    Anyone tested the XT-Pro in rusty nails

    Do you think the TID instability is a byproduct of a too narrow loop detection zone side to side, or is it the electronics, or is frequency the reason? (These coils are far different in looks from the FBS ones on previous units and being able to handle several frequencies may mean resonance is...

    Anyone tested the XT-Pro in rusty nails

    From what I recall the 705 was one of the better advanced VLF non multi's out with solid and deep i.d. and many more features, and changing the loop to change the frequency was easy. The XT Pro is a beginner's unit with a lot of features and aimed right at NM in the low priced market. ML just...

    FISHER NEW MULTI FREQUENCY DUE THIS YEAR (from Steve Herschbach's site)

    Put it back up, people are looking and AA's last longer than 9volt.

    FISHER NEW MULTI FREQUENCY DUE THIS YEAR (from Steve Herschbach's site)

    I would be amazed that any VLF types would work in black sand: P.I.'s working in that matrix is literally unique to the design (and Charles Garrett wrote about this.) I used my older unit in ground even worse than that which contained heavy iron ore with no problem. What seems so odd is the Tdi...

    Vanquish iron bias?

    Did they ever get the iron bias problem solved on the Vanquish that was misidentifying a nickle and dime together as ferrous? Or is something else the cause?

    FISHER NEW MULTI FREQUENCY DUE THIS YEAR (from Steve Herschbach's site)

    I have known Old Beechnut (Timothy Joe P.) for many years and gave him a older Eric Foster Pulse (pre gold scan.) I knew Eric from '79 and his stateside rep Tony Spooner sent me the 1st Goldscan prototype that ground cancelled and had high vs low conductors--it worked in bad ground: one was sent...

    For God's sakes, heavy? I am paralyzed from the waist up on the left and the arm is gone........my right arm is worn out from doing the work of two and my elbow is missing cartilage and I cannot translate doctor talk for my shoulder, and hand (and have sculliosis and spinal stenosis and a...

    Anyone tested the XT-Pro in rusty nails

    Ty Brook would agree with you on the 705, it was his go to detector including prospecting, and he is a radio engineer that understands detectors and built vacuum tube VLFS.

    Anyone tested the XT-Pro in rusty nails

    George Payne first stated that discrimination was circular rather than linear before Teknetics was formed. He also said using higher frequency/energy could push higher targets into the iron range all the way around: did this also push nails up into the conductive range as I experienced maxing...

    FISHER NEW MULTI FREQUENCY DUE THIS YEAR (from Steve Herschbach's site)

    Is it motion or non motion, and if motion is there a pinpoint? Is it a DD or mono loop, and is it hard wired? Are small nails put in low or high conductor, and does it ground balance? (I have not seen a good video yet,) Old Beech Nut seems to like it.

    FISHER NEW MULTI FREQUENCY DUE THIS YEAR (from Steve Herschbach's site)

    My CZ's get 12"+ on cents and dimes so if they break and are unrepairable will look at a Manticore as Nasa Tom likes it. The Impulse AQ is interesting too but $2000 is too stiff & in 52 years I have never paid that much per the economy of scale. As to the Deus, I prefer hard wired, but good...

    FISHER NEW MULTI FREQUENCY DUE THIS YEAR (from Steve Herschbach's site)

    Does the Impulse AQ separate targets into high & low conductors, or group them all together?

    FISHER NEW MULTI FREQUENCY DUE THIS YEAR (from Steve Herschbach's site)

    SOMEONE needs to build a fire in FRL at El Paso because it seems their latest offerings are several years old and are the cheap F Series made in China and they excite NOBODY. (reminds me of Whites before they closed) :blowup:

    FISHER NEW MULTI FREQUENCY DUE THIS YEAR (from Steve Herschbach's site)

    (I note this is 2022 also.) That is an odd statement about spending money on an American detector if you use one from France and then state preemptively that it will be mighty difficult to out perform your foreign detector, based on what,? You have not even seen much less tested the new detector...

    Dogs and metal detectors

    My Great Dane used to tag along and she would watch me. I'd dig a target and move on. At some point I looked back and saw her digging out the place I just filled in, all of them. As I lived across the street from the school I just took her home. What was worse was little kids throwing cents on...

    Anyone know the history of the CZ line of detectors?

    On the contrary my 7A & 70Pro (and the latest 3D) from NASA Tom are as deep, 11 to 12 inches; and 3 friends digital units are similar and that is a good sample size. The electronics improved inside if nothing else. But I'd love to hear your reason for saying that: anecdotal, or gossip. (I wonder...

    Anyone know the history of the CZ line of detectors?

    Its a detector design over 30 years old with some stiff competition both featurewise and on prices, and I hear rumors Fisher is working on a new model, the CZX built like a F-75. You can still find the CZ 3D online and the CZ-21 is listed by FRL too. (The 2 deepest divers are the CZ21 and the...

    Any CZ-5 users?

    Keep both of these adds: Keith can repair anything if he has the parts and schematics. Tom is tops in telling you how to do things so read all the articles on his site. When I read his "Beneath the mask" article I thought he was a nut, but a dedicated one to go through so much effort. His...
