  1. I like Andys channel its about the only metal detecting channel I watch these days 😉 strick
  2. You should have no trouble telling target size with the M-Core after some use...small items that are deep esp aluminum will sound faint..like mentioned above by Okara I don't spend too much time looking for the micro targets...push it around a few times if it don't reveal itself the hell with it...How many big diamond earrings are actually real? none that I have found.... and what is a small diamond earring really worth...not worth the time for me personally I'd rather spend it looking for gold rings.. strick
  3. Nice work Jeff. As you know I jumped on the M-Core early...I had been waiting for a faster and lighter CTX for a long time. Here in the east bay we have mostly modern parks so I'm looking for gold and silver jewelry only. This post made go back and look at the early threds I started... "a stroll in the park" and 'M-Core in nails" by my third hunt I realized the machine was deeper then the Nox 800 and said so in one of my posts. It was fun going back and re reading those threds.. the iron falsing thing and all the talk about it... I'm still on the fence about doing the up date as I'm still using the machine as it came out of the box and doing well with it.. I have one fresh water trashy black sand beach on the delta where it gives me fits... seems that it doesn't matter which program I try...the deus 2 is actually easier to use there. I will probably try the up date soon just so I can see if it will work on that particular spot now that I have the small coil. The equinox actually worked great there but you dug a lot of bottle caps. The dealer I got the m8 coil from said he thought the up date was a good thing... In my opinion machine is a park hunters and salt water beach hunters dream..once you learn how to use it. strick
  4. Yes Goldseeker is a member here and posts often...he has a thred right below this one at the moment strick
  5. What is it about 1964 nickels ? They must have made a lot of them...I have found so many of those....I was saving them but now I just throw them in the clad bucket... strick
  6. https://bid.mullocksauctions.co.uk/auctions/8860/srmu10178 lets see what it fetches strick
  7. Thanks for the tip GB I used to do something similar with my old Deus 1 to check targets and it worked very well I'll give it a try.. strick
  8. I knew what you meant Mitchell But for a second I thought maybe you had acquired a M-Core... been on a couple more quick hunts...a few silver jewelry items but no gold yet...still struggling to get out...I need to change that.. strick
  9. Minelab makes a 6" round for the CTX and Coiltek makes a 5x10... I have both... so not sure what you are getting at with the comment on the CTX but I do agree it would be nice to have a 6" round for the M-Core as well.. strick
  10. I sent my first 11 round back to them and they replaced it but said that they could not find anything wrong with it...then a few months later came the admission of the speaker interference which most likely was the whole problem after all...back to minelab the machine went...since that fix its a dream machine to run the only problem is I've not picked up the ZED since... strick
  11. Thanks.... looking at your graph it seems that most of the targets you tested were were in the low to mid range... curious about what type of targets you were testing to create the graph? strick
  12. I drive it slow and steady...rarely over 22 sens but thats me in my areas...really depends on the ground conditions, emi in the area etc... strick
  13. yep people will just use the coil that works best...then the warranty will run out 🙂 nice way to treat your clients Minelab...I'm unlikely ever to use the 3 minelab coils I have for the 6k and was thinking that I should clean out the closet the other day..lol strick
  14. Thanks for the graph..I used to think the numbers were just doubled for the M-Core say a 15 on the 800 would be a 30 on the m-core but looks like the split starts to happen at around 20 and 10 lines for both machines...I wonder if this divergence was intentional (by the engineers) or is this just the way the physics works out? strick
  15. Good stuff as usual 350...that buckle is amazing and would have made my day.....whats with the roman soldiers helmet on the dues 2 ? strick
  16. Yep nothing wrong with that...but doesn't hurt to have more features does it? and what if you are a deaf person? strick
  17. Nice work 350..If I used my Deus 2 more often I would get the 13" coil and rig it up with a strait shaft...Yours looks about perfect... A wise man once said "Never Waste A Good Zip Tie" 🙂 strick
  18. I used to go duck hunting before school and show up to school with the ducks and my shotgun in the back of the truck...my wood shop teacher would come out to take a look lol... not any more... that company has a place in the central valley where they assemble stuff I guess which is our friend works.. strick
  19. Do a google earth historical imagery search on it and see what the area was...I did a post on here a few years ago where I discovered an old ball field that a modern park was built over..I was hunting the park and started finding some old stuff...got intact old pocket watch and a silver dollar from the 1920's ...Nice work Dave! looks like the small coil is working great for you. strick
  20. funny you brought this up..a friend of ours just got a job at this place. They make giant batteries that can help run a factory out of carbon blocks..not sure how it all works...or how efficient it is as I have not looked into it. they use solar energy to charge the carbon blocks https://antoraenergy.com/technology strick
  21. Nice shooting Jeff...love the play by play...old parks over here are few and far between...most have been built over...I can think of one park that I can hunt close by...lots of over burden from eucalyptus trees which would be a minor deterrence..the risk of getting mugged slightly probable...but you have inspired me to give it a try as I have not hunted there in some time...thanks for posting as I pay close attention to your endeavors.. strick
  22. Not sure what you are struggling with but nice work on recovering those rings... strick
  23. NIce haul...goes to show that the CTX is a great all around machine.. strick
  24. Had the person or persons who designed the Profinds been avid detectorists it might have been a good pinpointer...Mine is still sitting in a box of extra junk I never use...one should not have to look at the pinpointer to turn it on...in doing so you take your eyes off the target zone and loose the target. Kinda like if your gonna pull a pistol out of your holster you don't have time to look for where the trigger is on the hand gun before you shoot...this is simple stuff that I cant believe gets by the engineers... strick
