    Underwater short antenna experiment.

    had seen a vague reference that the antenna cable from the coil did not have to come all the way up to the RC to get a signal. I don't dive but, may want to detect the edge of fresh water streams, ponds and lakes. What I came up with will allow submerging the coil about 20" inches or so. It...

    Shaft Diameters?

    Looking to do some shaft hacking and wondered if I could get the shaft diameters for the middle shaft on a X-Terra. I need the upper necked down OD and the lower end ID (or the OD of the lower shaft). Caliper measurements would be best. Thanks

    Might be time for XP to speak out on what is coming.

    Minelab is sucking up millions of dollars in purchases with the release of the Equinox. Many first time buyers as well as upgrade buyers will spend their money with Minelab leaving few interested in the offerings of XP. The chatter on the Deus forums has slowed considerably since the release of...

    Tracing cast iron pipe?

    A friend has asked me to try to trace a 6" cast iron pipe from his house out to a un-located septic tank. It appears that this pipe could be as much as 36" below ground. Is the 11" coil likely to be able to trace it and what settings would be suggested? I have been trying to reject this type...

    Wireless Hedphones?

    How are the optional wireless headphones? Being bluetooth there is a concern about lag?

    Masonic token from the 30s

    Did a little hunting on 80 wooded acres and found this above a pond. Not very valuable, but one of my more unusual finds. Back before the Nazis the swastika was a good luck symbol; it was kind of startling to see it when I brushed the dirt of the token.

    Great repair service from XP USA

    I used my Deus several weeks ago it the cold with out the Aryca Aricase-Wave case. The next time I got it out only the top half of the screen would light and there were some ugly diagonal blackish-brown streaks across it. I looked closely and determined that the underlying glass screen was...

    Any down side to notching out the 92 up in 8 kHz?

    Getting to many pesky 90+ signals. If notching them out isn't the best approach what is?

    Initial impression of the 17" coil.

    Over the last two days I had a chance to use it for about 6 hours in places I have hit before with a 705 and the CTX with both the 6" and 11" coils. I had no exceptionally deep finds but did uncover some things that had been missed before. As other have said it may have been because of the...

    Auditory vs Visual - Do sounds still matter as much?

    How important are the auditory settings and alerts to use of the CT compared to the visual? Back in the day, auditory feedback is all detectors offered and many of the old hands got very adept at interpreting that information from the analog and the early digital machines.More recently screens...

    Post brought over from Resource center: Software update suggestions for CTX 3030.....Feel free to join the discussion....

    There is so much unrealized potential for productivity enhancing customization. If Minelab doesn't want to put the effort in to bringing it forth, maybe it could be opened up for someone else to develop. I imagine there are a number of CTX users that would even pay a little to see some...

    Hunting for a long lost wedding band?

    I have been asked by a friend to look for a long lost wedding band that belonged to his grandmother. It was lost around their farm home that is now torn down 50+ years later. I know the odd of finding it are extremely slim but would like to give it the best shot I can. The choices of...

    1906 house kicked my butt today!

    Have had the 705 for three weeks. 5 quarters, 8 dimes, 1 nickel, and 41 pennys after about 25 hours of swinging. Read the book multiple times and just about every post back 145 pages. I started in 28 tone and usually knock -8 and 48. I was excited to get to hunt a 1906 house that has not...

    New 705 owner says thanks!

    First I would like to thank the many contributors to this forum for the wealth of information here. The vast amount of knowledge freely shared and the support offered by the members were major factors in my decision to buy the 705. I read most of the first 110 pages of posts here. I bought my...

    What settings when loaning a 705 to a beginner.

    If you were loaning a 705 to a family member for some basic "treasure hunting" while somewhat supervised; how would you set it? How about a wife that doesn't "want" any help or supervision?

    Second coil for Arkansas back country?

    I am getting ready to order a 705. I will get the 6" 18.75 DD for all the usual reason. Is the soil here in the rocky back country mineralized enough to make the Gold Pack 5" by 10" 18.75 DD a benefit over the standard 9" 7.5 concentric? I will eventually by more coils but i want to get some...
