I like oId Calabash and I've given him my opinions on his youtube channel...and I really appreciate anyone that takes all that time to make these videos (helps me to doze in the middle of the night) But if your gonna make a video and go public with it then I reserve the right to comment on the video as I please when I please. I try to abide by the rules on this forum and sometimes may push the boundaries...but on youtube it's open season all year with no bag limit. 🙂 strick

I may give the Blue Nemo another shot this summer...it sure worked nice when it did and it's easy to tote around for shallow water hunting...I was really disappointed that it broke so quickly...there is another gentleman on another site that I have been talking with and he has only had to send his in once for repairs in about 3 years of use...sounds like the company backs their product... strick

Thats exactly what I said 🙂 strick

I enjoyed re-reading the story with lots of little extras added in it makes for good read thanks Mitchel. strick

The detector sees the links on a chain as individuals not as one big piece of gold. Often they are too small to detect Plus gold is a lower conductor which makes it even harder.. When you are digging gold chains you are more often then not hearing the more solid metal clasp rather then the links of the chain...so yea your gonna want to be digging ones and twos if your looking for chains.

I'll be the first to call BS......Target number 6 (2 euro) the guy when using the Manticore on the first swing identifies it as a coin tone then he quickly disks it out and puts it down for mostly iron tone. He gives the legend a check for identifying correctly as a coin and the manticore an X for identifying it as iron WFT? Targets 11, 12 and 14 the piece of iron the horse shoe and big flat plate are easily identified in the screen of the manticore as being iron.. neither hit in the good zone and the targets give complete iron audio grunts...The only one I would have given the manticore a bad mark on was target 13...He is comparing 3 machines that give tone and a VID to another machine that gives tone/vid and target trace yet in the comparison he is only judging by the audio/tones on the machines...not a good study.. strick

Mine's been to that repair shop twice. The first time was a couple months before they released that report in Australia. The repair shop said they could not find anything wrong with the machine but replaced my coil out of precaution anyways. The second time I just shipped in the control box in right after the report came out. I've probably sent in 7-8 detectors to the repair shop. They always do a great job. My best experience with the minelab repair shop was when I sent in my 2300 with only 6 months left on the warranty and they sent me a brand new machine. Still have not had a chance to test my updated 6000 out except in my yard so the jury is still out for me but I'm very happy to here that it has worked well for some of you. Quote from the Minelab report "Minelab has identified infrequent cases where users hear audio feedback when using the internal speaker." My machine was acting crazy with and without the speaker..I like to use my headphones so I'm hopeful that it fixes the emi thing as well... strick

Nice clean up Mitchell...always finish the job. strick

Nice work Compass black onyx with yellow gold is one of my favorites.... never found one yet! strick

Up date my brother says the guy blew his thumb off with it not finger....he still has the cannon....I think it was a little bigger then those in the link 350...thanks for the entertainment 😁 strick

Never realized that Australia is smaller then the US that really surprises me thanks for posting Norvic. Rain....drought...it all evens out... strick

HaHa nobody has mentioned the box yet... so did you get to use it? strick

So when they pump that sand back in what are the odds of them pumping in some old Spanish treasure? There was that guy last year that got some on youtube...I remember reading where someone speculated he was hunting in a re nourished area? strick

My little brother had a small cannon like that but it was mounted on a cart like a civil war cannon would be. It was a cute little thing I'm sure he still has it...I don't know where he got it but the story was someone blew their finger off with it. The big rivet is cool never found one of those. strick

Mitchell keep that gas tank as low as possible. 👍 strick

yep I love the trash as i separates the men from the boys lol...Hoping you get a gold ring out of that new spot... strick

Very ornate silver ring.... nice job PI-Man strick

Nice work 350 I knew once you got your first Rosevelt they would come rolling in after that lol. They do seem to be harder to find then other silver coins for some reason. I'm with Gary..I gave lots of bottles away because I thought I had no place to put them now I'm keeping what I find and wish I had the ones i gave away to one of my clients who's wife collects them. strick

Ground Balance: It just seems to take forever to do manual ground balance and then I give up and stop...not going to sit there forever pumping the coil....people watching may think I have some serious issues. Whats up with that? MInelab seems to have it down to a science takes a few seconds and done with it. How can you trust a machine if you are unsure if it's ground balanced correctly? strick

No way I'd pay that for a thin piece of plastic...Lately I have been trying "Buck Naked" at the beach in the soft sand as I'm annoyed of having to take off the coil cover and empty it out...this may not be appropriate for everyone. strick

Thats lot I need to learn some self control... strick

Nice first report. That upper limit is easy enough to adjust. I had it to 11 at one spot helped quite a bit still found lots of good targets and stopped the excessive falsing I was getting at that particular spot. Looking forward to more of your insight. strick

Yowzers the rings look like a family tree. strick

The navy button. Love finding those. Strick
