    Target stabilizer on the 70

    I hunted about 2 hours tonight with the target stabilizer on for the first time. I dig a lot of trash and one 1944 wheat. But I think I like it. How about you?

    Moose57 made me a great deal! A+ Great seller!

    Moose57 said he was selling a new 10.5 DD HF Xterra coil. That is exactly what I got. It was packaged nice and super fast shipping!

    Is this Civil War era?

    I'm really new to relic hunting. So new I believed this buckle to be a kids belt buckle. But I saw some old Civil war knapsack buckles had hearts on them. Do you think this buckle is one of those?

    Dredging old pond. Suggestions anyone? :shrug:

    I secured permission to detect a small 1/3 acre pond. What is special about the pond is that it was spring fed and said to be healing if bathed or swam in. There even was a slide for the kids to use. It it said wealthy people from all over traveled to the pond to swim and bathe. The years it...

    500 degrees for 5 minutes equals a more stable Xterra. Details inside! :detecting:

    I think I may have posted this mod a couple of years ago on my X30. So now I've done the mod to the X70. I have a commercial heat gun that I set on 500 degrees F. Then I soften the ABS plastic stand. Wait until it's like a noodle then press it to a flat surface. I also narrowed the arm cuff...

    Xterra DD coils? :detecting:

    I have read the FAQFAQ a few times. I can't find a good answer to this question. Let me first say that the Headhunter's and Fisher 1280 runs at a very low frequency. I believe about 2.5 kHz? The Fisher CZ series is 5/15 kHz. It has been said that the HF DD coil is good on the salt. But...

    Brand loyalty? :shrug:

    I used to be an exclusive Whites user. From 1984 to about 2002 or so. I never gave the other brands a look. I was just happy swinging my 4 pounder around. Then I just thought I would buy a different brand to try along my Whites. Not that Whites are a bad detectors. They are very good. So...

    Just a little Xterra info :nerd:

    I usually change my batteries when they were half empty. This time I ran them all the way down. I had no problem digging deep targets with the battery meter on low. Even when I finally got the dreaded low beeps telling me to change the batteries. After 4 tone alerts (about 10 minutes) I...

    After 2 1/2 years I sold my Ace 250 :cry:

    And I bought a brand new one! :clapping: I have been watching the auction prices and saw that the used ones were bringing as much as the new ones. So I stuck the old 250 on the big auction. I got 183.50 out of it! Plus shipping of $14.99. Thats a total of $198.49 Minus the actual...

    Hip waders and cold arms :detecting:

    Well last summer was my first time I water hunted. I started late but had a good 3 months of hunting off and on. Were talking fresh water beaches. Well I went to Bass Pro to buy some hip waders so I could get out in the cold water. But then I thought to myself. When I get out in the cold...

    Pinpointing with the Ace 250. My first video also. I hope this helps!!! :detecting:

    It took me about 3 hours to finally get this video on youtube. I hope some people can understand what I'm talking about. Let me know how you like it? I used the lowest image quality I could and it looks like it might run a little slow. Sorry http://youtube.com/watch?v=liyIUKonpGs

    Venting about yesterdays almost hunt! :rant:

    1st test run of the 6 inch HF DD coil :thumbup:

    Two words. BUY IT. I hunted two pebbled tot lots with the coil. Of course it picked up the coins. But what was surprising was the little bitty tiny targets it could hit at depth. I'm sure this thing will get me a nugget if I ever get to where nuggets are! :confused: Also I wanted to...
