    Hey Deus-ites!! Check out this ornament!!! Also, some other finds.

    What do you make of this: The find above (also found the 69 cal ball in another section of the yard) has been a CHALLENGE to identify. That motif!!! Of an infants face. I have seen that before....somewhere. I would appreciate any leads so that I can keep researching it. I don't even know what...

    I found some weird items yesterday with my Deus (9" coil)

    I have a site in town where the nails and other iron is SO thick that if you move the coil a half inch...you get grunting....and more than ONE grunt. But anyway, I had time for about a one hour hunt yesterday. I got to the site. Put the Deus in 'Deus Fast', raised the sens to 97, lowered the...

    Looking for DIY headphone info.

    One my grandest hobbies is metal detecting. There is just something FULLY fascinating about "Reckon what's under the coil this time?!!" I also love a good project. A good old, "roll your sleeves up, do a google search, and tear into it" kind of project. I have some headphones (they are the 22...

    There is no getting around the fact that my silver count has increased!

    Went out to the local, OLD fairgrounds area and found a Mercury dime with the Etrac. Yesterday, from the same location, a silver '43 washington quarter. Two merc's in the front yard of an old home a few days ago. I have not had this unit long, and it is finding silver when I thought my...

    I am considering a 13 inch coil

    I can use the larger area to work out some yards quicker. I am real surprised that coil that is 5 inches bigger would not at least give three extra inches of depth!! Three inches of depth is alot!!!! It would put me down lower than 90% of the stuff that I find. But that is all I hear: "Better...

    A Personal issue with the Etrac. Solution?

    Well, I got permission to hunt the yard of another old home. I get to the house this morning. Get geared up. Turn Etrac on and noise cancel. I use the Etrac coin pattern. I have my other settings at basically where I have seen posted here. Well....I make a few steps and there deosn't seem to be...

    How to deal with nulling and so forth

    I am presently hunting a yard of an old home. The Etac found me two Mercury (same plug) there yesterday. Half of the yard will let me use my Minelab Coins pattern without nulling. When the Etrac is nulling, will it still pick up items that have not been discriminated out??? I know that the...

    What a morning swinging the Etrac!!! Two silvers!!!

    Found a wheat penny first. The ground in the yard of this old home is so good that I was able to hear the Threshold hum 80% of the time. I slowed way down when the threshold started nulling. Anyway, I get a good hit 12-44 and 12 45 and so I dig and out popped a five inch deep Merc. I thought...

    My New Etrac just got here.

    This is my second one. I bought my first one about a month after I started detecting. I was so flipped out by all of the adjustability, I sold it. But now, I have a question, I am about to go hunting at a new place. How do I ground balance??

    Magnetic Mineralization Analysis???? Pressing GB button and Modes

    I saw something in the second chart of the sticky entitled :"Target response comparison of the three 15 9nch All Terrain coils" written by digger. I had over read this part but found it interesting. It is in the 4th line of text at top of post and says: "While still in GB mode, I pressed...

    Can one tell by the Ground Balance number if the mineralization is high or not?

    My Xterra 705 Ground balances at around 60. And yet, with the 5x10 DD coil (18.75) it will hit a silver Rosie dime at only 4 inches. It gives iron grunts at silver dimes buried at 5 and 6 inches with occasional chirps. And even on the 4 inch silver dime, the number doesn't lock on and stay but...

    What are the 10.5" coils taht everyone is referring too??

    I have looked on several sites and the ROUND DD medium frequency and high frequency coils are not 10.5" but rather 10". At least, that is what they are advertised. Since I have been studying Xterra Forum here, I see frequent mention of a 10.5" coil. Is it manufactured by Minelab? Coiltek? The...

    Why do people not like the stock Concentric coil

    The Xterra 9 inch Concentric come standard on the 505 and the 705 and the 305. But when it comes to the 705, and maybe the other models I jusyt mentioned, I have heard many people say that the 9 inch concentric just doesn't do what they need!!! Since I am getting a gold pack, and will have a...

    I just ordered a Minelab Xterra 705 GoldPack yesterday.

    I currently have a Deus and an AT Pro. But I have always wanted an Xterra. It ALMOST was my second machine. My first was an Garrett ACE 250. But when I started finding some cool stuff and was ready to move up in the world of detectors, I ALMOST pushed the button on an XTerra. I have already...

    AT Pro 6x9 concentric coil

    I THINK that is the dimensions. Has anyone tried one???? It looks to be the same size as the coil that comes standard on the ACE250's. I wonder how it handles the extry power coming from the AT Pro in Pro mode??? Has anyone combed a spot with the DD coils only to go back with the Concentric...

    New Deus doesn't react to Propointer like old one did.

    I'm not sure why. I have not shifted my frequencies a half this way or a half that way. That is what I usedto have to do when hunting in 18khz or the Deus would pick up my pro pointer everytime my propointer would activate. My new Deus, in 18 khz, doesn't make a peep now. It's a pleasing...

    To Andy Sabisch

    Andy, I just pruchased my second brand new XP Deus. I fully intend on learning this machine backwards and forwards. My question to you is this: Do you plabn on writing and publishing a good 'how to' book for the Deus like you did for the other major brand, I remeber when I bought my Etrac, two...

    Got a brand new Deus coming tomorrow (thursday)

    This is my second. I sold my first. I didn't sell my first one for any GOOD reason other than I just needed cash to try something else. But from the time that I sold my first Deus, until now, I have yet to find a machine that will match it. I've tried them all. Most of my sites have old square...

    AT Pro Concentric Coils

    I headed over to a website (forum sponser) that sells Garrett stuff. I noticed (for the first time) that there are concentric coils, including a big one, for the AT Pro. I have been studying on getting a new detector, but I think getting a new coil to play with will help me save money. And...

    I have a Pioneer 505 question

    The Pawnshop in my town has a Pioneer 505 with 8 inch and 4 inch coil. I think that they want about $180 for it. Does anyone think it is worth that for a used one. I have owned alot of other detectors, but have never owned a Bounty Hunter. I am looking for a back up unit. Does this unit get...
