  1. Steve and all,

    I still cant believe i got an email back from them as soon as they got back to Turkey!!

    I had asked a question on their website about dealers---- little did i know Rob was going to be one.....

    The point is they picked it up that quickly--literally less than 2 days after they got home from the USA trip......and I had an answer---makes me feel like they really care about who I am...exceptional customer communication/service

    I think i wanna go work for them...lol........in Turkey!!!!

  2. Has anyone else notice that if you leave your cell phone in your front pocket that the SDC will false when you swing the coil over to the left----

     

    i couldn't figure it out one day and thought it was that dang pinpointer---but then i remember the deal about not keeping your coil level with the ground on the end of a swing----and remembered that will cause one to make a blurb,,,,

     

    Anyway, i finally figured out that when the SDC came across my body and the detector touched my front pocket where the phone was that i was getting a little interference---it was killing me because it was repeatable noise --

     

    AS soon as i moved the phone it quit.... just in case any of you are dumb enough to hunt with your phone on ---

    maybe i should get my shovel back out......

  3. Hahahaaha... detectorists ARE crazy Steve.....

    To prove my point i stay locked in a psych ward 12 hrs a day,,,,, :blink:

    I know I can turn it down, but I have that nagging feeling that I am going to miss a target..... So guess what--i get toasted and quit earlier---- (that makes sense , huh)

    When I get on a good patch and hit some good nugs with the gain down I am sure my confidence in running with a lower gain will grow....

    Its all about time on the ground and I will admit I havent had enough to get my confidence going good yet...... When I do everything will be fine---

  4. So Im not the only one.......

    I thought I was going crazy when I ran this baby,,,,

    I could only compare it to running my old 2100 when i was just getting started out while I was down with BorderBoy in AZ....

    I finally learned to listed to it like a radio blaring and just basically learned which sounds to listen too---when my brain got ahold of the right "note" i was better------

    but there is no doubt if you crank up the SDC to 5 and try to run a low threshold , it can be maddening after an hour or so.....

    I almost always try to run at 5 because I think it gives more depth---- is this a fair observation???

    There was no doubt when i hit a nugget---- but i did have to listen to a lot of iffy targets/mineralized ground and see if they repeat, all the while trying not to track them out.

    I need more time on mine and I am interested in hitting some tailing piles/creeks this spring.

    All just what I am learning-- please keep posting so i may pick up a few ideas...

  5. Steve,

    I bought one of these from Bart at bigboyhobbies and I had trouble with as soon as I fired up my detectors---all PI's ----

    I simply could not turn it on near one of them... they screamed like panthers!!!!

    Bart graciously let me return it, and i went ahead and got a Garrett Pro Pointer from him....

    Bearkat4160 has a good youtube comparison of the pinpointers--Minelab, Garrett, and Deteknix....

    Unfortuntely, I saw it too late,,but like i said i was able to return it.

  6. First off, thanks for the add to the forum Steve and secondly i wanna express my thanks for your willingness to do real world tests of all these detectors--that's what means the most to me...how they react on the same undisturbed target. I am looking forward to the comparisons.

    If you get tired of your FrankenATX i wanna be the first to have a shot at buying it--i love the idea of the weight loss program you have it on. :lol:

    I may have one question---what is your normal set up of the 2300 here in NV?---

    [Mine is not as quiet as I expected, of course i run it on 5 sensitivity if i can get away with it and about 2 on the threshold---it almost reminds me of the 2200v2 i had...a little warbly.....I am afraid to run it on the lower sensitivity settings because i am afraid i lose too much depth]---

    What say you?

    Chris you can chime in too--or anyone else for that matter---- i really like his forum---it is educational for me...
