Minelab Files Suit Against XP Metal Detectors
Hobo replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
Although I believe ML makes a good heavyweight detector, I think they are a rip off and unscrupulous company.JMPO -
I don't own either one, but there are a LOTS more 4500s out there than there are ATXs. Thats not a fair comparison, even tho the 4500 is probably a better detector. P

I'm not pissed, I think the new freqs are just right,.plus we will still have the old ones if we choose to.

Why Does California Have So Much Gold?
Hobo replied to usaflaginmaine's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Because thats where God put it. -
Hope the pin pointer is sensitive I hope the pin pointer is sensitive enough for sub grain .gold.

wonder how the elec. gets from the stem to the coil, dont see a wire, the stem must be permanently attatched.

A time goes on, you have fĂȘwer years left , so you can get by with a smaller nugget

Nokta Au Gold Finder Officially Introduced

Think I would like it for nugget hunting, but the Gold Racer would be more versatile with its TIG. -

Probably in central park at your expense. -
Get a spanish dip needle.

No, I have not tried that one, but those type of "dowsing rods" have been around for quite a wlile and I have seen a lot of guys using and demonstrating them, have never seen anyoe find any thing wth em. 2 bent metal ctothes hangers work as well and. and lot cheaper. Buy a good dedicated gold detector from Steves list http://www.detectorprospector.com/gold-prospecting-guides/steve-guide-gold-nugget-detectors.htm. MO

Using that thing would be a total waste of time imo.

What Are The Manufacturers Missing?
Hobo replied to PhaseTech's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
From a pratical and easy to do stand point I would be happy with some improvements in ergonomics, just put a 2300 or an ATX in a 3lb box, I wouldn't care if I had to change batteries every 3-5 hrs. -
Not to interested in 11"" coil, but am anxiously awaiting the elliptical and the 40kz.
-
I don't look at it as buying a new coil, but as a new detector with 4 new freqs. By adding an other shaft and handle (which l have a lot of) I have 2 detectors.
-
Yeah, it's great that ML has such inexpensive coils.
-
I also have had some sucess with the Deus using the godfield program, but I still prefer my GB2 for small pieces. Am waiting for V4 too, if it dosen't turn out to be what l want i'll probably get a Gold Racer, but l plan to keep my Deus. lMO its the best all around detector available. lf l could have only one vlf detector it would bethe Deus.

eolian placers can be explained, but some shallow gold nuggets seem completely out of place. I found a half ouncer on the surface,with desert varnish on it and no nore near it.

If gold goes to1500 I may buy some dollars with some of my gold

Nokta AU Gold Finder ID Filter & IMask
Hobo replied to TRINITYAU's topic in Nokta / Makro Metal Detectors
Steve.. Factory IMask defauld on the AU Gold finder is 6, but it sounds like it should be operated at a lower number unless a higher number is needed for quieter operation. Is this correct or am l reading it wrong?
