaller cash reserve vs their much larger bankroll, not so much win the case. If they do its win win for Minelab and possibly good bye to Nokta 😕
  16. Um the date in the vid said 01/12/2022, that was 11 months ago, unless they mean Dec 01. 🤣🤣 being that, I did not get this email with a video I’m assuming it is for our overseas friends
