    CTX 3030 screen replacement

    Had a few vertical lines in my display. Bought an aftermarket replacement and put it in. Everything worked OK except the backlight. Not sure if its a ribbon cable issue where I did not get one seated properly or a problem with the new replacement screen. Will take it apart again and re-check...

    Think I Got A Good One Yesterday

    Was coin hunting yesterday around an old home site today and got a good one I think? Scratched the back side with the shovel as I was digging it , it was ~8" deep. A plain tongue portion of a two piece buckle. Searched the area well but no sign of the other half. Let me know if you think it...

    New T2 User, Need Some Advice

    Just got my new T2 last week. Took it out this past weekend for a home site yard hunt. Did manage to find a few wheat pennies, a silver Roosie, and some modern coins. Was having some trouble with the pin pointing. Could center on the targets OK (I have an Explorer and am used to DD coils)...

    Will other Brand's coils work on a T2?

    T2 is a 13 khz machine. Has a large 11" double D coil. Are there any other machines with smaller DD coils (8" round or elliptical) that would work on the T2? Thanks! Jeff

    One of Those Unusual Signals

    I went out yesterday to re-hunt an old home site with my new Explorer SE to see if I had missed anything with my Explorer II. Got an unusual signal under the cloths line. The signal would only sound off in one direction and not at all when I tried moving 90 degrees and swinging again. When it...

    Thought I had found a good one!

    Got a great signal today with the Explorer II. Started to dig and saw the glitter of GOLD! I found a gold railroad pocket watch. But when I got it home and cleaned it up, found it was marked 10 K GFD. Really got me going but I'll guess I need to keep looking for the real thing! HH Jeff

    Straight Shaft Handle

    For those of you that have made your own straight shafts for detectors, where did you get the clamp-on handle / grip? Did you buy it from a detector company or find them from an outside source? About how much are they? Thanks! Jeff

    GTI Modified Arm Cuff

    Had one of my detecting buddies had complained about his Garrett GTI-2500 arm cuff. He is a big and tall guy. The present location of the 2500's arm cuff would hit his arm about half way between the wrist and elbow. His arm had a loose fit in the cuff and he didn't care for the shape of it. I...

    Explorer II Metal Replacement Stand

    I got tired of my metal stand bending on my Explorer II. The paint started flaking off and it started to crack at the bending points. I made this new one in a "coat hanger" shape. Gave it a black powder coating and added some rubber feet. Can also use it to hang the detector on a hook in the...
