Cleaning Success On An 1838 Large Cent

185 years of being beautiful. That's a lot of patience, but well paid off... -

Excellent choice to go ahead and dig it up. Even if it was another of those square tabs, at least you wouldn't have to deal with it again next time. Have you given any thought to try to find the owner, or heirs? I bet someone would be mighty excited to see that after all those years...

Start with Park 1, and leave the settings alone until you understand the detector better, and what it's telling you. Lower the sensitivity to around 18 to settle the machine down a little, and listen for solid targets that don't sound "scratchy", or "clipped". Dig a lot of targets. You will dig trash, but you will also learn what the trash sounds like. Keep your coil close to the ground, and don't lift it at the end of the sweep. Keep it "flat". Overlap your sweeps by about half the length of the coil. When you get a target you want to investigate further, circle around it and listen to the tone. If it stays pretty much the same, dig it out. If it "breaks up", or only sounds off from a couple of angles, it's most likely junk, or a masked target. Don't worry about masked targets when starting out. You need to learn the good sounding targets. Once you get more experience, then start investigating more of the "iffy" signals. Keep your coil moving at a constant speed, but not too fast. Around 2 - 3 seconds for a complete sweep left to right, or right to left, should be about right. Did I mention to not "lift" the coil at the ends of the sweep? Hope this helps. You've chosen a great detector that will find you many great things, but you have to learn it's language first. I only wish I would have had such a capable instrument when I started in 1972. Good luck, and keep at it. It will come... One more thing. Make sure you fill your holes, take the trash with you, try to leave the site looking like you were never there...

Hey Tony, I know you meant the V8X and the V10X, and not 7x. I can't wait ether. Sure hope they do happen soon...

Hey Mark, unfortunately, I haven't seen the V8X, or the V10X, coils listed anywhere. Very disappointing...

Legend Or Xterra Pro

Same here. A deal that can't be beat... -
I don't care what they call the wireless module as long as they offer one. They did offer multiple coils on the Vanquish 540 Pro Pack with the V8 and the V12. Having used Minelab for over 30 years, I know they probably wouldn't offer what I want, but I'm sure a lot of people, like myself, are holding off buying the Xterra Pro because of the lack of coil, or headphone, selection. I think we're still allowed to hope, can't we?
-
I would love to see Minelab come out with a 3 coil "Pro Pack" for the Xterra Pro. The V8X, V10X and the V12X, along with a module similar to the WM 08 from the Equinox 800, so we can run any LL wireless, or wired, headphones of our choice. That is all...

Forum Rules, Help, Tips, Contact Info
TexHunter replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
Don't know if this is the right place to ask, but how about a Minelab Xterra Pro forum along with, or in place of, the Excalibur forum? There hasn't been a post there since April. -
Definitely couldn't use it in my parks and school yards. I wonder how many of those they will sell compared to a 9.5" x 5" elliptical coil?

If so, I wouldn't guess there would be a large percentage of Deus II owners that would be interested...

I'm thinking of doing the same...

Parks Are A Different Beast Than Beaches
TexHunter replied to Sirius's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Yes, I believe that is correct. I don't have the 340, or 440, to verify, but I don't know why they would be different... Here's a table of some common U.S. targets that should come up the same on all 3 of the Vanquish models, and the 600/800...
