    Need an upper shaft for a CZ70a Pro

    I'm trying to help out a friend who has a CZ70a Pro. Many years ago the handle broke off and he apparently tossed out the upper shaft. Anybody got one? I've attached a picture I found that shows the entire unit. The shaft/handle I need is at the bottom of the frame. Thanks. Bill (S.CA)

    Need a battery tray for a 1970's Era BFO

    Hi everyone. I recently picked up an old Garrett BFO from the 1970's that is in pretty good shape. I'd like to get it running again but it is missing the original battery tray. Garrett no longer makes them, although they have suggested using a different battery tray that they have in stock...

    Not a comparison.. Transitioning from X-Terra 705 TO Whites Spectra V3 ?

    Neil, I had a lot of hours on the X-70 & was involved in some field testing of the X-705, and I currently have, among other machines, a V3i. To be very honest, outside of the fact that they are metal detectors, they are totally different animals. Despite its many options, to me the X-70-705...

    The rest of the hunt........ 9 silvers

    Larry, Nice finds. Would you mind sharing the settings that you used on the V3i? I have another high end machine myself and was contemplating comparing signals this weekend at some sites here in S. CA. You can PM me if that is more convenient or email me at wpaxt@aol.com. Thanks. Bill (S. CA)

    I chased a MDer OFF MY BEACH....................

    Ferd, This happens frequently out here. We have large ocean beaches but hunters are like lemmings sometimes. There are really two issues here. One is the trash. I commend you for telling the guy to throw his trash away. No excuse for that. I have the same problem with jerks who don't fill...

    At THe Saltwater Beach With The X-Terra 70 & 18.75 kHz Coil

    After spending last weekend learning the X-Terra with the stock coil I decided to hook up the high frequency 18.75 kHz coil and give the machine another run at Santa Monica Beach. Since the X-Terra is a very sensitive detector I was very curious to see how it would do in finding low...

    My First Weekend With The X-Terra 70

    After a number of months using both the X-Terra 30 and 50 I was asked by Minelab to field test the new X-Terra 70 which I received this week. As with the previous field tests I was asked only to share my opinions of the new model with users and the best way that I know of is to post my...

    At The Beach With The New 18.75 kHz Coil

    Well, after having received the X-Terra 50 18.75 kHz coil just before Christmas, I finally had a full weekend set aside to run it through a field test. And if any of you saw the Rose Parade today, you can see that timing is everything. Naturally I picked a weekend that featured the worst...

    Saltwater Beach and The X-Terra 30

    Well, thank goodness, time finally permitted my trek to the saltwater beaches of Southern California with the X-Terra 30. I was able to hunt Santa Monica at low tide for nearly three hours today. So here goes: Performance The 30 ran smoothly in the wet with the sensitivity anywhere 6 to 8...

    X-Terra 30 First Impresssions in the Field

    As promised, here are my thoughts and impressions on the X-Terra 30 which I received from Minelab this week to field test. I was able to spend a number of hours in the same park setting that I detected in with the X-Terra 50. Unfortunately due to terrible LA traffic and my son
