    Time for new model?

    Is it just me or is time for Minelab to make a new X-terra to distance the 705 from the ATPro a little more? Imagine a new cheaper, sleeker, lighter, waterproof 705, that blows the ATPro away. It could be like a smaller lighter CTX, but single frequency and one dimensional VDI instead of FE and...

    Good Deal

    I am allowed to post a good deal on a Bounty Hunter Tracker IV at a popular national crafts store chain for $63 or will that be against the forum rules and anger the sponsors? I guess the users could google it and find it themselves though.

    Silver Peso

    I received permission to detect a house built in 1930 by a wealthy individual, in a formerly nice area. I found a nice big silver coin. 16.66 grams total, .720 fine silver, 0.385 troy oz silver content. [attachment 266350 pesogrfr.jpg] [attachment 266351 pesogrbk.jpg] When I found it I...

    Why isn't there an 8" DD coil for the X-Terra?

    Why don't you make and 8" elliptical DD coil for the X-Terra? Why do we like switching back and forth from 10" or 9" to 6" so much? I guess we are just supposed to use the stock coil. They can call it the RyanChappelle. I guess it will have to be a MF since I have a 305.

    Using a Magnetron to Heat Coins and Find them

    I guess GPR would be superior, but it would be cool to take a radar magnetron and irradiate a lawn in the evening and use IR goggles to find the coins, due to the heat they produce from absorbing mircowaves. Or just let the shallow coins burn dead spots in the lawn. Maybe some day soon they...

    305 with 6" HF DD finds merc

    I picked up my X-Terra for the first time in a year in the hopes that the 6" HF DD coil would be sensitive enough to detect some silver chain a girl supposedly lost. I did not want to put my E-Trac down. I found my self examining every iron signal, and investigating select ones, especially one...

    Soil Changes

    You always hear that you should return to places where you previously found silver. After finding 4 silver coins at a hunted out site, I might have one theory as to why a return visit might suddenly yield targets that were previously invisible. We have very hot and dry summers with soil with...

    E-Trac VDI Chart Sticky?

    -------Nevermind I saw it once I posted this and the new message popped up right below the one I was looking for. LOL. ----- What happened to the sticky at the top of the forum with the E-trac VDI chart? I can't find it by searching the forums either. This still needs to be a sticky at least...

    Mineralization

    "For those areas with high levels of mineralization, the CTX 3030 introduces Ground Balance technology that, when used with Ground Coin Separation will stabilize target ID and help find those targets that have, up until now, been masked by ground noise." Sounds promising but there are bad...

    Why wouldn't a 10DD come standard?

    Why wouldn't a 10" DD coil come standard on the XTerra detectors? The two coils the 9" Concentric and the 10" DD both retail for the same price. At least it could be an option. Those that live in mineralized areas would need it, but no you have to buy the detector with the 9" con for $400 then...

    Pick Six Dimes

    Found six dimes in a tight area in only a few hours at this 1920s built townhome complex that were a well to do place to live 60 years ago. The bronze costa rican coin was about the size of double eagle could you imagine?? [attachment 224190 sixFeb22fr.JPG] [attachment 224189 SixFeb22bk.JPG]

    Walker Found Behind Whites Guys

    Found the half dollar Friday in a very junky city 200+ house tear down area. Lightning struck, after locatin a few whears, I got a steady 12-47 that bounced 06-47, and 10-46. I felt good about it since it was near a wheat and not as blaring as the copper pipe, and can tops were with very...

    Misprint on 9" Concentric 3 khz page? Lists 305/30

    They just put all the X-Terra's on there systematically by mistake, right? The 3 khz coil is not compatible with the 305, right? Anyone ever try it? http://www.minelab.com/usa/products/consumer/accessories/coils/9-concentric-3-khz-coil 9" CONCENTRIC 3 KHZ COIL Application This low...

    Silverware

    I found this yesterday at a school. It reads "G R CALHOUN & CO. STER" underneath and engraved A. P. on top. Researching this I found: "George Reid Calhoun / G.R. Calhoun & Co. Nashville, TN 1847-1903 Worked with his brother William H. Calhoun. Upon his brother's death in 1865, he continued...

    Roman Coin, Found in Tot Lot

    I Detected this in a tot lot lying on the ground. I would write it off as a fake, but why forge a $10 coin? The closest match I can find is Delmatius, Caesar. (335-337 AD) It registered 12-5 and I pinpointed expecting a speck of can or foil, but hoping for an engagement ring since it was near...

    Temperature Effects

    Is it just me? I spent the summer detect in our 95+ degree heat, June until the end of September. It was also very dry, and still is. From May until July I found around 60-70 wheat pennies and hundreds of memorials, while finding four silver coins, a war nickel, 2 mercs, and a silver wash...
