    I have a question about the Xterra 305 concerning volumn loudness.

    Maybe it's the headphones, but they work good with the Ace 250. I have the 305 set at 10, but it's only about half maybe a little more then the Ace in loudness. I have a set of Koss that I might try on my next outing. Is this normal for the 305 ? Still have to admit I love that machine. The Ace...

    Two new toys this year :-))

    Saturday was the day for the sniper coil. I was amazed at the power that little thing has. It was only for about an hour, but it was sure fun. I've been over that thing so many times. I thought I cleaned it up. Was I surprised. Hopefully next weekend is another good one. Happy Hunting Bruce

    Took the Xterra 305 out for about an hour today :-))

    Had some things to do today, but I wanted to take the 305 out a spin. Really banged on them quarters. Still getting use to it, but it does do a great job. Just didn't want to spend time digging up pennies. Happy Hunting Bruce

    Quick question on the sniper coil ?

    Just got the sniper coil last week and the ground is still frozen. Took my other machine out yesterday to a school playground. It's all wood chips. The best I could get down is 2" to 3 " then it was impossible. How deep will the sniper go in good ground? I know you can crank it up all the way...

    I had my first hunt with the Xterra 305 today :-))

    This weekend we had a lot of rain. There was a break today and I took advantage of it. Went to a local school to see with the Xterra is all about. Went through the menu and set all. Ground balance with was a breeze. The only thing I did forget were my headphones. But no one was around. The...

    Question on the Xterra 305 ?

    On setting tones you have 1,2,3, and 99. What's 99? Don't see anything in the manual about that. Been having some fun with it. Ground balance is a breeze. Going thought the menu is great and easy. But just can't figure out what 99 means. Please help Thanks Bruce

    Questions on headphones

    Rattlers Headphones, or Jolly Rogers. Has anyone tried either? Kind of favor the Rattlers. You can hear what's going on around you. I have a good pair of koss with the volume control on the cord. It has the slider type. Sometimes when setting the volume I don't get equal volume on both sides...

    Just love this winter, but will it ever end. Some Ace fun.

    Been polishing up the Ace for the future hunts. When ever they come ? When I bought the Ace I also bought the 9 x 12, and later when Kellyco came out with the new 10 x 14 DD coil I bought that one also. But since the 9 x 12 is just sitting there I offered it to one of my buddies. So with the...

    Having some inside fun with the Xterra 305, But

    Tuesday we got hit with a snow storm, and got 14" to 17". We missed the one for Thursday night. Some areas got 2'. But when getting up this morning there was another 6" on the drive way. I do have to admit I love that machine. If you are able to get out think of us stuck inside. Happy Hunting...

    Since I live in Upper New York we got hit with another big snow storm.

    With the snow blowing and a doctor's appointment this afternoon I took the day off. So this afternoon I was going over the control panel of my new Xterrra 305, and the feel for my new machine. First question on Sensitivity: As I figure it 6 seem like a good starting point? The Ace was only...

    I received my new Xterra 305 :-))

    When this guy says it's new it's really new. :jump: Great transaction, Great communication by phone, and email, and super fast delivery. Soon as I got home I had to put it together, and start it up. What a dream machine :-)) But 79 pages in the manual ? Wish it came with a DVD. A little more...

    My new Xterra 305 is getting closer to be delivered.

    Checked the tracking for UPS and it's in Latham, NY. Just about 8 miles from me. Everyone wishes the weekend would last forever, but I can't wait till Monday. Digger wrote a great set up and review on the Xterra. It's going to be just like Christmas again :-)) Can't wait till Monday and it...

    Quick question on coils

    I'm basically a coin and jewelry hunter. When I'm hunting the play grounds or open fields I find the stock coil on any machine works pretty good, but I love the new 10x14 DD coil I just bought last year for Kellyco for $99.00. It covers ground with ease and pin pointing is a breeze. When we...

    I took the plunge and will probably be asking question.

    Been swinging the Ace going on 3 years now and I do love it, but been watching the finds with the Xterra. The right deal came across and usually I ponder over it. Then when I decide it's gone. This time I just went for it. Hope the group doesn't mind me asking for help Happy Hunting Bruce

    Could I have a show of hands if you own an Ace 250/150

    Going on 3 years with the Ace 250. Went through several Whites, and a Tesoro V. The White are a great machine, but they get heavy after awhile. But still long for the one I started with. Just old memories. I read of many that have had problems with the Ace was due to ground conditions, or...

    Hit a school I went to a long time ago.

    Yesteray I picked up everything from nickel up So today I went back for the pennies. The Ace is one fun machine to swing. Maybe next it'll be the 1350? But so far I have no complaints.. Lets see how the economy goes. Happy Hunting to all.. Bruce

    When comparing the Ace 250 to the 1350

    What advantages do you pick up. Just bouncing things around in my mind. Is it just as deep? Is pinpointing better? Overall give me your opinion. Thanks Bruce

    I have the Ace 250 and it's a great machine, but

    My question is about the Minelab Xterra 30. Is it a better machine? Either one has ground balance, and there both light weights. But the Xterra 30 has 4 tones and VCO pinpointing. I have the large coil which is great for beaches and the stock coil. I even added the rain cover, but now I'm...
