I just entered this naming contest for both detectors and I feel lucky tonight. I feel sure that will pass as quick as it came. I do believe being this contest will end the last day of the month we may be seeing both detectors sooner than soon. I do believe the price of both detectors will fall under 2 thousand ( That’s dollars) . I’ll go so far that the Relic PI detector will be less than 1200 and the PI gold detector under 1500 . Something that Nokta is good at is having the capability of updates. I do believe we’ll see that here as well. I was right it did.haha Chuck

If Nokta is seriously talking about a PI detector then it’s got to be some testers that could be right here on this forum that we may be rubbing elbows with. I think Nokta would be better off to name the two detectors themselves and get them out to the customer sooner than soon. Chuck

This has gone past a storm. It’s going to be a category 5 Hurricane before it’s over. Chuck

Garrett is saying hey guys where did we put that schematic for the TDI SL and asking at the same time do you think we can improve on it. It’s been done before and I’m sure it can made even better.We’ll call it the TDI 2 gold detector. Chuck

If it’s going to take a year to name it and another year are more for it to hit the market then you just as well call it a day late and a dollar short . That’s what it’s going to be if it takes them as long as it did with the Legend. You got two other companies if they wanted could have something at a lower price than what they have to offer now. Sometimes profit comes in volume of sales of items. That’s when you remold and repaint then sell it under a different name. We shall see. Chuck

If I didn’t know better I’d think Ron is rubbing these other detector companies nose in it . Don’t look now but some may fire another volley back. Like said it’s just great for us the customer. Chuck

Gerry I’ve been known to over look things but how long is this sale going to last? Chuck

If you love paying sales tax then go order from some we have talked about in the past that know nothing about what they selling to you. We have Minelab dealers on here that been selling Minelab detectors for years and make a point like Gerry to know what he’s selling. Heck you don’t have to believe me because the proof is in the pictures that’s Gerry’s posted again and again. What Gerry just posted on the sale price of both detectors is a great thing for us the customer. I thank you Minelab. Chuck PS Vets don’t forget your 15% discount. That’s 15% off that sale price. You ask for it like I told my kids the most I can say is no . Minelab isn’t going to .

Luis You’re probably right on what you posted and it’s good for those who wanted that big coil plus needed a pinpointer. Now if Minelab would have ask me what I thought I’d been more for reduced price for the customer. That in my opinion would have given more that could afford both detectors and let those who have need for that larger coil are pinpointer could buy it. I guess tomorrow will tell the whole story and like Paul Harvey would say The Rest Of The Story. Chuck

If you feel the earth trembling underneath your feet they say it’s coming from a place called Australia. It’s said it’s coming from this young company that has their 35 year anniversary coming up called Minelab. A fair amount of us has dealings with this company in the past and we know we have to admit they’ve had some good shaker sales already but they promised this one will be the biggest ever. Gerry put us on to this sale a couple of days back and posted it had to do with the Manticore and the Equinox 900 but I guess he couldn’t tell us more maybe because Minelab had his lips sewed shut. I didn’t think anything was strong enough are big enough to plug that up . Did you? All I can say people tomorrow is the day we’ve all been waiting for 18th of April. To me at 35 years that’s a young company being come May I’ll be 83 . Heck they still got baby fat at that age. Minelab you’ve gave me some great times out there swinging them things you call metal detectors. I can’t say you’ve made me rich but wait it’s not over yet. Like always the best to you Minelab. Chuck

Just think in two more days it will be April 18th and we’ll all know what Minelab has to offer us. If we going to wish I say wish big . I always liked it when I see a sign saying buy one and get one free. I said wish big well I just may hunt big and bring my XP Extreme Hunter. If I find a nugget with it let’s see if Gerry can get it in his mouth.haha At first I just wanted to bring it back up to the top but I just can’t help myself without a little bull. Chuck

Gerry you done let the cat out of the bag so why not go ahead and spill the beans 🫘. You just don’t know how many people would want to make that hunt at Rye Patch with you. They need to know upfront what their total cost is going to be . It was this girl in high school and I hate to say it but you remind me of her she being a tease. Chuck

People where is it said you have got to do anything with them. It’s just a pleasure of having something that maybe no one else has. I’m hoping after this storm is over I do hope all is pleased with what we got out the door of Garrett and not be just gas on our stomachs . Chuck

