Also brassmedic lay's it out pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pwFXhUaDyU

Here is a good vid comparing signals and digs.

That's too awesome!  First target i had with the 800 was a masked Nickle with two nails and think i was in love.

I think there are a few limited charts for the 900 here somewhere.

5 years from now ML will come out with an FE-CO screen, 3-D display 'OrgasmaCore' and it'll be deja vu all over again...

Better be attached to a power wheelchair🙂

Question about dp tones, can you select any tone numbers (1,2,5, all)  in dp?   I switched from all tones to 5 on the 800 because of too much fluctuation for me.   This would really be an earful in all tones, thanks.

But the kicker is that now Target ID remains "live" while in pinpoint mode.  Effectively that means you can actually search in pinpoint mode and get target ID feedback.  I think that is cool and useful under certain conditions. 

NICE, glad your back in in the game.   The Live pinpoint deal might be a real plus.

Describing detector audio is hard to to do and hard to understand.  Musically inclined people are ahead of the game at this.  My grade school music teacher Juan Anatoo decided the best instrument for me was felt covered blocks.

Great idea!  Enjoyed "going along" with you.  Lots of fiddling around you, thanks. 

I made my own C/F shaft in 2018 and only used the lower coil shaft.  Dont think i used the new replacement (middle and lower only)at all.  But when i bought a Coiltex10x5 i grabbed the new lower and dang thing was too tight for the C/F to fit.  So when i put the nox to bed for the winter i put it on the new shaft and left the old lower in the C/F for storage.  The old middle  is just clutter.

Whoaa!  I thought 3 or so till i scrolled down!  🏆

Did they have to rebox them all after a tweak or what, hope it works out for everyone soon.

There is just something about Minelabs that do not like Iron even in all metal modes. The Sovereign worked like this as well.  With the horseshoe mode on nonferrous will break down at some point on a 360 look of the target.

Thanks, could you clarify or explain this a little?  "With the horseshoe mode on nonferrous will break down at some point on a 360 look of the target."   Non ferrous target falsing as iron but breaks up sometime in a 360 investigation? 

Thanks i didn't know much about them.  Your probably right about the yellow one.  Don't see much but limestone around here but just to the west there are glacial smooth rounded stones in the fields.  This came from that type area but from a 6 foot deep trench thru a creek bed.  The white stone with fossils is really smooth and very hard,  was in better shape but spent a few winters outside.

Return Padre Island treasure or else
Some time ago, a judge in Kingsville ordered State Land Commissioner Sandler to pack up all that Spanish treasure recovered off Padre Island and turn it over to the University  of  Texas  for  restoration and safekeeping.
But the judge, Paul Martineau, learned last week that Sadler still has part of the treasure in his offices. Today, he gave Sadler until tomorrow night to get rid of it. (Editor’s Note: This was originally broadcasted by WBAP-TV/NBC station in Fort Worth on Oct. 20, 1969.)

The light colored stone found on Arsenal island between iowa and illinois. The other in north east iowa from pipeline creek crossing. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Jeff,  Any differences in sensitivity/EMI reaction?  

nickel silver, a range of alloys of copper, nickel, and zinc which are silvery in appearance but contain no silver. Its composition varies from 7 to 30 percent nickel, the alloy most widely used being 18 percent nickel silver (18 percent nickel, 62 percent copper, 20 percent zinc). another name is German silver.  Any makers marks?  Great buckle.

Appreciate the detailed review!  Like sodbuster I'm staying with my 800 till it fails.  By then i wonder if the 600/800 will still be an option.  I'd be looking at the 700/900 because of the shaft and grip angle + the coil options.  Manticore?  In my dreams at this point.  Wish they would have updated the 900 key pad/navigation but no deal breaker. 

GPR, veeerrryy   interesting!🤔  VMR3G “Minehound” – Dual-Sensor Detector.  Dual-sensor search head with metal detector (MD) and ground-penetrating radar (GPR)

On Minelabs site under where to buy it listed several dealers that supposedly had Manticores in stock.

Speculating and complaining isn't going to fix it, it's the same almost every major Minelab release, most people just expected it.

Agree, we are in the Minelab "curb your enthusiasm stage"

No go, minelab shut the door on aftermarket for now.

George do you think these were used by most Zouave organizations in the civil war.   I think it's strange that American units picked up on the Zouave fad,  not a wet weather friendly outfit or good in the brambles.
