I'm sure they'll eventually turn up. I just received the M15 today so it should keep me entertained for a little while, hitting old sites and seeing what, if anything, comes out.

Anybody know of a secret stash of M8 coils? I can find the M15 but in stock M8s are about as scarce as $10 gold coins to metal detecting.

He was going by what somebody stopped to tell him. Then he looked it up while at the beach. This is the link he found:
"Stay Out of the Water
In general, stay out the water, whether it's salt or fresh water. On the beach, all lands below the mean high-water line are state sovereignty submerged lands. That even means wet sands.
Remember that objects more than 50 years old ar

My buddy has been in the Miami area all week. He brought his 800 to do some beach hunting. He was told and verified online that there's a law about detectors on the beach there. He said you can only detect from the dry sand dune areas to the high tide line. Anything that is in the water or where the water normally covers is supposed to be off limits and illegal and anything over 50 years

My mother had a jewelry store for nearly 20 years. During the 90s and early 2000s, the 2mm and 3mm rope chains and charms were extremely popular in 10k. Her store alone sold hundreds of them in those years. And that was just a little jewelry store in southeast TN. I imagine they were just as popular elsewhere. There ought to be fistfulls of them lost as popular as they were.

I am not a fan of the F Pulse or TekPulse pinpointers. They false way too much, get "hung up" and require turning off and back OK, etc. The Quest Pro is top of the heap for me. Great battery life, sensitivity, and iron ID that actually works.

Has everything one comes with from the factory. Excellent shape and approx 2 months old. This one has less than 12 hours on it.
$1250 shipped in the US. No trades. I'm in pursuit of a new Garrett Axiom.

I have a REALLY nice condition V3i for sale. I do have coil choices/options available for it as well. It only has the AA battery pack...no rechargeable set. It has the wireless headphones as well.
Coil choices are: SEF 10x12, or 9" Ultimate. I do have other coils available as well...6x10 Eclipse DD and 13" Ultimate.
Everything works great! I'm asking $600 for the detector wit

If I found it or something like it, nobody would ever know about it. There might be signs of it...like I might just show up one day with a brand new truck.

I think multi freq is what it is cracked up to be and beneficial. Nokta/Makro made a very nice entry into the SMF detector world. The Legend is no slouch but in my testing, it didn't quite fit the bill for me. That doesn't mean it's not good. I did have a difficult time selling mine though...practically had to give it away, and it had the new carbon shaft upgrade, LG30 coil, et

Ahh that's why I didn't like Apple products. The only thing that works well with them is Apple stuff. Mine took about 5 mins from start to finish.

I'm not Tom but If I remember right, he said the dime was obtainable in the single frequency modes but not in multi freq modes. Whether that has been addressed or not, I have no idea. I know on mine, I barely get a signal on an 8 inch dime in multi or single freq modes in mildly mineralized ground. The Manticore gets it rather well BUT in heavy mineral, neither one of them do worth a hoot

A book by Tom breaking down the settings and functions of the Manticore would be fabulous. Great data. It would be on par with the Jeff Foster books for the DFX and MXT. No redundant filler chapters telling us how ground balance or basic discrimination works.

It has the wireless headphones and control box cover. Has the stock 11 inch coil and the LG30 coil as well. Just not the machine for me. $475 shipped TYD in the US. No trades.

You wouldn't have gotten support or help from a smaller dealer either. All warranty work is handled by the customer directly through Minelab.

I say, in the end, a metal detector is an inanimate object. Having a love affair relationship with one, or a company, or rep for a company is just plain stupid. I don't care which one it is, or who it is. They are tools and nothing more. But I get it. Some of you are into drama and probably idolize that Joy Behar whoohaw from The View TV show too for being your voice.

I think the sour taste comes from the combativeness approach that has been taken. There will always be people that eat that sort of thing up and love it, but at the same time, it turns just as many people away. I can understand being passionate. I've been in this hobby 30 years now. It has taken me to many states, and made life long friends through it. But none of that was based off of

That soil and bedrock is nearly identical to what I have here in spots. Especially at the place I call bullet hill. Instead of having a tub of dirt...it's a 30 acre field full of civil war bullets. Its been my playground and 160 yr old test garden for the last 2 decades. When I first went to Culpeper, VA I had heard about the soil but I didn't know I already had a leg up on hunting i

I'm in the hobby for enjoyment and the thrill of finding stuff. All I'm interested in is what machine or machines will work best for me and enable me to do so. Yes there are a lot of people that enjoy drama and mud slinging. I don't. All I want is product info, and enough of it for me to make a decision of whether I am interested in purchasing said products. As a customer that

If you wouldn't have spent over half the product introduction video doing the same ole drama bashing and company vs company politics, we might have stayed adamantly tuned in. Most people tuned in to see new stuff, and aren't interested in that other talk. If you want people to be better informed about products...spend more time informing about product information vs this whole drama be

Nokta ads on social media the last few weeks taking a dig at Minelab "No, we are not releasing the Legend 200 or 300...". A dig for Minelab's history of adding numbers for machines with newer options and features.
Nokta live video today from the show....releasing basically the Simplex 200 and 300. Except they call it a Simplex Lite and Ultra. With a few extra settings, carbo

I'm not an expert but that's a minie for sure. Civil War Era rifles were indeed rifled and that's one big reason the Civil War was our deadliest conflict. Equipment effectiveness surpassed the military tactics of the day. They were still use to standing in columns and firing point blank at one another. Smoothbore rifles might be accurate out to 75 yards...rifled muskets with mi

Don @ North GA Relics had some Manticores come in this past week. My buddy just got on his list a month or so ago and his unit already came in...he was short on $ and had to pass on it but Don at least got some in.

The Threshers are very nice and loud. You will want to stay away from the Grey Ghosts. They have little volume. Tony Eisenhower phones are probably the best.
