    Yes, on both, one is black and one is red. Can't find them but did find these for ya:

    Do you remember the ID on the Franklin? Probably 99...

    Thanks for the link I’ll check those out.  I remember seeing 98.  There was iron grunts coming through too.  I was in program 3 with sense at 95 and reactivity anywhere from 1-3.  I don’t recall what I had the reactivity set at when I found it.

    The problem is how to insert it, not because they didn't copy the SPHINX Magnetic correctly, but because of the design of the holster. You can't hit the hole in the holster the first time. This was the case in my youth, but here it is impossible to learn. You lose all the time you saved on shutdown... The devil is in the details :)

    I had the same problem myself with the Pro Max.  The hole in the bottom of the holster has an inner shelf that catches the tip of the pinpointer making one have to fidget with it to drop through and fully seat. I took some epoxy putty and filled that so that the tip of the pinpointer can’t catch on it anymore.  Works great now.

    I am curious about the Nokta Accupoint since we can't get the Russian Sphinx 03. I really haven't missed the ferrous ID since getting the MI-6, but I recently thought of a useful scenario for ferrous/non-ferrous discrimination. So if the Accupoint can meet or exceed the depth of my MI-6 in my soil and discriminate accurately, then I'll probably snag one, unless the MI-7 comes out with ferrous/non-ferrous descrimination. 😏

    But I'll probably wait for @F350Platinum to do his in depth report first! 😉

    First I’ve heard of the Nokta accupoint.  Was it released recently?

  4. I recently bought a quest Xpointer max  and carry it on every hunt, but I mostly end up using my old, reliable whites TRX.  It’s (the TRX), much more sensitive to small foil than the Xpointer and deeper too.  This with the Xpointer on boost.  When I first got the Xpointer I would pull it out first and sometimes it wouldn’t pick up anything.  Then I’d pull out the TRX and I’d get a hit. After this happening a few times I noticed a pattern; either the target was small foil or it was deeper and the Xpointer couldn’t hit it.  I still carry it every hunt and use it occasionally but the TRX gets turned on first the majority of the time.  I do like the much better volume on the Xpointer and it’s adjustability and its discrimination feature.  Speaking of that disc feature; it sometimes calls small aluminum ferrous, but it’s never called a coin ferrous.  I’m probably going to get an MI6 so I can hear it through the deus headphones.

    Thank for your settings, NCt! That's similar to the Silver Slayer program that I use for parks, but I haven't used the sensitive programs much and have been experimenting more with them lately. I'll give your program a try, thanks again!

    You’re welcome CPT!   I hope it works well for you.  Don’t be afraid to change up those notch settings to your personal preferences.  Let us know how it works for you.

  6. Here’s a program I set up for hunting schools, sports fields and parks for shallower coins and rings.  This is for quick paced hunting.  
     

    This program is based off of the sensitive program but could be based off others too, to suit your needs.  For example it could be based off the general (1) program if your soil is really damp or wet.  
     

    Tones-pitch

    disc-7

    Notch-(7-40), (70-82).  I’ve played around with different notch parameters and I like this setup, but use your personal prefences for what you intend to hunt.  

    Silencer-5 (You could max this out at 7, but I haven’t noticed much if any falsing at 5)

    Bottlecaps-5

    sensitivity-95

    Frequency MAX-40khz

    Iron Volume-0

    Reactivity-3

    Audio Response-1

    Audio Type-PWM

    This program runs extremely quietly, but still hits targets hard.  Like I said above, you can modify your notches to the site.   If there’s lots of foil, raise the lower value of the first notch up into the 50s.  Unless you notch out the lower 60s, you’re going to dig a lot of square tabs but also a lot of nickels. I dug 23 nickels today. I also watch the numbers and decide to dig based on how jumpy they are.  This is not a deep program.  This is for clad and rings in trashy areas.

    NCtoad!!! 🥳

    Great job man, that's a lot of digging. 👍 I was averaging about $10 a day at the campground so I feel the ache. Sadly no good rings just junk.

    I just waved the 13" under the benches, if I got a blip I went after it with the MI-6. Much better idea to pull the coil.

    You don't have a lot of "freshies" in that pile 'o' clad so it looks like you're hitting the deeper stuff. 🙂

    Good to see ya back!

    Thanks F350!   Everything under the bleachers is around 1 inch or less.  In the grassy areas around the school buildings I’d say the average depth is 2-5”.
