I would rather they had went with the GMX Sport instead of the 24K. A Gold detector that's NOT Water-proof doesn't fall along their lines of progress. As soon as the AT Gold came out the Scorpion was discontinued. I’d also like to see if they could put the TDI into that same Water-proof package.

NICE!!! Thanks! Walt

The hole's kind of big for the screws they use but found this in a Google Search: https://www.e-rigging.com/1-8-stainless-steel-d-ring-pad-eye?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=Shopping_60-70&utm_term=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyvKj-8T18gIVYQJ9Ch0Maw7PEAQYAyABEgJOE_D_BwE

Here's a V-SAT set-up. They were riveted on.

All I have is this Screen Shot from the video. I'm guessing the D-rings were mounted using existing Screw Holes but maybe longer screws. I'll reach out to Josh and see if I can get a close-up photo.

I understand the scoop thing. It's still a great Pin Pointer for Treasure Hunting. Thanks for the Idea, Steve!

I just watched this Whites Video with Josh Bohmker. He found a way to take a couple of D-rings similar to those on the old Goldmasters and chest mounted the SL. Very cool!

This is fantastic news! Great review, Steve. I for one am hoping that they will eventually bring back the TRX Pin Pointer. Because it reads off the tip, it's more sensitive to small pieces of gold than any other on the market, including their Garrett “Carrot”. This is because all others have the same 360-degree Detection Field. This is a big coil versus small coil scenario, I presume. It’s the only one that will find a 1.5 grainer that I have! I know there are folks out there that would buy one immediately, if they were available.

I called Todd yesterday and he's received another truck load from Whites. He asked me to give him a little more time but took a list of what I needed so he could keep an eye out for it.

I'm looking for a pair of light weight and comfortable boots with hiking soles and no metal eyelets or hooks. The key words are Light Weight and Comfortable! Anyone know of any? Thanks! Walt

It would be great if they would make it something like 20, 40 & 60 kHz as Simon mentioned. Add wireless audio and viola, GM2000! I wish they had made the Eureka Gold simultaneous. I think it would have made a BIG difference.

I spoke with Todd Marshall today and he just picked up ALL the left over parts from White's. He said to give him about 3 weeks to sort it all out before calling for availability.

I heard from a buddy that Minelab was discontinuing this model. I hope it's not true! I also heard from another buddy that they are no longer going to make single frequency Gold Machines. I know rumors are what they are but wanted to reach out anyway. Thanks! Walt

Wished I'd have bought about a half dozen at the beginning of the year!

"AT Pro Pointer = TRX" I did an Air test last night. The TRX found a 1 grain piece of gold 1/2" from the tip. The Carrot wouldn't find it at all!

I would have liked to have seen the TDI in the water-Proof "Sport" platform with a variety of coil sizes. Whites really missed the boat by just modifying their Beach Machine. When I first started selling Metal Detectors I was confused by the Infinium's 96 Frequencies. It's Pulse Induction. It doesn't operate on a Frequency, right. Then I realized it was like a cordless phone with 96 "Channel's". There would have been less confusion if they would have used THAT terminology instead.

Other than the Falcon MD 20 Probe, does anybody make a Prospecting specific Pin Pointer for small gold? Thanks! Walt

Can anyone tell me what Frequency the Pro-Find 35 operates at? I can't find it anywhere. Is the search field off the tip like the TRX or 360 like the Garrett? Thanks! Walt

I was selling at the Portland Oregon GPAA show a few years back. A man came up to me looking for a Gold Bug. I showed him Fisher’s latest offering to which he replied “No, I’m looking for an Original, without the Screen”. I explained to him that they were few and far between. I then inquired as to the reason for his search and dislike for the newer model. Both were 19kHz. Both had Ground Balance capabilities with the new “Bug” more user friendly. He then told me the following story. He and a Buddy were out Nugget Hunting. He had the original and his Buddy was using the current model. He then pulled a good-sized piece of Magnetite out of his pocket with a piece of gold attached. His Buddy’s detector showed it as being ferrous so he failed to dig the target. He was following behind and because the “hit” was so solid and with nothing to tell him otherwise, he recovered it! I had never seen anything like that although I’ve been told that both were created by the same Hydrothermal activity. I wish I had snapped a photo!

Thanks Mitchel! Looks live you live in the place of my birth. I love detecting that beach. I don't know how long you've been there but I used to visit my Grandmother every summer. They had an Amusement park on a pier near Venice called Pacific Ocean Park (POP).

I’ve heard of folks hunting the Rye Patch area of Nevada. How do they gain access? Do they have their own claim? Are there Open to the Public areas? What about Local Prospecting Clubs? Thanks! Walt

Great Video Steve, thanks for sharing! I never really thought about iron mixed with good targets "Averaging" or lowering the VDI.

I got my first chance to take the Apex out for a test drive in a local park. I chose U.S. Coins mode because the area I was hunting is home to a Carnival with Rides and Game Booths every year. I must say, it ran fairly quiet until it hit a target. I will most likely use Zero in the future as the “Pre-set” modes may have more discrimination than I’m used to. Or I could “Accept” some of the blocked-out segments to create a “Custom” Program. Overall impressions: Simple, nice and light weight, well balanced, easy to adjust settings plus the Wireless Audio that you can hear your Pin Pointer through! However, I watched a You Tube video of a hunt at a Boy Scout Camp. The videographer mentioned that the Depth Gauge seemed to be “off”. I experienced the same issue. One target read 4” when it was right under the surface. This happened more than once. My 1.5 hours netted me some Clad coins, a Cinemark Token, a Fleur-de-lis snap or button cover and three strange washers. I only found one other piece of “junk” which appears to be cast Aluminum. Comparing it to the Minelab Equinox Series would be a bit unfair. While they share similarities like Simultaneous MF, GB, Noise Cancel (Frequency Shift) and Preset Programs including Beach Mode, that’s where it ends. The Nox has way more Features and Adjustments putting in a completely different league altogether! The APEX is simply an entry level Multi-Frequency Metal Detector for those starting out or an upgrade for the many Ace Enthusiasts. I’ve mostly worked with the White’s TRX which reads off the tip. It will take some time getting used to the 360 degrees of the Garrett and Nokta Pin Pointers. My only real concern other than the Depth issue is what problems, if any, may occur due to them being put together so quickly to fill the many preorders and back orders.

"What I'm wondering is if the standalone Z-lynk receiver is compatible with their detectors that have the built-in transmitters." My answer would be yes. It would allow you to use what ever wired headphones you're fond of instead of the MS-3.

I was under the impression that those "Pre-set" modes come with a certain amount of disc. Am I wrong?
