Re: Legend vs equinox 700/900 for beach - 1 year ago
Not sure who would go to a beach, dig a 15.8 inch hole just to bury a nickel and then try to hit it with a metal detector? Lol.. Hell,if that person was going to the beach to play I'm thinking a plastic bucket and shovel woulda been alot cheaper than a minelab manicore ..lmaoby Woodbutcher - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Dilek just dropped the gauntlet - 1 year ago
I've been at this a long time, and I'm pretty sure my finds are just as good as any other hobbyist on these forums. I don't consider myself an expert,and I'm not a narcissist telling everyone that my opinions are facts... But there seems to been a few hobbyist doing that in the last 5 years, on this forum and every other forums ..It's a hobbie ,that's it.

Re: Dilek just dropped the gauntlet - 1 year ago
Nokta/Makro is the only reason these other companies are stepping up to the plate and reworking they're old tired tech. .. Minelab is starting to get like Fisher, putting out a watered down equinox and calling it a Xterra Pro...And XP deus did it too with the ORX .... You guys ought to be giving Nokta/Makro credit for making these other tired companies get off their asses and get back in thby Woodbutcher - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Minelab X-TERRA Pro videos (includes wet salt beach depth test) - 1 year ago
I hope your right,I hope for $269 we all see $1000 dollar performance and discrimination. Notice I keep saying discrimination, cause that's were these companies seem to suck at. Almost all newer machines released in the last few years are relic ,dig it all machines.. Minelab has the best discrimination in the business,FBS, ,,but they've left that behind I guess to appeal to the relic huby Woodbutcher - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Minelab X-TERRA Pro videos (includes wet salt beach depth test) - 1 year ago
TN,thanks for posting the video...I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say your getting a machine with $269 dollars worth of performance... I can make any machine look good,or bad in my test bed,and in controlled tests ... You get in the field and find out the discrimination actually sucks,start digging lots of high toned trash,etc..I like minelab,but a $269 machine is still a $269 machine, bby Woodbutcher - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Calabash Digger tests and uses Manticore on salt beach--- eye opening performance - 2 years ago
Guys ,I gotta disagree on these controlled tests. You take someone down south,with that loamy soil and watch them hitting coins at 14 inches in they're test bed..You come up here to Western Pennsylvania and bury any coin, anywhere you want,,and you don't stand a chance in hell with any machine on the market of hitting that coin at 14 inches.....yea, geographics play a bigger part than tby Woodbutcher - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Calabash Digger tests and uses Manticore on salt beach--- eye opening performance - 2 years ago
I understand making a personal test bed for amusement,but I just can't get excited about watching anyone do depth tests. I will be looking out for actual in field live hunt videos tho, so if you get any TN please post them.by Woodbutcher - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: F75 LTD2 thanks Cal_cobra - 2 years ago
I've dug my deepest coins to date with the f75 and Teknetics T2...I prefer the F75 tho. Just a great straightforward machine with no gimmicks, smooth running with lots of horsepower..I always ran mine in DE mode, 99 sensitivity and 3H tones..I've played with other modes and settings but those are my go to settings for parks and yards..Good luck, hell of a machine..by Woodbutcher - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
