Minelab 705 set up for inland jewelry. Gerrys Detectors makes a very good video.

Re: Any thoughts as to why the resale value of the F75's are so low? - 10 years ago

I think the major problem as stated above is all the different versions and firmware. Fisher better make sure their next Flagship Detector has user upgrade able firmware (where we can download it from their website and using a USB port, upgrade it). If FTP is going to make a detector and a few months later upgrade the firmware and have people send the whole detector in to get upgraded, or wors

Thanks for sharing the photos Kevin, I don't see civil war relics where I live.

Re: What is a good detector in the $350 range?? - 10 years ago

If he could cough up another $50 he could get a Teknetics T2 Classic. Just need to find a dealer willing to take $400 for one. I also think the Tesoro Vaquero would be a good detector for his first. You can't go wrong with knobs....

Watch out if Financing a Detector from Kellyco - 10 years ago

They are really sticking it to people. I hope people don't fall for this scam and really look into this. First off it's a lease, which means you can pay it off early, but you still need to pay the full price of the detector and financing. (they state they will give you a slight discount if you pay it off early, but don't disclose what it will be). So if you spend $2800 to lea

Re: Minelab Explorer XS - SE Pro - 10 years ago

I have seen an e-trac see coins the minelab se pro couldn't, both fitted with the stock coils. This was shown to me at two different locations. Both users had probably a few hundred hours under their belt, so they knew what they were doing (one even put out a metal detecting magazine at one time). One was an indian head cent and the other was a dime. For the most part they see the same tar

Re: Counter stamped coins - 10 years ago

That might be an overstrike.

Re: Counter stamped coins - 10 years ago

Thanks rebels, I'll have to look for that book. The article in this months American numismatic showed an average guy who didn't own a store, who stamped coins. Records show he was a miner before being hanged for murder. That article is what got me looking into counter-stamped coins.

Counter stamped coins - 10 years ago

If one of you guys could please explain why coins were counter stamped I would appreciate it. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the whole idea of it for some reason.

Re: Confederate Flag? - 10 years ago

eBay may ban selling of confederate coinage and notes......lol. See where this flag thing is going....

Re: Confederate Flag? - 10 years ago

I think this is related to metal detecting. A lot of Americans died under that flag. We dig up artifacts from the battles. While I don't fly it, I believe people have a right to do as they choose. Pussified men will beg to differ.....oh heaven forbid it's politics. Just wait till they ban the American flag....will you speak up then? Probably not.....
