  1. In a nutshell all the stabilizer does is make the nonferrous target ID not bounce around so much next to a ferrous target. I tried it a couple of times to see how well it works and I prefer it completely off. I always dig stuff near iron anyways...but that is me.
  2. Thanks, I appreciate that I do remember people mentioning that it would work. I gave up looking for different coils after nokta replied to me.
  3. Very interesting....thanks!!
  4. Hey Jeff I got one question.....Is the numerical VDI target scale the same as the legend 1...... 0-60 ??
  5. Probably will continue to rise. Gold has slowed a bit. I bought some for the long haul I guess....or the black market when things sink. When it does hit the fan though I think that the only way to cash in if you will is to trade for things because when things do sink it will become a digital currency retailers accept.
  6. Went back out to the old house site today. Circa 1928 is when it was built. I think I have dug everything it has to offer as far as good signals go. Got a big apron full of trash along with these few items. An old army button, a wheat not sure if date, one copper memorial penny, an 1895 Indian head penny, a civil war bullet, a couple of junk zinc pennies and a cute little girl pin. Not sure what the little skinny piece is but seems to be brass. It is a small area and I am surprised I have not had any silver either but that is how it is. All sites do not have silver I think I like this manticore better than any other unit I have ever owned.
  7. That's what I thought as well JCR. I am almost tempted to get one and try it. The impact is kind of big and I think an 11 inch DD would fit it fine....maybe even a 13 inch DD would work great The large coil for that impact Nokta makes is way too big IMO.
  8. I picked up a very clean impact here recently. I like machines with large easy see screens these days and this is one of the reasons I always wanted to try one out. While searching through older impact threads and post I thought I read somewhere that the kruzer and anfibio coils would work on the impact as well as long as you wrapped the coil a couple of times before sending it up through the shaft. I reached out to Nokta to ask if the anfibio and kruzer coils were compatible with the impact and they replied that they were not. I was surprised to see this as I have saw several threads mentioning this. Here is a screen shot of the reply back from nokta. Has anyone tried to use an anfibio coil on an impact? Let me know what happened.
  9. It looks like a St. Christopher pendant to me
  10. That's a dang good haul right there!! Get a loop and see if you can make out what the religious medal says.
  11. No I have never done that before. I would not know where to start on that kind of stuff
  12. This is probably less than 1/4 of the trash on the site. Is it roughly about a 80x120 sqft area that the coins seem to be in. I hope some of this being removed will unmask the goodies if any are left.
  13. Yeah I have saw the good luck ones before but never paid attention if any had a date on them either. It was a very neat surprise as the first target. Thanks!
  14. Yeah that's what I do too. I could not believe the amount of aluminum tubing or old window screen frame that was all over the place chewed up by mowers. Found a few live 243 and 308 bullets too. When I get the big junk clogging up everything out of the way maybe the silvers will start popping up!
