    Tom D. commented on his forum, its a 9 inch prototype and wasn't supposed to be on your list.

    "Hmmmmmmmmmmm. That info was NOT supposed to leak out.
    Yes. There are a few proto's floating around. Here's one tidbit I'm willing to share: --- As to be expected; the 9" coil is not as deep as the standard 11" coil......with identical settings. BUT.......(for instance)........ in a wet-salt environment.........the performance is less than the 11" coil with same settings; YET, the smaller coil allows for additional Sens increase.......due to the smaller coil seeing less wet-salt feedback/hinderance. With the authorized extra Sensitivity increase......... nearly all of the depth is regained.....and nearly to the same performance levels of the 11" coil.
    The 9" coil is formidably lighter.
    We are still debating the "need" for this coil. We are still debating the "marketing" of this coil........and the associated projected sales numbers. Not sure we'll even produce it."

    And you guys get paid to do this? I love how you throw more fuel on the fire by mentioning how the coil that we probably will never see will work for us lol... How about just work on getting the coils out that were promised at the release of the M-Core and cut the BS...been going on almost a year now...slow pokes

    Nice ring...I might even wear something like that. That mormon ring I found one just like it on my first hunt with the Nox several years ago but it was gold not silver...Been out a couple times water hunting got a couple silver rings...no gold so far...thanks for sharing.

    Hey Strick, I myself spent 12 years in NakNek / King Salmon area, I know that dump well, Haha !! Operation Manager / Refrigeration Tech for the 2 big shipping companies out of Bristol Bay..  I am a Silver Salmon Derby Winner out of Eddies Fireplace Inn in King Salmon, A lot of Great memories and Experiences from there. What Cannery did you guy's deliver to ? Also crab fish & tendered Herring and Salmon on the Crabber FV Seabrook, Much Younger Then LOL !!!! 

    We worked for Trident Seafoods it was called something else before that.... I was there then as well...were talking 19-20 years old at the time when I first started..and I'm 60 now lol...we just fished the Sockeye Run then got the hell out of there and kissed the tarmac when we got off the plane back home...rarely had time for anything as we were always on the water.. 32 foot gill net boat... first one was wood...leaked like a pasta strainer but swelled right up in a few days and then slowed down...we had a few strikes over the years  and thats when we got to goof off and go sport fishing...I made a fishing pole out of an old fiberglass boat antenna one year and caught 32 pound King with it!  I never crabbed up there but the stories they told us made it seem like we were fishing in a pond there in Bristol Bay. 

    Small world Dig it bringing back more memories thanks.

    Nine summers commercial fishing out of Naknek and never made it to Brooks falls...some of the guys did after the season when it's crazy with bears there...there is a dump about half way between Naknek and King Salmon I was driving an old dodge charger back after picking up supplies 11pm one evening (still daylight) when a big  brown bear runs out in front of me had to stand on the breaks and it was looking over his shoulder as it was running in front of me snarling lol...it was the first brown bear I'd seen...If you have never seen a brown bear foot print fresh in the sand when out in the bush it will give you a whole new out look on fly fishing alone 🙂

    Down To Three Detectors

    in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons

    Posted

    Steve you sure have a way with words. I would have a hard time getting rid of that clean sweep coil as well. The only reason i'm still keeping my TDI Pro is because of the clean sweep coil (18x5.5  dual field) I bought from a forum member here...love using it on the beach when I get in a dig it all mood. My main squeeze at the moment are the Manticore, 6000, Nox 800 with 10x5 coil Excalibur (prolonged deep water hunting) Deus 2 (trashy relic sites) Although I find myself using mostly the Nox with the 6" or 10x5 in high trash over the deus at times...I do love the ergonomics of the Deus which is why I'll be keeping it but I just love the way the 800 and M-Core talk to me...The 7000 has been sitting but I may take it out of retirement the next trip...thanks for the fun read. oh yea almost forgot still have the CTX cant seem to part ways with that technology...

    M8 & M15 Coils Price And Availability?

    in Minelab Manticore Forum

    Posted

    This is what happened with the Nox...It was so long ago I forgot how long they took to release the accessory coils...I guess in the scheme of things these are 1st world problems...I've expressed my feelings about it as well but now I'll just chill out. I actually did ok last weekend with the 11 inch coil in a really trashy spot just taking my time steady as she goes... weeding stuff out amongst the trash...it is what it is as they say 🙂

    Hot Wheels 4, Happy Ending

    Yo 350 thanks for the nice views...good to see you out there plugging away...those dollar coins for some reason I think are more common here on the left coast...I dont know why that is but we do seem to find them occasionally esp in parks...The toy cars sure sound off dont they? I used to keep them when one of my buddies suggested that I start a collection...but that got to be too much...i have a couple old ones found in old hotel sites made in England I believe? If you got room for them then I would start a "Hot Wheel Museum" put them in a glass case of sorts...it would make a good conversation starter when you have guests over 🙂 Love your posts keep em coming

    Any Tips For Rusty Bottle Cap Rejection

    in Minelab Manticore Forum

    Posted

    There are some caps that will appear out side of the normal disk mode on the M-Core but they are easily identified by their location on the screen...you can adjust your disk to block them out as most are well below the middle line...Some caps that have aluminum foil on them will read higher up but still easily identified by their tone and location on the screen...like the guys above I've not had any problems with steel caps the machine is as good as my CTX was for disking them out.
