Hi,,,,I'm not Dan,but could it be the shape of the sinkers?....I'm thinking the sinkers would or could have a tendency & ability to roll more with the wave action on the bottom compared to coins....Without actually seeing and witnessing your situation I'm just giving you a speculative answer.....Good luck.....JJ

Hi,,,Realistically I would expect most dealers should be selling these below the retail price but this is usually not the case....I'm waiting for the R2 to drop in price since the Impact is coming out very shortly...........JJ

Hi,,,,Thanks for the informative settings post........I'm inclined to ask the $64,000 dollar question.....How many copper nuggets did you find after discovering your secret settings????..........JJ

Hi,,,,The Fisher CZ-3D features a 4-tone audio I.D. system that produces a 200 Hz Iron, 350 Hz Foil, 450 Hz Tabs and 1 KHz Coin I.D. tone. In addition to the four I.D. tones, the CZ-3D produces a bell tone audio signal for large, shallow, overload signals.....Hope this helps.....JJ

Hi,,Personally I don't think I would buy a used detector without an air test being done...It's a lot harder to get a detector dealer to do one on a new machine....Most (99.9%) of my comments above were geared towards the use of a VLF machine....Adam in regards to this:::::"Air testing will show a machine's depth potential. So if one machine air tests at 8", and one tests

Hi,,,,You will see an obvious affect on a Garrett AT Pro when shifting the ground balance settings, especially between high & low conductor objects as far as depth goes in an air test....Tesoro actually gives instructions in their manual for the ground balance settings when doing an air test, there's more etc....Below is some food for thought that you can chew on....

Hi,,,,Toxic chemicals definitely don't preserve coins and practicing no till farming only compacts the soil around the coins, so it speeds up the corrosive effect on the coins....One of the by-products of fertilizer etc. is salt, that's why a farm field site may sound very irony or full of nails when wet or moist....Salt increases the conductivity of objects in the ground especially rus

Hi Pimento,,,,Hey it took you long enough to get on here and dispute my latest opinion.....You always come out when I post an answer and try to dispute what I said.....I was just sitting here waiting for you to say something,,I actually told my wife that you would when I made my reply....First off the poster never mentioned EMI.....So now you are saying that EMI is a welcomed intrusion while some

Hi,,,I would work on this theory and maybe use it to your advantage...."Coin concentrations I dug 17 coins in one hole, and right after that 6 in another." .........Could this of been home plate????...........JJ

Hi,,,,Specifics Bob (from the movie Phenomenon) I don't know why people are trying to complicate the question ever further by adding the EMI factor.....Okay, with all things being equal (EMI etc.) a detector will not go deeper in the ground than it air tests at.....A PI & VLF detector that air tests equally will probably share equal in ground test too, under low ground mineralization con

Hi,,,Over 60 silvers is pretty impressive, a picture would be nice...Was this all found in one trip???? This spot sounds like you found the ball diamond.....Paper cups were probably being used at the time......JJ

Hi,,,,,"The old Fisher site in California had a carefully designed and constructed test bed with several different sections where they imported different soil minerals so they could emulate almost any mineral condition besides alkali or salt water.".......JJ

Hi,,,,Minelab use to have on their web site that a machine can't go deeper in the ground than it's air test....For some reason that page disappeared....I think when a rumor got started about Minelab's not air testing good but going deeper in the ground is when that page went bye-bye....I do believe that they lose a lesser amount than most machines do....A metal detector won't

Hi,,,,I have one, they are bulkier and seem to feel heavier than the 1266/1265....They go pretty close to the depth of the 1266/1265 and do run a tad quieter than the 1266/1265...The addition of the iron discrimination control is a plus on them.....They also suffer from the discriminator or discrimination not working correctly at a distance....The good news is these 1200 series can be made/modifi

Hi,,,,This kinda sucks, I was hoping the three tone was just a straight 3 tone modulated audio....I hate VCO audio and would not be interested in it at all..........JJ

Hi,,,,If you think of metal detecting like playing a guitar....You could read every magazine/book available in the world....You could watch videos/dvd's until you was blue in the face....You could read everything on the guitar/music forums a gazillion times....You could listen to every word Tom Dick & Harry and even Mary has to say....You could have the ability to read any or all of the

Hi TSS,,,,"If we dialed the clock back to the 1970s and early 1980s time frame,,,,were the detectors back then better performing or worse compared to say copper or silver??".........The CZ's did not come out until the 90's....LoL....All of my machines were lower frequency machines they were hotter on silver & copper and weaker on nickels....I did not find that many nickels

Hi tabman,,,,You seem to be confusing a hot detector with a properly tuned one....The older 3D's with the 1021 or 1121 serial numbers on average will be deeper but not always....Some of the newer ones have good depth too....A hotter deeper machine don't make it a better machine....Mine is not the deepest one out there but it also RARELY falses on iron/nails and runs very smooth and stab
