  1. There was a delta 8x9 on ebay, I assume your looking for epsilon?
  2. Can only imagine what machines you use lol
  3. That's awesome. Hard to read the date on it, did you try flipping it over and looking on the piece that is missing? :)
  4. Nice area and very cool ring. Aluminum looks like slag, get lots of that where people toss their cans in camp fires. Probably among the most annoying trash to try to pull good targets from but also good sign that people sat around drinking and possibly losing good stuff. Definitely a good spot to pick through with a small coil.
  5. Not a very big market for a single tone analog machine so to build even just one model and try to recover the costs involved makes it a losing venture. Deeptech does have that niche covered and have some innovative models for those looking for analog machines. Hard to outsell all the bells and whistles out there even when those single tone beepers are still so effective.

    Last year you could have snagged a Gold Kruzer new in box for just over $300 because it was rumored they were being discontinued. Few months later there was a change of heart. Electronically the Gold Kruzer, Multi Kruzer and Anfibio are good machines. I personally had issues from day 1 with my Multi Kruzer with leaking. Though it was a tiny leak it caused falsing on the unit when tipped and fogging behind the screen. Took me forever to trace it down as I thought it was near the cabling, then thought I had a bad gasket and finally traced the leak down to a flaw in the case itself. Not a weak spot but rather where and how it was molded. By then the machine was well out of warranty. I also had trouble trying to source an internal battery and trying to source a stock battery from service fell on deaf ears so I was able to find one on ebay and put that in. Fixed the leak and my Brother In Law now has the machine and its running well for him as I have moved on from Nokta. Other option would be the Garrett 24k but not sure if that is in your budget range. Sometimes you can get them as open box. As for the Orx I have heard good things about the eliptical Hf coil. I had an Orx for a bit and it is a nice machine but I had purchased it with the 9" round hf coil that didn't work well in my neck of the woods and type of hunting I do. I believe there is a waterproof kit you can use on the Orx as well.
  7. At first glance it looks like you can polish floors with it too. Really cool!
  8. Got a batch of park probes and hand diggers out. Was set back with bad weather so I couldn't run the forge. For those who maybe interested the Hand diggers are here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/276293370990?hash=item40545e446e:g:YqUAAOSw6P9lqtkn&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0NDFasPJEWvKjwPsJqeehLzgXXcK%2B2Cnc8yhmpowSFOjVy1jxZvGCaIjaENunx0toytmzYCw6SKV3tgpemc3ukKbDGiKv%2BSh83EO%2BwDiomwYOVSgRZyUDGSSDTE0XIaVLl4J1GclkRyvRR7TRwBKpQV3mB68qWMbxe2aTyZjiCLUzZkKI2y4cIjUPrqOUJifALZYpWl4lncGJsdl9FLk%2FARdIa8Im5fL2IZZqhhxea2HBq1mF4kl6EaUFy6WzTIktceSOOMnraondXxCkW9nqdA%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5iIhuKpYw and Park Probes here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/315094928249?hash=item495d1f0b79:g:H3MAAOSw1zxi1LiJ&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0AnM8Qu8676bnE%2FpXEVrz0OwUDratQ1TmlUazfeaKM65x3Q8lNv4Y4Cjv5UeVS3RpLUnGbNB9q0s1%2BkR4mT8bLJmteHu4%2FmQlM6EiDkQmRZ41S17vXdZAldCn67zHQfJCRfFkztPJx9tg5xqUT3tOkpmYSMmnBcReW7EyN3B9mgyyJwwPT0nMmBNvaw33umG5EEXjj1bO1inxcWwV6hi%2FAi1s%2FznQWoGz8uqBhXqbwlVIlkLJhDkzWhUkh9Rr15%2FkIRMZIw26nerIEt44Bkhyzw%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5iIhuKpYw Thanks, Ken

    For a while the Gold Kruzer was on the chopping block. As an owner of the Multi Kruzer the control box had some design flaws so mine wasn't so waterproof. How does the Orx with eliptical hf coil compare to the Gold Bug Pro? It is in a similar price range.
  11. Got a similar model just for that. When I first used it the images weren't as clear as I expected but figured for the money it wasn't all that bad..... After a half hour or so using it I realized there is a little clear dust cap that I forgot to remove 🤣
  12. Now that I know you guys have good books I can just ask if you can id for me 🙂 Can start with this what I think is a spanish copper. Can't quite make out the date on it LOL Copper Cob or Copper Blob?
  13. Any inclusions in the stone, tiny bubbles? Could be moissanite. Color refractions, no inclusions is man made or lab.
