Calabash, Does the type of dirt cause a user to have to adjust the unit differently , which in turn causes the machine to react differently to targets in nasty soil?
I know you have mild sandy dirt, and Tom has crappy dirt. Comparing the target depths in dirt on each end of the spectrum of dirt, the bad dirt kills depth.
Does the bad dirt also screw up the target signals also? Causing you to

Tom, I don't know if you ever visit other forums, but on Detector Prospector, on the Equinox forum, about a month ago , there was a discussion about what we would like to see in features and construction on Minelabs next/ new high end coin detector.
Some good suggestions and Ideas there.

With the nuances in the audio on the Vista X, would it be possible to pick out rings amongst most of the aluminum tabs? I would think the rings might give a smoother audio, where as alot of aluminum has a more harsh sound. I had the Vista gold years back, and the audio was amazing.

Normal bull market action. 2 steps forward, one step back. The fed did not stop the money printing, so this correction will not last long.

My Guru, Mike Oliver, update... Price targets by end of year. Gold...$2700-$2900 ......., Silver pushing $40.
If you are looking for cheap silver, try the local antique shops. I hit one shop, and they had their silver coins at the same prices they were a few months back.
Guess who bought a bunch? At $40 per oz, there are 5 quarters per oz, which would make them worth $8 each, and dimes, th

Heck Cala, if you really want one, get one from a different dealer. I would never let one dealer get in the way of a detector if I really wanted it.
When I saw the heading , I assumed the MDT would not work well in your mild soil.
Don't let personal insults ruin your day. It happens to us all at one point or another.

Gold is going higher from here on out. $4-8 thousand in 2-3 years is realistic. Enjoy the ride.
Load up on silver while its still cheap.
Below is copied from Mike Olivers MSA report, one of the Gurus I subscribe to , who has been deadly accurate in his analysis.
" Larger picture (for remainder of this year) is likely to see gold up in the $2700-$2900 zone. Beyond that

Silver hit 50 in 1980, gold hit about 850. 2011, gold hit 1920, silver again hit $50. 2020, Gold hit around $1890 today, and silver is around $23. Silver has alot of catching up to do, and it will. Silver has been shorted by the bullion banks like crazy, using paper contracts. That is starting to unwind. Silver will get there.
Why is gold so high now? The fed is printing money , l

If you can hang on for another year, gold should hit close to $3000, silver over $50. ( as per the market experts , who have been correct so far, )

Cal, I no longer have it, so I don't remember all the examples. I was a coin hunter, not into relics.
Iron produced a lot of weird designs, where as a coin was usually a single line from bottom to top.
A deep coin would make a tiny short line, a shallower coin a taller line. I was able to pick out rings very well
from amongst aluminum tabs and trash. It had 120 points of VDI , ring I

What about a hodograph or whatever it's called?
The Rutus 71 I had used a hodograph. I really liked it. It gave another visual dimension ( Proper word?) of the target. .Certain targets would show a string of dots, another , a curved arc, etc.

Dewcon, I use Bondic when wanting to weld plastic together. Its a liquid, then shine a uv light on it for a few seconds. Works well so far, but have not had to try it on coil ears yet.

Quite a list!
1. Sensitivity Level 7 has been added to provide extra depth.
Please keep in mind that the device may run noisier at this level depending on conditions and that this is totally normal.
2. An extra mode has been added - Park 1.
The Park mode on the previous versions has been named as Park 2 on this update and a new Park 1 mode has been added.
Park 1 is relatively deeper but a bi

Pimento, I agree 100%. Will the dollar collapse in value some more? Gold and silver are getting very difficult to buy. Maybe have to stock up on supplies we will need in the next bunch of months?
The fun never ends!
