Very cool. I could've brought home several scopes from a startup I worked at a few years ago that basically went belly up (fire sale acquisition). Did you print the case too? Nice little setup!

Always wanted to play with one of these. There used to be a good site dedicated to these. What was the difference between their CoinTrax module and the GoldTrax module?

You could look at it that way for just the Kruzer but the Multi Kruzer was more like the Impact. I had the Impact too, and loved it, but the MMK had all the modes I used on the Impact in a waterproof, lightweight, ergonomic S-rod format with a few easter eggs the Impact doesn't have.

That's turned out to be my recipe as well for gilt buttons. Still experimenting on other objects.

I haul my clad to the casino in Tonopah when we go, and use that as my seed money for their [tiny] casino for our stay. I'll wash off the dirt, but I don't tumble it (I've seen mixed results from tumbling). It usually keeps me away from the ATM 🙂 I know others that roll and deposit their annual clad harvest.

Could be a button front, or maybe a Victorian era front to a broach, hat pin, or something stamped out. IMHO it's not mission period, I think Western era or later. Maybe @Tom_in_CA will take a peek.

Just last month Monte sent out the latest update for his summer WTHO hunt, you just don't know what tomorrow will bring.

I had the pleasure to speak with Monte on the phone several times, and visit with him at one of his early Nevada WTHO trips. He introduced us to a standardized test methodology with his nail board. Between his great stories going back to the dawn of metal detecting, along with his dedication to push the envelope forward in regards to his perusal of relic hunting, Monte was a detecting legend. RIP Monte, you'll be missed.🤠

@Shelton what do you charge for one of these kits shipped to California, USA?

I was thinking the same thing, especially when they were discussing it and the red line. Still it was a very educational video.

Steve I have it on good authority that there's already a field patch being tested by the beta testers that should be released in the near term. As for what it does, that I don't know exactly, but the grapevine says it'll add new features and bug fixes. We shall see...

Steve I'm out using my Manticore for the first time and referred back to this forum to check settings as I was less than impressed with the Manticore my first hunt for a few hours yesterday. I was using ATHC, and although I did try ATG a bit, I think I was mainly in ATHC. It was pretty noisy (ran it @ 28 sensitivity), and although I managed to pull a few conductors out, I was definitely digging more false positives then usual, and the noise reminded me of my F75. I'll try ATLC today. Also you can watch that video in English, or at least w/English subtitles. From the youtube video select CC/closed caption, then go to settings > Subtitles/CC > Auto-translate Russian:English I guess we know where the MultiIQPLUS moniker comes from now. It IS doing more than the Equinox, we just need to figure out how to harness it's strengths, and how this added frequency adds to the MultiIQ+ equation and what it means for Manticore users.

Also if you have your phone around, make sure Bluetooth is disabled on it. I had forget it was on on my iPhone, and the ML105's weren't connecting for some reason, and as soon as I disabled BT on my phone they paired right up.

Looks like a nice turn of the century? relic site! Little bit of everything, work-check, period coin, fancy, and the obligatory punishing spent munitions casings.

That's a great legacy to leave behind, really something to be proud of.

Congrats!! The first one's usually the hardest one to find.

Same here on both accounts! Last detector club I was in some guys went to Gaines Creek, one guy got a nugget the size of a potato! I've always wanted to detect there, even if it's just with the Equinox or Manticore, at least I know I'd have a chance to find something...maybe 🙂

A silver flat button, heck yeah!!

Let me know if you decide to dump your 900 🙂

IIRC the T2 has a static all metal mode with TID (my F75 LTD did, so I'm assuming the T2 did as well), and although I didn't enjoy using it, I know there was a following and they were finding uber deep coins, bullets, buttons, etc.

The Racer 2 was a brilliant machine, and they had a trigger button for the pinpoint 👍 The Racers (and MMK IMO) employed the KISS method, although there was a lot going on behind the green curtain (or was that door?) to the user, it presented a simple to operate and easy to understand UI. Fun and deadly, can't ask for more.

In your imagined button pad they could consolidate a couple of those buttons to make it more manageable. Bring back the trigger switch! They can dump the pinpoint button, and the trigger switch could be a multi-purpose.

Should be an easy fix if it already works fine on the Equinox 800 IMO.

But you're not wrong 😁

So basically they made a Multi Kruzer 🤔
