The I looked om eNay and all I saw was this completed item. It is for the 50 kHz Goldmaster detectors. The one I need is for the 6.59 kHz detectors. There were two types.
If you see another, please post the URL or auction number.
Thanks

Well, the Goldfoot was for a 50 kHz Goldmaster, so still looking for one of those.
I have been playing with the 6" round coil however, anf guess what, it passes Keith's unmasking test that he ran on the F-75 with the10" wllip. Coil. I had to set the XLT up a bit wierd, but between the tone discrimination, recovery speed max and watching the signagraph, I get a clear non-ferrous

When my F-75 is freaking out in discriminate at 99 sensitivity on 9.0 or 9.1, I have to carefully go through all 7 frequencies to find the quietest one. Even at my house which is EMP hell, I can usually find one freq which is quiet enough to use full power. The amount of noise varies enormously from one frequency to another.
Imhadn't noticed the response delay, I will have to try mine.

Excuse the totally garbage last sentence or two I dictate the stuff and my eyes are kind of tired and sometimes I forget to proofread it. It should have said – "... gets the same depth as the deus..."
Sorry
Also, in case somebody is tempted to throw the B.S. Flag on my claim about the Whites detector turnover at Gold Canyon this is the talley for 15 months or so. I can't hel

Try as I may somehow I just keep ending up with whites detectors. I probably bought and then sold 10 in the past 18 months. In the last two weeks I bought two more – I guess I just can't help myself.
First I found an eagle spectrum in my neighborhood that needs a new home. I never used the whites of this particular generation before and ended up being fascinated by the programming you cou

Nice combo - guns and detectors, you can recover all your lead!!!
I have a couple of airguns so my 3 acres are an ideal placeto test your detectors ability to pick up very small medium conductors.

Nicely done Dwight.
Now we can all get back to what we came for - a rich spectrum all the way from hard won knowledge and hard learned lessons to silly speculation, half baked theories and general nonsense.
Let the games resume!

Dwight,
here's what you wrote - I cut and pasted it from the post, it appears in quotation marks below
"When you omit obvious flaws you do an injustice to us and I see it as doing it for self gain. Correct me if I am wrong."
You said he wrote stuff which "omitted obvious flaws" and accused him of doing so for "self gain". Where I come from that amoun

Steve's departure from the forum saddens me. if someone called me a liar to my face and then signed off by acussing him of being thin skinned about it, I guess I would leave too. In my opinion however, we are now paying for the actions of a member who is either rude or careless.
Words have consequences. Please use them carefully.

Don't take my comments for more than they are. I love my F-75. The GBP is sold and the Deus is for sale!
Both great detectors, but for what I do, the F-75 means I don't need them.

The F-75 "neo" - even in FA mode does not "split" targets as well as the Deus or the Gold Bug Pro. I have tested all three against the same targets.

That's not a price, its a minimum bid. If more than one person bids, the price will go up.
I bought the same thing used six months ago for $1500.

Kevin,
I just ran my new F-75 in BP at 99 sens. In discriminate it was mouse quiet. In AM, I had to find the best frequency, but once I did so, it was fine.
This is outside my garage where the EMI is terrible. The Gold Bug Pro I bought from you would not run in AM above 70 here.
In BP and discriminate, I was waving my 11" coil over a nickel on the ground and at the risk of being

No ear keener than Keith's. How the Navy hasn't kidnapped him and locked him into some secret Sonar development lab, I'll never know.

The First Texas approach is unlike that of Whites or XP Deus in that a lot of variables are "baked in" to the modes and cannot be varied within a given mode. Things like SAT recovery, pre amp setting, display parameters for what it shows and how it shows it.
Compare the F-75 to the V3i. The latter has pre programmed modes, but you can completely ignore them and set almost all adjus

I have been wondering what the real differences were between the Nokya detectors, so I asked - this is the answer I got from nokta.
Now regarding FORS CoRe and Gold - We sell detectors all around the world. In some countries - especially in Africa - people are not very educated about detectors and how they work etc etc. All they need is a ''gold machine''. So when we were

Various sensible folks responded to my post below about only one detector – reasonably pointing out that that would never happen. Steve H chipped in that he could live with two a good PI and a good VLF.
Steve is right remarkably often. That is my strategy exactly - get down to two detectors. I just ordered a Minelab SDC 2300 – and I have an F 75 with the latest upgrade. I think for now at l

I started detecting in about 1980. Since then I have had 30-40 metal detectors.
I would prefer to have just one.
If I was a metal detector manufacturer I would hate it if there was just one detector everybody wanted because of course it might not be mine.
The reality is people ask me every week - "I would like to get a metal detector which one should I get?"
That's not

I will cheerfully second Steve's opinion. I was going to jump in with a plug for the F-75 when I read the original post, but since Steve brought it up, the F-75 with the 13" Ultimate coil is the deepest detector in moderate to slightly more than moderate mineralization that I have ever used - and now they are "tame tigers" with the great improvements in EMI resistance which F

Can't tell from the photo, but with a thin baggie, you can go ahead and mount the controller in the normal way. Everybody in Denmark was doing that when I was there in September, it also keeps mud out ofmthe buttons.

Hey Jason -
Great write up on the XL. It seems to me that your discussion of the meter's role in deep targets is a good example of the value of "low energy" target informatiom.
Some detectors find ways to present small, marginal signal information. It seems me that many detectors operate in a kind of binary fashion - either signal or nothing - if the target signal doesn

You notice that you never see Keith's face in these videos? I don't believe for one minute that he is only one person. Except for one manly arm and his downhome voice overs, there is absolutly no evidence that he isn't actually a flock of cloned detector mavens.
Sorry Keith LOL

I look forward to hearing how you use it. it's ability to ignore shallow iron has always been pretty much ignored by gold-seekers, your take on how it works and what it is useful for will be veryninteresting.
