Thomas Dankowski's Metal Detecting Forum

Tom, that makes more sense now. That list of detectors over a small area with a skilled user would definitely be considered worked pretty good. Never know if another machine will find something in a beat area until you try though. A lot of machines get dismissed before they even tried.

What 'triggered' me to make this post.....was............. I had found 7 coins..... then 7 more coins........ then yet, 7 MORE coins. 7, 7, 7 What is NOT mentioned; yet, was a absolute reality....was........ there were plenty of OTHER high-tones (coin tones) that were not coins ......... but could ...

Are you finding gold any gold rings?

Not sure who can help with this, but I and several other members are not able to log onto the forum. I can get on sometimes,and sometimes I can’t. Several other forum members who would like to join in on some topics can’t contribute because they can’t get logged in. Thanks for whoever can help with ...

This is exactly the type of information/data that we need on this form. I also have a small 30‘ x 30‘ site similar to Tom’s church site. It is loaded with nails iron and trash debris of all sizes. It is loaded with zinc and clad coins, mixed with all this iron and debris. I have pounded on it a lot ...

Mike, I’ll try and help being no one has ever responded to your question.

I would recover the best targets for now that you can get in your scoop, if the site is giv...

Has a form of ID when using pinpoint. I know a relic hunter that says it might could have a use for relics in some ...

Tom….. I really appreciate your response. I’m mostly in 1880-1900 homesteads. It’s overwhelming to believe there's that much iron in and around the sites I hunt. It’s weird to be running around in a site with Manticore listening to a lot of the iron then go back to vehicle grab another detector and ...

Question, running in AL metal I’ve always wondered if the manticore is sounding off on the tiniest rust flakes or some mineral at times? I’ve never ran any disc ever. I was at a place in the woods at our farm a while back that was fairly quiet but had several scattered iron tones, that I ended up di...

I purchased a used Vista X on recommendation from Keith Southern he said that it would work well in my iron infested site that I’ve beat to death. I’ve been wanting to try one ever since it was released. I’ve only had it a little over a month. In that time the Vista X has consistently been pulling n...
