I like the sled. Is that a home made deep metal detector ?

Awesome mike. Thats some great gear. How does your 2box go? I have been thinking about getting the garrett treasure hound. But im undecided. How is it on depth. I also had an idea to make a trolly sort of thing that mounts the 2 box side ways. And you push it in front. Do you think that would work. I havnt tried one before. I have a drag coil. But want something to go deeper

The white one was just a through together test. My built one is black. I built the frame and the base. The coil cable was made by an after market company. It will work on any minelab PI machines as well as Whites PI machines. The coil cable diameter is 42inch

On something the size of a car, it will sound at about 25 feet. The size of a garbage can about 10-12 feet. The size of a bucket about 8-10 feet.

Seems the most important item not mentioned here is "BRAINS"! Treasure Hunting I have been told, read and believe is 99% Research, 1% luck. So when the 1% hits then you need to "gear up". Till then it is "LOOK UP"! But always nice to have the gear and troll for treasure. Seems to me that 100% coverage of the area would be important and that in itself is research.
