    Hunting sreason

    Now that some are putting up their dirt hunting for game hunting, be careful when venturing out in the fields and woods so you do not find yourself in the path of a bullet. All you hunters have a safe hunting season and all the diehard metal detecting hunters, try to stay out of these areas so...

    Format change

    Why did they change the format, I liked the old style much better. Terrible idea in my opinion.

    Just something to keep in mind

    Hunting my go to clad grounds which has yielded some silver coins plus some silver rings but yet no gold rings and this is in a pool area. This morning after digging good signals, I got a 70 using a 12 Khz program. My wedding ring comes in at 70 so I thought I'll dig it but it probably is a pull...

    Do you get confused by VDI's of machines

    I understand that tones are first, but do you get confused when using different machines with different VDI scales when going back and forth between machines?

    Coinshooter YTD total question

    I've been seeing posts where some are claiming 400.00 to even 700.00 YTD coin totals. Just curious as to what environments and circumstances allow such totals. This is my best YTD and I'm only at 100.00 and that has mainly climbed since I got permission to metal detect a closed club property...

    Question for Outlaw users

    I need an honest answer about how the 10x12 coil is on the machine. Is it quite a bit heavier and does it unbalance the machine by making it nose heavy? Keep in mind that this is for a person with physical impairments to his only remaining arm which has shoulder, wrist and hand damage. That is...

    Minelab service

    Anyone send their Xterra to Minelab in Illinois for service and if so what was your turnaround time? I sent mine in because the audio cuts out at times. Sent it Wed. 9/26 and they called Fri. 9/28 saying they rec'd it. Haven't heard anything from them yet so emailed Brian and was told turnaround...

    FS: Minelab Profind 25 pinpointer

    Slightly used Minelab Profind 25 pinpointer in very good condition. Tried it a couple times and it's just not for me. 100.00. Can email pics.

    Clarification needed

    I read where some are saying using notch doesn't result in loss of depth where using increased discrimination does. Is this true? If it is, then wouldn't it be better and give you the same result to say notch out 0-30 instead of setting discrimination at 30? So far the the type of hunting and...

    Constructive criticism wanted

    I've been using a coin and jewelry program I set up and could use opnions on it. I've been using it at an abandoned swim club and some older private yards with some success. It is a clad killer at the swim club and did result in some silver coins and at the private yard it has yielded 2 large...

    Audio cutting out on 705

    Seen some earlier post about Xterra users having this problem. What was the resolution? My Xterra 705 volume worked fine today at first, then went faint, and then cut ourt completely. New batteries and resets did nothing. Tapped control box and it came back on. Waiting to hear from Minelab. This...

    6" HF Coil

    I'm detecting an abanoned club site where the pool area is loaded with copper pennies. The other detector I use, as well as most detectors, cannot differentiate at all between copper penny and clad dime. I figured I will try my Xterra 705 with the 6" HF coil for separation purposes. For the heck...

    Any tips on seperating copper penny and dime

    Hunting an abandoned club grounds. The place is loaded with clad but also has produced a couple silver rings and silver dimes. Any tips on narrowing down the difference between copper pennies and dimes? Seems a reading of 88 and sometimes a 89 can be both although usually if I can get it to hit...

    Don't make this mistake

    I read where some Deus users insist they go by the iron audio buzz to determine if it's a coin or not. I've been experimenting with this and usually it is a good indication. A coin will be clear and crisp where another target might read as a coin and have the sound of a coin but also have the...

    Coil post closed

    Closing that debated post over proper coil choices was probably a good thing only because it wasn't accomplishing anything constructive, kind of like the other post about petitioning for a certain coil. Minelab seems to have left Xterra owners down and Coiltek has told me they are aware of the...

    Battery charge time

    How long does it take to charge your coil? Was out today and coil showed below half so I put it on the charger with the remote and headset. Been on for over 4 hours and the coil light is still on solid. Is this normal? I thought it was supposed to charge in a couple of hours.

    Nice day with the Deus

    Great weather today and had permission to hunt a yard where the house was built in the '30's. Set up a program for depth by adjusting to very low discrimination, increased sensitivity, and low reactivity number. As expected, like all older houses in this area, the yard was loaded with iron...

    Would be helpful to post your settings

    When your out and have a successful hunt, it could be very helpful to post your settings and why you used those settings. I know what works in your soil might not work elsewhere, but it's another option to try. The Deus allows just enough adjustment settings with out needing a masters degree to...

    New England Detectors

    Just purchased a mini sampson from Andrew at New England Detectors. Called yesterday to change style, and it arrived today. Called Andrew directly to make the change. Very fast shipping.
