I had this issue with one of my coils. Have you got another coil to try? I ended up having the same thing and took it back to the shop I bought it from. They sent it to Minelab who replaced the whole coil because it was faulty, which was surprising since I only used it 2-3 times and was always...

Can confirm it was a bad idea to go out on Easter Monday. Went to a local camp ground in the late arvo after they cleared out. I was stuck with egg wrappers, and pull tabs and a tent peg 8.( I was so excited when I heard the tent peg I thought I'd hit the jackpot!

Any price idea on price of the below? (sorry I'm at work and my collection is at home stored away) Dad scored one of these on an evening when he went to buy his cigarettes... He paid cash and the girl gave him the change with this in it. Dad knows I love coins and being super shiny and green he...

I actually think I remember something about this type of tool from back in my school days! We had an Aboriginal Elder come to our school a few times over the years (the school was built on an old Aboriginal hunting area) and he was saying something like this was used as a tool to knock out the...

I suppose I should have seen this coming. The last time I used this coil the sound dropped out completely while using it (without my knowledge for 10-15 minutes!) So I'd already encountered issues with it on my last try too. Looks like it finally gave in though

Hey Dan! Yep double checked and flipped through the manual a dozen times to check I didn't miss anything. Still no luck. :( Coil leads and plugs are all clean as I haven't used it too often. Would I go through Miners Den the purchaser for this for warranty? Or go through Minelab?

Hey all after some assistance with coil issues on the 705. Planned a day of detecting yesterday but the stock concentric coil on the 705 kept giving me the "CE" error. Basically the coil and control box weren't talking. Swapped to the stock DD coil and it worked! Didn't mind too much but...

Thanks for this! It's helped me out with knowing what coils I can use! :D

Nice collection! How long has that taken?

Sorry to hear of your experience KarlS :( There's always someone to ruin a good time. I suppose though it's been good reading everyone's experiences. Just reinforces why I take someone with me when I head out. Couldn't imagine males approaching me (female) and being aggressive or drunk

I've got 80 pull tabs, 20 empty cans of beer and bit of some rusted old pipe... oh and 50 cents! Lol.... Think I'm bound to find something decent soon right? :rolleyes: :D

Fantastic finds! That ring looks pretty good too!! :D

There was a little boy around 6 years old who was once so curious with what I was doing on the beach. His dad told him I was looking for landmines! But this kid was so fascinated he was watching us and kept asking if I found anything yet. Unfortunately all I could show him was some pull tabs...

Ha, ha great stories! I had one curious man once ask me if I was spraying the mushrooms in the area :/ I've also had another lovely man and his daughter ride by on their bikes telling me to stay away from his gold :lol:

Well done Jason! Your finds are starting to look a lot like mine.. except you have more coins! :P All part of the learning curve but still well done! :)
