I use Sun Ray Gold and have some Grey Ghost phones, I don't remember which ones but I default to the Sun Ray phones. I have some Koss I've never used. IMO the SR Gold can't be beat.

I think on the Minelab FBS detectors have the software processing chooses the three strongest frequencies, or the three that are working best somehow. All the frequencies are there but at any given time almost all of them are dismissed according to what the coil is seeing. It has been a while and this is from memory, but I think that is correct.
It would be nice if you could choose three freque

Thanks, I'm waiting. It is still cold and I have stuff I have to do. So I have a bit of time. I'm thinking March. I'll keep a watch here and around and ask you before I buy. I do love a new toy!

If it has performance as good as the Fors CoRe for 350 to 400 bucks less wont it kill the Fors? Surely there will be less of something or some catch. Otherwise wouldn't the company be shooting itself in the foot? Am I missing something?

OH yeah, I want one and I have a request!
In the Pro package make it RED, like the picture. Paint the bottom 8 or 10 inches of the lower shaft white and throw a pair of dark sunglasses in with the package. May as well do the coil in green and brown camo... then we can "stealth" detect. People will think we are blind. Ok, it isn't a completely original idea but a good one I thin

Just curious, I am not yet ready to buy. Probably in March but is Kellyco the only game in town? I have nothing against KC, just asking. They are the ony dealer that comes up on the Nors CoRe buy link.
Thanks and hello... I got distracted for a couple a' years..

I have an early "camo LTD"... I never carry it as my only detector because at some places it works reat, at other places it is a "boat anchor".... but with the 5" coil it is KILLER. When I got it I took it to the east end of Brushy Mountain... up where they cut in the roads and installed the underground utilities before the housing bubble collapsed. I was using the small

I dug two of those in the park at Kingston a while back, not long ago. They were across from the old Confederate hospital site and had really obvious teeth marks all over. They were about 2 ft apart and about 7" down. I got them wi thing that works so well..th the E-TRAC in TTF, they were a one way only signal but the numbers were consistantly correct from that one way... 33F... that is one

I will be near his area soon and I cannot find a recent post by him anywhere. I hope he is OK, has anyone heard from him?
Also... is anyone in the Pensacola/Mobile (Perdido Key) area? I want to hunt some while there (and hopefully hit the Pompano run in the surf, lol). I know there are some places there that are "off limits" National Parks and such but I don't know if it is stil

It looks like something for hand printing cards. We used to carve them from wood then roll ink on them, then press onto paper stock. I think this is something like that, possibly commercial instead of hobby.

Lets hope they stay away from "historic sites" and battlefields and that they don't even use those words. Just private land in some state or another and leave it at that. I know Ric seems to be all about Civi War relics though... I really don't think relic hunting needs ANY more attention. This could do more harm than good. You know how the ignrant get when they go into crusad

Same thing happened to me when I was a kid. Luckily it was a BB gun. I stood it up agaist the fence and about halfway over the fence the BB gun fell over and shot me right in the side of the neck. Luckily again it was a Daisy lever action and it only put a big ol knot on the side of my neck. It was at my grandmothers farmhouse.
I don't know why but she used to say it was only the grace of

When I was a kid I had a "blast" putting some hydrochloric acid in a Coke bottle and then sticking a piece of aluminum foil down in the bottle. Then I'd put a balloon over the top of the Coke bottle until it was inflated, tie it off and put a match to it... you get a briliant yellow fireball from the hydrogen. Great fun!!!

Cal, that is my experience too. The ET beats the LTD and the LTD beats the Omega. The LTD slightly trumps the T2 and the T2 trumps the Omega. The Tejon isn't even in the running, the SovereignGT does well on some of the targets... but the ET simply hits all of them hard and correctly IDs them... and it will do it with the stock coil, and the 8x6 and 12x10 SEF coils. I was using the 8x6 SEF o

Those look like the bomb sniffers that the Iraqi military was swearing by and the US military said was useless. They were paying a LOT more for them though... probably the same thing though.
You decide.

Charles ought to be sending them a "thank you" note for their help in bringing this problem to a head and then a fix. I wold guess that Charles wants detectors with his name on them to be working RIGHT, these people mentioned above all actually were a huge help to Garrett by appying the pressure of a light shining on a problem. They may have been mad at first but now... they should be t

You need to show your dealer the videos and then show him how your machine performs. It sounds like you h

Tom, I may consider buying an AT-Pro if you get it first and make sure it is "up to snuff"... (I really don't see that happening though, lol) one can dream though.

I'll read it if it is online. I had a sub to Lost Treasure magazine. I found it to be near completely useless to me. I get W&ET now and it is some better. American Digger magazine is more suited for me... but I like W&ET for the general detecting and reviews.

It sure would be interesting to have access to the mud they dredge up... they want to deepen it from the mouth up to the port to accomodate larger ships that can now only get there at high tide. Reports due next December. Of course the environmentalists are against it but the ports auth say 1/3 of the budget goes toward mnimizing any environmental impact from more saltwater flowing up river... pe
