I suspect if we met there'd be no lack of things to talk about... 🖖

Guitars and amps and a tron to boot ! Guess you'll have few problem connecting those parts ! Uncle Doug fan ?

Glad you found the gold medal winner ! Now you're a winner too....

Welcome aboard and thanks for bringing this resource here ! I'm sure many members will be very happy to see ya ! It wouldn't be a bit surprising if you get a detector in your hands with all the parts you now have. As the disease takes hold of you , feel free to ask about anything you need explaining for ....we'll get you up and running. AND,,,, Maybe someone would trade you a working detector for some parts ????

Gold medals are usually not really gold but that one sure looks like it IS ! ?? Hope you find the owner.........and she lets you keep it !

I learned this while I lived in Tucson.... Black Widow babies are microscopic so sealing them out is dang near impossible !

A My World analogy... Pro sound microphones , as well as other higher level signal wires use a form of this ("Balanced Lines" ) to cancel out noise in the long , low level signal wiring runs... called "Common Mode Rejection". A stage is a high EMI area ! Each mic wire has one ground (attached at one end only to eliminate ground loops) and TWO hot wires , 180* out of phase from each other.....when they are summed up on the receiving end the identical induced (noise) signals cancel each other out and the audio signal remains but noise (EMI) free. JMHO,,,I suspect the detectors use similar theory to accomplish the rejection.....

Hey you guys knock it off and get back to digging or I'm tellin' DAD !

Gteat Idea Valen's L ! One detector in each hand ! A 6K and a NOX ,,,,,,,,,probably find each other fer sure ! Now ,,, we just need a volunteer to try it out ! Where'd Calabash go to ? Heeeyyyyyy Simon ...

Cool ! Ya got it !🤞 Sorry 'bout callin" yer Fisher a Garrett , I didn't mean to but my brain doesn't like working in the heat ! LOL Good luck cleaning up after that fair ! Your NOX is waiting.....

I'm actually a good whistler , so if this works ,,,do you want form a duo and be able to defeat all other detectors with our combined "aural magic sauce"??? skuh kuh kuh kuh maybe Valen and Bethany could join the band and we'd have a #1 with a bullet hit ! Chase could take Kasey's place as MC !!! But seriously , it's good to see Bethany found her perfect detector and we all know how well Mr Valen's Legacy is doing with his 800 these days !

Jerry's classes in the field are a great way to learn the "little tips that pay" ! I'd take one if I was closer just to see what I'm missing .....

I don't think it will make any difference unless the machine is detecting guitar solos with lots of panning like EVH etc.....LOL Wear 'em which ever way you feel more comfy with. I'd be concerned with signal delay when using Blue Tooth wireless models but left/right will only be needed when detectors come in stereo..which I don't think any do ?

Every detector has a learning curve . Did you trade the 800 for the Vanquish ? Or keep them both ! You're doing fine. Keep at it and good luck on your hunts. Hey 350 , I hope the whistling helps ????????? (that might require a new thread..........)skuh kuh kuh kuh

Welcome aboard the Crazy Train , all aboarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd ! Lots of forum dwellers from your neck of the woods , pull up a chair around our virtual campfire and ask all yer questions ! The lock down thing put a crunch on all of us. Good time to do research and make plans.......

Welcome aboard Pinger. Remember one thing... No detector will find things just by itself , you have to move it over something first ! LOL Any detector will find a gold ring if it's below the coil (and not too deep). I'm assuming the Garrett isn't finding much so the search for something else ? It may prove to be better than you thought when you get over some good stuff , don't give up on it yet , even if you do get something else. Every detector can work , just some work better under certain conditions... Many of us have more than one detector for varying locations. The adjustability of something like an Equinox or Simplex isn't always needed..but sure hard to beat in difficult soils. Have you tried setting up a "test garden" at your local sandy water spot to see what's what with the Garrett ? The difference between an ocean beach and a lake or stream one is SALT ! Salt will complicate matters some.....multi Q , like the Equinox (and some other's have) is a good weapon against the salty stuff. Plenty of reading to catch up on all the info posted here , you'll get there eventually ! I took several months , probably still not there, and with the recent down time I feel like I have to start all over ( so much being posted daily too) . Happy hunting and keep us posted on how it's going...............

Very nice permission to hunt on fer sure ! Unhunted land IS the best ! (I've heard some people will actually BUY a property to get a permission.🙃.hope there's a huge cache buried in the backyard !)

Glad your 6000 hunt went well. Must have been nice to be home again. And I guess the same applies to being back in the lower I missed the forum too but It DID give me enough time to catch up on my technical journals and reno another wall on my RV ! Hope we didn't mess up the sandbox too bad while you were adventuring uptah camp.

Welcome aboard ! Sounds like you'll fit right in here. (Do ya have any maps with an X on 'em ya wanna share with us ??? Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)

You done good ! Keep at it....

Well , you found some good stuff fer sure ! Some day I might find gold ............................

True dat Chase.! The Nox battery is just gonna have to be replaced with MFG spec. for now..... I like the clips for the no solder feature though . Good to see someone at least trying to come up with solutions , they'll get better and more battery problems will be solved. Lithium being replaced by a different chemistry is gonna happen eventually and this issue will be put to bed.

That monkey sure is working for ya !

Good dig location ! It's now illegal to walk the tracks here...I'm gonna try anyway.....

DP is back ! Yup yup yup yup yup yup yup yup...........................
