Hey guys! Just got my hands on the new Pro-Gold kit from Minelab. It's my first product review video, so be gentle on me ;) Anyway, hope you enjoy it. I know I did!

 

 

i'm strangely drawn to the box......

thanks, now I know what mosquito farts sound like! you did a good job on the video though, I could follow along easier than when I'm using my detector. am I right that the display on the left shows where under the coil the target is? if so , major cool. I do like the pinpointer sound too. 

typical whites customer service, glad to hear chuck. 

ok chuck, take care. 

Eklawok, I also am trying to teach myself how to pop coins with a screw driver. I usually give up and dig. 

I think I would be second in line. :-) thanks steve for the explanation .

Chuck, I just wanted to report my ground number is 64. I don't really know how that might affect the mxs, but I thought you might be interested .

Seems solid and fairly nonslip... Yours is prettier and the wood handle has a nice finish.

yah but its broken twice, and even gorilla glue wont fix it now. I think I might get one like yours. thanks for the replys gentlemen.

Mine is pretty much lik the one in the picture, one side is serrated and it has a blue molded handle made by some French company I think. It's really solid and cuts a nice plug... pops shallow stuff ok too.

that looks like mine but with a better handle.

thanks for the cool pics, I'm going to show my little one.

I broke my digging tool, so I'm looking for ideas on what to replace it with. I know for prospecting you all use a pick. as do I, but that won't do for turf! this is what I've been using. works great turf.

post some pics, might be "relics"

if you really want to challenge that frenchie machine, come over to my back yard!

pay my penance so to speak

i have found a few spark plugs it would be cool if i was off on my dates and it was the one you worked at, i could have you bring over the mxs and clean up all the junk you tossed over.

near lincoln and el camino real

whew, that makes it not the one I worked at. I worked there late 70's .because we used to throw spark plugs and stuff into the field behind our station(I'm sorry)

very cool

Thanks for the info on the sensitivity setting. The 10 inch coil should give you great depth with the sensitivity set at the high end.I'd think you should get another 2 inches on that same coin.

The Best.

Chuck

well my back yard has a power pole and I'm detecting under wires, so I expect it affects performance. on the upside,I was out in the garage and just for the heck of it I put a tape measure on my digging tools scale and its short a quarter inch or more. (plus I broke the handle). so my depth report is a little short. send yours back again.

you know after reading your story again, I think I worked at that gas station. any idea when it closed, or the brand of the station.

I had sensitivity at 8 

Hi chuck, I was in coin and jewelry mode. it does seem ok to me, I also tried high trash, and it works well, cuts down on all the junk sounding off. I'm going back out there this weekend and try some more stuff. I'll post when I do. good luck.

well after 2 hours with it, I don't think I have tone smearing. it does have depth, found a copper cent at 7 inches, and there was a big nail right under it. so it seems that it there is trash in the hole or really close, I get a sort of short crackle sound next to the good sound. seems to work well, as an aside I'm having problems with my garret pinpointer, which is new too. and in my back yard I can't set either down to dig unless I turn them off because of the high trash scenario.

Thanks lucky

I was up there recently and the water was coming off the hills from the snow melt. but was still able to get back to a claim. river was running fast too.

my garret carrot interferes with the mx sport. however the carrot just died so I might be sending it back. only when on that is.
