Im kinda a backpack junky. Check out REI. For a onetime $20, you can become a member. They have great deals in their outlet and garage sale sections. But, this is kinda high end stuff.

Sunup to sundown is the norm for me, if possible. But often times, during summer, 3-4 hours after work, till dark

I hear ya! Number one reason I bought a 900 , instead of Manticore. An 11 inch coil, is only good for searching for new spots, for me.

Good job

Im in construction, thats my daily routine. Except, I buy cases of water, usually throw 6-7 in freezer at night. That saves me from buying ice.

Man...Im lazy...usually whatever fruit I have on hand, and a fat P&J, gives good energy. Also...I like to detect with guys that bring along way to much food, 😁

What you wrote up Gerry, is why I bought a 900. My Deus is on life support, so ready for new vlf. If the manti had a 6 inch coil, I would have bought one...had one with my name on it, passed on it. Now...if it would only stop raining/ snowing here in Cali...the winter from hell

Couple of nice taps there

You beat me too it. Around here, Calaveras county, thats the worse. I live next too New Hogan Lake...theres a shooting spot nearby, dudes bring in cars, rvs, hundreds of bottles, etc...looks like a landfill. I love to shoot, but find this disgusting.

Yep, ha. Can you imagine, taking one of those HUGE magnets, to a mining camp? That would be awesome!

I have a big rolling magnet, you can get them at the supply house, for about $150. BUT...will really only work on the loose, surface trash. Stuff stuck in the dirt at all, no bueno. You have any friends at a salvage yard?😁

REI buddy. Membership is/was like 20 bucks. This will get you too the outlet section, which has fantastic deals on new gear, and the garage sale section for used gear. I got a 70 L Osprey pack, for $70, like new...new sells for $300.

Me personally, I will never buy a detector from Cabelas.

I got the case, 11 inch coil. Dude held on to the 18. When I asked him about it, since his ad said with coil, he said send more money, and I will send coil. Ive bought and sold dozens of detectors over the years, first time I had an issue. Probably about 10 years ago.

Thats a beauty! Like Bill, the sov holds a special place for me. If I was still doing deep turf, I would still swing it. Best tones ever.
