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...........................

I thought it was just me ! Just got through the withdrawals too ! Well , guess I'm not going to have to read for a month catching up though ! A couple Son's of the Beach sessions since last post and only found 43 cents , but haven't checked the heavily corroded quarter,,,,but it IS corroded so prob clad ... I've started telling people that ask "have you found anything?" ,,,, "Yes I just found my tenth diamond ring for the day a minute ago ,,, LOOK !" Then I show them the zincolns ......Skuh kuh kuh kuh

The problem has been resolved. An update on things discussed in this thread ................... I just ran across this vid about a clip system for building battery packs without soldering to the batteries. It's about EBIKES but more importantly about connecting lithium cells safely. Seems like something anybody might be able to use without the risk of overheating the cells !

I'm with Lunk , them's "no skunk slippers"...?

Buck Rogers decoder medallion ?

A week that close to a beach on depositor alley. Priceless.? Nice little knife bonus .

OK 40K ,,,,, beer $ is back !

Most non detecting minutes are spent looking out at the waves uptah camp . Of course you need to spend time on inventory LOL , nice watch...

It's a hard job , trying to shield an antenna ! LOL

Have you tried Gaffer's Tape ??? Leaves no residue . (Don't look at the price first , I used to buy it by the case ! ...)

Skuh kuh kuh kuh Gerry , You "Ain't Right" buddy ! Good news ,,, I have a club for that ! You're definitely a "brother of a different mother" ! Hope I get a chance to meet you out on "the patch" some day.... I was half expectin' ta see a pirate with the one arm reference..! (Guess we're all on THAT ship anyhow..)

I've been looking at lithium for my solar set up for some time now... BattleBorn seems to be king ATM but those prices ! Battery tech is growing exponentially , it's tough living on the edge of development . But that was my life for SO many years ! Hard to break the habit now but I try. skuh kuh kuh kuh
