Redneck

I think this is pretty slick.  I use the EQ800 in shallow water to 3' deep. Our  lake bottoms here are packed gravel.   Its hard to pinpoint the target with a 11" coil.  That 5" coil will be a slick pinpointer. It should cut my target recovery time by quite a bit. I also like the replaceable tip cover as Phrunt pointed out.  I have to keep my Garrett carrot dry as the tip is starting to wear thru.  I epoxied it, but care is warranted.

Goldbrick,  Daniel has a nox 600 and in his red dirt, the 600 does the best of all the vlf machines he has ever used . Daniel knows his stuff, been detecting for a long time and tells it like it is.

Here it is,  read the post by Daniel.  Nasa Tom that responds is helping market the unit.  Maybe had some design input also.

On the Dankowski forum about a month ago, 2 guys were testing a Tarsacci in the Tennessee red dirt, and it did not do well at all. 

I would wait for more testing before I would part with $1500 .  Now maybe they did not have it set up right, or the machine was defective, , or it does not do well in mineralized dirt?  It seems to do well in salt environments.

If the overseas seller would put them on Ebay, that would make purchasing/ selling  so simple.

Thanks for the explanation , Steve.  The only pulse I ever owned was a few decades ago, the Garrett XL200.  

It ignored all bad ground, but then it was not a deep machine.  I did find a bunch of gold rings with it though.

Sounds like a good one. Forgive my ignorance,   I was under the assumption  that pulse detectors ignored the ground.  Does anyone know why this unit is not suited for mineralized ground, but only salt water  beaches? TIA

Gold is starting to take out the $1300 level, next stop $1360.  Pretty good resistance level at 1360, it may take a while to break thru that level. When it does, it should garner a lot of attention from  the chart watchers.

Once the item sells, the link is no longer useable I believe.

type in " Minelab equinox waterproof earbuds", and they should come up. The seller is in California, " ailen07"

I just received a pair of corded waterproof earbuds I bought on ebay for $46.   Comes with the 90 degree end that screws into the control box. 

Im very satisfied with the volume on these. Maybe even slightly louder than the pelsos' . I probably will not be under water much, but will use these  on hot days .

Micheal Oliver just posted another short article at King world news if you are interested.  This guy is pretty sharp.  

Yeah, I am invested in detectors also, no gold fields near by though.  I think its been a few years since I dug up some gold jewelry.  Lots of fools gold though, tungsten, titanium , buckets of aluminum.?

The jury is still out on the Tarsacci.   Not hearing a lot  about the results on that one.   I hear rumors its a flop in highly mineralized soils.

Some positive posts on the Great salt lake beaches. I 'm taking a wait and see attitude about it.  Not gonna  be a guinea pig on that unit.  

I'm curious to see how the manta performs.   Seems to hold some promise, as there are some videos out.  

When the ID flashes a good number or two, along with undesirable numbers, I dig it.  So many times I have dug up coins and bits of trash in the same hole.  The detector was correctly ID' ing all the items.  Its  so fast and seperates so well, it took a bit to get used to this type of performance ! Love my EQ800!

I did the update  when it came  out.  My next trip to the beach , on my first signal, the ID was all over the place.  Jumping from 12 to the high 20's and everything in between. I thought, man this update sure sucks.  I dug up the target anyway, and it was a 12 coin spill in a 6" area.  Nickels, pennies, dimes and quarters.  OK no wonder why the ID was all over the place!! LOL.  Update is working fine.  I get a laugh every time I think back to my first target with the  new  update!

Im surprised, not many  investors here?

Steve, you definitely have an awesome forum here.  It looks like findmall is dying a slow death, not a lot of posts anymore on a lot of their forums. 

NOW is the time to invest in Gold and Silver mining stocks ( also physical gold and silver)  if you can afford it!

I have subscribed to various stock analysts news letters over the last 18 years,  and have found that Michael Oliver 's  Newsletter 

is the most accurate I have come across so far.  

He is saying  NOW is the time!  His technical analysis and momentum indicators  are giving the green lites.   He feels gold will be at $1360 by the end of January.

He also says 2019 will be an excellent year for the metals, and to expect some fast upward moves in price.  A lot of the stocks are still near their price lows for the year.

You want to buy low and sell high.  With the gold and silver markets very small in size , when the big money starts to pour in, we will see explosive upwards moves in the prices.  

When gold hit close to $2000 an oz about 10 years ago, a lot of  mining shares were 4x higher in price than they are today. I came across Mike Oliver 's commentary at King World News . com

He currently has 2 podcasts there you can listen to, to get it straight from the horses mouth!  Don't depend on a redneck ( me) for your investing advice.  LOL.

I wish you all the best in 2019!  Detecting and investing.

I found the yellow minelab phones too quiet for my 60 yr old ears.  I picked up a set of Pelso phones and the volume is just right.

 I have not taken them for a swim yet. Too cold.

I bought a Q20 last year. Its a handy detector. Works very well.  Its no clone of the F70  I had 5 years back.  Its  a very smooth running machine. Hard to beat its performance in its price range. 

The least kellyco could do is compensate you for such a stunning review.

A month ago I took my 800 to a tiny beach, red clay and stones. Bone dry, as we had no rain for a month.   I found very little and not much depth. Last  week  I rechecked it after we had 2 weeks of heavy rains,  and the beach came alive , found 16 coins, all deep.  I believe it was the dampness that was the key.

I dropped by my local dealer today to pick up the uw headphones, and he said he got a dozen 800's in , and has a few now in stock.

He does not expect them to collect much dust .

way to go,   If I were you , Id start pulling out the iron targets, there has to be more good coins in there! 

Question.

On the other forum,  it was mentioned that you have to ground balance the pinpointer  after its turned on?  I thought pulse  ignored the ground? Someone set me straight please! TIA
