Re: WM10 Waterproof Case suggestion:minelab:

Re: Tone i.d

Any posts on here as regards a "screen response but no audio" Aha! Just found one a few posts down. Any others?

Re: Tone i.d

I rely on the tone to get my attention and the screen response to make my final decision. I found the screen to be far more accurate on the CTX at a greater depth. I can't say I have ever seen screen...

Hunting in the woods.

I found this out in the woods and thought it was interesting. The strange thing was it was showing up under Ferrous Coin as two signals. One right around 12-32 nice circle and the other way down in...

Nice old axe! I would clean that up and preserve it for sure. As for the reading, that is big and LOTS of rust. I'm not surprised at all that you got a false hit from it.

Re: Hunting in the woods.

I thought it was cool! Do you have any suggestions on the best way to get the rust off without breaking it apart? It's fairly fragile.

Re: Tone i.d

QuoteSouthwind My thoughts are that they are a bit different. I believe it has to do with the CTX being more accurate AND the CTX's more use of the FE 12. The older Explorers had more of a flute'ish...

The location was really interesting. Did some more exploring and found an old sub surface bricked area. Also found an old well/cistern with a ceramic lining. Also a bunch of early 1900s bottles...

Re: CTX Battery in Checked Luggage

good info, but the baggage holds of almost every passenger jet is pressurized and temp controlled just like the cabin.

Re: Hunting in the woods.

DON'T TRY THIS BUTTTT. I found one last year in the woods behind my brother in law's house. He didn't want it so I brought it home and was just that rusty. Built a hot fire out of wood in the yard....
