  1. My 800 also does fine on the small bits, but I haven't got any that fine yet!!πŸ†Like you said, more of a challenge to get, and keep in the scoop! Pretty much solved that problem by not sifting much in my technique, as many do, but kick and spread up the beach, and pinpoint! My power switch recently bit the dust on my 800, so I will have to pay for a new Pod, as it's out of warranty! But worth the effort! Keep up the good work!πŸ€πŸ‘πŸ‘
  2. Also, they have since came out with the 700, 900, and Manticore! If you really like the machine as is, but want to try another ML, those are your current options! But I don't think those would be much of an improvement for you, seeing that you are in Europe! A Deus 2 might be a consideration, if you decide to shop for an upgrade, as those are doing very well there! As an added note, you can also rollback to your current verson, if you don't like the update! I have had no issues with the last update!πŸ€πŸ‘πŸ‘
  3. Welcome Tyler, That's alot of good info to digest, and you should get lots of help here, but it may take a bit of back and forth! Plenty here who use, or have used all your detectors and coils, so you are in a good place for specific "detector for location/target" advise!! How long have you been detecting? And what detector(s) are you most proficient with in your opinion? I did see you are primarily a relic hunter! Very lucky location wise, as several others here do well with relics too, in the area! But even more so, if you can hunt for natural gold there too! Good luck!πŸ€πŸ‘πŸ‘
  4. Killer; gentlemen!!πŸ†πŸ‘πŸ‘
  5. That's one of the great strengths for Garrett, to me! While they don't necessarily need the hobby division, it is what the core of the business was initially with Charles, and I'm sure will be kept around, hopefully for a long time!!πŸ‘
  6. Oops, I got ahead of himself! I was never very good a reading retention in school!πŸ€£πŸ‘πŸ‘
  7. Just Wow!!πŸ€πŸ€πŸ‘πŸ‘
  8. Welcome to the forum "D", A bit more history on the house would be helpful! Like year built, style, features like a usable attic, basement, large crawl spaces, old solid wood doors, brickwork etc! But I'd say yes on saving your money on buying another detector for indoors! Use the 600 to thoroughly check the yard numerous times and directions! The larger the object, the deeper your detector may pick it up, within its limits! Mason jars, and coffee cans were a few of the containers to bury valuables in! But many people were very creative in hiding their items; especially indoors! If any old furniture came with the house, sometimes they will have a hidden drawer or space to conceal items! Other than that, the sky is the limit for fixed objects of, or in the house! Spend a little time inside and visualize where things might be safe, but accessible with a bit of effort on the part of the owner! Most people that hid items, want to have access to them when needed in an emergency; financial or otherwise! They won't want to tear down a wall, etc, if they ran short one month to pay the bills, or there was a house/wild fire! A few examples would be a short piece of floorboard, or moulding, that is held on with a single nail or screw, or just well fitted to secure, but still be accessible to add or subtract from! Now hoarders are a different mindset onto themselves, and all bets, or common sense are off! Good hunting, and be careful poking your hands in dark and dusty places! Some critter my not appreciate that!πŸ€πŸ‘πŸ‘
  9. I certainly hope so! I've been waiting (on a Garrett I wanted; hopefully waterproof) since the AT Pro! And my 60th "Anniversary" is 18 days after theirs!πŸŽ‚ Maybe a selfsent gift?πŸ˜†πŸ‘πŸ‘
  10. Make sure you get the pink camo one next time Chuck! I have one of those in my arsenal, a Technetics G2! ( got for the great price, not the color) Better yet, maybe they will make a hunter's orange one just for you! And we can add a clapper that beeps!πŸ˜†πŸ‘πŸ‘
  11. Wasn't that long Bob, and I love the pics!πŸ‘ Nice job "stumbling" into a very productive spot! Had to laugh at the small field reference! Remember, good things come in small packages, and apparently, small fields to!πŸ€πŸ‘πŸ‘
  12. Welcome Grumpy! Don't get discouraged with the 5000! Plenty of people on here to set you up right! Feel free to ask plenty of questions, but many can be found on past posts! But like any detector, especially PI's, it's gonna take a bit to get the hang of! Keep at it!πŸ€πŸ‘πŸ‘
  13. Most of us don't have the skills, or desire to modify coils! Especially if under warranty and/or waterproof! But yeah, I heard about that too! Point is we shouldn't have to modify anything these days, except for an occasional software download, maybe a shaft change, etc.. ML could have altered their coil design for the Nox line, or offered to give some software updates to the Nox if customers were adamant about something! At least while under warranty, if not for as long as an owner had one! One thing that always bugged me was the low volume with headphones! Not near loud enough at the beach, especially low tones! (Could be my hearing also) I say make all your detectors loud, and let the customer be able to adjust as needed! Maybe they fixed that on the 7 and 9 hundred; don't know! But it could have been done on the 6 and 8 also via an update!πŸ‘πŸ‘
  14. Because with most any other detector company, that assumption would be generally correct, and make sense! Not so with ML and their chipped coils! At least they figured that out for the 700 and 900, so I will give them some credit! πŸ‘πŸ‘
  15. Rvpopeye, Just come to Florida already! You will never have to wait to detect, or dig through ice again! The only melting that will happen here, is you disappearing into a pool of sweat, digging through all the feet of renurishment sand they are putting on the beaches; again!! Guaranteed to find the same kinds of targets too! Btw, spring has sprung here; shocker!!πŸ₯΅β›±οΈ
  16. I resemble that remark!πŸ™„πŸ‘πŸ‘
  17. I resemble that remark!πŸ™„πŸ‘πŸ‘
  18. No square peg in a round hole?? Fits with a hammer, but functionality NOT garrenteed!!πŸ€πŸ‘πŸ‘
  19. I don't believe it's just a software issue! I believe the chips in the coils are also different, and not compatible!πŸ€πŸ‘πŸ‘
  20. It's OK if Simon decides to sport a little "colorful flare" on his detectors! Next thing that may happen is his daughter bejewels✨️ some of his detectors! We will still like him anyways! πŸ˜œπŸ‘πŸ‘
  21. Gotta have another funny name, or it's not Doc's!πŸ˜†πŸ‘πŸ‘
  22. Forgot about that!πŸ‘ One of the reasons I stopped using them on any cables; especially older "seasoned" ones, and stuck with the velcro or tape!!πŸ€πŸ‘πŸ‘
  23. May be compatible for electric cars!!πŸ€”πŸ˜œ Great report(s) Simon, thanks!πŸ‘ Fortunately or unfortunately, I think it will be awhile to make it into the states! But at least any bugs, and many demo videos will be out by then!πŸ€πŸ‘πŸ‘
  24. If Simon is like most of us, the biggest animal to "fear" Is man!! We are our own worst enemy! There was a thread on here not too long ago about just that! Also, Simon has posted pics of some of his terrain, which is some pretty steep, and remote stuff in the mountains! I'm sure he wants to hear falling rocks, etc..! But other than those two he has little else to fear! But mostly, he hates wearing headphones! I have studied the "Simon" in its natural habit for several years, via the forum; interesting animal! He has learned to store dozens of electronic devices in his backyard den, as the female of the species demands the main den be clutter free!! πŸ˜†πŸ˜œπŸ‘πŸ‘
