@@johnnyhiett yeah, sometimes it does turn brown in sun. Oddly though, i’ve had some on a broken window for two years in full sun and its clear as day one 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@kalka79 no, less grip. Scratch up the lynx handle with 80 grit sandpaper, swirls, it will make it better

@ ok thanks , will try. But when it comes to F4 handle, is it better than Lynx handle?

@ at first it seemed ok. I have xxL hands and found no matter the grip it rocked around for me. Much prefer my Lynx grip now (scratched well with 80 grit sand paper). Also have joker Ember, scratched up well, its nice also. Did purchase a f4 scandi, those have micarta instead of g10, with better grip than the original f4, but I sold it, cuz of the handle geometry just isn’t for my hands. Jokers are usually on my belt when out in the woods.

@@UABFWSS Many thanks for that. Cheers !

@@genegilstrap612 yeah, i tried the slow burping kinda thing, with no luck. Waited overnight snd it was happy again.

@@RigoSanchez-rp3xj 🌊🌊🌊 Yeah, it seemed to do a little better in beach mode and its primarily a beach backup machine, so i just left it and ran with that

@@dapawaz8310 it does very well. Much better than the xterra pro did, for certain. Pretty much hits anything down to ten inches give or take a little, not bad.

@@marvanmomen on coins, maybe 1.5” deeper, it’s not much, but it definitely makes things hard to miss, with the coverage. It is pretty heavy and harder to swing in the waves n water.

@@UABFWSS 1.5 METER

@@GaryandtheGooseDetecting i sent the first one in, it was replaced fast, as in 2 days transit, then 2 days transit back. I just let this one air out all afternoon & night, it regained it’s volume again, but for how long, not sure. I more less have switched back to the 900 anyhow. Maybe minelab will come out with an updated battery insert in the meantime, not sure if thats in the works or not. Most always I run headphones, but it’s nice to have the speaker when desired too.

@@UABFWSS did they send a new machine?

@@UABFWSS mine won't regain sound has been a month so I'll send in

@@GaryandtheGooseDetecting yeah, sent in the control head, they replaced it. Not sure if thats what they are still doing, or if they are just letting the insert air out until the speaker can function again.

@@Kladoiskateli37 you’re welcome

@@RickyD1968 I tried a simplex and + in the past. Didn’t keep for whatever reason at the time. I really like this elite. Considering the budget pricepoint, you step into that higher end performance realm. I have it as a spare, but don’t feel like I’m limited much by running it if it were my primary. It pretty much does like 85% of what my 900 does. As far as nokta vs, its like neck n neck with their triple score. I much prefer the minelab tones/sounds and how it just sounds stronger at times, rather than quick zips. The shaft is excellent for stowimg, sturdy, long enough for 6’3”++, but is heavier than a 900 for comparison. Target id’s are decent to pretty good, much better than the standard xterra pro was. I highly recommend it to anyone looking in that price bracket etc

@@MojtabaSader thank you

El minelab elite en modo playa 1 y 2 no te coje un pendiente de oro te lo coje en campo2 pero no sé puede utilizar en la playa ese modo sin embargo te lo coje el vanquish en modo joyas entre 5 y 8 cm el elite no tiene suficiente klovercios como el vanquish

@@JoseantonioVillegascorde-vi3td well, some earrings are hit or miss for every detector, it's just how it is sometimes. i’m thrilled with how well it works, especially submerged in the water, where a vanquish cannot be used. Happy hunting. Bueno, algunos pendientes son buenos o malos para cada detector, a veces es así. Estoy encantado con lo bien que funciona, especialmente sumergido en el agua, donde no se puede usar un Vanquish. Feliz caza.

@@UABFWSS eso sí pero en playa estoy perdiendo oro porque el vanquish aunque no sea sumergible me ha cojido 13 piezas de oro pendiente de oro anillos de un gramo de 14 de 18 k ya que se ha sumergible es muy bonito pero hami no me vale los 5cm tampoco los huele y vanquish si aunque lo discrimina

⁠si? Joder pues yo tengo un elite y nunca he sacado un pendiente de oro y sin embargo anillos si, me podrías dar más información sobre eso?

