GB a must for relic hunting in bad ground. -

They once said the "The Easter Bunny" would be here on Christmas. I cried. The end. -
Make this # 30 in my private arsenal. Like the IMC I'm able to generate new arms to swing them. May change my fake name to Octitex.👽

Is It Time For Minelab To Make A New Beach Pi?
George Kinsey replied to mn90403's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
Never a doubt with the Sovereign. And yes I was, and still am not a big fan of the Nox. Hope your well. -

I've dug more gold rings at the ocean beaches with my Minelab Sovereign Elite. You won't dig rusty bottle caps because it makes a special sound unlike the Equinox. -
Garrett Apex Superfly Air Test
George Kinsey replied to George Kinsey's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
The detectors balance is great. Feels very lite to me. When the ice melts I will get out and test the numbers and stability in my iron enriched Virginia red clay. -
Garrett Apex Superfly Air Test
George Kinsey replied to George Kinsey's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
Yes. But I was not asked to compare detectors. I never do. Thanks -
I know. But with three inches of ice on the ground and a request so be it. Zero mode at max depth. I'm now the "Big Pimp" of the Relic Fields. Oh my!

Apex Recovery Speed / Iron Separation

No controversey . We all know what we know. -
Apex Recovery Speed / Iron Separation
George Kinsey replied to Jeff McClendon's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
I did not buy an Apex to use in Culpeper. I used the Equinox long enough to know it had limited abilities in Basalt and Diode rock. If I ever go up that way I use a GB Pi. I used it mostly on colonial iron sites. I'm not interested in digging low conductive metal to find something good with a similarTID number. Ponderous. I have sonic hearing. Good luck with your selection. Maybe we passed each other one day in the field. -
Apex Recovery Speed / Iron Separation
George Kinsey replied to Jeff McClendon's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
Yes. I too did this search many years ago. The band can be narrow in places wide in others. I'm in "The Red Diabase Zone" most of the time. The"Basalt Zone" is no fun either. Five bar dirt. Great job Joe. -
Apex Recovery Speed / Iron Separation
George Kinsey replied to Jeff McClendon's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
My soil in places is some of the worst . I live south of Culpeper Va. Both Multi and VLF have limited depth capability. I tested both the 600 and 800 in a more milder ground. I did not care to have to dig small non-ferrous which your kinda of forced to. I use a Tarsacci now. It will not be for most detectorist's. A keene ear is needed to understand the sounds. Having the ability to not only do a standard ground balance and then to be able to balance the salinity in the soil is a big factor for me hunting pastures with livestock whose urine will cause issues. You must also understand the balance between the threshold and sensitivity adjustment. Like a signal balance control on an early Whites or on the Fisher Coinstrike. It's still a work in progress and it's true potential is still unknown. I would not recomend any detector. But if your the curios type, and don't mind the cost, it's fun to use. -
Apex Recovery Speed / Iron Separation
George Kinsey replied to Jeff McClendon's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
It has limited depth performance in my ground. My GB came in at 90. Pure ferrite GB at 95. All detectors work here. Some better than others. The FBS, BBS, suffer the most. The Vanquish falsed and responded to the bedrock with good Visual numbers. The bedrock is very magnetic iron based. If you place a non-ferrous object on some rock it turns your signal to ferrous.This is why a ground balanced PI works. With this one I will hunt the milder soil. -
Apex Recovery Speed / Iron Separation
George Kinsey replied to Jeff McClendon's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
I had no issue testing the recovery speed. Hunting in the relic program with a minnie next to a large square nail I found it interesting when I turned down the iron audio to zero I would get a good one way tone . Good target next to iron. Since I already know MF does not work in my evil red dirt it will be fun to see what the single frequencies do. -
Missing the flap that covers the outside battery recharge port. I was at my dealer when it arrived. Looks to have been opened by someone prior to shipping. You can also see where it was torn off. He has four more coming so I will let you know if they also shared my fate.
