RickUK I totally agree with you. There is simply no way I am going to fork over hard-earned funds on advertising alone. There are so many adept field testers both here, in the UK and in Australia. I will wait until they have put the (fill in name of new untested detector here), through its paces. That being said, I really hope the Equinox lives up to the hype.

Yeah duct tape and rope, the answer for half of what goes wrong in the field…

New To Nugget Detecting, Help With Choice?
flakmagnet replied to SteveJJ's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Best way to show gold collection: With photographs taken before it is locked away in a safety deposit box. Sad but true. -
Did Anyone But Minelab Show Up At Detectival?
flakmagnet replied to johnedoe's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
I agree Fred, a pretty classy response… -
It would be fun to hear a translation of the Russian vid. It appears they may have gotten into more detail than the other ones that have been put up.

Hi Peg, I am sure most of us would agree that a Rye Patch chevron piece is the equivalent of a lunker in anyones book. Nice job!

In The Field With Nenad Lonic And The GPZ 19 Coil
flakmagnet replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
Thank you - again - for helping us keep up. -
Another great idea for a review and a fun read. You are doing work that most of us cannot, or would not, do even if we had the machines you have acquired, so a big thank you for that. This tendency of yours to write up details about detecting that almost no-one comes up with is one of the many reasons this forum is the best one going. (I was sort of hoping you'd be unhappy with the 3030 and want to sell it (joke))

Yup, I wrapped my ferrite ring in bubble wrap. I can toss it anywhere (and have), and it's protected perfectly.

Minelab's Sensational New Metal Detector
flakmagnet replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
I hope that a breakthrough in discrimination and less overall detector weight will be the next major changes in the technology. -
What Backup Detector Do You Carry ?
flakmagnet replied to Ridge Runner's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
My back-up is a 5000 only because I was lucky enough to find a wonderful deal on a very clean 7000 without having to sell the GPX. I also then, have a worthy detector in case someone needs to borrow one. I am luckier than most, for sure. -
Fred I noticed the same thing with my Deepseeker as well.

1715 Spanish Fleet Lease Areas
flakmagnet replied to MontAmmie's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Hi Ammie, The only time you have a real chance of finding anything from the 1715 fleet is during a hurricane or an exceptionally strong storm that cuts the beaches down a very long way. Over the years as you probably know, the dune line on A1A has eroded back quite a bit as well. At the colored beach site, the only time the old timers get excited is when the cut is so deep, the old highway starts to show. Best of luck… -
Ok, I downloaded the update to my Mac desk top. I plugged in the usb cable from the computer to the 7000. I powered up the 7000 and waited until I saw the 7000 hard disk icon on the computer desk top. Then I double clicked the 7000 hard drive icon and dragged the update onto the open hard drive. After it updated (a short time), I dragged the 7000 hard drive icon to the trash (this ejects it). Then I disconnected the usb cable and followed the prompts on the screen of the 7000. It worked perfectly.

1715 Spanish Fleet Lease Areas
flakmagnet replied to MontAmmie's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
The beach areas around the 1715 wreck areas (and you know where they are, but generally from Gold Beach to the North past Sebastian Inlet), are among the most highly regulated beach areas in the country - with good reason obviously - there have been many amazing finds both on the beaches and out in the lease areas. -
Very informative information about your through approach to hunting this area. Thank you for sharing.

I wish there was a way to get a Supersede pick head shipped here as well. That is my second most-liked pick but I do not own one.

1652 Pine Tree Shilling - MXT All Pro
flakmagnet replied to tboykin's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
That is probably the most valuable American coin to find. Congratulations to the finder its a thrill just to know someone found one. -
This pick was designed by a man who went by the handle of joeforthegold. Bunk makes it now and both gents do a great job manufacturing them. It is an outstanding pick with tremendous power and relatively light weight. For desert prospecting it can't be beat - opinion of course. For heavy hardpacked soil and rock you may need to augment that pick with a heavier brand, but overall it is one of the very best.
