I was in moderate black sand and had an iron target about 6" away. I had to work around to center it. Rang in at a 12 on the beach. Just tried it in the condo with some EMI and it was 13-14.

Clearly Aaron is a guy who was ALL-IN. Give him some space, he will be back! -

If You Are Considering Getting A Deus 2...
midalake replied to Rick N. MI's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
No, you lost the target because the Nox has a break-down in detection when: The hole fills with water, and the target may get sideways. It is not your fault. I know, buried a few targets today #%$&$&(*)_(*_$T -
If You Are Considering Getting A Deus 2...
midalake replied to Rick N. MI's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
I think the makers of the Legend are re-checking to see if they missed any parts from the Equinox. [did I just say that] -
What A Comparison Of The Aqua
midalake replied to Luis's topic in First Texas - Bounty Hunter, Fisher & Teknetics
WOW, was really excited at the title and first post. Then after reading found out there is no new platform. Does this testing tell you how many hours you will be down for repairs with the AQ? Sheesh. -
If You Are Considering Getting A Deus 2...
midalake replied to Rick N. MI's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
I enjoyed working the MDT on the beach here. Almost bought one and would never discourage anyone from buying one. It does really work great! I passed because of the dual metal coinage here. There was too much wrap around signal on the 1-2 and 5 peso coin. If that was not the case I think the MDT would of became my primary machine! It stomps the Equinox on how well it functions in the wave wash. -
SDC Not Working As Water Detector, Get A Nox?
midalake replied to c47gold's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
Yes, yikes. It is winter, and I would wait to see how the Deus2 shakes out. If light weight is a concern for you the D-2 checks that box. I am in Mexico working beaches until the end of April. I should have a D-2 in under two weeks. Right now I have everything to test it on EMI, Nasty Black sand, Rough Surf, and even normal beach. I will know if that detector will hold ANY SALT...........SOON! [pun intended] -
SDC Not Working As Water Detector, Get A Nox?
midalake replied to c47gold's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
ME? I use a custom straight shaft that does not use the detector as a grip. My surf is real rough and I would rip all those screws out in a year [or less]. -
SDC Not Working As Water Detector, Get A Nox?
midalake replied to c47gold's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
Mine got water in the case from showering it off. -
Yes, I have this same scoop in the travel version. My point was to the OP and others there are two types of scoops to consider. If one thinks they are going to hunt where the surf and waves are tough. Then consider getting a scoop that has more basket than open face. Open face scoops get targets knocked out too easy by waves.

NO, on the beach shovel. My recommendation comes down to open scoop or more of a bucket scoop. If you are detecting in a rough surf, I recommend a bucket style that keeps the target in the scoop. Example: RTG Pro Aluminum 6’ Water Scoop with Stainless Tip for Metal Detecting BB6TIP 9068004302 | eBay

Rafael's Finds In Mexico With The Tarsacci
midalake replied to YubaJ's topic in Tarsacci Metal Detectors
Not going to "finds" [findmall] for anything! -
Humm, detecting no where near the waterline????
-
Well just got notice I might have one in hand 15 days!!! Heck it might beat the extension my wife is bringing down! THEN we are going to see how this works on a salt beach!!!
-
We all have our soil/beach and detector comparisons as it is our own reality. I remember when I first got here and panned the Equinox on how it works in moving Salt Water. [in fact I was cussing it today] While I did not get banned, there was some spirted discussion. I have learned to ease in a bit more...............😁

Does The D2 Infringe Any Of Dimitar's Tarsacci Patents ?
midalake replied to Mark T's topic in Tarsacci Metal Detectors
Is this something, we in the consumer use of the product should speculate about? -
Sunray Pro Gold Compatibility With The Equinox
midalake replied to GB_Amateur's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Yes they are great. I sent in a set of old phones and they converted them to new "universals" at a fraction of the cost of a new pair. -
Anyone Have A Deus II Yet Or Expecting One Soon?
midalake replied to Skate's topic in XP Deus II Forum
There is some demand. But the price point will hold down sales. It will not take "years" -
Sunray Pro Gold Compatibility With The Equinox
midalake replied to GB_Amateur's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
What are you trying to use them on now? Do you have anything else to plug them into to test. Also, SunRay is still in business with new owners, and they can service your set of headphones. -
I hate going out on limbs. Too old and fat. Limb's break...............
