Too bad they didn't have the GPS marking on the detector so you could upload it to a computer or phone later. Maybe the Deus III will have that lol

The app sounds good but since phone needs to stay on and uses blue tooth you probably should bring a charging pack for the phone. Your phone should have geo data already when you take a picture and that should show on a map. iphone has them in the photo album that way. You sure the squiggles was not you wandering all over? I tend to hunt in what I think is straight lines only to keep seeing the holes I already dug lol

There is one for 99 cent on steam with top down view not exactly a simulator lol. Also this one for $9.99 which allows you to fist fight other detectorists steam://openurl/https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/582810/ss_d8cc33fe1d07d0f58b8ba11e673e3fe8c58178a8.1920x1080.jpg?t=1599990892 Consider using the latest UT engine? Probably more suitable for realism as far as game engines go.

Could be ancient and brought over from europe. Doesn't necessarily have to be from this country. Also check for stuff from the islands.

F350 looked up the pipe band, 1919. 1920 Merc wasn't far off and also the baseball badge.

Buddy and I were able to get permission on an old farm. The owner doesn't want anyone else on it and has been incredibly generous to let us dig there. Think we still have about 20 acres to fart around on, targets are sparce but there are interesting finds. Image of some of them. For privacy reasons I won't post pics of the landscape or of key structures. Figured a few of ya might enjoy these, maybe even have more info on some of them.

Time to dig out the smaller coil and hit the trashiest spots for that trime horde out there somewheres......

Don't forget many manufacturers give the machines to these you tubers to play with and keep so expecting an unbiased review is unlikely. Tests I do is target for target in the field which proves much more to me. When hunting with buddies I make sure I am not using the same setup as they are. You would be surprised how similar the machines really are in depth and performance. Often people get snubbed for using older or less expensive machines and you will notice that posts often have Name Brand finds Gold or Deep Silver when in reality more often than not just about any machine can find those targets. I almost didn't buy a D2 because of the outrageous claims that were made. I stopped posting my finds because people more interested in the settings and machine used than the finds themselves.

Nice 64! Grounds look really promising.

Nice shape on merc, found a 1920 earlier today but badly worn. Congrats

Many new machines and all SMF's don't have true all metal mode.

Those sinker holders are nice, congrats.

Love to see how it works in the real world. I wouldn't go head to head with an Orx with 9"hf as that coil is iron blind. Would like to see how it handles coal/coke, iron rich grounds and black sand. Does he have a USA distributor?

I do in areas that are riddled in small iron.

Very cool finds. The one with the S and wings silver mark might have been made by this co.: https://www.silvercollection.it/USASILSHIEBLER.html

I'm sure shipping costs are also a factor.

Good to see couple old coins in the mix too. Congrats.

Out of curiosity, try setting recovery to lowest value. Ground balance it over an area with no targets. Set recovery speed to highest value. Re-ground balance over same spot and see if the numbers change.

Water hunting I take the covers off especially at the beach. The rest of the time I keep them on especially in rough grounds with rocks around to prevent chipping.

Ground balance zeros the machine to the ground creating a baseline. Recovery speed effects how a targets signal is condensed. Slower will blend targets, too fast you can condense the signal and make it difficult to pick out fringe targets. Ideally run recovery speed so it maches the size of a target. This is a good starting point.

Good ole pi would find all the nails for ya and then some 🙂 If your getting bigger spikes on needle you may want to dig those but should be ok ignoring the tiny blips. I'd concentrate efforts on the larger than nail range of targets to clear the area. Still amazes me how the old simple machines still do well in some conditions.

Not the happy ending i was expecting, thought the forums were getting a little risky. Congrats anyways!

Smaller the iron the easier it is for the Tesoro's I have. Larger nails can be a problem on it. I wouldn't compare the Tesoro to the 9" hf Orx coil at all, 2 different animals. As for your machine at 90khz, does it iron wrap on large silver, stacked quarters or large silver coins on edge? Your machine non-motion? If so how does it handle around modern aluminum trash? That is an issue with most analog machines unless they have good audio modulation it can be difficult to judge depth and seek deeper targets. Your machine has nice discrimination for that coil. If you haven't started manufacturing you may want to consider putting the control box under the arm cuff to balance the machine out. That makes a world of difference more so than just a light weight machine. Selling price? Will it be available in the USA?

Only bronze coin I had on hand was a usa large cent and also tested with a seated dime. GB the machines in area of testing. Put 3 nails on brick separated by a block of wood and discriminated out the iron then put one coin directly below to test. Gold Racer would give a broken signal with stock coil in disc 1. In all metal mode you could tell there was multiple targets but not enough to stop you in tracks. Apex with 9" ultimate got iron only Cibola with 8x9, picked both coins out but would break on tone in one direction. Tejon with 5x10 wide scan would hit in one direction but very broken in another. Tejon with 8x9 hit target well in both directions, little broken in one direction. D2 9" was iron only in 14 khz range and 40 khz range. X,Y screen would indicate multiple targets. Not sure if I would dig that though, usually hesitant on the speghetti lines but still new at the machine. Like I suspected the concentrics did better of the machines I tested.

Depends on the machine and where the phase is split between ground and target discriminators. Some machines have agressive settings making them easy to coin shoot and do general detection but can mask out easily while others are able to detect below desireable target range ie minerals. Extremely high frequency machines with very sensitive coils can make detecting for coins and relics exhausting when there are large concentrations of targets. I see in one your videos you tested against the Orx with 9" HF coil. that machine in particular with that particular coil masks out terrible around iron. I had one and got rid of it as thin iron would make only the phase meter jump and machine didn't any iron response around rust. As a coin shooter and jewerly machine its nice but not for relic or old sites. I recently got the D2 and it does not have that issue, nor does my Tesoro's, Multi Kruzer, AT Pro, Apex or Gold Racer. All of those with DD coil will respond to iron over other targets so if there was a nail over a silver there is a good chance the silver will not be heard and only the iron. This is not fault of the machines but just DD coils in general. Again Concentric coils don't have that issue.
