    XP Bootcamp round up 11/4

    To sum it up in one word would be to do a disservice to Andy and Charlene. Awesome. Informative. Educational. Outstanding. You get the idea. Here's the thing. Most of what you read on the forums is wrong in terms of setting up your machine. There really is a common sense way to do it based on...

    My second find with the Deus

    I haven't really been able to get out and hunt much the past 3 weeks since I got my Deus. Teaching, coaching golf and freaking hot Santa Ana winds have just made hunting hard to do. I got a call for a lost Titanium wedding ring at the beach in the dry sand this afternoon. It seems on Saturday my...

    Anyone going to Gettysburg for bootcamp 11/4?

    I bought my ticket last week. I'm flying out from Los Angeles and I couldn't be more ready to learn all i can about my new XP. Hope to meet some of you there.

    So if I had the deus and 3 different coils

    Would I have the equivalent of 3 different detectors? I remember seeing an Andy Sabisch video/comment in the past couple of weeks or so referencing this point so i thought I'd ask all of you. I have the 11 LF and if I got the 9" round HF and the 9.5 elliptical HF would that be like having 3...

    WTB XP Deus Hard Travel Case

    I'm looking to purchase an XP Deus hard travel case in good condition. PM me if you have one you're willing to sell and maybe we can work out a deal.

    First Deus find was a good one

    I got my deus on Friday and spent about an hour at an old permission to just start the learning process. Got nothing but junk but felt I was moving forward. I didn't hunt yesterday due to a bad cold and Santa Ana winds but I got a call this afternoon from a young lady who had lost her ring...

    Initial Deus run

    I got my deus today, unpacked it, charged it, turned it on and got no sound in the headphones. I have the WS4 so right before the panic started to set in and after cycling through the remote 30 times I turned to the web and found out I needed to pair my headphones with the coil. Finally I had...

    How hard to learn the Deus?

    I've had many detectors over the years and I currently have a CTX 3030. It hasn't exactly been a marriage made in heaven as it's spent quite a bit of time at the shop getting something fixed. I have an Excal II for the beach but want a good machine for the dirt. How hard is it to go from...

    Got my CTX back from KellyCo

    I had the screen fixed for the 2nd time in 5 months of owning it. All of my programs were wiped clean so tonight I hooked it back up to CTX and was going to put everything back. Connected to Xchange and it says my firmware is out of date and it needs an update. So I update it and now the coil...

    Excalibur Changing it's tunes

    I bought a new Excal II last week and finally got to take it out the other day. I didn't submerge it as I was working the wet sand and wading in and out of the shore break up to 1-2 feet. My threshold tone changed every so often going from the light type sound to one where it sounded like I'd...

    Love my CTX, just don't know if I'll be able to keep it:ranting:

    This is my 2nd CTX in 5 months, both brand new. The first one developed a screen problem 3 weeks after I bought it. Vertical lines started appearing on my screen and Jamie took care of me right away and sent me out a new machine and off I went. Fast forward to today. I finally get out to hunt...

    ADVICE NEEDED

    I have about a 45-60 minute window to hit an area tomorrow morning during low tide to look for a Tungsten wedding band before the tide comes back in and I get beat up by the shore break. My question is this. Should I discriminate out all other signals for this limited time (using a Tungsten ring...

    Headphone port waterproof question

    If I use my regular koss headphones that I got with my CTX and plug them in directly to the machine will that connection be water proof? I'm going to be needing to go into the surf knee-waist high and will likely get some wave action that could dunk me and the machine. Mine is v2 3 months old in...

    Another WM-10 issue

    Has this happened to anyone. On my last 3 times out with the CTX I've had an ongoing problem with the WM-10 where I finally gave up on it today. Here's what's happening. I'm about 35-40 minutes into my hunt and I hear a "snap" sound in my headphones and in about 30 seconds or so afterward my...

    Beach hunting break in threshold

    I got out on the beach for the first time yesterday to hunt and it was a great learning experience. The beach I was hunting was really quiet, low trash but periodically I'd be swinging and the threshold would break consistently over the same spot but nothing registered in terms of sound or TID...

    Shout out to Minelab Customer Service

    While one never wishes they had to use customer service it's inevitable that at some point in time everything will break and need to be fixed. Unfortunately mine occurred after only 9 days of owning my new CTX as my screen developed a problem and as a result I posted it on another forum(would...

    TTF- Sounded like a freight train in my head

    I got my new etrac two weeks ago and have been using it while it's not raining. Today I tried to use TTF on an old house site I've searched before 20 times at least and where I pulled my first etrac silver (in Andy S coin mode) the other day. To be perfectly honest it was a failure. I have no...

    Hitting the beach Monday

    School's out for the week and I'm hitting the beach Monday for the first time with the V3i. I'm in SoCal (Ventura County) and our sand is the dreaded black sand in the wet. I'm looking for advice on how to set up the machine. I'd like to detect both dry and wet sand but not in the water. Should...

    Finally

    After two weeks and three outings, I finally found a coin with my V3i. 65 quarter, thought it was going to be silver given the area I was in. Two minutes later found a 1950 Wheatie. Fixed my recovery delay to better match my former MXT and I definitely understood the machine better. I will...

    Recovery Speed

    I'm having some issues with what I perceive to be recovery speed. I had an MXT before and I feel that the recovery speed was much faster on it than what I'm currently experiencing now on the V3i. I'm using the coin program with no modifications. Am I missing something? Thanks dave
