Saw this video - looks very interesting - like how it sounds in iron. Wonder how it would sound in modern trash Also like the graph or picture seems informative.

I know the Racer is stealing the show for unmasking in iron but sounds like the F19 can give her a run for the money. So would love to see more. - Dirt Fishing has one up - so how about some more.

I have noticed a similar issue with my T2 you can turn it way down and not loose much depth. In fact in mineralized dirt I think you loose depth with to much sensitivity on T2.

They are different in ergos and standard equipment. The F19 has had very good reviews. So I see no issue with the G+. Based on several reports the F19 is class leading performance. Yes it would of been nice if they had made even a little better but from their stand point they would be killing the F19 if they did that. Products need enough time for companies to recoup development cost and get so

This totally supports the Worm theory for how coins sink. Organic rich the worms do it. Not organic it is mechanical. Statements about sinking to point of equilibrium which I used to accept as truth do not seem as likely any more. Bouncy of a coin in dirt - it floats no sink - so again worms creating cavities underneath allowing coin to fall and then being covered make sense.

Thanks - interesting how sweep speed became more critical in BP. I assume you needed to go slower (not slow) in BP then JE or DE. I have wondered on T2 what mode it would be closest to when just using tones. I assumed DE mode. The Deus seemed to do pretty well. Read many posts concerned about Deus Depth - this kind of points that depth may not really be an issue.

I got to meet Al at Pro Stock Metal Detectors. He was nice enough to put together a Deus for me and also showed me a Racer. We had a nice talk about detectors and hunting. He made me jealous of you hunters in Michigan that have both water and land to hunt.
Played with Deus was afraid screen would be too small but it was fine - actually was pretty easy to read. The racer was pretty nice also

I think that they had a lot of negative press and they do have hundreds if not thousands of ways to configure them and only a handful really make it the beast it claims to be. No US distributor any more hurts them as well. Also the buss words now days is seperation and unmasking - no longer is Depth the king of the hill as a measure of performance.

Trust me - I thought about - but in the early morning rush to leave did not grab the T2. It is so light and easy to pack with that 5 inch coil. Like I said next time.

Why not sell a Deus or Racer then try for a CTX used. I do not know how the CTX and Etrac compare but there are a few saying an Etrac can stand its own vs CTX so Etrac sounds like an option.

Wow - sounds like a nice guy. I realy just want to window shop a Little. I have dealt with business owners like that before. I used to visit a motorcycle dealer - I liked the guy but he was my price is my price and never negotiated. His son bought the place and was way better to deal with. But the dad was OK just did not deal. - but he did have a once a year sale that was really good.
Well

Visiting In-Laws in Kalamazoo MI. Did not bring my detector but sure wish I had. So many cool looking old places. I think I saw the Adams Family house - really very cool and very spooky - even a gaint Red Barn to add to the Character. I bet that places has some stories to tell.
I found out about 15 min from my In-Laws is a Brick and Mortar Detector Store called Pro- Stock Metal Detectors. Web

As far as going from AM to Disc mode the T2 can flip back and forth if you leave at top of the Menu by rolling the knob. I can tell there is a difference between the 5 on T2 and F75 but not sure it would make any difference with your test.
I wonder if a coil could be designed or already exists that separates better then stock 5, but for depth I think for its size it would be hard to beat.

What is interesting is the weight of an object seemed not to matter a layer of lime he checked that was laced across a field 26 years later was 7 inches deep. Lime is not that dense. In the desert were there is no worms stuff is sometimes on the surface.
My guess is sometimes in parks the depth is off because parks are groomed, aerated, fertilized, re-sod, and who noes what else. But take a u

Read an article that says objects sink in soil because of earth worms. It's in the May issue of Lost Treasure. In normal soil (with Worms) objects sink at about 2.5 inches per decade. So in dry soil with very little or no worms items do not sink very much at all. Anyone else read that article. What do you think is it the worms?

Are you getting three very good coils in one or three marginal coils?

Not sure I will ever find a coin in this lot seems more like a trash dump turned into land fill for this lot. So just do not think it is place where coins would be. But it is one heck of a traing ground for working iron and trash plus it is a short walk from my house. It's my training ground. I am sure what I learn about my machines here will help me be more productive in places that do have

Ok here is my story. I was going to school in the Navy. I was stationed at the Navy training center Orlando FL. Since we went to school Monday through Friday we had weekends off. One weekend we decided to go to Wekiwa Springs State park and go Canoeing. There were 6 of us and we rented 2 canoes. I was sitting point on one of the canoes. We had gone down river quite a bit but it was looking pre

On T2 2+ is the same as 2H on F75. I think it needs 99 since it does loose depth compared to other modes but dang is it fast and separates very well - single tone modulated is almost as fast.

Would love to hear from some of the bigger dealers. People do read forums - not near as many join but a lot read them. So I do suspect it has an impact. Heck Kellyco tried to "Impact" the market because I suspect they were worried about lost sales.
Even though I believe the F75 update was good and some good features were added I suspect sales are down on its high end model. I been

Yea too much good trustworthy reports to call it hype let's call it highly publicized and attention getting.
CTX had lots of attention but it cost two grand plus. The Racer at $850 with two coils and other goodies is very approachable
