    Minelab Vanquish (340 440 540) tips and questions

    Good points OldGT - I suspect the glass jar might have been buried upside down so the ferrous lid would be below the 10 Krugerrand's. My reason for thinking this is my mate's (now deceased) father was known for his practical-common sense - so if the metal lid (on an upside down jar) corroded the...

FYI I tried to attach the V450 manual in PDF format to this post but no luck...

    Getting a SDC2300?

    HELP PLEASE - I am trying to use my 2300 under a house (1m max space tapering to 1/2m so crawling detecting) with wooden floor boards & electrical wiring running along the floor beams. The 2300 noise cancel/minimisation feature does not appear to be reducing the electrical interference from the...
