Got the molo workin' Joe ! WTG finds . You definitely have the under water thing tuned in ! Good karma points helping your friend. You're right about side by side detecting like that , benefits both with clues learned. On a "NO beach" , beach . That boat is your ticket !

Coiltek Coils For The GPX 6000 - Confirmed!
rvpopeye replied to Coiltek's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
I don't have a 6000 but reading threads like this one are priceless to me just for the education included in the commentary... some of which also applies to my Nox. Having both Steve and JP 's thoughts on any prospecting subject is eye opening and throw in Trevor with an inside view into Coiltec's thinking.....which reminds me of conversations I used to have with pro audio mfg's engineers which propelled my career like I hope DP will (and is) doing for my MD hobby (OK addiction). Now throw in all the experienced comments by the rest of our group ! It's all "gold" to me ! This DP forum is the best find I've made since I started detecting back in ,,,well my younger years ! 😉 Thanks to all and one more thing.... My friends all call me popeye and I'm a Detectaholic. Possibly a crazy one too !!!! Skuh kuh kuh kuh kuh -

The guy in the article seems to fit in with so many these days only interested in #1... historic sites are typically protected in every country afaik. That said , The site was built before metal was much in use but that doesn't take into account who might have been there since and what might have been buried/lost since then. (as in the links posted) I'm hoping the guy had a cheapo detector though cuz the authorities probably kept it ! 😛

F2 Iron Bias Non Ferrous Targets
rvpopeye replied to Jeff McClendon's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
I'm also trying to absorb all of this. Thx for posting folks ! I still consider myself a newb on the NOX. That old Radio Shack /Bounty Hunter didn't do too much to prepare me for a Nox upgrade... I switched to F2=0 most of the time soon after the update added it because of the discussions back then . Experimenting with raising the # in the user slot for comparisons. Of course I have also forgotten to change F2 after doing resets too ! My newb is finally wearing off a bit but always read these type of posts to cement/replace my "forgotten clues" previously learned. I didn't get nearly as much swing time this year as I was hoping,,,,the old life getting in the way thing again........... Still digging "mostly" everything and it ain't over yet. Was in the 70s last two days here uptah camp . 😎 -
Welcome aboard Milano ! Your english is very good . Better than my french and I spoke only french until I was 3 ,,,, 65 years ago now ! My memere raised me.... I'm green with envy of your farm and all the history it holds. I'd guess that everyone on this forum would like a chance to detect there !! The laws on detecting in France seem quite restrictive , Good Luck hunting for your "lost watch and rings" 😉

A Great Week Just Got Even Better..
rvpopeye replied to Erik Oostra's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Just throw a frozen turkey in , the croc will choke on it trying to swallow it whole ! Hey , it COULD work ! 😉 Option 2 first you'll need a HUGE HOOK on a steel leader and a big rotting fish for bait....🤔 I know that works on sharks. I WISH I could get a hook inna big crock like that ! Too bad your island isn't off MY coast , the fleet would go nuts trying for THAT big one. Course if it was here that croc would be a great white.😏
