Does it help? I currently have a pair of Jolly Rogers that have served me well for a number of years, but I was thinking of getting a pair of Grey Ghost Ultimates or Killer Bee Wasps to try out the limiter switch option. I'm hoping to be able to turn the volume up to hear the fainter, deeper hits on my Tek G2 while not getting blasted by shallower hits. Will it be worth spending another $

I've got an older one for sale. Has 11 inch round coil and 11 inch elliptical coil. Pinpoint button doesn't work though, but I never needed it. I really only ever used the 11 inch round coil for my hunts ,and the elliptical coil a little in my front yard. I don't remember falsing being a problem. I'll let it go for $300 shipped to your door.

Nice video. I don't really care what a ctx3030 can do or not, or if the operator was using it correctly. The Makro was impressive. If only it was submersible...

Looks cool. Shaft with camlocks like the deus and a display like a racer. My favorite thing about the Deus is the how easy it collapses to fit in my car. I never used a racer but the display always looks good to me.

Where does your Vaq airtest a Minie ball with a good repeatable signal with a swing speed someone could swing at? Where does your Vaq ground balance at out in the field, do you run it a quarter turn negative?

I've found my deepest coins using an Omega 8000. Simple to use and light weight.
The only thing I ever wanted it to do better is how it handles EMI.

Nice finds. Way to hold out on purchasing a new machine. The G2 is plenty capable of finding metal in the ground. The more I pound a site the more I give in to the trying out the less desirable hits, which is a great way to learn your machine. Thanks for sharing.

Mostly Copperheads where Im at in Pennsylvania. They dont move or make sound and trust their camo. You can walk right next to one and never know. If you step on one though your going to have a bad time. Ninety percent of snakes I run into are out on large rocks soaking some heat from sunrays.

Nonupgraded F75 LTD with stock coil. I would miss the optional coils though. I like a big coil for open fields with deep relics and I like the stock coil for new slightly trashy areas, and then using the round 5 inch coil afterwards.

Are their prices even competitive? I've bought coils from them, but I wouldn't even consider getting a metal detector for what they price them for.

My dealer sells more Ace 250s than anything else. Everytime I go in there he is ''pushing'' one on somebody. My first machine was a Fisher F2 that I thought was a better unit than the Ace. The Euroteks seem even better than the F2 and Ace. I wonder if the overhead is a little better with the Ace machines or something? The AT pro is a great value machine that performs well

Thanks for the video wjs. Some of those whisper sounding hits that hit just outside of the repeatable air test scores are the ones that turn into nice relics.

Machines that deep would have metal detecting banned from parks and public areas no question. Might have to put metal detectors into different types of classes based on how deep they can go.

Was the lobo modded for your ground specifically? I agree with bryannagirl, looks like the best machine you've ever put through your test garden, atleast on video. Does it handle deep iron very well? I've been thinking about purchasing one of these since you mentioned it here some time ago but modifying an expensive detector might lead to disaster. Can it be put back easily if you do

Just got my F75 back today from my second upgrade trip. No momma pinpoint bug and air tests seem on par with what others are reporting. I can get an all metal threshold waver with a nickel similar to Keith Southerns video demo. Might be awhile before I can do any real world tests to really know how it compares to my old firmware. Right now my thoughts are if you use your F75 in the AM mode mos
