    Quick hunt on my property

    Took a quick hunt with my dogs on my land today. My dogs love to go metal detecting, but they never find any metal! I found these 4 shotgun shells. First time I found a complete cartridge (Federal Monarch-cir. 1950's-60's), Remington Express-cir. 1944-1960), Remington-UMC Shurshot...

    Questions about using the 705

    Hi, I have been using the X705 for about 3 months now and am getting to know it but I am still a novice. (have read most of the e-book on the Xterra, but my retention is not great at my age!), so I have some areas I need help with: 1. What is the best coil for finding deep lead minnieballs...

    Xterra finds for the last 8 weeks

    Put away my Vaquero for a while to learn the Xterra 705. I hunted mostly the same sites I always do, since I haven't found many new places lately. This is a compilation of the finds there weren't foil, bottle caps, cans, large iron such as ax heads or plow blades. Found 122 zinc pennies, 1...

    Wireless Headphones w/ the Xterra

    Since I got the Xterra 705, I have been Rapoo H3070 wireless headphones, especially in the summer as they are light and cool and work quite well. Got them for about $30. Andy from Hillsborough

    Frustration this season!

    After a summer where it hardly rained so the ground was like cement and the air temp. in the 90's and humid, it has finally cooled off but has now rained for 8 straight days so I cannot get out and hunt! I love reading about the great finds though; just gets my energy up when it stops raining...

    Help with relic hunting

    I am going to hunt an old CW military encampment which I have hunted before with only moderate luck using my Vaquero. I now have had a Xterra 705 for a few months, and bought it specifically to hunt a bit deeper with better discrimination. The campground has been used most recently as a park...

    Found this a while ago but don't know what it is.

    Can't remember where I found this (not the quarter!), but it appears to be brass or some heavy nonferrrous metal that is quite hard. Heavy tarnish that I could not remove. Any ideas? Thanks, Andy from Hillsborough

    Questions from a novice 705 user.

    Just lost the message I typed out. So here I go again. Background: I live in central NC with mostly red clay soil with iron. I have had the Xterra 705 for about a month now. So far I have only been hunting coins and jewelry. I have reread the manual and am reading the E-book. I also did a...

    First real hunt with the x705

    Took the 705 out for the first real hunt after learning some of the basics. Went to a church camp ground that I have hunted for years, so I knew what to expect. I used a sensitivity setting of 25, the factory programs #1 and 2, and a pair of wireless head phones, ground balanced automatically...

    Bought myself an Xterra 705

    HI, Bought myself an Xterra 705 to complement my Vaquero. It has been so hot and humid here (NC) that I have had little time to use it. I have been reading Randy Horton's Book on understanding the Xterra, and I know I have a lot to learn. I always wanted a deep, TID machine, and I hope this...

    Vaquero Depth Test

    Fletch88 asked me to test my Vaquero in DISC mode using max sensitivity and threshold at 2:30 and thought I would be able to hear a minnieball at 17". I did more than that, I tested a whole array of things in AM and DISC between iron and 5 cents. Here are the results:

    Exterra 305, 505, 705

    I am trying to find a deep tonal id machine to complement my Vaquero. I have been drawn to the exterra series and wanted to know which gives you more bang for the buck (305, 505, 705). I generally hunt coins, jewelry, and relics in trashy areas with a lot of iron in clay soil. I do not...

    Continuing saga of my Vaquero

    As I have posted before, I have been disappointed in the depth I have been getting on lead relics with my Vaq. I sent it to Rusty for a check and he retuned the coil. I did some air testing just to check, and can get about 11 to 12 " in AM or low DISC with a silver quarter. With a minnieball...

    Minelab Musketeer XS

    I decided to sell my Minelab Musketeer XS as I am getting older and it is getting heavier. It is a beep and dig machine like my Vaquero, and I am looking to buy a tonal TID machine. Will consider all reasonable offers. It is sold as is with a single coil. From my experience with it, it seems...
