Yes Kac, I'm looking forward to Garret's mf waterproof detector. It could be great. Especially if they can keep it light like the Apex.

Garrett also has all of White's patents which has future ideas and designs. This could put it ahead of what White's detectors were. So why go to the past when you can go to the future. I'm not saying White's detectors from the past are not great detectors. Just saying Garrett has the the opportunity make them better. As we all know engineering can take a very long, long time.

What a great hunt. Great to get out. Doesn't get any better than that. Now get that Vaquero out and maybe you can beat that Compadre! 🙂

I want to see a comparison of the new 12"dd and Nel's Superfly on a T2se.

Darn. I got one in a lake this summer I thought was good and turned out to be plated. It's weird seeing that IH cut in half. I wonder how it was cut so perfect. Still a neat find.

Never heard of that before.

Nice detector and great hunt.

It's a rare 12" coil. Good to hear that it does work very well in the water. I hope there is a detector coming for it for water hunting.

That coil is horrible in the water. It didn't need those fins on it. Is there a reason the middle of the coil is raised up like that? It was a terrible design. Look at the new coil nice and smooth with no fins. Why mention that the new coil will sweep thru the water nice? Unless a waterproof detector is coming out for it. Who wants to take there T2/F75 in the water? Still I look forward to seeing more videos on the new coil. I want one for my T2se. Who knows, maybe the coil will sell more First Texas detectors.

I wonder why the shaft isn't centered on the coil. Being light it's probably ok. To bad there isn't a waterproof detector to go with the coil. I'll be getting it for my T2se.

That would be really great if someone made detector shafts like that. I could image how much smoother the sweeping in water would be. I sent drawing to Dilek to see if Nokta/Makro would make shafts like that. She said she would give it to her engineers. That was quite awhile ago. I don't think it will happen.

Unfortunately I don't get much of that early stuff in northern MI. It's just not old enough here. I've found 1 LC, 1 seated dime and 1 seated quarter. All the rest of my finds are Barbers, Mercs, not many newer silver's, V nickels, Buffalo's, IH's and wheats. Not much of the old stuff. It's just the way it is. Also hard to find new areas. I am surrounded by the beautiful Great Lakes. I live 15 min from Lake Michigan. 45 mins to Lake Huron.

I was thinking about selling my black T2se. With this coil coming out I'm going to have to keep my T2se now. Strange a new coil can add new life to a detector. Also strange no new detectors to replace the T2/F75 & CZ3d but I'll take a new coil. It performed well in the video.

It was a bad coil. It was replaced and is working fine now.

I'm in northern Michigan and it was hot for me. It was 85. The next 2 days will be 90. It's also very humid. After awhile I was looking for shade to hunt under it. If I was alone I would have left earlier because of the heat lol. I can't imagine living out west. It's unfortunate the drought there going through and loosing a lot of water. A lot of wells drying up. I don't know what's going to happen. I'm very fortunate with lots of water. I'm surrounded by the Great Lakes and inland lakes. Israel has invented a device that's called Watergen. It pulls water out of the air in a desert. Maybe that could help the West.

What a great hunt. Congrats on the gold ring.

Soaked it in hydrogen peroxide for about an hour to get the date.

I got a 1916 wheat. My buddy got a silver ring, 1939 wheat, 1964 silver dime, 1905 V nickel. He beat me but I got the oldest wheat lol. Was out in the large field again. The 1916 wheat. I have no photos of my buddies finds.

Interesting coil. Wonder when it's coming out.

I would say it is Manganocrete botrioidal. It is unusual and can make a nice display. Samples:

Also a detector that can see thru iron and emi isn't an issue. That would make all sites hunted out. Except for the deep targets beyond the detectors capability. I wonder if Minelab is working on this?

I think there are a lot of places. You get where you think you have hunted all the place you can think of. And another person has different places to detect that you didn't know about.

For me the Equinox w/ 11" coil starts feeling heavy after 3 hours hunting. I wish it had a light 8" round coil.

Tex, with the Orx I don't hunt general coin/jewelry parks, schools or ball fields. I use it in lakes and relic/old coin hunting so I don't know how well it will work those areas. The plus with the Deus is it has notching and Orx does not. The Orx had 3 tones which could be useful in those areas.

The only thing is the Deus/Orx are so light making it so much easier to detector. I was out the other day for 3 hours with the Equinox 800 w/ 11" coil and it was starting to get heavy. Even with Steve's carbon fiber shaft. I'm thinking of going the other way and selling or trading my Equinox w/ 11" & 6" coils and using my Orx w/ 9" hf coil, T2se w/ Nel Sharpshooter coil and just bought a use Vista X w/ 3 coils.
