A plug for NASA Tom's video (Inland Coin and Relic Hunting)...

I have begun watching NASA Tom's video titled "Metal Detecting Real World Techniques Inland Coin and Relic Hunting." What an incredibly educational video. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of teaching in this video (though not surprised at all, given that it's NASA Tom's video!)

I cannot recommend this video highly enough, for any of you who do not own/have not seen it. It is a terrific production -- absolutely terrific.

Steve

Thanks for the 'plug' Steve.

Now.........Wally. Start selling more of these videos so we can continue to pay for this web-site.

yes wally, we are waiting on a certain dvd to be released!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

seeker -- fill me in. What DVD is that? I'm out of the loop, I guess...

Steve

Yes, the Real World Tech DVD is great, as all of them. I especially like the on film hunt of Tom in that old lot finding all those keepers (especially the gold ring and Barber quarter). Lots can be learned especially for the CZ user there!

Yep. NASA Tom, must have been hard containing your excitement as much as you did, for filming's sake, when finding that ring and that Barber...

You are right, Aaron. Pushes me a little MORE in the direction of wanting a CZ...

Steve

The CZ...........by far...........is still my primary 'deep old-coins' detector. Wished I could say it was the E-Trac.............but it is not.

NASA Tom --

Obviously you choose the CZ over the E-Trac because, in your soil, for your style of hunting, it performs the best for you. I'm curiuos as to whether some of the reason the CZ is the "trump card" for you, is due to your intimate knowledge of the CZ, how it operates, and why it does what it does, as opposed to the more "secretive" FBS platform -- but I'm guessing that's not all of it. Can you briefly lay out what specific performance you get from the CZ that you DON'T get from a Minelab FBS machine that makes the CZ your "go-to" deep coin machine (except in some bad soil, as you have shared in the past).

PLEASE Wally, start selling the new beach video for all of us that have the other video already.

Thanks.

Steve,

In my dirt ..... the CZ is simply (very slightly) deeper on silver coins.......and with a more 'positive' ID. With the E-Trac.... IRT the audio on a deep silver coin.....I seem to have to 'work them up'. In other words......the first/initial hit on a deep silver coin is a bit lower than it should be......incongruent with the high conductivity of silver......and requires a few more passes to coax......then the Minelab will start to raise to a higher 'silver' tone conductivity. The CZ hits on a high tone right from the start.....on first pass.

Change to a bad soil matrix............and the Minelab immediately becomes the prefered choice.

If the Minelab was just 1% better than the CZ.............. I would immediately switch over to the Minelab. Life is TOO short...............and............I now know that I have more years 'behind' me...than I have 'ahead' of me. Do it right the first time.

Thanks, NASA Tom. Very clear and straightforward answer to my question, makes complete sense. I know what you mean about having to "coax" the info out of the Minelabs...

Steve
