    Calabash Borrows A Ml Manticore Then Gets Into The Iron Without A Magnet.. Help Needed

    in Minelab Manticore Forum

    Posted

     

    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. 🙂

    Anyone Using The Nemo Blu3 Portable Dive System?

    in Minelab Equinox Forum

    Posted

    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...

    New To Detecting, Question About 1 And 2 On Vdi

    Wait, it didn't pick up the chain at all? Even going over it? Was iron bias the reason? Or was there another reason as to why the 800 didnt pick it up?

    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.

    Big 4 Compared

    in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons

    Posted

    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..

    GPX 6000 Speaker Audio Feedback Fix - My Experience

    in Detector Prospector Forum

    Posted

    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...

    unfortunately they are already gearing up for more renourishment sand so I hear.  It is the new norm.  This just gives us a very small window to get the goodies.  

    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?

    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.

    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?
