thanks for the education on the 900 with the 6inch coil and the program you run ; i have been using it from your first video ; and its really improved my game; thanks again for your help ; great stuff keep it coming if you can; thank you again.
Well I am glad I could help! People tend to get stuck in their ways and won’t try to think outside the box and evolve. There is allot of engineering that goes into these new machines but very little explanation on how to use them. It is very one sided as far as dirt diggers compared to beach and saltwater hunters. When minelab comes out with videos they stay within the bounds of keeping it easy for the masses. I try to think outside of the norm and push the machine to its limits to make my hunts more productive. Yet I get mocked by close minded people all the time on this channel for using the smaller coils! But if you notice NONE of the other highly productive TH-camrs ever considering using the small coils until I started making videos with them! Yet they get thousands of subs and viewers and I get the backlash. Lol Good thing I don’t have to make videos for a living! But it sometimes makes me wonder if I should stop trying to help people and make the videos shorter with the targets only!?!
@@FlTreasureHunter. i here what you say; and i feel for you; like the saying goes you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink; making you tube content and up loading the video’s takes time and a big commitment to keep everything going; and i think i can here the frustration in your voice sometimes in some of your videos; 😂 good luck with everything your channel has definitely helped me and thanks again
I have a Question, why do you swing such a small coil? I started with a 9" on my D2 then went to 11" which was great but then I bought 13" an that thing covers some ground.
Well normally I use the 8” on the core but it leaked again and is not acting properly. So I was rigged for the water with the 6” coil which produces allot less drag which enables me to go longer and faster and cover allot of area when water hunting. But to be more specific if I put the 11” on the 900 it will wear me out allot faster during a 6 plus hour hunt. But seeing as the water is getting cold and people are not swimming I might throw the 11” back on as the hunts probably won’t be as long. It just totally sucks when the coil gets wet and all that dry sand sticks to it making it crazy heavy! As far as the core the 9” and the 11” are crazy chatty compared to the 8” coil in the saltwater I have to decrease the sens allot to keep it quiet! Minelab really needs an update for those coils! If you shake them or hit the tops of the sand they go nuts where as the 900 doesn’t. I like to get really low with high sens to pick up naked chains. It might be the program I run or the tone package that makes them sensitive not sure!? But they should be so chatty in the wet and saltwater. For example when a wave washes over the core it goes crazy! The 900 is as quiet as it gets same for ripples and depth increases ! The core hates it and the 900 is quiet and does its job. That’s with the 6” coil. I haven’t tried the 11” in the water and probably won’t as it kills my joints and forces me to cut my water hunts short and I really feel it the next day. There are many ways to hunt some like to go slow and grid dragging the scoop and then there are those like me that like to cover as much ground as possible and move onto the next beach. I think the way I am doing it works for me as I am over 300g of mixed gold and around 900g of silver for the year. So I like to haul ass with a smaller lite coil so I can cover allot of ground. I can’t say it the right way but these new processors like to move fast and don’t miss much! Also the minelab coils will produce a field that extends way past the 6” or 11” and so on. I also don’t use multi tones I use a single tone on the core designed to make small and deep targets sound better and the same for the 900. This way the targets are not muted when they are deep which makes it easier to find them. The processor does not have to figure out what tone to assign the target which increases the processing power and speed. If you notice Savana Harps and the pirate of Miami we all use the same program with a single tone. Hope this helps explain my reasoning. Lol happy hunting.
But on the flip side of the coin it can totally wear you out before you get to where you want to be when there are so many you can’t walk 3’ without digging a few. Lol damned if you do damed into don’t! Lol
That’s nothing compared to the prime times during spring and summer! The beach down there. Get infested with them and bottle caps! Almost to the point it will drive you mad! I think allot of the locals notch them out because it slows them down !
happy metal detecting my friend
Happy hunting to you as well!!

I try to help and people like you make me want to continue with making the videos! Happy hunting and happy holidays!

Compared to pull tabs and tent stakes....pennies are good!
I am with you on that one. I try to dog them all because the one you don’t dog will be the far 18k ring! Lol
@@FlTreasureHunter Exactly!

A lot of pull tabs….lol
