Yessss! I'd love to have a D2 Program Editor of the computer! I use one to program and edit my digital guitar effects pedal and it makes life so much more easy.

So would this be a FMF version able to use the D2 remote? That would be very interesting to see. I know nothing abut two-box detectors, but wouldn't it need to use very low frequencies to punch down feet instead of inches? Just curious about all this.

Dang, F350, more stunning finds, very well done again! That "cutting board" large cent has to be a super rare find and another Reale too! Just incredible hunt, congrats! SInce we haven't got the "WOW!" emoji I requested, so I made my own, so here ya go...

That's a little beauty, congrats Dcraun, well done!

Great gold finds, strick, well done! I've seen rings like that, but they usually have initials in script letters on the face. The initials may have been removed from that one, or maybe they were never added on.

I was wondering the same thing, if you have two WS6s, can one be used as a Master and the other paired to it for heaphones. I was looking to make a D2 Master setup with the WS6 that came with my D2 full remote package to have a second D2 rig. I thought about getting another WS6, but when the WSA II came out it was a much more cost effective option, so I snagged that instead and I actually like it better with the headhpones attached than the WS6 because it's lighter and less bulky. And since the WSA II puck can also drive wired earbuds and other wired headphones, it's the perfect accessory for the D2 and WS6 Master rigs. Well done XP! 😎

Very interesting find. It is clearly an alien fuel token. 😉

Wow, great finds on your "hunted out" permission, and that Barber quarter is just beautiful! Well done indeed!

Not for me, but I can see why Quest would be interested, specially if they can sell a subscription service for the phone app to make the detector work. Sounds like a money maker, but not for use in real world detecting, so no thanks.

That's the 65cm one for the shorter diving shaft. The 115cm is what you want for the full size shaft.

Yes, very good information that translates to all detectors. Excellent conversation!

Oops, forgot to show my trashy trash. Gots to keep it real as the kids say! 😆

Thanks, F350! I'm still experimenting with as many programs as I can now that I am getting better aquainted with what all the settings do and how they interact. I do have your Reaper program and Rattlehead's Silver Slayer permanently installed, but I am really gelling with a wide open Fast in PWM Full Tones. If I'm in an area with fewer targets, I'll run a modded Silver Slayer (Fast) with Notch to 30 and no upper notch in PWM Pitch Tones to ping me when there's a solid target to check. In an area with lots of trash and targets and on relic sites, I like to use wide open Fast with PWM Full Tones to be able to hear all the different sizes and conductivities of the targets present and good targets seem to pop through and iron is pretty easy to tell as well. In my local parks I have to "pop" targets and do small surgical extractions on deeper targets. In the other town, shovels are considered okay to use, but I just used the pop and SE methods because I'm use to it. On relic sites, my Root Slayer Nomad does all the work. 😉 Thanks Lodge Scent! FT hit as well as the other programs on shallower targets, but the really deep ones were just not as clear in my ground. I was running the stock Sensi FT program with Disc at -6.4, but Notch off, Sensitivity at 96, Silencer at 3, B-Caps 0, Reactivty 3, and Audio Response at 5. I run my Fast Full Tones with Disc at -2.0, Notch off, Sensitivity 96, Silencer and B-Caps 0, Reactivity 1.5-2, and Audio Response at 5. Now that I look at that, The Reactivity at 3 in Sensi FT may have been too high for deep targets. I may have to test that again with a lower reactivity.

