Maybe check with your local Minelab supplier just to be safe. It's also consistent with past practice concerning ML price increases. Generally, only the detectors are affected. @Gerry in Idaho is a ML dealer and confirmed the US price increase for detectors in the thread below. Perhaps he can weigh in and confirm that only detectors and not accessories are affected.

I am trying so hard to find the fun part of hunting with it, the only thing that makes me smile is the how compact it is when I take it somewhere. I did dig a rosi today, but I had no idea I was digging a dime or silver, ID was from the 60s to low 80s. I was looking for a wheaty. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/24311-looks-like-m8s-and-m15s-are-starting-to-appear/page/6/#findComment-261349 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did dig a rosi today, but I had no idea I was digging a dime or silver, ID was from the 60s to low 80s. I was looking for a wheaty. I was so excited when (fourth on the waiting list back when they came out) I thought there was NO way I could get one-dude called, said give me your card number now, or I call #5 on the list... shipped 1500, was thrilled, ran it a few times in the yard, sold my 800 and coils, and the CTX and coils.... don't miss the CTX too heavy, but the 800 paid for itself. Got about 30+ hours vs 1200+ in the 800... I'm waiting for that 'aha' moment I had with all the detectors before, you know when you have that time out where you literally ID with 80% accuracy everything you dig. I'm not complaining, just hoping another update, or reasonably priced competitive coils, otherwise may sell it and go backwards ffs to the 800 and its familiarity.... we go with a dude who runs an old Whites.... he does ok, every time we go... with clearly an old, heavy, crap battery, outdated POS, right? ?

I'm at that "aha" point now with calling my targets, but I'm just a beach guy who doesn't have to deal with mineralized soil. I'm pretty darn good with calling all coin denominations, can slaw, foil, bottle caps, pull tabs and tent stakes. Not always, but at least 80% accurate when I do decide to dig one against my better judgement. Sometimes, you just gotta "make sure" it's not something else. Ha! Round coin sized can slaw, broken beaver tails, and pull tabs that read below 29 are tough/hardest to call. Also, a whole aluminum can top or bottom that reads in the 80's will fool you and get you to dig.

Medina Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 All the aftermarket coils I've bought from the various makers I've owned, I never thought I'd be hoping Coiltek brings out something for the mantiwhore like a nice round 4" or 5" for those miles of old iron fence around the old city parks baseball diamonds! 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/24311-looks-like-m8s-and-m15s-are-starting-to-appear/page/6/#findComment-261646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
