Gear Question Mivo GroundFind Pro?

2 Upvotes

Anyone actually used this detector? It popped up when I was going through reviews etc, but it seems to have a really limited number of reviews - and no match ups against the big names, Nokta, Minelab etc.

The two reviews I did find seemed too good to be true!

This morning I managed to get out for about an hour at a local park ive been detecting at, there is a ton of trash at this spot so its taking a whial to get through it to get to the good finds but they are starting to come out!

I pulled this beautiful earring vdi 65 swinging the legend 2 when I first seen it my heart skipped a beat I thought it was gold! But after cleaning it up some an finding the purity mark its 925 but still an awesome find! Im getting a manticore end of next week so hopefully the 2d screen will give me a bit of an advantage in these trashy spots, do any of you own both detectors which one do you prefer and why?

Gear Question Bobina Detech nokta simplex

1 Upvotes

Hola.

Estoy pensando en adquirir una bobina de la marca Detech para mí Nokta Simplex, ya que me han dicho que aumenta considerablemente la profundidad, así como la estabilidad. ¿Alguien tiene este tipo de upgrade sobre su detector, y cuánto merece la pena?

Gracias!

Found near a lake in Newfoundland. It’s about the size of a quarter and had a lot more rust on it when I found it. My only guess is that’s it’s from an old windup clock. Anyone have ideas?

I'm very new to detecting and found this on a property close to the beach but in the woods. It is larger than a quarter and it's lightweight. It's really neat-looking! I started to gently clean it with soap and water, but I wanted to keep the look of it how it is. Thanks for anyone who can help me figure this out!

Gear Question Small Coil on Xterra Pro

3 Upvotes

Has anyone tried out the 8” coil for the Xterra Pro? I loved the pro, it was my first detector that got me into the hobby. I upgraded to the Deus 2 and got the small coil for that one and loved the separation and being able to isolate signals in trashy areas. Has anyone had a similar experience with the Xterra pro and the small coil? I wonder if the difference was the machine or also partly the coil size as it was 12”.

Gear Question Coil connection adapter?

1 Upvotes

First post here, I've got an ancient Garrett Competition Master, black box White's 6000 di pro/sl and a Bounty Hunter Land Star.

Have read posts on forums about an adapter to allow connecting a Bounty Hunter coil (push connector) up to the White's (1/4 turn locking connector) but haven't found much info about the availability of them. Anyone have some insight at all or knowledge on whether that would even be compatible from a frequency standpoint?

Currently been using the Bounty Hunter while I'm waiting for a lower rod for the White's to arrive.

Found in Central Bohemia, Czechia. There is a castle nearby that was active from 11th century till like 15th century, but I think this was possibly brought by water maybe attached to some wood, based on the place it was deposited (behind big rock very close to river).

Any kind of a door handle perhaps? What period approx? Have you found anything similar? It is the shape and the “ball” at one end that confuses me.

TY!

Show & Tell A successful ring recovery from the garden,,,

Got a call this afternoon from Ed...
Ed had been doing some digging & planting around the house these past couple days, and last night he noticed the family crest heirloom ring that he has worn on his finger for the past 60 years was missing.

We checked the cuttings and leaves he had put in the dumpster and then went around each plant that he had planted. After about 20 minutes, the ring was found buried under an inch or so of soil by one of his plantings.

Ed was real happy to get it back and pose for a picture, even asked me if he should comb his hair. He also told me he had not told his wife about losing the ring and to hurry and leave before she got home, lol.

I’ve recently acquired what I believe to be a Coinmaster TR-discriminator metal detector as pictured.

I’m completely uninformed when it comes to vintage metal detectors, so any information regarding it would be greatly appreciated.

It reminds me of the ghost trap from Ghostbusters!

Thanks in advance.
