  1. What Inspired you to Metal Detect?

    Early 1970s and I saw a beautiful Spanish Conquistador's walnut (or similar hardwood) rifle fore stock with silver inlay that a prospector found in the hills with a metal detector. He said he had gone back many, many times to the same area while prospecting, but could not find other part of the...
  2. Cable Clips

    I use 'Bongo Ties', then wrap the shaft with co-adhesive camo tape. This tape gets too sticky has to be replaced after a few months detecting. The Bongo Ties use natural rubber and it too wears hard in the dry sun or big weather changes. But... I do like how this works for me. Attached is a...
  3. Welcome to 'Crack Alley' i.e. Portland, OR downtown river beach...

    YEAH! Just imagine how many hours straight I could detect; if I could only stand still and quit tweaking. A few decades back I found a tied little balloon with black tar heroin. I showed my landlord and suggested I could sell if for enough to upgrade my detector toys. Boy, did he freak out. When...
  4. Welcome to 'Crack Alley' i.e. Portland, OR downtown river beach...

    Welcome to 'Crack Alley' i.e. Portland, OR downtown river beach... ...I got out for a few hours this am at a central downtown riverfront beach. I did not find much but some spare change, a couple of kids toys and small case; complete with crack pipe and container of crack. Ok, THEN! HH and...
  5. Wow! Impressive! The New Coiltek 10x5 coil for the Equinox

    In my limited experience using both the Minelab 6" and the Coiltek 10 x 5 in trash dense city parks and parking strips, informs me that the 6" EQ Coil separates better and a bit more quickly and accurately. On the other hand I get more coverage and essentially the same depth, perhaps a smidge...
  6. Differences in modes?

    Problem is that a complete reset will require going through re-pairing of the wireless bluetooth headphones if you are using these. Alternately you could just reset the individual 'detecting mode' i.e. Field 1 or Park 2 etc. The difference between the modes from my understanding is predicated on...
  7. 13th floor elevators

    check out the band 'Iota' with song 'Love Comes Wicked'
  8. 13th floor elevators

    I was told by a fellow tenant from Houston TX a few years back that The 13th Floor Elevators were precursor to ZZ Top.
  9. Equinox tone/TID question

    YEP! Been there-Done that. I detect regularly in a heavy trash (dense with targets)city park, and multiple coins in the same hole along with other trash definitely skews the TID numbers. Go figure. :)
  10. Minelab wireless headphone ml80 question

    OK; so I can use my ML80 Headphones with either a previously owned Samsung S10e, or my new Samsung A32 5G. I make sure the headphones are in pairing mode (red and blue flashing light on right hand ear cup), then select blue tooth on with my phone and select the ML80 and bingo. Hope this helps...
