1st Time Out - MXT Pro + 18x4 Detech Arrow Coil
Tony replied to glacialgold's topic in White's Metal Detectors
Nice combo for sure.......and sorry to hear about your sciatica as it's a miserable experience. -
Couldn't agree more. I was poised to get a Manticore but this is a deal breaker. This is not a case of "cutting off your nose to spite your face" type decision. I just simply refuse to pay these bandits their ransom money. I'm looking for an emoji with the balaclava but no luck yet š¤£

Hardwired Or CTX Headphone Connector For Excal?
Tony replied to BigSkyGuy's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
I go with hardwired every time....coils and especially headphones. My conditions are hard on equipment....hunting in 2 to 3 foot breakers will just about force you to hard wire everything. -
Do You Tape Or Seal Scuff Covers?
Tony replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Plasti-Dip my beach and water coils / skidplates taped on my prospecting coils. -
Can't answer your specific question Simon but Fisher detectors in NZ are a lot cheaper than Australia. The Gold Bug 2 combo is nearly $500 kiwi dollars cheaper. Can I ask where you might be purchasing Fisher stuff from (I'm guessing DredgeNZ ?) Just as a side note....the Excalibur is also quite a bit cheaper in NZ than Australia. ......grab the 14" coil....should ping a bigger nugget at depth. Tony

Whiteās TDI Battery Modifications
Tony replied to BeachBunnyTRHunter - DP's topic in White's Metal Detectors
.......and tiny dobs of flux works wonder with solder flow and good electrical joint contact. Finish with a light spray of isopropyl alcohol to clean the area. -
Thank you Oceandog.......and welcome to the forum !!

If only the non-ferrous tone wasn't so high pitched......

A quick Google search has the British and Australian Sovereign coins near enough identical in size and composition.
-
Please update if possible....thanks. Maybe the UK and Australian sovereigns are similar.

I don't mind digging pull-tabs.......so long as every other target is a gold coin š

Don't tell me you had some laying around somewhere.....š

Hello Manticore experts......anyone care to guess where these Australian gold coins might show up on the Manticore ID. The modern half-sovereign include a diameter of 19.30 mm and a thickness of 0.99mm. On the other hand, the full sovereign has a diameter of 22.05 mm and a thickness of 1.52 mm. The half-sovereign, weighing 3.99 g, is around half that of the full sovereign, which weighs 7.98 g.dimensions and are both 22K gold. Thanks for any guesstimations !!

Sakobs Gc-1078 Metal Detector Review & Testing
Tony replied to SAKOBS Jolin's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
With all due respectā¦ā¦eBay and the like are flooded with $50 metal detectors and probably donāt need anymore. Iām sorry I canāt be more constructive than that. -
Is that relative to local EMI or by maxing it outā¦.

Can someone enlighten me on why there is no love for the humble 9v battery. The physical form factor relative to 6 x 1.5 AA batteries is surely an advantage. I can get a 4 pack of Duracell 9v for a reasonable price. Is it a short run for the 9v?

Iām trying to get one ābundledā with the Manticoreā¦..offering a āfreeā Pro-Find 35 as part of the current promotion here in Australia. With the Aussie āpesoā dropping like crazy, I canāt see myself buying anything from overseas for a while. FYIā¦..I currently have no pin-pointer whatsoever. Waiting for Simons reaction on that š