Last weekend I was invited to go detecting at an old city park in another town near me. That park was famous for silver coins back in the day but some are still found there from time to time. Since I've been working on trying to develop deep settings and train my ears to hear the deep faint signals, I jumped at the chance to go hunt silver coins. I've been mainly using a wide open Fast program with PWM Full Tones and a wide open Deep HC in PWM Pitch Tones. I also wanted to test Sensi FT to see how it would compare. When we arrived at the park there were two other club members already there, so we moved to the far end of the park. My hunting buddy has found quite a few old silvers in this park and pointed out some of the places he has done well in and disappeared over a hill. I hunted in Fast Full Tones and checked targets with Deep HC and Sensi FT. The ground there is fairly mineralized, similar to my town but maybe a little less. Fast was going deep and I was hitting some really faint 89-92 signals. Deep HC hit them too, although it seemed to false on iron a little more. Sensi FT struggled on some of the deep targets, but generally hit them, although some didn't sound as diggable. Overall the wide open Fast Full Tones program sounded better and revealed iron better (to my ears) than Deep HC or Sensi FT. Sensi FT did great on shallower targets, but didn't sound off as well for me on the deeper targets. I'll have to do some tweaking on that and try it again. Unfortunately, in the 4 hours we were there, neither of us hit any silver coins, but I did manage to pull some deeper copper memorials and a Wheat Penny. My buddy found 4 wheats and a buffalo nickel. At one point I hit a solid sounding 35 and thought it was a small can slaw or folded up foil, but it sounded a little too good so I dug it anyway and found a tiny silver earring. It has some stones on it with light pass-through holes in the mountings, but my diamond tester died so I'll have to wait until the replacement arrives to test those. So while no silver coins that day, the D2 did hit a little silver... literally. 😎

I love the buds for summer, but I got the WSA II-XL full sized headphones for winter and they actually make pretty good earmuffs. I can wear my ballcap and the XLs under my hoodie with no problems at all.

Your GPX spanks it again, sohN, well done! That's interesting about the Manticore performance. I would imagine there will be some updates coming out for that. It's also interesting that you find so few zinc pennies. Do you just throw them back into the ocean so they can completely dissolve or rebury them for the tourists to find? 😆

Nice job on the copper coins, Zincoln, that IHP is stunning! Well done!

+1 on what F350 and Chase said. I use the puck with headphone plug adapter in a little pouch snapped on to the back of my hat so I can use my favorite JBL earbuds. It's light, airy, and out of the way. Works for me!

I didn't really like Park at first in my parks (go figure) because Fast does really well in them, but I'm going to give Park another look for some spots. I was playing around with settings in the back yard today and was really surprised how quiet it was and still hitting everything compared to some of my less filtered programs running hot in the EMI soup of the neighborhood. Of course one of the reasons it runs so quiet is the lower weighted frequencies with a top frequency of 24 kHz like the Relic program and lower frequencies are less affected by ground noise and mineralization. I'm going to tweak it a bit and try it out again.

Those are beautiful pieces, Bootscrape and yours too, Zincoln. Thanks for showing those. Like most relic hunters, I have bags and boxes of such items that I've never tried to clean, mostly for fear of damaging them. Now I want to learn more about how to safely clean these types of finds.

Great "last" hunt with the Nox and 10x5 coil, GB, it's a fitting farewell. I know the Manticore will serve you well and there will be 8x6" & 12x15" coils coming out for it so that will be a formidable arsenal for you. Happy Hunting with your new Mandy!

Way to go Capphd! You did a great thing and made someone very happy. You are a credit to the hobby!

I have no problem with buying off of Amazon and, in fact, I bought my D2 off of Ebay for a great price from a well known authorized dealer. Many reputable dealers sell on Amazon and Ebay and ship themselves rather than letting Amazon warehouse their stock. You just have to check the seller name on the listings. If the seller name is Amazon, it may be product warehoused by Amazon, but from many different sources. If the seller name is a dealer name, chances are good that they ship from their store.

We just deal with the hand we are dealt, right? I hunt relics too and feel your pain when it comes to iron falsing. When I suspect iron falsing, l do the wiggle off to find the edge of the iron and if the high tone is at the edge, it's probably big iron, but if it's over 90 ID, I dig it anyway. Some older iron relics can be pretty cool finds and it could just be hiding something even better. 😎

Wow, great finds again, F350! Of course the coins are to die for, but that star is awesome and looks really, really old. The brass s-shaped thingy reminds me of a trigger guard on a small flintlock pistol or pepperbox. Well done again!
