    Vaquero or XTerra 70??

    Last summer I purchased a Vaquero; used it for a week and loved the results, but was a bit uncomfortable without TID. So exchanged it for an XTerra 70, which I like, but am wondering if I'm losing out on better relic finds. I've become mostly a tone hunter now, so would be just fine with a...

    Should I buy a GTP1350??:confused:

    Since before buying my Ace 250 a year ago, I wondered if I shouldn't have bought the GTP 1350 instead. Don't get me wrong, the Ace is my favorite detector. Just wondering what some opinions might be. I've heard it two ways: Of course upgrade and keep the Ace as your back up unit. and Unless...

    Question for you XTerra Experts

    When buying my X70, I received, in addition to the stock coil, a 5"x10" 18.75KHZ DD Coil. My dealer advised me to learn the machine with the stock coil first before tackling the DD. Here's my question: I hunt wooded areas a lot seeking coins and some relics. Ground here is not mineralized to...

    DeLeon in Mineralized Ground:confused:

    A question for those familiar with the DeLeon: How does the DeLeon perform in mineralized conditions, being it has a preset ground balance? Thanks.

    WIRELESS HEAD PHONES

    There are quite a few folks who have used wireless headphones, and reviews seem to be mixed as to performance. Some like 'em, some don't. Two models seem to be most popular, Spann Solutions and Radio Shack. Would appreciate any feedback & recommendations. I would be using them primarily on...

    Ace 250 Hits the Beach

    Finally today I had time for a 3 hour hunt with the Ace 250 at an Atlantic Beach. Hutchinson Island Florida. And the Ace did just fine. It was a beach not overly populated with sun worshippers, mostly fishermen and shell collectors. Ended up with $2.12, sinkers, fish hooks and gobs of bottle...

    OK, It's Down To.......

    .....a GTI-1500 or a GTP-1350 to be my next detector. Price will not be the issue, as they are less than $100 apart. I already have an Ace 250, with the sniper for tight areas, so coil size is not a factor, be it 7"x10" or 9 1/2". I know a lot of you have used both models, and I also know...

    Speed Hunting with X-70

    OK, here's my question. By notching out everything below copper, in a effort to get just copper and silver coins, can the swing speed be increased? i.e. is the response time quicker with all below copper notched out:confused: The advice I receive is "Low and Slow", which I understand. But...

    Ace 250 Enviro Cover??

    Some time ago I saw an Enviro Cover for the control box of an Ace 250, but don't remember where. Anyone know where to get one? On my last outing with the 250, the ground was rather muddy, I wore gloves and noticed a lot of dirt getting on the push buttons. Once this dirt dries it appears it...

    :confused:GTP 1350 Questions

    I currently own an Ace 250, have used it with success on salt/sand beaches in Florida, and it seems to work OK. Am considering adding the GTP 1350, as it has a Salt Elimination Mode plus the profiling feature. Does anyoneone have "hands on" experience with the GTP1350 in salt/sand? If so...

    Ace 250 vs. GTP1350 for Coins & Jewelry

    OK, this question is for those of you who have used both the Ace 250 and GTP1350 for coin and jewelry hunting. Which one would be the overall best detector for these purposes? I currently own 2 detectors: Ace 250 (stock & sniper coils) Minelab X-Terra 70 w/ stock 8x9 coil. The Ace is hotter on...

    Question about 5"x10" DD Coil

    When I purchased my X70, the 5"x10" DD Coil was part of the special package offered by the dealer. I have been reading posts by some who use this coil almost exclusively, but I'm not exactly sure what they're using it for. I know it's supposed to be very effective on gold nuggets, which we...

    Scorpion Gold Stinger Questions

    I don't see a lot of posts in respect to this detector, but I know some of you own and like your Gold Stingers. In Garrett's comparisan chart, the Gold Stinger is not checked for coin and beach hunting. Yet in the sales info it recommends using discrimination for coin hunting:confused...
