hi all i just got a Vanquish 440 & took it down to my favorite super trash infested freshwater beach well i have used the nox here so good time to test the Vanquish when i first started out it chattered a lot due to the blanket of nails & bottle caps & heavy minerals (but it wasent picking the bottle caps up π) thats a good thing well i hunted a bit & the only thing i could do to calm her down was lower the sensitivity to around half as there's not to many adjustments to work with . the nox has quite a bit more control as i hunted i got more used to the sounds & hit this beauty a id bracelet 29 grams of 14 k gold at about 4 inches read 17 π§ happy happy i finished my run & went up to the car & got my much loved excalibur to see how i could do with it well it was in a constant null on the iron but did ok on targets. then i decided to try a less trashed area downstream the Vanquish ran much better & i was able to put the Vanquish sensitivity up to around 3/4 ran smooth i was hunting along & i got a mid tone & a locked 7 on the vdi (wouldn't let it go ) ah ha says i gold π & sure enough down 7 inches i get a 10 k ring ive hunted these beaches many time & i guess i missed this 1 theres more to the Vanquish than meets the eye & it has the dna from the nox i think its gonna be my new friend i love the turn on & hunt operation im thinking its a winner thanks minelab the V is for Victory

i have the 10 x 5 gold Extreme coil on my sdc 2300 & its a treat to swing now no more stepping on the coil all day to keep the machine in a state of balance now i can focus on hunting & not on the machine feeling out of wack. & the sdc seems to feel lighter with the new coil though i dident weigh it the coil runs smooth as silk & is very sensitive.. haven't gotten it over any yellow yet but there no doubt in my mind it will preform it wont be coming off anytime soon thanks Coiltek

hi all just got me a simplex & gotta tell you they named it right its a simple to run hi teck detector with lots of features & its got some bite to it.. took it down the what i call the beach from hell lots of bottle caps & nails & hot Arizona ground ground balanced at 87 & ran it in park.. i would love to tell you that it dident pick up bottle caps but its a dd coil so it hits them but up just bellow the zinc penny range they could be dealt with hope they get a concentric out soon.. the simplex has a wide spread on the discrimination nickles 22-23 coins 79-90 pulltabs in the middle.. hits hard on nickles.. she found me this little beauty on a heavily worked beach in a mass of iron .. rang in at 19-20 10 k 2.3 grams im happy i have a new friend.. Thanks makro for a great detector
