you, the forum members, youtube, reading, and in the field

 

[Ramjet]

LOL. Fair enough.

I scored a casr today,.. still cleaning it up.

 

[rocketaroo]

mine has deep, buried between a tree root, and the edge of an old foundation stone. I am very surprised, that all the wheels are still on it.

Should hit a lot harder on those high conductors with the 7.5kHz DD coil Rocket (as evidenced in your pics), looking forward to seeing what else it conjures up.

It's good fun to go back over your old stomping grounds to see how a new coil performs, the 18.75kHz 10x5 coil is certainly sensitive and good for trashy areas, but the depth capabilities are somewhat lacking (had one on the 305).

Yeah, you get that when the transmit winding is only about 3 inches wide

Still, first time I used that coil on the beach, I got a nice bracelet, so sensitivity often rules over depth.

Heres one that my children still use on occassion(not all matchbox).

Matchbox graveyard, :lol: wonder if they still make them? Probably all plastic now if they do.

Silver, that is a nice pile of cars, love them oldies, I remember one that was made of all metal not like the easy braking
plastics !
If I am around that pile, I would be lost for weeks Vrooom vroooom, beep beep , LOL

Been to this spot once before, but I didnt find much. Attacked it with the extra knowledge, that I have now, and the big new coil. Got more to do there for sure. The new coil goes much deeper, than the gold pack coil, and it definately seperates targets just as well. This is the coil, that minelab should sell them with, 10.5 inch concentric DD, 7.5khz. The thrip was down as deep, as the length of a pro pointer, and alot of the pennies were as well. The car is a lesney, pre matchbox, my oldest so far. Its roof has collapsed into the cars interior.

Congrats on the new coil, and also this nice patch, that little car looks rusty, but hey I would spend time repairing it If I were you

Famly gave me a new coil today, for my birthday
The 10.5inch 7.5khz double D. About to go try it out, its maybe 3 times heavier, and alot bigger, feel like I am swinging a mine detector lol. Wish me luck

Happy Birthday, rocket. Well, I thought the Coiltek 15" all terrain coil is heavier?

Nice padlock face. What did the silver piece turn out to be? Got a better pic of it?

 

[LonelySilver]

Great finds! That lock plate is great!

 

[rocketaroo]

it maybe plated, but Its hard to tell, very hard to clean it. I should invest in Silver's CLR. I reckon it the top of a broach, with dangley things missing. Has weird markings on the back, needs better cleaning, may not be junk.

 

[Geo2]

Nice ! another set of coins with keys ! What the range ID's of these on the X-terra ? 4-6 ?

 

[rocketaroo]

keys are hightones, forget the numbers sry

 

[silver]

Nice Bob RKT.

 

[Brian]
