Many detectors work great if learned well, but I suppose some might be better than others.
I will put my F70 and a sniper coil up against any site with trash, just a little or a mind blowing amount.
Most of the sites I usually hunt are public and extremely trashy so I have had a lot of practice and success.
Those crown caps, not an issue at all even with a DD coil as is iron and most other tra

Are you kidding...at this price it has multiple features and abilities.
Hang it over maps and it pinpoints treasure locations.
Stand in any area and hold it and it will swing in a line in the direction where silver or gold is laying.
Follow the lines

Of course the manufacturers don't want anyone opening these things up, a jumble of useless parts and maybe one circuit that turns on a light.
I am way to smart for that so I went for this thing.
Only $295, $236.95 at Kc if you absolutely want a discount price but no stupid moving or useless parts or wires.
It only finds gold or silver...nothing else, how can you go wrong?
So far nothin

When it comes to proving the veracity of these things for a long time now there have been contests in place with prizes in the many thousands of dollars that will be given to any brand, model or manufacturer that can be proved successful using the scientific double blind test parameters...the only fair way to get true data.
Curiously over the years a few companies have said they will attempt it

For anyone here in this country I will preform my own super secret calibration and tuning process for only $49.95 plus return shipping.
Any detector, new or used, also.
Here are my tools I use, that plus some other secret knowledge I can't divulge so rest assured my deal is on the up and up.

LOL!
Obviously not a gold coin....a REPLICA of a real gold coin, (even has a fake bezel), made into a pendant.
Bling on a chain that might look real to some if you don't look close.
For the European thug type that has very little money.

Evidently one side of a reproduction of a real one.
That word you can't read probably says replica or something like it.
Pretty cool find, actually.

Since moving back to my strange, mineralized, iron and trash infested dirt I have learned a lot.
I can recognize deeper targets now, can deal with the big iron problem pretty well and trash too.
These two were claimed from an area I have hit more times than I can count and I missed them every time.
I think the sniper coil on my F70 helped a lot on these, plus some really slow coil movements.

I got a $200 GoPro Hero white, (saved $20 at purchase when I joined Target's club before purchasing too), and a head mount at Best Buy which makes me look stupid but don't care...the vids come out great.
You can chest mount it, mount it on your detector or all kinds of other ways, control it from your cell phone, versatile, high quality, easy to edit vids and in my mind if you want to

As far as that sleeper remark Dave J. probably said it best...
Because the F70 was advertised for a lot less money than the F75, marketing dept. didn't quite dare to say how good the damn thing really was.
The F70 was the product of a mission-- to come up with a less expensive adaptation of the F75, while incorporating things we had learned meanwhile. Without "dumbing it dow

I believe he was kicked off before but they let him back in.
Same at Friendly, but they finally got rid of him permanently.
Don't think he is not still reading this forum either, he haunts all the forums that banned him.
If you are banned you should be banned forever, second chances are good for some but not for his ilk.
It is a much better place here without him....MUCH better!

Thanks!
Proud of this one, found in the woods and it looks like it was lost soon after minting.
Still looking for that elusive 1916D, also.

I found a beauty in May but alas, besides a little thicker bottom on the word God and the U and S no doubling like in the article...I will endeavor to find it and check closer but I think not one of these.
Full split band variety so I am still happy.
Next time for sure.

Shouldn't be a problem.
I just put this into Google.."Dankowski Forum, Links to threads at the school of Dankowski"...and your thread popped up in second position.
This is easier...I copied the header for this thread and then post it...

I believe there is a big difference between the ideas, methods and mindset behind what is called damage control and actually solving problems.
Some initial steps might be identical at first but solving problems completely and keeping hard earned reputations and supporters and customers happy takes further effort into the areas of honesty, transparency and logical and needed actions.
It seems to

Doubt it.
Similar styles on many models between them, similar thinking on metal choice and manufacturing methods because these companies were run by the same guy...George Lesche.

I have broken two also but I blame nobody but myself...I will still consider nothing else for a hand digger.
These are designed for digging, not prying, and I do way too much of that.
The first one I bent after attempting to pry up a chunk of frozen soil in the winter, a few months later it broke, the second was prying up a big rock stuck in the ground, I even felt it bend at the time, and big

Pretty cool, and for me my favorite vids are the ones where hunters acquire a signal, dig a hole and then we see the result...the ones where hunters start their vid showing a great target sitting on top of a pile of dirt from a hole already dug are ok but way less satisfying to me.
Like only watching the last 15 seconds of the winner crossing over the finish line in the Indy 500 race..it's

Someone will come by soon enough to tell you all you need to know about this one, plus more than that...way more that you never thought you needed to know.
Bet he will be from Tennessee too.
Then you will do this to your computer.

Best coin hunting coil for the Cibola?
Any of them...concentrics make dealing with pop top infested parks a bit quicker and easier for me.
I have the standard concentric, the large 10X12 DD and a 5.75" concentric for my Vaq and all found way more than enough clad to pay for themselves many times over, older coins too among other things like lots of my favorite target...jewelry in both silv
