Re: Garrett Announces they will acquire Whites Electronics - 1 year ago
I wonder if they'll use anything from the v3 platform. I certainly hope so.by coinhunterseth - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Has anyone used ARA Gold refinery? - 2 years ago
I've used them before. I can't compare them to anyone else though because that was the only time I've had any gold to scrap. The price was close to my calculations if I remember correctly, and everything was fast and simple.by coinhunterseth - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

This thread shows scans of the transmit frequencies. The peaks in the transmit wave match up with pimento's frequencies. IDK if they are all processed though.by coinhunterseth - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

I *think* that I've read that they use 2 frequencies, approximately 2.5 khz and 25 khz. It's been a while since I read about them, but I think I saw that in a post made by Geotech (Carl Moreland?) somewhere.by coinhunterseth - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Just cut the crap... - 2 years ago
He's got an excellent point. Hopefully I like the Equinox enough that I won't want to use anything else.by coinhunterseth - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: New Fisher Manta - 2 years ago
I prefer to use tone ID versus a screen. Though by that I mean tones that modulate and blend, not having 50 tones for example. The proportional audio on the Garrett AT series is basically what I mean by that. If someone could put the audio from an AT Pro on a modern platform that would be my perfect detector.by coinhunterseth - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: On my mind -- Random Thoughts - 2 years ago
Isn't the 100khz operating frequency why the older TR machines ignore/see through nails that way?by coinhunterseth - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: ON THE HORIZON = MDT-8000 - 2 years ago
I know that this is primarily a beach detector, but I have seen a few posts about using it for relic hunting. For dirt hunting, what does this detector have to offer? Does it only have an advantage in highly mineralized soil? Thanks, Sethby coinhunterseth - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: What detectors have you gone back to ? - 2 years ago
I don't know if this counts, because I never got rid of it, but for me it's my AT Pro. I've had it for about 5 years now, and none of the other machines I've used since then have clicked with me the way it has though to be fair I've only used two other high end detectors since getting it due to being an unemployed teenager for most of that time; a V3i and a Multi Kruzer.by coinhunterseth - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: What do you keep besides the valuables? - 3 years ago

Re: Here's the new Minelab Equinox - 4 years ago
I think this detector is being over hyped. People should wait until seeing some actual performance before assuming it will obsolete all other mid range detectors.by coinhunterseth - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: NEW GARRETT AT MAX - 5 years ago
It looks pretty lame. The thing that concerns me the most is that they say it has pulse width audio, not proportional. I hope the terms are interchangeable, but I feel they might not be.by coinhunterseth - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: New Garrett - May 6th - 5 years ago
I bet it will be the new top of the line. Take some of the gti features, multi frequency, all the good from the AT pro/gold, and have something that will compete with the rest of the market. I'm hoping for something very, very good.by coinhunterseth - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: How Well Will The Nokta Fors Relic Work On Wet Beach Sand? - 5 years ago
I don't know about the relic, but your AT Pro should work ok. I've never taken it into the surf however. Did great on the dry sand, no steel bottlecaps. Of course, you'll be using your Mojave on dry sandby coinhunterseth - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: What's really going on with the Impact..??? - 5 years ago
That sounds crazy to me, because I would describe proportional audio as both tight and clean (at least on good targets). You just made me want an impact even more than I do alreadyby coinhunterseth - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
