Just above nickels in the pull-tab range. The stock coil covers the ground well. -
Garrett AT Max Videos By Hoover Boys
khouse replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
I try and show all that in every video I make. I'm not taking away from anyone making videos. It takes a lot of time, money and effort. Sometimes I come home with 8 hours of video and I then have to watch the whole thing to put the best clips into a 10 minute video. -

I envy the sites this crew are able to secure. All seem like pretty darn good hunters as well. But I couldn't get any feel for the machine with so little live digs. I like more machine and less coins on plugs. Probably just me? Nice videos nonetheless. -
Great news!! This is Whites best kept secret. It's a great machine, Now 100$ less! Sweet.

Great Video Of Park Recovery Techniques
khouse replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
I got that Coin Popper at O'Reilly Auto Parts. It's the Titan brand gasket scraper with a square shank. I then ground a radius on the edge then sharpened it. $7.00 But there are other brands of scrapers that will work. Ebay has the exact Titan gasket scrapers too. -

Thanks Steve for showcasing my video! I never knew my gasket scraper would get so much praise! LOL. -
I have some fittings in hand for a mock up. I have yet to buy the pump as I'm undecided on how to tote the battery around? I first though a light weight li-ion battery in a back pack? But the cost is too high. I then thought a sealed lead lawn mower battery? Those are about 24 to 30 amp/hour and 25 pounds. I think too heavy for a backpack? So now I think I'll float the battery and use that to suspend and support the collection box? Also if I float a battery it might as well be a larger marine battery that will run the machine a long time? So now my thoughts are on the power supply..... I don't want to depend on a Kayak or Boat to bear the weight of the battery either. I'm open to suggestions...............................................................................Oh the pump is 12 volts and rated at 15 amps.

Let's talk about hose, and nozzle size? I would think there must be a good ratio of nozzle inlet to pipe size to reduce clogs? My target size is bullets. Here is a .69 and a smashed canister ball. These would be about the biggest lead pieces I'll suck. Now it's got me thinking about coins!! Yikes! Should I make the nozzle big enough for a Half? I haven't found a half in the water though...... I first though this was going to be a simple project - now it's grown bigger than expected!

I would have the wand in sections so I can add or remove enough to keep it all under water. The shallow bullets can be grabed by hand mostly except for the ones stuck deep in a crack. I'm after bullets too deep for most detectorists. I just wonder if it will have enough power to bring a .69 of from the depths? I was thinking about using a 1-1/4 wand with the end contoured inward to 1 inch. Is that enough difference in size as not to plug often with rocks? Should I bump to a 1-1/2 inch wand with a 1 or 1-1/4 inch entrance? Do you think it would be better to run one 4000 gph pump or have dual 2000 gph pumps feeding the jet from opposing sides?

I see your suction jet is mounted at the upper end of your rig. That is what I was wanting to do with my electric machine. I know if I went with a gas dredge my issues would be solved but want a quiet running machine. I would entertain buying belt drive pump and slapping a 12 volt permanent magnet motor on it. But I haven't seen any "dredge type" stand alone pumps? Have you?
