Yeah I am selling a couple detectors, we are getting an onset of winter weather and I won't be getting out much plus I have too many detectors if that's possible

I saw some accessories on ebay that allow you to attach your MI-6 to the Deus shaft listed under "metal detector accessories XP" One was located in the Ukraine, one was located in the United Kingdom, and one was in Spain, I didn't see any U.S. distributers.

Yeah the Nox is pretty awesome in the iron, It got that Indian that had iron all around it even without an outrageous recovery speed.

Found a deep IHP with the Nox, it had iron all around it. My setup was Park 1, 50 tones, recovery 4, FE 6. I had the horseshoe on, 23 gain.

If and when you get yourself an FBS detector you will at first get pretty frustrated because it will sound off on some deep iron, but if you stick with it and put some hours in eventually it will come to you, it does seem like a light switch is turned on when you finally get it. The older versions of FBS like the first explorers will go crazy deep but you have to slow down your sweep speed. If yo

I want to start by saying I have enjoyed using Nokta/Makro detectors greatly, I have had most of them and they all perform well and the build quality is unsurpassed, oddly enough the Red Racer is still my favorite My question is will the user be able to replace the rechargeable battery in the device when it will eventually need to be replaced at some point, rather than sending it back to a repai

Relic hunting and park hunting are two different animals as most of know, The Deus in my opinion is the top dog for finding non ferrous metal among iron infested areas and when you relic hunt you are pretty much looking for anything non ferrous. Park hunters are plagued with modern trash and we have to be more selective to keep a good trash to treasure ratio, there are older tech detectors that

I still use my analog Musketeer Advantage, it is one of my deepest detectors and with a small TS800 coil on it it will rival the new detectors in unmasking. Just sayin. believe it or not.

I still watch Keith's old video's when I want to get a refresher on some of the older detectors, he knows his stuff when it comes to metal detecting.

I got a real nice Teknetics Omega 8500 that is only 1 yr old, has 4 coils, 4 inch concentric, 8 inch concentric, 5x10 DD, and a Cors Scout DD coil that is a 12 and 1/2 x 8 inch DD. Detector is in pretty much new condition, I have the original manual with it but not the original box. Asking 275.00 for the package shipped.

I think the "look what I found" video's are boring, when I first started my channel I did it that way, now I do nothing but live digs, I think a lot of people want to see what the detector you are using looks and sounds like when it hits a good target plus it gives the viewer that litle bit of suspense of " oh what is that going to be". it just makes your video's a l

Deus, F75 or Patriot with the 5" round coil attached, Nox running with the horseshoe activated, and believe it or not I have picked a lot of goodies out of the iron with FBS detectors going slow with a small coil. These would be my choices not necessarily in that order but in my opinion the Deus is the top dog in the nasty iron. But what do I know, I hunt for coins in parks most of the time.
