Re: Fisher 1236-X2 for sale - 6 weeks ago
It's better in the nails than a lot of the newer detectors out there, it don't false very much on iron plus depending on where you set the disc it sees all the non ferrous stuff, I pull little bits of foil and a lot of those 22 shell casings out of the nails all the time.by coinspader - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Dilek just dropped the gauntlet - 2 months ago
When there is a strong competition between 2 great metal detector companies the winners are the people who use the machines, when they keep trying to top each other we get great detectors at reasonable prices. Capitalism at its finest.by coinspader - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Clearing out some detectors if anyone's interested. - 3 months ago
I don't use USPS unless I absolutely have to, I use U.P.S., they are cheaper in most cases and they are faster, I have sent packages from here in western PA down to the Carolina's and they get there in 2 to 3 days. You can pay for the shipping cost on their web site and print the labels on your printer and just find out where the drop offs are located in your town, or you can schedule tby coinspader - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Big 4 Compared - 4 months ago
I don't think you could go wrong with any of those detectors, I think it just comes down to personal preferences anymore, there isn't an awful lot of performance difference between the new releases. That's my take on it.by coinspader - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Iron Bias/Iron Filter - 6 months ago
I believe XP uses a silencer setting on their single frequency detectors to help deal with iron infestation, it is comparable to iron bias is it not?by coinspader - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: F19 first hunt - 8 months ago
F19 is fun and easy to use, we just had the little yearly county fair in the park close to my house and the day after it was over I took my F19 with a Mars Tiger coil attached to it and vacuumed up all the fresh drops, I only got a little over 3 bucks in change plus a cheapie bracelet and an ear ring but it was a lot of fun because I didn't have to wear headphones or dig any holes. It was aby coinspader - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Fisher F19 - 8 months ago
Yes I agree with Keith, the Patriot is great in the iron and when you get into more open areas it will get awesome depth, and it doesn't suffer from EMI very much in my experience with it. One of my favorites.by coinspader - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Fisher F19 - 8 months ago
The target ID is also very good on the F19, great detector for trashy areas with the 5x10 DD coil.by coinspader - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Legend video request? - 10 months ago
Have you compared the depth of the 2 coils yet? Also how much difference in recovery speed and separation is there between the 2? I may have missed those video's if you already did them. 6 inch vs 11 inchby coinspader - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

WOW Great review, I got one coming to me this week that has been updated to version 1.09, after reading this review I am glad I pulled the trigger. I am mainly a coin hunter in the parks so it sounds like it is right up my alley.by coinspader - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Geophysics observation - 11 months ago
I guess the hot dry days of summer are more conducive to finding older coins, this bares out for me as both walking liberty halves I have found were during the dry spells in the summer in spots that had been gone over many many times. Both were found with minelab explorers by the way.by coinspader - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
