  1. Sounds like one heck of a day and adventure. Really like the photos and even though I am just, for now, an armchair prospector, I do live through guys,,, until the my first gold detector shows up. Joe
  2. Well now after reading the manual several times, I just hope the shipper (distributer) and UPS can get it to me this upcoming week. Fingers crossed. Weather is warming here and I have a few areas up in our mountains , yes it’s just NYS, and I know we are nugget less, but it’s just more than that. It’s more than just pulling a nugget out, it’s the adventure and these semi older legs need more than searching parks and fields with my Xterra pro. So for me it’s a detector and a dream.. And then it’s or trips out west, we do a few times a year, friends in Colorado and we always take a drive south and I have a bit love for Arizona. Luckily for me my wife “likes” the area too, so with the start of our retirement, you never know. Sorry just babbling on now. Now,I have to figure out the logistics of flying with a detector. Thanks for all for all the input and info. Joe
  3. A small story and then a question. ordered my detector from a long time detector dealer down south. Order was smooth. So I get the UPS shipping notice and I see Texas distributor entered my Name a bit off and street name missing the first letters. Oh boy. So contacted the dealer and even called the distributor and they said the contacted UPS and it should be ok. We’ll see. Now the question. Every detector I have had, I think, you just plugged the charger in to charge. So it says it runs great on just regular alkaline batteries but I like rechargeable. Do the rechargeable batteries use the same holder? Manual not that clear on that. Also regular nicads? And are going rechargeable worth it due to shorter use.? Thanks , Joe
  4. Ok, I upon reading something I found I guess its how fast the threshold recovers after the hum varies??? Hmm
  5. Still a bit confused, I know I can adjust threshold but there is. SAT adjustment also I guess you set to let it set your threshold. I guess I’m over thinking and should just go out and detect. lol. Thanks
  6. I searched the internet but, still not sure What does SAT adjustment mean on a metal detector? What is SAT. Thanks, Joe
  7. I’ve read a few of your pages in these forums and if your book is anything like them, it will be Fantastic!! I am looking forward to it. Joe
  8. Bear, that’s excellent, thanks, Joe
  9. Always had interest but never just took the step to learn, now its time.
