    Any luck on a GB mod for the 250?

    Some time ago I was reading on a possible mod someone was going to do on the ace 250; making an external GB, amongst other things. Wondering how it turned out. ...Willy.

    The ol' geezer kicks some butt!!

    Was doing some pretty intense detecting for the past couple of weeks using both the Coinstrike and my Challenger X-100. Well, the upshot of it all is that the X-100 kicked Coinstrike butt all over the trashy areas. In sharp mode I could go sooooo slooowwwlly and with such good seperation that I...

    My X-100 Challenger S-rod mod.. DONE!!

    Finally finished it today; looks almost like it should be a stock setup, eh? The nicest occurrence.. the holes in the S-rod were a near perfect match for the ones in the X-100 case!! Go figure. Now it swings like a White's. ..Willy.

    What iron disc. reading goes with what negative VDI?

    Trying to figure out where iron targets drop out, VDI reading vs. Disc. Fisher doesn't say squat and it would be really helpful to know. There are a lot of desireable targets that will give negative VDI readings, but going through the painful procedure of swinging over a target then playing with...

    Has anyone tried new canadian coins with the Coinstrike?

    Haven't taken mine out hunting yet, but judging by 'on ground' results, I might have a problem. The new stuff (quarters, dimes, nickles) seems to read somewhere around -30. Not good. maybe it's different in the ground. ..Willy.

    A couple of questions regarding the Coinstrike.

    Hello everybody! Looks like I'll be getting a new used Coinstrike in a couple of days and was kinda curious about a couple of things. The first concerns the sweep speed and ground handling. I've read that it likes a faster sweep speed and that it can handle bad ground. Would you say that it just...

    Frequency cutout on headphones?

    I've got a little problem here. My Goldstrike has a 2 tone system and no way to knock out the lower tone. Was wondering if there's something simple and cheap that would allow me to filter out the low tone after it leaves the headphone jack.. maybe something like what they use for speakers...

    What do you guys think of the Compass X-100?

    Should be arriving any time now. Got it for a good price and like the idea of switching between 2 & 4 filter mode. Want to see how well it does for prospecting too. ..Willy.

    Has anyone used a Hotfoot coil on the MXT?

    Got one coming in the mail in a few days and was wondering what others think of the coil. Will be doing some head to head testing against my XTerra 70 w. the HF 5x10" DD coil for coins/rings and small nuggets. Did real good with my previous MXT (w. 5x10"DD) in Ak. and lake/beach hunting in...

    Has anyone compared an X70 to a Eureka Gold? GB1?

    Was wondering how the X70 stacks up in prospect mode (with the HF DD coil) to a Eureka Gold running at 20 KHz or an original Gold Bug. ...Willy.

    Follow the paystreak...

    I was doing a bit of experimenting with the prospecting mode and decided to see how things would go if, while having the ground tracking on, I put it into the GB mode. Well, it operated quite the same as if it were in the regular prospecting mode.. with a constant GB reading. Since my ground is...

    Something strange with the X70

    Was doing some swinging with my X70 yesterday and noticed something. When in the prospecting (iron mask) mode with the tracking on and with beach mode activated, the iron mask was disabled. If I switched off beach mode, the iron mask settings came back. Hmmmm. Anyone else notice this? ..Willy.

    DD vs mono coils.. a question.

    This question has possibly been asked before, and if so could you please post the link, but what makes a mono coil more sensitive to smaller gold than a DD? I believe that the newest Minelab PI enables a person to switch off the receive coil on a DD to turn it into a mono, with increased...
