  1. Although I will never complain about digging Civil War bullets. Bullets and a Surprise
  2. Yes, but it’s a learning process. Its language is so nuanced, which I enjoy. But, even now, I reach for it over all my other detectors.
  3. And dug some relics. Digging Civil War Relics
  4. Found CW relic hunting today. Anybody know what it is?
  5. I understand everything you say. I’ve owned and used them all including the Manticore and D2. My contention is that, in real world hunting, 32 years of technology has produced few additional finds. In fact in uncontaminated ground, I know that old Silver Eagle will find deeper targets than the D2, Legend, or Manticore. I know because I’ve hunted extensively with all 3 in uncontaminated ground. Also, I didn’t tweak the settings on either machine. I know both can be improved with tweaks. Next, if you didn’t hear the minie ball sound off at 13 1/2, turn up your volume. I don’t stretch. Please understand, if the Legend didn’t have advantages over the other two, I wouldn’t own it. I especially like that it’s waterproof. My main point is that, when it comes to actual targets recovered, the technological advancement in metal detectors is unimpressive. I’m not telling anybody what to use. That’s an issue of personal preference. I’ve chased the technology for over three decades only to discover that I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars for little actual performance advancement. Use the machine you prefer. That’s what makes it fun.
  6. It’s definitely a learning process with this coil. It’s unlike any others I’ve swung, and I’ve swung satellite dish sized ones with the GPX.
  7. Hope to dig targets with it Monday. Double 16 Coil
  8. Would love to join you for some hunting in your beautiful part of the country. Maybe one day.
  9. Yep. 1” last night. First in 42 days. Wednesday, I’ll go see if it made a difference.
  10. Shovel, detector, and pinpointer all in one.
  11. Unfortunately, a generator is required. I realized that after pricing an appropriately long extension cord. 😂
  12. Correction, it hasn’t rained since July 16. 40 days and counting.
  13. It hasn't rained since July 16 and the high temps have ranged from 104-109, so this is the next step.
  14. First of all, the MP V3 was designed for heavily mineralized soils. The MP stands for mineral power. As for gold nugget hunting, I would suspect that the 24 kHz concentric coils would be the best option, indeed a very good option. Concerning using the V3 for gold hunting, Georgi Chaushev messaged me the following this morning: "The MP is the only existing bridge between PI and IB detectors rivaling PI in many regards and outperforming every IB in existence."
  15. Here are some more videos with the Nexus. https://youtube.com/@BeepnDigRelicHunting
  16. Merrill is at the very beginning of the learning curve. Some of what he said was inaccurate. For instance, he said a signal was deeper than the VCO. No signal in all metal is deeper than the VCO. Also, he characterized as “iffy signals” some signals the detector was clearly identifying as iron. Nonetheless, it’s worth a watch as long as one understands he has a way to go before being proficient. But that would be the case with any new user of a Nexus.
  17. This video demonstrates the EMI capabilities.
