    XL pro vs. 6000 di pro sl, does anyone have both machines?

    I am making observations with my xl pro against my 6000 di pro sl and find that the meter is substantially slower in response on the xl pro. I seem to do better in trashy areas with the 6000 di pro sl despite it's extra weight. Does anyone out there have both of these machines and have you made...

    Talked to White's about metal screw over coil.

    Talked to White's today and the metal coil mounting screw was changed about six years ago to fiberglass reinforced nylon. Current machines no longer use metal screws. The metal screw does show up in test and causes a slight north to south mushy needle response as compared to east to west during...

    meter calibration idea

    Maybe it would be a good idea for several people to place a clad quarter in the floor and swing the coil over it for a numerical reading to report on the forum. Add the numbers and divide by the number of reports for an average unless someone is way out of normal range. This test should show...

    The screw above the coil....possible problem??

    I either have a good imagination or what I seem to experience may have some validity. I notice that coils seems to be more sensitive to east, west motion in pin pointing than they are in the north and south movement. Sense the coil is round, it should have the same response to a target...

    Cleaning coins with white distilled vinegar and salt

    I don't try to clean most coins as a general rule, but on some that were out of the valuable range due to corrosion, I have done with just plain white distilled vinegar and salt. Just a few hours soaking with no electronics have produced great results. This method leaves a true color but frosty...

    Another walking liberty half

    Before today, I have only found two halves. The first one was a 1942 liberty, the next half was a 1968 40% silver Kennedy and then today another 1942 walking liberty. I was hunting a ball field that was once a school yard. The half turned up next to a sign post near the road. It was only five...

    Human nature...something to think about !

    In the years that I have been detecting, there is one thing that seems to stand out. I can't remember talking to hardly anyone where the main concern wasn't depth,depth,and more depth. The funny thing is, I haven't seen many use it.... even when they had it. Everybody wants a detector that will...

    Anyone have funny stories with your hunting partner?

    Has any one here ever played practical jokes on your hunting partner. My favorite is planting his hole. Everyone has experienced the ghost target, where you dig and dig and nothing shows up. Finally you give up with a puzzled look on your face after the signal turns to trash or goes away. I...

    Mr.Bills XL Pro modification

    I can't remember exactly which post it was but someone made mention of Mr. Bills 6000 XL Pro mod and some mention of a web site. Could I get more info on what this mod is and maybe a link or address to the website? Thanks.

    Anyone here from the Carolinas ?

    I would like to hear from some folks in the Carolinas about old coin finds or the lack of them. Because of a long warm season and seldom cold enough in the winter to cause ground freezing or frost lift, coins go very deep, very quick. I would like to know how deep you have unexpectedly turned...

    Lets try it again !

    I stopped back in today just to see if there were any "good riddance" messages and low and behold...a few folks actually made me feel welcome. I don't mean to tell anyone how to run their forum, but on many other forums that I have visited in the past, when a new comer came on board they were...

    Trust you meter !

    I swung my coil over this forum and the needle on my meter pegged dead on "cliquish". Thanks for the warm welcome guys and sorry for butting in.:thumbup:

    Hey Clondike clad....I forgot a good one!

    Indoor phone book test bed. Go to the most open room in the house and turn off things that will cause electrical interference. Put your machine in the all metal mode a find the clearest place in the floor. Now...go get about a 8" to 10" thick stack of phone books and a couple of book markers...

    O.K. Clondike....one more small improvement

    That nasty foam pad in the armrest has the life span of a house fly. Go to your local leather goods shop and get a nice piece of 3/16" thick black leather scrap and cut it to the same shape. Spray the back with spray adhesive and slowly pull the old foam pad off and clean residue off with "Goo...

    Tinytec pinpointer is great ! A definate best buy.

    I know that most have developed their preferences for pinpointers but for those who haven't, might I suggest the Tinytec. This little trick has some great features at a very reasonable cost. I never thought about the importance of a built in spot light but I'm here to tell you that it's a great...

    Volume control for XL pro?

    Has anyone modified an XL pro for a volume control like the 6000 di pro sl? I ask this question because I like many of the lightweight open headphones that come without individual controls, especially in hot weather. It seems that it would be fairly easy to drill a hole in the case and use a...
