The diamond looks more valuable than the gold with it's cut. One doesn't find a heart shaped diamond very often.

I got a $750 offer for it but looking around more.

Great find and once again good luck on your next hunt.

Nice going! Looks heavy and a big diamond.

Anyone ever get a grunt of -1 on a nickle?  Hunting in beach2 on wet sand swfl.

Good luck on your next outing.

Thanks.  You give that GOOD luck!  Here's another platinum ring with diamonds i got on my next outing!!

I absolutely love the extra ground coverage it gives me. 

Still playing with the settings, today it was running smooth at 18 sensitivity/4 recovery speed underwater and 23 sensitivity/4 recovery speed in the wet sand. 

After scoring 3 .925 peices doing up and downs on the shore line (found a rusty screw line not a coin line lol), I decided to continue them into the water.  Low tide was half an hour away and dawn was slowly approaching. 

About 10 feet in, on my first line into the water, BAM! Solid 9, 2-4 inches down.  The excitement start flowing through my veins.

First scoop, Cartier platinum ring. 🤑

Gotta love that Fresh Drop Factor.

I think there is zinc in that connector! 🙄

The company responded and the connector is chrome plated.

Thanks for the replies yall, ill get to thr store and let you know how it goes.

I think it's the fault of the manufacturer for using a corrosive terminal on a waterproof headphone, seems pretty silly.  They should be made out of at least gold plating.

There are sprays that may help like this one http://news.demesne.ie/prevent-rust-corrosion-qoil

When we used to live near the coast I had to spay that stuff on my outdoor light fittings to prevent them rusting up and the lights stopping working.  It did the job, a spray inside the socket and a spray on the bulbs metal and all was well.

Maybe just put some silicone grease on the thread area and the bit that's already rusty to try stop water getting in there in the first place.

Thanks Simon, I appreciate the tips.  I subscribe to you on YouTube. 

I think I'll contact the manufacturer.

I'm not too familiar with this stuff and weary of using something that will deteriorate the o-ring inside of the machine.😟

How can I prevent my headphone jack from further corrosion?

A little back story. 

I'm submerging my equinox 800 about 2-3 times per week in saltwater (Florida gulf coast).  

Purchased the LS PELSO headphones October 11th (1 week shipping) and as you can see they have already started to corrode. 

I don't take the headphones out and wash the jack EVERYTIME. (Trying to avoid this)

Please leave a comment, let me know what you do, and what you think will work for me! 

Thanks 

May I ask what you used to record the audio and graph it like that? I'm looking to start a little project by making a "target id bible".  Have those images placed in a database or something and then when I'm hunting I could create a program that matches the tones to what I have in the database.  

Thanks

What's the facial mirror for?

I would like to see a "smart detector".  One that becomes more intelligent the more you use it.  Collecting data about each target and using an algorithm for a more accurate ID.  

Soil condition, reactive signal,  resistive or loss component, shape and strength of the  eddy current are just some of the factors that determine the ID of an object. 

These could be captured and after digging up the target, the user would input what the target was.  Perhaps a secondary number like the ctx 3030 would then display what the target would be based on past targets.

The machine would become "smarter" the more it is used. 

I'm not asking for too much am I? 😝

This is a good idea...I've been unscrewing them when switching from the 11 to the 15.

I enjoy digging...It's the anticipation.

Dredging......Most public beach's or area's that is consider illegal. 

That being said I have done mining, digging holes, moving rocks, sifting, using a floating sifter. I've even used a seadoo scooter to blow out areas then metal detect them. 

At 68 now I just like going hunting, not bringing along a arsonial of things to transport.

 

you're right, if I take an arsenal with me it might take the fun out of it.  I had a target today that I had to give up on over being 20+ digs into it.  It got me thinking about how to recover targets more effectively.  Thanks for your input Joe, I hear you're a legend.  I think I heard gigmaster mention your name, nice to meet you.

It may work in very sandy areas, but the shells and rocks would clog a small pipe. Increasing the pipe size means more power and greater visibility. You'd get spotted in a heartbeat. I dream of that unit attached to a small boat with the detector below it doing all the work for me 😄. Would be nice to do it on private land in ponds.

 

I was thinking maybe a nemo blue attached to a 3-4" pvc pipe that emptied into a collection basket of some sort. Perhaps even some sort of wet vac too would work.  Maybe its over the top but the ideas start running in my head and I can't stop them 😀

Hey everybody,

I'm wondering if anyone has had success in applying Bernoulli's principle to recover recent drops in shallow water on the beach?

Something like this but scaled down:

I was thinking something simple like some pvc pipe and a submersible water pump could do the trick.  The tesoro coils look like they would work well with this due to the hole in the center.  

Trying to save my aching joints from chasing those floaty pulltabs, pennies and nickles. 

Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Gotta dig the 1's!

I'm still quite new to metal detecting, only a couple of months so bear with me.  I figured I'd post here instead of making a new thread, since my question is about threshold.

Take the threshold you hear on a sovereign gt:  Is the equinox vdi just a translated version of that into beeps and boops?

I tried using it today in all metal, threshold did not blank when I came across a target.