@@johnnyhiett yeah, I just hate how park/field 2 pick up the tiniest of micro fragments, especially in the parks I hunt. Seems like park 1 isn’t quite as bad at screaming at those. Beach 1 definitely hits deeper than 2 here, salt free, but there is very high magnetic sand in areas, which can really hinder depth, maybe 2 would be better in that, will see. I’m liking this 900 more than the manticore at this point, but my water season is drawing to a close now. This big coil shined on the larger deep 12+” coins, half dollars and large cents, not much difference on the dimes.

@@johnnyhiett I did try dp, didn’t like it on the masked coin, the all tones was instantly telling that it was a potential silver. If I have a chance tomorrow, maybe I can record that, gotta work all night here.

Posted that video using the Depth audio, same everything else 👍🏻

@@johnnyhiett 2024 latest update (as of date of this video). Occasionally use Dp when water hunting. Reverted back to a 900 recently, after my second manticore developed an issue that muffles the speaker’s ability to work (when subject to tons of submersion).

Thanks! I understand now. Have you had any difficulty or advantage with the firmware upgrade? Thanks!

@@johnnyhiett hadn’t ran it other than with the update. I had one very briefly to test prior to this, pre-update, but switched to a manticore right away when those came out. I’m actually liking this 900 quite a bit, maybe because of using an 800 for a few years.

@UABFWSS Understood. I ran the 800 about 2 years till the 900 came out. Of that about 300 days of Florida beach and in-water detecting. No leaks. About 40 days of KY clay soil relic hunting. I got the 1st 900 that sold in Florida and have used it with the same duty days. I didn't consider getting the Manticore. Equinox was lighter, shared coils with my 800, red backlight for turtle season, common menu to 800, perhaps better battery life. And now can use the Xterra coils etc. Of course cheaper. It is amazing.

@@6061lucky I flipped a coin between the two, but no plans to get a triple score. They’re so close in performance, from lookin at other comparisons. Since I have a manticore, getting the elite made more sense (added spare headphones and waterproof headphones for manticore if ever needed). Plus, I like that the elite is plenty long for taller folks too. Minelab sounds are just better also, imo. Probably can’t go wrong either way.

When you put it down the holster does it turn off 360 degrees or must you have too point it in some direction?

@@BlaserAndDesert Im in the habit of turning it off before I put it in the holster. I guess I've never tried it.

@@CLEOTISJAMES okey. I did a order now on amazon so.. F.. It haha

@@bmack2938 Ended up switching to a flowmaster flow fx, like it even more

@@UABFWSS I was torn on the Magna Flow and still sort of am. I want to hear these pipes in person.

@@bmack2938 they’re similar sounding. Flowmaster had less cab noise, let the engine pull harder on top end and was the least probe to leaks. Way lighter too.

@@bmack2938 oops, I meant Flowmaster Flow FX

@@bmack2938 i thought it sounded good for a 4 banger

Yeah I never thought my goal with performance exhaust would be to make it sound like a V8. I hate that rice burner exhaust so much I roll up my windows and turn up the music.

@@porsche1178 lol, i got the list, they’re all in line with pasture fence posts, north south oriented and all spaced 4 feet apart

​@@UABFWSSAhhhh very smart setup!

Nothing beats O’neill Superfreak 2mm surf booties , imo, have tried every other option. They just don’t last for more than a few seasons though, thin bottoms, But they’re awesome.

Thanks, was a fun hunt today

@@antoniomangano it undeniably performed the best 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks

General mode

Not sure, sold mine and stuck with a garrett carrot

Hmm, I sold mine soon after getting it, just too used to carrots to switch.

@@UABFWSS I'm currently using the mi6 but now and then for some reason it slips into menu mode then trying to turn it off I don't think you can beat a carrot tbh. Simple is better when it comes to pinpointets

@@razer192 yep, tried a couple mi6’s too, back to carrot again. Tried new minelab 40, back to carrot again too

Also, what water shoe do you recommend?

@@lanenebraska3322 o’neill superfreak 2mm low split toes

Best scoops made! Have had many of all the others over the years.

@@UABFWSS I’m sold…gonna buy two stainless versions vice one titanium, albeit I do like the titanium for the weight savings.

@@usmc6157 the titanium shredder is fantastically light and still a brute of a digger.

I just ordered an M8, for tighter or trashy spots . But, the 11 will likely see the most use for sure.
