  1. Steve

    They're getting trickier !🤔

    Links to a couple of sites we use on my forums to weed out the scammers.

    (which is down to almost none now that we took your lead and deleted the zero posters.

    THX for the idea ! )

    We now require 1 post within a month and 10 posts before allowing links.  

    All newbs have to be approved before posting access is granted.

    (I think the 10 post minimum was the most effective part of our effort.) 

     

    Also , The vast majority of our spammers have (had) an email ending in .ru  

    I have a member that was traveling in Russia and I kept allowing them in , thinking he was recruiting new members........not anymore..I  purged their sorry butts.     I just had a thought that their internet  might be restricted right now too ?

     

    The first is an IP lookup that gives several locations . I found that I developed a feel for this after seeing patterns and repeated providers over the first few months.

    This one my IT girl found and uses. I used it only once but she said she liked it.

  2. Just looking at your hunt finds posts wears me out !🤔

    Keep posting though , I can use the exercise and the workouts are building up my scrolling finger. 🥸 

     

    But seriously , It's hard to tell the difference between your Manti-hunt and a GPX one.  It seems you have the new box figured out pretty good.  👍 

     

     

     

  3. If you feel it does not cost a lot and are willing to risk losing it on a possible scam, you are certainly welcome to do so , and we all would love to see it perform as advertised ! Can you get a live demonstration of one before you buy or is a video and the advertising literature all that's available?  Claims of detecting depths over a meter appear with some regularity here on the forums but have never turned out to be true.   

    The cautionary buyer beware responses you have received here are from some of the best detectorists in the world.  I'm sure the major detector companies have Steve's cell number on speed dial .   

    I came here three years ago hoping to learn from the best there is and I am not disappointed  .  

    Good luck in whatever path you choose.

    There are some great deals on a GPX right now.....
