No dog in this hunt but comment I must...it us a shame a company held in such long standing regard and respect seems to be in a put out a few fires but whitewash the rest, mode.
TS just put a pic of his cracked unit over there on the White's forum, I wonder how long it will stay in this suspiciously cheerful MX Sport specific forum or will it even be acknowledged.

You are one of the worst, most ridiculous attention grabbing trolls I have ever seen and that is on every forum I have seen you on.
There is a reason you have been kicked off of so many of them, not that you care, and every forum that allows you to make your most ridiculous posts is less because of you.
In this one you pretend to be putting down ideas to improve a forum that nobody but you seem

I think there is a difference between showboaters and people that are just generally proud of what they find and just want to show it off whether it be a newbie or veteran...a big difference.
Showboaters are much more in your face about all of it, can be obnoxious and get something way more out of the attention received than just regular hunters showing off their stuff, they have an unhealthy an

ALL my detectors are stereo when hooked up to this system....
Lots of questions all the time about headphones and also should I wear them or shouldn't.
Do they make a difference or not, etc...
Personally I do like to wear them, but in the real hot weather they might make my ears sweat a little so I came up with another option and sometimes I go this route.

I use an F70, a cousin with many similar features, and I use 3H and 4H tones when cruising parks looking for coins and jewelry and when I don't really want to stare at the screen all the time.
I tried DP tones too but haven't got the hang of that yet.
I have found some pretty good targets deep and sometimes masked in those higher modes too.
However when I really want to get down and

Uhhhh...ok.
So what are you driving....Edsel, Yugo, a Pinto which I used to drive in the early 70's but I am still here to tell the tale?
People like what they like due to experience but all experiences, or areas we hunt, are not the same.
I use one that seems almost miraculous to me but others in the past seemed to hate and are happy to tell you how much.
Doesn't bother me nor do

Are you Slag from Kansas?
If so I think you are the guy that had an F2 then moved to a couple of F75's....one with and one without DST, right?
What are you looking for in this unit that those Fishers can't find?
Micro jewelry, my F70 seems to be able to find the really tiny stuff, surprisingly tiny, with just about any coil so those F75's should also.
Coins and rings, silver an

Thanks!
Passion is easy especially when a few special things pop up here and there that can be shocking.

I have found mercs before, some newer, some older, one in the 40's that was in super great shape...but not like this.
This one is 25 years older and from what the coin guys tell me this is a bit more special.
For this year the D and S mints are worth more, they made 3 X's more of the Philly types so usually way less in value but they made so many they wore out several dies and in this

I sent a bunch of my scrap gold into ARA a few years ago, the only time I have ever sold any of my finds.
Still kept the better rings and most that still had their diamonds that I will eventually sell at retail but I wanted to gather some money up to buy an F70 and for another more important and specific reason.
This hobby gets me off of my butt, out of the house, some exercise and some wel

One day I was digging and I dug...a digger!
Another time I opened a hole and saw this staring back at me.
Pretty bad when your targets give you attitude out there in the field.

Don't know about all the detectors you mentioned, but I do hunt with an F70 and have dealt with this problem in the past.
There is one site I used to hunt with the most EMI problems I have ever experienced and they were constant and consistent because I hunted there many times.
It was at the entrance area of an old park right next to the street with power lines running through the area, la

I have a close cousin to the T2, an F70.
When I say I have figured out a couple of ways to hunt in ridiculously dense iron infested site and be successful I mean it.
I should say shockingly successful.
One way is something that took me hours to learn and make sense of but once I did I was stunned at what I could find.
I call them blast through settings because all of them are at max possible.

Here is a vid that shows how excited I got when I found two on one hunt.
Funny story...
I was waiting to get my drivers license and they were backed up.
Luckily they had a system that will give me alerts on my phone so I spent some time at a park near the office instead of sitting around all day.
At that park next to a pavilion I found 2 within 10 minutes.
I was talking about it at my

Not the newest or the latest, but I boarded the F70 train and don't have any plans of getting off anytime soon.
Hype...pretty much the reverse with this one.
Been flying under the radar for years, a certified dyed in the wool sleeper if there ever was one and we owners like it that way.
All these new detectors are great, features and abilities far beyond those of mortal detectors...suppos

The guy in question also recently had some other banner finds like that already mentioned $5 gold coin and a few others.
Definitely a possibility but one of those other banner coins was a 20 center.
That seems to be an elusive bucket list items for even the most successful and experienced hunters.
Knowing what we know now all his banner finds are suspect.
A sad tale and a shame.

I was doing some air testing once using coins.
Trying to see if there was a difference between clad and silver in the numbers.
I discovers on the detector I was using there was about a one number difference between a clad quarter and a silver quarter.
For the heck of it I had a roll of clad quarters so I swung over them too...iron every time.
Depending on exactly what is in the cache I can

5 years, 7 months and 8 days after I started in this hobby I found a Peace dollar.
I had gone out hunting earlier in the day and after I came home my wife took over the tv to watch a movie I was not interested in so I walked up to my nearest old park just to wander around to look for out of the way sites to hit in the future.
This was in the dry period last September, here in the SE. the dirt g

Of course it's legit.
She will probably ask you to accept a money order for an amount way larger than the costs of the detectors and then send her the difference in cash.
Common business practice in some foreign countries so don't worry.
I am sure that MO will be fine.
I myself have some bridges in like new condition I am willing to trade if you are so inclined.
