What, No way! That is just too easy. And thank you for sharing that. I'll order a battery now. Much appreciated.

I'm having trouble locating the battery I need on Amazon. It seems everything I'm finding has the black & red wires are opposite of what I need. Not sure if the opposite polarity on the plug will work? Pictured is the battery that came out of my wm12 and a screenshot of the Amazon battery that fits except for the polarity.

Thanks for this info. My WM12 just died. I'll update my fix when I get the parts.

Air tests are cool, just like air guitars. I've never found a target in the air. But did find a several small nuggets in a blown over tree stump a couple feet off the ground. Maybe that counts as a air test.

Thanks for the info. Going to stop in and see the for Mom on mother's day.

But with big gold!🤣

Klunker is the best detectorist that I know. (Because he is the only detectorist that I know) Anyways, over the years I have become a much more proficient at detecting. Partly because of his misguided teaching. I'm very competitive and always want to beat him for the day on nuggets found. Recently I've been getting close to him and occasionally tie or beat him for the day. Doesn't happen often. But I think Klunker is feeling threatened by my rise in awesome detecting skills. So he has moved on to more serious tactics to keep my nugget count down. He has now trained his dog to come lay down in my dig hole. I now have to carry a bag of sliced salami to get him out. 🤣 Things are getting serious now. I'm strategizing my next counter moves.

Here is my setup on for my 7000. Mode 2- volume about 5 - filter on 2. Hope that helps.

I keep my volume on the lower side with the gpz. On the filters on the SP01 I think is a preference to your ears. I turn the volume up on it just below where you hear any hiss.

Anyone have any reports on the 17x13 NF on the 7000? I'd like to hear some feedback on any depth with it. Anyone? Bueller.... Bueller...

Thanks Coiltek for the 9 inch round Goldhawk. I will put it to use soon.

What @klunker doesn't know, is that I bring two lunches. One for me and our doggies, and a special lunch for him. He doesn't seem to mind Kale, Tofu and Rice cakes.

Val, if it was a DD coil I would give him a D. But since it is a Mono, it's all mine.

I won a Coiltek Goldhawk 9 inch round. No handshakes, only Hi 5's when they help me sniff out a nugget.

It had been so long, I forgot it was a Joey. I emailed them to correct. Thanks for making me refresh my memories. 🤣

Thought I would enter the Coiltek latest finds contest. Low & behold I won. I owe all of my writing abilities to Klunker. 🤣 https://coiltek.com.au/why-you-should-never-let-a-friend-borrow-your-coil/

It's been a very long winter with so much snow. Can't wait for it to melt and get swinging. We have had over 14 ft of snow this year.

I purchased this detector truck toy for my nephew a few years ago for Xmas. He loved it. He would bury coins in the sandbox and find them. Matchbox Treasure Tracker Metal Detector Truck https://a.co/d/bx8wAvO

But 40 years ago they couldn't get on the internet and complain about it for the world to see. 😜

It's sad to see everything become centralized. The mom & pop grocery store, the town clothing store, the local bootmaker, your favorite Cafe. Seems everything has gone corporate. The bonds and friendships forged through these connections become lifelong. Now thrown by the wayside by tapping on a computer or talking with a person from who knows where. I understand we all want to make $$$. But at the cost of greed? It seems we could be at a tipping point of society. I long for the days of our elders, when life was simpler, yet harder. I'm glad I'm fortunate to be able to live in old fashioned way and understand the new ways. I'm afraid if the 💩 really hits the fan, and we have a total blackout of no electronics. The younger generations won't have a clue on how to survive.

Will you let me in now? 🤣

Another "Brandon" screws things up.

From a FB post. Gives a great explanation of costs associated .

I'm thinking two local wild animal mods for @klunker & I. The reason I want two different mods is to keep the interference down in close proximity. Klunker has to be a bear sound. If you have ever seen him before he has had his coffee, you will know why. I'm definitely wanting the Sasquatch mod, because I'm tall and smell wonderful. Please message me back on prices. 😜🤣

I prefer the term "baby nuggets". I got these baby nuggets the day after Xmas with Klunker. Klunker waved his crystal tied to a string over a map of our area. He is pretty accurate with this method.
