    Exciting new Whites detector huh!

    I have a detecting buddy who has Parkinsons... He has a deep brain probe to control his Parkinsons, and has to avoid strong RF like microwave ovens, welding etc. He can't use Minelab broad band spectrum detectors because of the RF they put out, worse still are the full band spectrum...

    My Pocket Uni Probe holster.:smile:

    I figured I'd build a support system for my Pocket Uni probe... I cut it from some soft ( nearly 1/8" thick ) soft leather . The plastic tubing I used for the holster was made from some scrap 1" PVC tubing. I flared the end of the tubing by heating the last approx 3/4" of it up until it...

    I made a holster for my Sunray X1

    I saw a post where a guy made a holster for his X1, I thought it was a great idea ! And I made one for myself. Thought I'd share what I did.:smile: # I have also attached a piece of elastic to my X1 to give me a momentary pinpoint switch. To make the holster tube I used some 1 3/8" dia...

    Went away for 13 days, my grand daughter immediately gave me a virus that knocked me flat for ten of our 13 days...:stretcher: The SE was only swinging for a few hours, but she produced for me a nice silver 1943 shilling at 11 inches... And a few other coins as well... Better luck next time !!!

    Concentric or widescan, ~ :surrender: how to test ???

    Our Tesoro distributor has also dug up an 8 1/2" un-labelled Tesoro coil with a 4 pin Lobo plug, ~ it is a solid coil, ( that with no hole in the center ) he's not sure if it is a wide scan. I'm figuring that because the coil is an 8 1/2" coil with no hole in the centre, that it is a wide...

    Got to the beach for 3 hours today.

    Got to the beach for about three hours today, with my SE, and my mighty Sunray X12... A lot of black sand about mixed with numerous of "hot" pebbles, this stirred things a bit and caused a chirpy erratic threshold. Dropping my sensitivity made no difference but changing to semi-auto sensitivity...

    Fitted a SS Garrett Sea Hunter arm rest...:cam:

    I never liked the arm strap idea on the Explorer arm rests, so I fitted this light SS armrest from a Garrett sea hunter. It feels really good, and gives total vertical arm containment, while allowing quick and easy arm withdrawal... The ring above the handgrip is for clipping on a bungy...
