Nice find! You're lucky you can get out. I'm snowed in deep. The Gold Racer did it's job of finding gold.

You can weld it back together. Surprising that it broke.

Positive gb the detector runs smoother with less depth. Negative gb makes it hotter, more chatty and can add depth. Some detectors won't increase the depth with a negative gb and work best with ground balance right on. You'll have play around with it and see. I don't know if it helps the Multi Kruzer or not. As soon as the snow is gone I'll try it on Gold Kruzer.

Negative ground balance is setting ground balance number lower. You have it backwards. It is positive ground balance when the coil is moved to the ground and you hear a sound. Negative is when you raise the coil and you hear a sound.

The Tejon in my mild ground the depth increased 1"+ with a negative gb. It would hit my 10" test dime w/ 8" concentric coil. The AT Gold also increased depth to about an 1" with a neg. gb. With the 8x5 coil it would hit a 9" test dime but not 10". How you adjust your gb depends on what king of ground your in.

I think they removed the speaker too.

I thought I had one once but it was a gold colored token.

Treasure hunting is addicting.

That puts it out of my price range.

Analog detectors like Tesoro could be set hot and go deeper with a negative ground balance. It was called power balancing. It worked very well with my Tejon and with an internal adjustment on my Lobo ST. New detectors I haven't seen this working so well.

I was 16, 1972. I got a Compass 77b Pro.

A great place to hunt. Nice photo.

Thanks, it feels good to be back to normal. Sounds funny saying I'm back to normal lol. I'll be posting my finds.

Do you notice how many 1964 nickels you find. I find a lot of that year.

Thank you. I am doing very well. Looking forward to spring. I do take 2 Magnesium capsules a day. Probably is Magnesium Oxide. I'll check the other one. The majority of people are low in magnesium and should take a supplement.

And an anti gravity back device so you can fly away.

I want it for lake hunting but I'll pass on it if it's to heavy. It shouldn't be much heavier than the 11" coil. Unfortunately it probably will be. The 11" coil goes fine in the water without being heavier.

No winter hunting hunting for me. Lakes are all froze. I went out once in early spring with thin breathable waders and the water was so cold I had to get out.

Soak it overnight in hydrogen peroxide. Just put some in a cap and put the coin it. If that doesn't work the last resort would be electrolysis. I found a coin at a railroad station that was solid black. I did electrolysis on it and found out it was a Barber quarter. Wasn't any good only for silver but was nice to know I found a Barber quarter.

I've heard Coiltek is going to make the 14x9 coil lighter. I'm interested in that one but if it's to heavy then I'll pass on it.

Wondering if it might not happen.

Joe, I'm happy to see you're back. I'm going to get a warmer wet suit. My northern Michigan lakes are cold.

That's a nice one.

It sounds good. I'm surprised it not waterproof.

Ok that's good. So in 2 tone or deep mode you can set tone break to 0 if you want and set iron volume to 0 if you want and use notching. Makes me want a Kruzer/Anfibio again.
