This is not a classified ad just a question. When I purchased my Equinox 800 they threw in a Free Minelab EQX15 coil . It's still sealed in the bag. I wanted a pinpointer but the shop I purchased everything at was sold out of all brands. Does this coil have enough value to trade for a pinpoint? Again I'm not selling or trading here just asking if it's worth looking into or offering it for a trade. The store said all he could do is next week he could do a even swap for a smaller coil I think a 8" . All in using now is the included EWX11 .
If you had bought that coil it would cost around $230 to $250, so now you know the new value to help in looking for a trade.

Just curious why you had to reach out to Australia? Did they provide you details USA could not?
So if they could tell the serial number of your detector was one of the faulty ones, did they provide the range of serial #'s so everyone can know?
Glad they could get you taken care of.
I could be wrong but I believe that @phrunt posted at the least the cutoff date of the faulty ones.

Take that broken Snap-On opened end wrench to a Snap-On dealer and they may give you new one, I think they have a lifetime warranty on most hand tools!! LOL

Looks good, I'm glad they ditched the idea of black coils on the final release. I like the ears on it better than the Coiltek's ears.
I'm guessing the outside raised ring on it is showing where the windings are, looks bundle wound like the Coiltek's, be interesting is strick can get his hands on one to give it a good old x-ray.
Hopefully it warms up where you are soon so you can take it for a spin, I'm interested to hear opinions on this coil as it's the one I'm currently not interested in buying, that may change if feedback is exceptionally good.
If you look at the photo again you'll see the outer ring in not raised but instead is down from the inner raised portion, you can tell by the shadow of the "X" portion on top of the coil.

I wanted to hunt a bit before the rain sets in for the next few days. I decided to go to a fairly recent permission that is an early 1900's Farmstead with the house still standing vacant. I have been there twice, once with each of my daughters. The whole yard all around the house is trashed from renters living there. I know there has to be some Old there so I set the Legend up in Pitch with the Tone Break set to 40 and started wading through toward the well house. The first target I dug is pictured. Not all that quiet of a signal (only 4" down) but it was tight and I wanted to see what a 58 was. 1 Troy ounce .999 Silver. You just never know what you might find anywhere. I bet some kid got a good whoopin for losing it.
Congratulations, that an interesting find, I did a search for ones like it and found 3 on eBay, one just like yours with the "CASE XX" for $188.88....
Another but it actually has a number where yours has the "CASE XX", for $149.95....
The 3rd one also has a number and is sealed in the original plastic it came in...FOR...$800...

I wonder about the ones like you have found that has no number but instead the "CASE XX"??

I had no problem with the link working....but for anyone having issues with it here's a link to the story in a news article from 2017.

I'm guessing mudstone/shale, but the "yellow" are plant fossils.
The plant fell onto a prior layer of mud and then another layer of mud was deposited over the plant, then over 1000's and 1000's of years the mud turned into stone.

It's possible the nugget came from the pirate loot...or just as possible it came from someone who lost it after finding it in surrounding states which many of have gold nuggets from either natural gold deposits or gold brought down by glaciers from Canada.
That being said, they should be able to test the gold and compare it to gold from Africa and or Canada, supposedly gold can be traced to it's original source by it's contents, much like the lead cross was tested from "the Curse of Oak Island" to determine where the source of the lead was from.

What was the 352 Emblem off of ❓
Mid 1960s Ford Galaxie, I know for sure it was on a 1966 Ford Galaxie with the 352 engine, but not sure if it was on any other year models that had the 352 engine, and for sure not on any that didn't have the 352, i.e. the 289, the 390, or the 427.
It's a bit hard to see in these photos of 1966 Ford Galaxies, but the emblem is on the fender behind the front tire.

I checked the forum this morning, read all the posts since last night and just before walking out the door to go to work I checked the forum again and it had started, all within 20 minutes or less, 30 or so SPAM posts, I unfortunately didn't have time to report any as I was a bit late leaving for work.

Why is the Axiom excluded from the choices?

I have been searching for a video on tweaking the settings on a GP Extreme. I believe it was a Jack Lange video. It was specifically for the Extreme. Explained the settings to use to maximize the machine to find gold. A prospecting friend of mine had it and I've since lost contact with him. It was in VHS and hoping to find it in DVD.
This isn't a link to the video but it's about the video and explains some of it in writing, maybe you can contact @Doc or he may see this post and he maybe able to help you with a source for the video.

I can’t think of the movie that had good robots 🤖 and bad ones.
If you know what I’m talking about just look at the face on this necklace. It looks so much alike the robot in that movie 🎥.
No I haven’t fallen out of my tree well maybe not.

I think I know the movie you're thinking of... "I Robot" starring Will Smith?
Here's a photo of the robot with Will Smith and his co-star..

Not knowing the size of the flange thing or the material...but it reminds me of the flange of a ball catch, usually used on the top of a door.

That is U.S. I am guessing Matt?
The 30% discount actually says...
"Save even more this Black Friday with a 30% OFF coupon & free shipping within Contiguous United States "
So it maybe 30% off for any place in the world but only free shipping in the USA, you may want to send them an email to confirm if the 30% applies worldwide.

Makes you wonder if Lady Joan Brooks, caught Mr. Thomas Brooks with the chamber maid or some floozy and tossed the ring in a fit of rage!!

Thanks. I figured they'd be common in Europe, but to find any token/coin in California from the early 1700's is quite rare. I see these are sometimes called Jetsons, is that just another term for a token?
It's kind of like large cents in the U.S. They're practically jumping out of everywhere in the Eastern U.S., but in the Western U.S. you have better odds of finding a gold coin. Heck I've dug two gold coins out here, but never dug a large cent (which personally I'm okay with 🙂

Didn't take me long, from a flashlight history website:
From 1901 to 1913 the endcap had a circular type trademark with ER in the middle, the "E" inserted through the "R", and three small points on the outside of the circular trademark band.
From approx. 1913 to 1916, the ER in the middle was changed to "Eveready" in small letters.

I found the same timeline as well for that Logo, here's a website that shows many of the old flashlights, the Ever-Ready ones are from about midway to the bottom of the page.

Isn't that the place where all the old people move to? I just get images of wrinkled up old prunes laying around on the beach in their budgie smugglers when I think of Florida. 🤣
Any where the old people go to retire there has to be an army of the younger generation to run everyday businesses to support the retired communities, someone also has to build the homes these older people are buying, retire people don't work, so the younger people have to do that, there are more younger people in Florida than older people!
There's also a lot, and I mean a lot of agriculture and cattle farms in Florida, the older people don't run those businesses either.

Congratulations but we need photos!!
