    Jetco Detectors with Square, Open Search Coils

    Can anyone tell me when Jetco made their line of detectors with those open square coils? Were they earlier or later than the ones with small open, round coils or the black, closed ones? Thanks!

    Latest Opinions on the Garrett Z-Link?

    Hello: After its release a year or so ago, I'm hoping to get some learned opinions on the success (or failure) of the Z-Link system from those who've used it. I'm aware of the other, less expensive systems, but I'd rather stick with Garrett's customer service...if this thing works, that is...

    IDX Pro vs. Classic IDX

    Hi all: I have heard that there is a difference between the White's Classic IDX and the later IDX Pro in terms of depth capabilities, the PRO being an improvement. Can someone tell me if this is true? Thanks, Mike

    Explorer II Falsing

    Hi: Has anyone else experienced a falsing (medium tone) at the end of each swing while searching? Reducing the sensitivity didn't seem to help. Fiddling with the coil cable near the coil insertion got rid of the noise. Any thoughts on why this happened and how to make sure everything is ok...

    Explorer weight; hunting techniques

    Hi all: I'd be interested to know how many of you extend the lower rod of your Explorers for a wide coil sweep vs. those who like keeping it shortened up, with the coil closer to your feet. One of my friends advocates keeping the lower rod fully extended for a WIDE sweep pattern way in front...

    ML 7.5 vs. Sunray 8" opinions...

    please. I've heard great things about the Minelab 8" coil (Explorer). Then again, everything I've gotten from Sun Ray is top quality, so I'd like to know how the 8" Stealth rates. HH Mike

    Re: Explorer II; In saving programs, it doesn't...

    ...appear that such an option works for Iron Mask. Not that it really matters (as I can craft the same program in discrim), but am I right about that? I went to Iron Mask -16, selected nails ("x") and then tried to save it. All it did was save the discrim program I was running concurrently...

    What is the downside to using the EXII 8" coil...

    ...vs. the stock 10.5"? Obvious ground coverage loss aside, is there an appreciable loss in depth? Is the display thrown off? Many thanks, Mike

    Detector Rack?

    Has anyone constructed a stand or rack to safely store detectors? I keep my EX II under my bed and my son's detector as all over the place. My wife wants to kill us both. So, I'm wondering if any of you have thought of a nice neat way to hang, lean or lie, your detectors, similar to say, a...

    Classic IDX Question - Technical

    Hi all: I recently purchased a used Classic IDX and last night replaced the corroded box screws with stainless ones. After getting in the last screw, I turned on the detector and the thing sounded scratchy and very noisy (via the speaker). After fooling around with it for a while, I...

    Air Testing the EXII

    I was running various targets past my new (used EXII) and I noticed that the cross hairs like to jump a bit and the tone is a bit less than uniform even with good targets like silver dimes and musket balls. Yet, when I ran the same targets past my X-1 probe the cross hairs locked on and the...

    Bounty Hunter Pioneer EX and a shocker!!!!!

    I sent my Minelab Explorer II upper shaft to Ralph at Sun Ray (boy, what a nice guy) for probe installation, so I didn't have my detector for the weekend. That said, I took my 10 year old son and his friend detecting a couple of blocks from my house, outside of Boston. My son was using his...

    Are there size differences between the stock coils on...

    ...the XS, EXII and SE? My EXII has a 10.5 inch, but some tell me their machines have a stock 8"?? That doesn't sound right to me. Mike

    Question re EXII Std 10.5" coil

    I went and bought a coil cover for my new (used) EXII 10.5 coil and then realized it came with one one it I was tripped up because the cover has a bead of black silicone around it. Is this a factory thing or did a previous owner apply the silicone? I ask because I'd rather simply take off...

    Question re: Iron Masking

    Are Iron Mask and Discrimination two different modes? In other words, if I choose Iron Mask, am I not discriminating? Or, do they both run at the same time? If the latter is the case, how the heck does that work?? Help?! Thanks Mike
