Still learning it, but I love it. Its very deep, and great separation. I found a fair amount of old coins in pounded parks. I really like the target trace .

That silver is up 500% in the last 21 years, my buying power of paper fiat has lost 50-75% of its value or more during that time. Precious metals are doing their job as buying power insurance! 2024 is going to be a great year for the metals.

In 2002, I placed an ad in the local shopper , for buying silver coins, 3.5x over face. Spent a few grand on that coinage , included buying almost $1000 worth from a fella in his 90's. I still have it, collecting dust, but its still appreciating.

If Minelab made a few small coil sizes available for the Core, They would have a big edge on Deus, which makes NONE. They would also sell more Cores!

If Minelab does not want to make some sizes of coils, can't they make some kind of deal with an aftermarket manufacturer? They need to put the customers first, then the numbers will be there.
( I learned that from being 30+ years self employed)

Today I took out the Simplex, put on the 4 x 18 arrow coil on it, and found my brother in laws $400 glasses he lost in long grass. That coil covers the territory in short order.

Have you noticed the price of constititional ( junk silver)? Dimes almost $4 ea, quarters $8 ea.
5 quarters contain about an oz of silver, $40 per oz. One oz bars are selling for $32.50 oz, paper spot silver $25. Junk silver supply is tight.

Mike K. I have learned so much from your short vid clips. I'm finally getting out with the core, and testing it at my grandparents former homestead. Today I set up the core like you have been running it . Picking thru the iron, I got a broken signal in the mostly 70's , dug it, and out pops a SLQ !
About 6" , no date but plenty of iron stains on it.
Also 2- 7" & 8&qu

Since 2001, gold and silver have gone up about 6.5x
And the dollar has lost how much value since then?
The metals are " dollar insurance."

I just received my folding hinge for the manticore. It took the postal system 11 days to deliver it from Poland. Nice set up. Appears to be made of carbon fibre. I did sand down the prongs a bit as they were very tight going into and out of the square hole.
Thanks , Michael!

I just saw a K Southern vid about a week ago testing a Vista x on his hot ground, banging a 10" dime with the 8" Octagon coil. His ground is not as hot as culpepper, I think he said 4 bar dirt. Vid was made a few years ago. Analog detector.

Here is a vid from CD, pulling non-ferrous from iron. He shows the 2D screen. That screen is definately underrated by alot of users on youtube in my opinion. So much info there, I think I will be using that feature alot when I get out in the field hunting. Fedex is coming today!

Hi Steve.
Years ago I owned a Rutus Detector. If I remember correctly the number scale was 0-120. I detected alot of parks with pulltabs gallore. I dug every target in the aluminum range that locked onto one number. I always dug those. Many times those were rings. Every now and then it was aluminum, but most aluminum wavered between 2 or 3 numbers. My number of found rings went way up that
