I will get started on a project next week and will let you guys know if anything interesting happens. I will also test Whites new V3 with stock coil as well as with an 18"DD.

What are you looking for?

 

[gflores71]

coin cache, probably in a clay pot or bronze container.

One of the better detectors for Bronze or Brass is the Garrett Infinium P.I. unit. I don't expect
you to send for one though, just passing along some info.

Gflores: If you are finding gold in clay or bronze pot, you will have not problem to find it with any metal detector, the big problem here will be if the treasure realy exists or how deeper is it, this last point will be the point of what machine will be good.Good hunting

I wish you luck, I am just a doubter on a cache 15 or more feet deep. I would worry about striking oil or a water spring that deep.

I will be out of touch for a few weeks.... I will get back on the web in Jan.

I must have many good reasons to dig more then 3 feet. What 2 box detector do you use?

 

[Treasure finder]

I don't use a two box detector. I use a Maxi-Pulse Plus PI by Fitzgerald
with a 3 foot square loop. I tested a two box detector once and the max
air test I could get to a travel trailer was about 10 feet, no where near the
20 feet advertised. And in the ground that would be shallower. I put
down a car wheel and could just barely pick it up at 5 feet in an air test.
When you use a two box in the field they constantly change tone as you
bounce up and down. That severly limits their real depth. Try it yourself,
I know many people who have bought and resold those units because
they were unimpressed. The PI units are deeper, smoother, don't pick
up mineralization, but again, don't expect 20 feet. Also take a look at
Accurate Locators PI unit. Theirs and the Maxi Pulse are my favorites.

#31 has great comments. How much does this detector cost, and who is the maker?

 

[Treasure finder]

Danny,
The Maxi-Pulse Plus can be seen at www.TreasureNow.com and it runs $1395.
Also go to www.AccurateLocators.com to check on their different Locators. They have some
excellent locators for a little more money.
By the way, what are you looking for and in what kind of soil? Maybe I have some insight.
I did live nearby in Mass. for a year, now I am in Los Angeles.

So how good is the discovery tf 900 as a casche detector?

 

[jesus]

Very good if you know how use it.

I agree with all previous comments, but I feel that the real is in knowing how to handle and interpret the signals of the device you of your choice, no matter the brand, or what you charge, that would serve you spend 45,000.00 on a artifact that can not or is very hard to learn their use, or have to take a course at NASA to learn to use such expensive apparatus, What I recommend and that anyone can give is the experience that you buy from the field, and well you know your partner are actually mail your eyes on the ground, experience, expertise, experience ........... and that's just the years you get it if you want to succeed, regardless of the field to your going to hunt, remember every moment and think, for now I am having experience, and achieve success to recover a treasure, with 100 or 200 years underground, nesesariamenta not have to be 20 to 30 feet deep, I will asking you is worth more monetarily speaking historical or prefer to find 60 gold coins at a depth of 3 feet, or a cartwheel at a depth of 30 feet, the desicion is yours, but I insist EXPERIENCE ... all is said

 

[Treasure finder]

Sabre,
All the 2 box detectors don't go anywhere as deep as is generally thought. The
real use for them is rapidly scanning for large targets while ignoring pulltab size
objects. Test one by putting a car wheel (your spare tire) on the ground and
walk over it with the 2 box detector and see how high you can hold it and still
get a signal. Also try a soda can and a quart can and see how deep you can pick
them up. I can't seem to get a strong signal any higher than about 5 feet on the
ones I have tested. Then if you hold it a foot above the ground that leaves you
with about 4 feet of detection depth. That is only me, try one out and let me
know what you think. I don't expect most caches to be larger than the spare
tire/wheel combination.

Good stuff in this thread guys.

When you put your spare tire 5' in the ground be sure and put the valve stem
facing down not up.
