PI-Man

Very Nice setup. Someone’s gotta want that. One of the best machines out there. They go very deep. I have 3 with mods and a bunch of MJ coils before he got shutdown from fire. None of my machines owe me a thing they have paid for themselves a couple of times over. Good luck with sale.

Congrats on the gold!

Karl — Thanks much for the response your input is always respected and appreciated. Actually when I put the shorting wire in awhile ago I completely forgot about the op amp, but no issues that I can see so far. It must have been a late night at work. Nothing like throwing a tiny bit of caution to the wind. I am blaming Jim when he sent me mod to do 😆

Great we all like fresh field reports it helps. I might have to add that switch onto my machines this fall and the R86 removal. My problem is my machine just runs so darn smooth with all the other mods. FYI - my TP2 and TP31 are shorted together on my 3 machines and a friends I modded. Have not had any issues and did notice a gain increase when I did it. Machine still runs smooth. Karl do you think there are any long term effects or potential failure of op amp by just shorting TP2 and TP31 even though so far machine running smooth? And any degradation of performance long term effects that you can think of by just doing the short without resistor — inadvertent loss of depth or any issues other than op amp abuse etc? Jim — I am still kicking — 1.5 yrs cancer free so far. Just move a little slower now a days and I still need to find a gold coin. Doing good had a bunch of other medical procedures done this year since I was in for my 500,000 mile tune up. Lol. You didn’t tell me this getting older stuff can be painful at times 😂

See what happens when I take a little break from the forum. I missed a great thread. Cali I PM’d you sorry for delay. Yep I am the guy who probably bought out all the Panasonic and Rubicon caps years ago after they were being discontinued. I bought hundreds since it was a minimum order from the vendor. Didn’t need hundreds just worked out that way. But I can tell you I do go through a bunch when finding the right pair for the job. Karl — thanks for explaining to everyone about why we match caps (important) and the many other things you explain to all of us. Wow some good work being done out there!

Did you have the Hot Wheel reactivity setting set at 1 or 2 — 😂

Excellent!

1 good ring makes you forget about the parking fee. 😂 But I do not like them either.

TampaBayBrad — yea it’s mystery digging over here in the surf it would be nice to see my feat. That only happens once in a while. Sorry I have been praying for west wind blame me. As you know it helps knock the waves down over here. Few guys I know head over your way every couple of weeks to detect as well as Miami (Cha Ching jewelry Capitol). Funny the other day I had my D2 wireless headphones on wading instead of my bone conductors or my water proof wired headphones (I know better) in the chest deep water. Good thing I didn’t lose them. I promise I will start praying for strong nor’easters in a few months to loosen up the Spanish stuff over here 😂 CPT — sorry you ran into my EX the 9 ft hammerhead 😛 darn creature likes finding and taking 💴 💰 too!

RV — I need to up my game before everyone comes back for the winter detecting extravaganza! 😆

F350 — yea the ring I think is older. Looks like something off of ‘silvertribe’ website. Which is great site to look up that type of ring finds. Might have just found something close to it on Etsy. Doesn’t matter as long as my wife is happy 😃 with her new ring. The arrow pendant was neat shame it wasn’t silver too like you said. Troughs aren’t too pronounced right now so we have to take what we can get. Summer sand pattern. Just happy to find them when I can. Sure is nice wading though. Probably going to try some remote beaches coming up to see conditions.

I like to find out where Joe D and F350 are hunting and seed the area with the crusty clad. That way I get them to get rid of them for me 😂 Tumbler for an hour. If the cheap pennies do not clean up they get pitched (yea a shame).

Great Finds Doc. I like the finding buttons too. That Dog button is really neat.

Hot — heck those temps feel like winter! 😆 Congrats! finally got some time to read some posts. You need JoeD’s Bigfoot coil.

Congrats — interesting find. Like everyone’s comments and the history!
