If Jeff’s suggestion doesn’t work, you may want to call Andy at the Nokta repair center for advise. Be sure and report back to us in case anyone else has this issue come up.

Try his channel, "The Metal Detecting Skill School".

A good day indeed.

Joan Allen is the Quest dealer in the UK.

I had the same battery concern but so far it has held it's charge and works great. It really is a time saver.

That is a great tool, well thought out. I have carried a magnet in my digging pouch for years & recently epoxied one on the end cap of my pin pointer. Very handy. Nice catch on the Quarters.

A good hunt. Sounds like your honing in on the new update.

Welcome from East Texas.

Enjoy your stay & keep us posted.

Welcome from East Texas.

Those are some interesting targets. The newer detectors that have a Conductive Ground Subtraction option certainly perform better when needed for the conditions. Better than having a Beach mode as the only option for Inland. Did you play around with the option to reduce you Max frequency? You can send some of that rain here. We are too dry for this early in the year.

The Legend's Bottle Cap rejection control also works well for rotten sheet metal trash found around old farmsteads. It actually works better, as 1 or 2 is usually sufficient to break it up.

I try to take my time to compose carefully worded posts , but you my friend write like AI.

Yes, it will hunt in trash if you are slow & patient. We had a past member here, "Geezer", that was his specialty using very low sensitivity & threshold levels.

That is some great resource material. I think you have it corralled. It makes sense iron may have been used for rocky terrain instead of brass.

That was a nice hunt. Get better soon. @mn90403 too.

You dug some interesting targets. I really like the glass. Neat place to hunt.

Ball buttons fit the same historical time frame and were almost always associated with military. Mostly Academy, Militia/Volunteers. I have dug a few. The usually have a Back mark. The raised back on yours is unusual. It also looks slightly oval instead of round.

I'm going with the New York Legion's Guidon staff point.

Yes, it is a very good machine and so easy to run well. The LG35 coil is excellent & I use it quite a bit, even in moderate trash.

That is a neat piece. No real telling but my first thought was a flag staff or big tent pole spike.

3 works well and it pretty safe for coins.

Thanks, Keep at it.

@Joe D. How is the Pantera performing for you?

The Tarsacci is actually a mediocre performer depth wise in mild ground. It needs minerals and/or iron as a background to show the contrast with non ferrous targets. The Salt Balance functions to see through the Conductive fog of salt/mineral water and things like coke or foil. The unit is not like a regular VLF. This gives it attributes and a few quirks. I think you are going to do well.
