Tom, you tested the AT and f75 on the gold coin in an air test. Did you bury the coin, and check and see how deep the 2 machines detected this coin? TIA

I was a minelab dealer for a few years in the 1990's, and at that time, my distributor told me the same thing. They sold whites the rights to a set of frequencies or system that minelab was not ever going to use.
Or something along that order.

I was looking at an etrac last year, looked at the used ones, could not afford either, settled for a used safari, which I could afford. Not as nice as the top machines, but Im satisfied.

I had an omega for 6 mo. nice liteweight, easy to use. I had a problem with the machine loving aluminum crud, not ID' ing nickels in a consistant manor, and lacking depth. 8" deep was the max on my omega also.
I bought the safari, tested them side by side, kept the safari, and sold the omega. The safari ID's nickels and other targets very accurately, and has better depth.The fir

Over the last 100 years, bull market cycles last about 17 years. We are in the 11th year of this commodity bull market cycle. If the present repeats the past, gold, silver, oil, food prices will hit a peak in 2017.
Thats 6 more years of rising prices. Not a comforting thought for those folks just eaking by now on a tight budget. If you are an investor in the above commodities, a big payoff is

I guess you could eat your paper dollars if you smother em with enough salad dressing. The dollar, gold , silver are all money, But as the dollar sinks, the other two rise. Its a great way to preserve your buying power.

The experts are saying that the amount of silver and gold above ground supplies are close to 1 to 1. Gold tends to get recycled, where as alot of silver gets used up...... in electronics, in clothing, medicine, solar applications.... At some point the demand over supply is going to cause the price to explode up ward big time. It took Sprott Asset Management months to locate/ buy a million oun

continued reports of booming sales and tightness in the silver market, today King World News interviewed Dave Madge director of sales at the Royal Canadian Mint. When asked if the RCM is having trouble acquiring silver Madge responded, “Demand right now for silver is through the roof and it shows no signs of slowing at this point. Sourcing silver is becoming very difficult. We are competing wi

Had a problem with the coil, sent it in, they sent out a new one. I've always liked garrett quality and service. Im not surprised they are fixing all of the bad ones. . Although I haven't owned one for the last 20 or so years, I'll have to give the at a test drive this summer.

The Gold and silver etf's are run by the major banks. Many feel their main intent is to get people to invest in their paper fund, rather than the physical metal.
Many analysts feel that the etf shares are not totally backed up by physical metal, but other paper comex contracts, and derivitives. We should soon find out, as China is currently
buying the shares, then requesting physical me

The guys Eric King Interviews are very knowledgeable.
Need to buy silver?
I just placed another order this week.
buy it right from the silver mine, about $2 over spot.
World wide, 100 oz silver bars have vanished.
The price of silver will soar into the 100's of dollars per oz, in my opinion.
If you buy stocks, consider

Your right Tom, the normal gold /silver ratio is 15 /1 ....... So silver should be about $90 an ounce today. It has some catching up to do. Since most bull market s last about 17 years, we still have 5-6 years left.
What is really interesting is there is now estimated to be the same amount of silver above ground, as gold, The price in theory should be equel to gold. Many analysts feel silver

The Silver Shock
Submitted by Ryan Jordan on Sat, 18 Dec 2010
2010 may go down in history as the most important year in the history of silver since 1973, when it was revealed that Nelson Bunker and William Herbert Hunt were leading a silver pool to corner the market in the white metal. From the start of that corner in 1973 to 1980, the silver price went from roughly 2 dollars to (briefly) 50 d

Hey Sonny,
I had the omega W/ 3 coils for 6 mo. I bought a used safari, compared them , then sold the omega. . Safari weighs more, not balanced as well, but a much better performer. The omega did not have the depth , it had a hard time IDing tarnished nickels, resulting in digging a ton of alum. crapola. The Safari ID's targets excellent. One tree I searched around using the omega, and al
