Re: Tom - 7 weeks ago
Great information Tom and Chris that's why I always have liked this forum. There's always helpful information on here!by 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Tom - 7 weeks ago
Tom I didn't know that. So I can run the Legend pretty well wide open on disc on 4khz besides iron disc. Good food for thought for sure!by 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Tom - 8 weeks ago
Harold yeah the lower frequencies does tend to false more on nails. I think the 5khz on the CZ's is what made the deep rusted nails sound like a good target on them.by 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Tom - 8 weeks ago
Tom I'm going to give it a try in 4 khz in older sites that have deeper coins. But in modern sites I like the multi frequency option for shallow coins especially nickels. 4 khz isn't that great for nickels and gold jewelry. 4 khz punches deep in bad dirt. The 1266x was deep in my dirt and it ran at 4.8khz I think.by 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Tom - 8 weeks ago
I ran it at 4 khz I didn't try the others but I see what Tom is experiencing. Is it going to make me stop using the Legend nope not at all. I feel that it is possibly one of the best detectors in bad dirt that I've ever used.by 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Tom - 8 weeks ago
So I did test the Legend in multi and single frequency in my 3-4 bar mineralized Georgia red clay. I have a 10" clad dime that has been buried 7 years. In m1 and m2 I get a ID on it in the 20-26 id range. In single frequency I get a ID of 40-46. The depth meter was pegged. So on those deep items I plan on switching to single frequency to check the ID.by 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Manticore Wireless Audio - 5 months ago
Well I think Minelab should have made the Nox 700 and 900 and manticore along with the Xterra Pro compatible with the ML 80's why should customers who own the ML 80's have to buy a different set of headphones. Then on top of that the ML 85's aren't even available to buy yet.. it's one of those what the heck were they thinking moments.by 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Monte passed away - 8 months ago
I really hate to hear of his passing. He was a great guy and was a wealth of information on detecting. Praying for his family during this rough time.by 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Minelab X-TERRA Pro videos (includes wet salt beach depth test) - 8 months ago
I'll be getting one of these! I see it as being a well rounded don't need a engineer degree to operate it type of detectors. I always seem to have more fun with detectors like this opposed to one that you have 50 different settings to adjust and hope you are getting top performance out of it. I'd rather be detecting than adjusting and tweaking a machine half of the time I get to dby 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Tom Tuned Fisher CZ 5 For Sale - 10 months ago
This is Dan Pa's CZ 5 that he had when he passed away. His daughter sent it to me to try and help her sale it. I sent it to Tom to calibrate it and make sure all was good to go. He verified it at 10.7 " in his dirt. The detector shows signs of use but has plenty of life left in it. I don't know how to upload pictures of it on here but send me a private message with your email addreby 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Calabash Digger tests and uses Manticore on salt beach--- eye opening performance - 11 months ago
I second that Woodbutcher in Georgia Red clay you lucky to find a coin sized target over 9-10" max with any detector except maybe a PI.by 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Garrett Ace Apex questions?? - 11 months ago
Keith I never really clicked with the Xterra 705 but I did with the AT-Pro. The Vanquish is a good detector if you give it time it has found me a lot of coins in places that the AT -Pro couldn't find. Rick I had the AT-Gold and I really liked that detector. I just thought that the Apex and me would click after having so many hours on the AT-PRO and AT-GOLD.by 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Garrett Ace Apex questions?? - 12 months ago
I wish ther was someone who was close to the area I live that had one for me to test side by side with.by 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Garrett Ace Apex questions?? - 12 months ago
Tom I don't think the Apex is waterproof maybe splash proofby 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Garrett Ace Apex questions?? - 12 months ago
I'm kinda interested in getting one but I want any of you guys to chime in that have used one to tell me your thoughts. I'm thinking about selling or trading my Vanquish 540 pro pack in order to get one. I love the Vanquish and hope that I wouldn't be making a mistake getting rid of it for a Apex.by 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

I'm surprised that the Tarsacci MDT 8000 wasn't mentioned. Is the Manticore that good?by 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: 3 videos demoing emi using Legend and Deus 2 at 35 feet apart and 120 feet apart - 1 year ago
I've yet to find a place that I couldn't hunt due to EMI using the Legend. I can run the Legend wide open on sensitivity and it's as quiet as a church mouse. I could never do that with the Nox or Deus. By the way my ground is 3 bar dirt and I don't even get any mineral feedback with the sensitivity wide open.by 88junior - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