JCR is right In you take them as they are are leave them where you found them. I’ve hunted with some odd balls and they may be thinking the same thing about me. If someone is putting me on some good hunting ground I have the power to forgive a lot and forgive even more if it really a great spot. Chuck

Strick When I started detecting I didn’t buy another detector until it paid for it’s self and the next one . Now we have to have one for coins jewelry relic and a special one for the beach . Then we have others we got to have that will detect just maybe 1/2” more than the others I got. Now we got pinpointers we never had before but we finding out one is a little better than another so we got to have it. I must say I’ve gone down the same road buying more than I’ll ever need and use. I went from a BFO to a TR and then a Eagle 2 . I knew each one so well I could almost tell you the date on that coin before I dug it up. That’s almost. I traded the BFO but the TR and the Eagle 🦅 is still going strong today. I started out with Whites and never had another until after I had the Eagle over 10 years. Chuck

I’m crossed between a Mississippian plus a Texan and I didn’t have any trouble understanding him. I just didn’t know what the Sam Hill he was talking about. Try listening to what he’s saying again and while doing so pat yourself on the head at the same time your butt . While doing this don’t switch hands. I can assure you this won’t help you understand him anymore but it will tell you what end is up and you won’t get turned around again. Chuck PS I just downloaded it for my Extreme Hunter and I hope it’s not a problem for it .

If you have a bunch of feeders coming into that river you can be knee deep in water before you can get your equipment out. It will always come up faster than it will go down. I had a friend that lost his wife and two grandkids because of a river coming up on them before they could get out. They were sleeping in a cabin and it rained hard above them. Chuck

Tarsacci calls that big coil the Beast

If anyone one has a interest in the Gold Monster 1000 and wants to get a head start on all you need to know before getting in the field then do a search for Bill Southern’s videos on it. He does a outstanding job on all his videos. Chuck

No I didn’t but in my opinion for what the gold monster is at its best is with the 5” coil. I just don’t see the need to spend the extra money for another coil if not going to be used . That 200 that I saved will get me and my puddle jumper all the way to nugget hunting land and back. I told my wife she may have to eat mayonnaise sandwiches for a while that’s if I was going to get another detector. Out of respect of everyone on the forum I won’t repeat what she said. The above statement in its self is a joke because the only thing she’s said was if you got the money buy it. I just make it a point not to say what it cost me . Motto to live by is don’t disturb a sleeping dog and that goes for your wife as well. Chuck

If Minelab didn’t move enough of the GPZ’s last month bye giving away a Gold Monster 1000 with it then just flip the two for May’s sale. That way they’d move out all those old Battle Ships and have room for a newer lighter GPZ . I would like to see a reduced price on the GM 1000 . I had one when they first came out but like everything else I sold it. Storytelling time. I’ll try not to put you asleep. I’ve always told my kids it didn’t hurt to ask for something because the most I can say is no . One time I emailed Minelab and ask them for something but I’m not going to say what I was asking for. Like I told my kids but in this case I was asking Minelab. I guess it was about two weeks since I sent them the email and Rob call’s me saying Minelab said do it. I always thank Minelab for giving our vets that 15% discount and over the years I’ve taken advantage it more than I’d want my wife to know. To You Minelab live long and may you always have a cool breeze on your face with the Sun to your back . Chuck

Yes you’re right it was the SPP that I couldn’t think of. Chuck

John You may not got a promotion but due to the price of gold your hourly wage has gone up.and platinum is not bad at about 940.00 . You may not want to fool with that cheap stuff like platinum so I’ll email you my address and to show you what a great guy I am I’ll pay shipping..haha You be safe out there going it alone. Having you coming on here with your show and tell is like being there. I thank you for your time doing so . Chuck

Roger When Whites came out with the TDI I had one of the first that came out their door . Later they made one you couldn’t adjust the pulse on it. It was fixed and at the same time the coil that was sold with it was not a dual field but looked the same. It had the coil wiring in the outside like what like you have. I don’t have that detector anymore because I loaned it to a friend and haven’t seen friend are detector again. Chuck

Roger it’s just no more than a small coil working in harmony with the big outside coil, Just more sensitive to small targets than the outside coil That’s where they came up with the wording Dual Field coil. Chuck
