nothing ventured....nothing gained hey

I wonder how many times we'll hear the word, crikey?

I like mine! But, I think the pin pointer function is strange, sometimes it produces no sound, but indicates depth. Is that a problem? Maybe I don't really understand how to use it. Seems to have good depth, and if I do the lift the coil trick, the id works pretty good. And where the heck is the center of the cone? I would think it's the center of the coil, right. I like the design too.I don't really like the metal box type, with all the switches that get bumped, though I have one.

I drink too.

could do a patch.

I don't want to  dredge in the ocean. I just posted that for other crazies to see.  the ocean is carnivorous!

I don't know if this would work, but the price is right.

and this helps illustrate another point, new users getting into a hobby tend to tiptoe(read ,spend less on their first toy)

Who Is Really Driving Metal Detector Technology These Days?

Started by Steve Herschbach, 2 hours ago

Well. I am. 

newbs who don't know what the hell most of you are talking about. we tend to trust the old name brands to not be a complete pile of junk. so we are the people they are marketing too.  when we get to your level, then we will have the same wants as you power users.

but for now, I'm driving metal detector technology. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

sad huh. but the technology that makes my mx sport waterproof is a buying point for me, since I killed a detector by getting it wet and muddy. it doesnt matter if the xp outperforms it, I can't afford to replace it if it get wet!(as an example) and who ever heard of good french technology.(playing devils advocate there).(love the french). 

very nice video. 

steve, send me those nuggets and I'll test my mx sport.   maybe

Lots of sagebrush and empty space to see,lol. I got creeped out in Lovelock, not into guys hanging around the restroom scene, hope your stay is more enjoyable.

ok so can't let that be the last post

it's the journey, the shortest line is not always the best, unless time is short. 49 could be a whole day of exploring, and maybe you don't need to go to rye patch, plenty of gold around the yuba, but whatever beeps your machine, right.

49 north from auburn to truckee. .eat here bring a pan or sluice.

cool vid. 

way to go chuck

you're a good egg chuck. 

Chuck, can you tell me how to test the pinpoint function? 

thanks for the quick answer T

Hello gang, found something with the MX Sport this morning.

This is very important, all MX Sport users with the upgrade need to run audio modulation feature at 0, running at 1 slows down the recovery and creates some tone smearing. 

And of course those using Relic mode can increase SAT that will increase recovery as well especially in areas with mineralization or iron masking.

Hi Paul, I tried both audio mod on and off(0-1) and did not notice a difference. my sat does go up to 8.( I have the latest firmware) now my question, to anybody, since it isnt mentioned in the manual, what does audio mod do?

I was wrong , 1935, any way these are some of the coins that show up in the till. The cashier always calls me if anything looks strange. ( except the quarter and the wheat ). As an aside, he asked me after the fact if I thought a ten dollar bill felt wrong, yep counterfeit . It's taped to the till now. 

how about this? http://www.keeneeng.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=KES&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=HAS

Could you give an estimate of how many hours you spent digging last week, and how many total coins you dug?  I'd like to be able to estimate how rare such an occurrence is.  The number of coins dug is the more important one.

The word 'impressive' doesn't begin to do this justice.  If those are nearly independent events (that is, we're not talking about someone stealing a coin collection and then dumping it in the local park) this is approaching astronomical.  I recall an article in Coin World newspaper back in the the 60's where an estimate was given of the number of hours searching through bank rolls it would take to find various scarce and rare Lincoln Cents.  Wish I could find that article.

so, about 5 years ago, someone came into the station and bought several pack of smokes, and paid for them with silver dollars, I was able to buy the newest one from the till. 1938 I think, the boss got the rest. 

another time couple of years ago, I was playing 7 card stud, 25cent ante, at boomtown near reno, I dragged a pot and one of the quarters was a 1938.

just this week, I walked around front of the shop and found a wheat cent on the floor mat near the door.

no detector needed!

ouch man, just ouch
