    Spectrum XLT rear display cover broken

    I discovered the rear of my Spectrum XLT's display pod cover is broken and the rest hanging from a ribbon cable. I don't see an obvious way to separate the cover from the front cover piece. Are there hidden screws, or do I pry and snap if off - what's the trick? Also I you know of a spare rear...

    Excalibur running down batteries too fast

    You might have a poor battery connection somewhere that creates a voltage drop. Measure the current to see if it is normal. If so, measure the voltage right at the board to see if it is the same as across the battery.

    Cleansweep coil

    I have a Tejon that is in such great shape, with 3 coils. I mainly beach hunt though so I got other detectors for the beach. But now the beaches have been lacking targets and the best shot is the dry. I wonder if it is worth searching for a Cleansweep for it for the dry. Would be a lighter setup...

    good water/dive boot

    On second pair trilastic. Seem good but try not pulling them off by pressing heel with other foot - they can come apart at the seam. I use 2.5mm socks.

    Will we ever see a light weight CTX ?

    I was going to try putting the CTX pod and battery on my belt or something but then you lose the counterbalance. The battery could be made lighter with just 2 cells instead of 4. After using it last Saturday at the beach I think the main issue is using it in the water - it just doesn’t want to...

    SoCal beaches open for detecting?

    I tried Laguna and Aliso Saturday. Laguna was not bad. I hunted 7am til 10:45am and most people were walking their dog or getting exercise and many had masks. After that I went to Aliso - ton of people, few or no masks, parking lot full so I gave up. So go early or evenings. Cams at Laguna...

    there are pi kits based on the surf pi. You have to make your own coil and housing though. Check geotech for more info.

    Save all aluminum

    Here in southern California we lost the major chain of reclamation centers. Anything left has huge lines as it is a major source of income for some people. How many returned cans have the virus on them too... i now give mine to a school and lose 40$ a month I used to get.

    17" coil....yea or nay?

    Yeah even with the harness you still have to swing the detector mass sideways and your elbow now will start complaining.
  16. B

    Not sure what I was thinking,,

    That looks totaly fixable. Look at the pcb and a schematic of a similar detector and match up functional areas then understand what the pots do and wire them up. You’ll learn alot and be proud of yourself. Trade ya a minelab pinpointer for it.

    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    You need the solar panel to perpendicular to the sun to work. And it has to be full sun,like mid-day. If you can’t guarantee these then you need a larger solar panel and it will be necessary to have a battery in the machine to function when the above conditions aren’t met. In other words, it...

    Super modified CTX?

    I use the harness but as you say, it’s the faster swinging that is causing the problem. If I reduce the mass I’ll be better off. The other probable cause is the resistance In the water. I was spending more time in the water than I usually do and the CTX really has a lot. I have ideas I need to...

    Discerning the sounds of silence,and other things.(One Hand Clapping)

    Yes, you have normal-like a beep, long-a longer beep, smooth-like long but smoother transitions between states, and pitch hold- which holds a target tone unril the next one. I use the smooth setting. Gives your brain a chance to recognize the small/deep targets in a fast sweep that you’d miss...
