May the Force be with you Steve. Chuck

One policy I've had and that is return all rings if can. Now that's if it comes with tracking like high school and college rings. You may not get as much as a thank you but you know you done the right thing.For the ones that do say thanks will make you all warm inside. The Best Chuck

Hi Cabin Fever I just wrote a story about a detector on the MX posting. The place this all happen I have found over that seventy gold, silver and junk rings Then I could walk and hunt this place without trouble but now they have a fence around it. This place is in a park and now they have stop all detecting. I never seen another detecting and I never left a hole uncovered. Who knows what's the thinking of the powers that be but that's way life is. Let the next gold ring come soon for you. They're out there you've got to spend the time looking. Chuck

I do believe that White's wants us treasure hunters to be a part of the new MX Sport waterproof detector. My reasoning behind this has been all the video's to show the progress of the MX coming to life. I don't know if they first plan all this exposure but I like it. With all I've seen so far I've got the hots to have one.Ha Of course I'm a lover of White's detector for over 45 years with my first BFO detector. This waterproof more so coin detector makes me going back in the past when I needed it. One of my sick rememberable times when I saw my White's 66 TR going under water. This was all seen as I fell and my detector goes flying followed by bubbles as it went under. Well as fast as I could put myself together I went diving for my not so waterproof detector. When it came above the water line I was one sick puppy to see all that water coming from it. The first thing I disconnected the batteries and then the coil with the shaft. I headed to my car and started it with the heater on hot and coming out at the floor of the car. With the battery door open and the hot air going I could only hope this would save it. Now I want you to know this is not a fairy tale but it did have a happy ending. Yes after a short time I got my detector put back together with the same batteries and I was back detecting. You may be wondering if I ever had trouble because of the fell swimming lesson I gave my detector. Well no and never did. Chuck

It sounds so good to hear about White's new MX Sport and all the other detectors we'll see in 2016. I've had my eagle 2 from way back in 1991 and it has something I'd like to see on the new detectors of today. You had two spots on the face of it you could push to reject or accept. Pick what you wanted and wave the coil over the item them the deed was done. You didn't have to go into a program to make a change. I guess I'm one that wouldn't be happy if you hung me with a new rope. When White's said waterproof that was something I needed some years ago. I too need to move some toys to make room for the MX Sport. Chuck

Here is the MSRP of each Garrett Ace Ace 200-200i-199.95 Ace 300-300i 299.95 Ace 400-400i 399.95 At one time not everybody could afford to get into metal detecting.. Now every kid on the block can get enough money out of his piggy bank to pay for a detector. Chuck

Hi Tom From the time i had my first White's ID detector you can take a hand full of gold rings and they all will fall into the trash area. Anything that hits in the high and low range of ID 20 you need to dig it. Before we had ID I found more rings than I ever did with the one that did. I think in away having a detector with ID has made us lazy to some degree. Just maybe a detector with more tone ID's can give us all of what you want. I need to move up to something other than my eagle 2 but it's been my best friend for a long time. I know if I'm calling a detector friend I do need to get a life. Well it's never been in for repairs and never let me down in the field. The Best Chuck

i don't care what game you play ( model detector ) or what door you pick it's all good for 2016. The latest video on a new detector does more for me than the picture of that model above. For the people that like swinging a detector in 2016 then this is the year for you. The best thing you can do is sit back and enjoy the ride. Chuck

Ringmoney that's what I was thinking when I was reading it .It's been sometime back that I've looked at the Ace line of detectors. I just repeated what's said. I stand corrected and thanks for it. Chuck PS With the DOW down like it is I may say anything right now. it's not HaHa.

On md-hunter its says that Garrett has added a ( i ) after each number. At first look without firing it up you can't see the difference. It's all in the new software in more ways than one If you want to learn more I'll let you go look for yourself. The only dealings I've had with Garrett Ace was when I got the 200 for my Grandson. I was surprise to see what the Ace 200 had to offer for the money. More new for 2016. Chuck

I just talk with one of the dealer they show here in San Antonio Tx..He did have one of the ones that first came out but it was under powered. It was better on the road than off. He said he thinks the newer models may have more power with two motors but less run time. I was told to check back with him in June and just maybe he'll have one then. Chuck Anders

I had a dog some years back just like that. I had named him Dollar.There was times he was worth a million and the next time he got down to fifty cents. The trouble is you don't know it's true worth until it's gone. You take the good and the bad and it will add up to the enjoyment of life. Money can't buy this even if your dog is named Dollar. Chuck Anders

I think most on here knew about the trouble I was having with my new Nokta Fors Gold Plus detector. The first thing Nokta done was send me a new handle being I didn't have numbers displaying on it. They paid shipping both ways but that didn't fix it Remember this company is over six thousand away. This Monday Nokta sent me a new handle and control box all the way from Turkey and I got it today. Well I'm seeing numbers on the handle I'd never seen before. Here again Nokta paid shipping to me and the same going back. If for any reason you're not sure about putting your hard earn money down on a detector. Well this company called Nokta and people like Dilek has been there all the way for me. I say put your worries aside because this company makes a quality product. You've heard companies say they stand behind their detector. Well Nokta stood behind it and right up front willing whatever it took to make a customer happy. I've said this in another post and that this is the first company to pay all shipping. I could have gone around the world for all the shipping Nokta has paid out for. With me sending back the defective control box Nokta can find the problem. making sure it don't happen again too others.. Thank You Dilek and Nokta Chuck Anders.

