    Ring in for Christmas time.

    Congrats Steve. It's hard to believe we can go hunting here in the Midwest at the end of December but that is becoming more common in recent years. Global warming maybe???? V.P. Al Gore, still think there is no such thing in 1993 ???? :unsure:

    An old spot revisited

    Congratulations....... prime example of the old adage that no place is ever "worked out".

    Im Back!!

    This is so weird.............. Nancy and I were just talking about you yesterday wondering if you still hunted. Do you still live in the same town? We spent the week at Francis Park in Kewanee and got a little hunting in ourselves. Congrats on the IH Jeff.

    Coil question for the MXT experts ??

    That's the little sweetheart I used it a lot in "worked out" sites. The 10x12 was my go-to coil for everything else. (y)

    Coil question for the MXT experts ??

    I am not familiar with anything White's for the last 10 years since I moved to the Minelab line but with coils, it is a constant trade-off when changing size. A 10 inch coil gives you two more inches in your search pattern vs. 8 inches but your search width goes from 6 inches to 5 which will...

    Coil question for the MXT experts ??

    I'm no expert but I agree with woodbutcher 100%. I used two coils the last several years of Whites detectors hunting, the 10X12 for general coverage sampling and cladding and the 6X8 for serious hunting.

    Meter trouble with vintage White's 6000/di series 3

    Welcome to the Finds forums Stosh00 and hats off for Carl's input. Carl is more often 100% right than 1% wrong IMHO. :rofl: Since you are new on here, you might not know Carl was the engineering brains for Whites before going to Garretts where I lost contact with him. He may still be there for...

    Scabbard?

    That is what it looks like to me. Be careful with it. Looks like it could crumble with the slightest bump.

    Received my "new" DFX, like listening to an old friend

    Oh, the BIGFOOT........... coin magnets we called them. We covered schoolyards in a fraction of time that a standard coil took us with our pockets full :) When we started slowing down due to health and age, we sold them for a handsome profit, $350 each if I remember right and that has been...

    Badger me

    Congrats Steve, it's a beauty.
  18. Larry (IL)

    Need some advice

    A bad search coil is a key suspect but it could be something internal. If you can find another coil to try, that would be a good first step.
