    whats better , straight shaft or "S" shaft on a xterra

    I was reading thru the modification forum and someone had taken the s shaft out and replaced it with a tesoro straight shaft. Seemed a very easy mod. I was wondering if anyone had tried that with an xterra. What would be the benifits of a straight shaft. Has minelab came out with a wider base as...

    ok I am impressed with the 6 inch hf coil but

    I got the coil in friday and installed it on my xterra 50. I went out to my mini coin garden, quarter, dime, nickle and penny buried at 6 inchs. It hit all of them loud and clear in all metal and sensitivity of 20. Impressive! I took it into town to a vacant lot that recently had a old house...

    I have two machines , a whites xlt spectrum and a xterra 50. On ground balancing the xlt its stated in the book to re-ground balance after each pre-amp adjustment.
