    Need an upper shaft for a CZ70a Pro

    I'm trying to help out a friend who has a CZ70a Pro. Many years ago the handle broke off and he apparently tossed out the upper shaft. Anybody got one? I've attached a picture I found that shows the entire unit. The shaft/handle I need is at the bottom of the frame. Thanks. Bill (S.CA)

    Not a comparison.. Transitioning from X-Terra 705 TO Whites Spectra V3 ?

    Neil, I had a lot of hours on the X-70 & was involved in some field testing of the X-705, and I currently have, among other machines, a V3i. To be very honest, outside of the fact that they are metal detectors, they are totally different animals. Despite its many options, to me the X-70-705...

    The rest of the hunt........ 9 silvers

    Larry, Nice finds. Would you mind sharing the settings that you used on the V3i? I have another high end machine myself and was contemplating comparing signals this weekend at some sites here in S. CA. You can PM me if that is more convenient or email me at wpaxt@aol.com. Thanks. Bill (S. CA)

    I chased a MDer OFF MY BEACH....................

    Ferd, This happens frequently out here. We have large ocean beaches but hunters are like lemmings sometimes. There are really two issues here. One is the trash. I commend you for telling the guy to throw his trash away. No excuse for that. I have the same problem with jerks who don't fill...

    At THe Saltwater Beach With The X-Terra 70 & 18.75 kHz Coil

    After spending last weekend learning the X-Terra with the stock coil I decided to hook up the high frequency 18.75 kHz coil and give the machine another run at Santa Monica Beach. Since the X-Terra is a very sensitive detector I was very curious to see how it would do in finding low...

    My First Weekend With The X-Terra 70

    After a number of months using both the X-Terra 30 and 50 I was asked by Minelab to field test the new X-Terra 70 which I received this week. As with the previous field tests I was asked only to share my opinions of the new model with users and the best way that I know of is to post my...