Well everyone I'll get a new detector by the end of next week. Nokta has paid the shipping both ways and will do the same on this one too In all my years of detecting never has a company paid to ship both ways. Right now I'm looking forward to the Impact coming out. Thanks Dilek. Chuck Anders.

Steve Kiesel Oh I haven't given up yet. I guess I'm in here for the long ride .I just want to take it to a fix and that's all. Chuck

To all who have Nokta Gold or Core I want to hear from you. My question is there a setting on the control box that would stop a number display on the LCD on the handle? My thinking is that all ID numbers that shows up on the control box screen should show up the same on the LCD handle. Reading the manual I can't find what I may be doing wrong. If you can think of anything I'm all ears. Thanks Chuck

I got the new handle from Nokta today and it's not a fix.In other post I've said the trouble may be coming from the control box. Why I was thinking this was because you had LED's in the handle that lite up. This tells me you got battery and ground to the handle. You have to have some type of sending unit in the control box that just wasn't doing it's job. When they said send the handle back I said okay Nokta made it and they should know more about electronics than I do. I must say I've made bad calls so I can't kick Nokta for this one. The bad thing is this detector is a long ways from home and I don't wish to send it to Kellyco. Chuck Anders

Nokta I went ahead and got the defective part off today. I've email you the tracking # with DHL This is my first that a company paid shipping both ways. Thanks for the service Chuck Anders.

It's been said the proof is in the pudding. What you show Steve on the chart we'll get more bang for our buck with Racer Gold. I just wonder if other detector companies are taking notice of what's being shown. The cheaper detectors in my opinion have no place for us that been at it for a long time. Even I must say I've got the Go Find 60 but that's because the kid in me pop out. I look so cool out with it and then unfold it. What that does for me is beyond words.Ha Chuck

I just don't think my wife is going to buy that this detector company is shipping them free to me.Oh well it don't hurt to try. No I'm waiting on the Nokta Impact in hopes it's more a coin detector. Chuck

Nokta I thank you for the great service. i'll have the defective rod headed back when DHL brings my new one. No need to be sorry. Sometimes you think you got it all covered but one will slip by. That's what you call life and we are human. When I get the part I can assure you I'll have the detector working in short order. Hope to reply back it's fixed. Thanks again Chuck

Steve This is the first detector that came in two parts that I've had. The only reason I'd want the whole detector sent to me being it may not be in the handle. Nokta is a long way from the US and if this is not a fix then I've got to wait it out again for the control box. Chris is a great guy and he didn't tell me to go suck a egg. With me if I can get the help like Nokta is offering then I don't need the help from a dealer. I'm not much on second hand info being I'm a big boy and I can do it myself You talk about MFG. selling their own product. That may work for some but as a whole I don't think so.. Too many people want to get their hands on a detector before they buy. Like the Nokta I'm going on the word of others that have one. Yes I put my money down about a month before I got the detector. I not wanting more than what I paid for . Year ago I had a dealership from White's I too didn't let a detector go until it was checked out. The trouble with me I was like a kid in a candy store and didn't want to let it go. Chuck

I sent Nokta my address like they requested Monday. This morning I get a text from DHL saying they have my detector ;part and I'll get it on Friday. I've never had a detector that came in two parts. This is the thing that makes me uneasy but I got to put my faith in Nokta. I'm sure they have been down the same road before. I need to send the handle I have to them but going to check that comes with my new handle. The address that's came with the detector is longer than my arm. I just don't want it to get lost in space and never come down to earth in the right place I can't be spending my time thinking about that anymore. The Nokta Impact will be out in 2016 and I need to spend my time thinking about it. Nokta I f you will send me a good address I'll get the handle off to you this week. I thank you for the quick service. chuck Anders

californiagld It's May the force of the Fors Gold Plus be with you.HaHa I can't say I've never had to send a detector back but never new out of the box. About this detector I'd just like to been told to send it back to the dealer and sent another one. I don't care what the problem is I just a working detector. I don't care to be in the loop of finding their trouble. My money wasn't defective.when I sent it to the dealer. Chuck Anders

californiagold I'm sure I'll be happy with the detector when it's fixed. I don't think I've heard you say a bad word about Nokta detectors. Don't get me wrong I was not happy with a detector new out of the box with trouble. It's a first for me of the 45 years I've been swinging one. So I guess you could say I was due one.Ha I've always got a backup. Like a 4500 , SPP ,GMZ and did have a Gold Big Pro. I sold the Pro to buy this one. Oh forgot about the Infinium LS and the SDC 2300 but sold it. I collect detectors like a friend collects guns. If you ever need a two box detector I have a Fisher too. If I sold all my detectors the walls of my house would fall in. Chuck Anders
