With the purchase of my new Minelab Equinox 600 (waiting for my 800 on backorder) I set out to find some needed but harder to find accessories. I made this YouTube video of the Deanos cover, which as far as I can tell is the Only United States based manufacturer and seller of!protective covers...

Hello! I'm looking to get a used e-trac very soon. I'd also like to get the Sunray X1 to go with it. I can't find a Sunray X1 by it's self but I have found someone selling a Minelab Explorer SE with one. Right now I'm planning on buying the set and then selling the detector by itself. I was...

Hey, I am new to metal detecting and am looking for someone to go hunting with. I have 2 detecters and a pinpointer. Very easy to get along with. Open to any ideas. I am just looking to get out and learn the hobby other than my side yard...lol. I live in cheektowaga NY a suburb off buffalo NY. I...

Hello everyone, Mrs. Zse here. Mr. Zse and I are interested in buying our son a metal detector for Christmas. I'm kind of stuck deciding between the Go Find 40 and the Go Find 60. I've looked at the differences between them and kind of compared them, but am hoping for some advice from someone...

Was all excited b/c i received my new 3030 yesterday afternoon. Went to install it per instruction ( This is not the first one i have had to put together ). Inserted the lower shaft in the upper at 90 degrees like normal with the little nipple aligned correctly and it slid in about 8 inches and...

I'm swinging the NEL Big Coil (13"x17") for relics these days and the Minelab harness is a must for hours of hunting. But if you've ever tried using that Harness with the Etrac, you'll know finding a connection point is tricky. I have hundreds of hours with the harness, E-trac and Ultimat 13...

I'm saving my money to get a new metal detector I'm not quite sure what is the best bang for your buck but I am in between the Minelab x-terra 305 and the garret ace 350. I'm new to MD so I don't know a whole lot about the machines. Don you recommend one over the other and if so why? Thanks...

So, it's taken me far too long to wise up and finally purchase rechargeable batteries, however, I'm curious if any of you with Minelab Xterra's (who use rechargables) have experienced a problem with the batteries getting stuck in the battery compartment? I can get 3 out of the 4 out, but one...

Let's start off with this.... "It's an ENTRY LEVEL MACHINE" I bought one to return to the hobby part time, I found cool stuff so far.. BUT I have serious questions on the long term durability of this machine. I WAS, a hardcore detector guy so this machine fulfilled the targeted goal that minelab...

Just a curious question about batteries and your machines - For the past year I have been using either regular Duracell Coppertop or Rayovac and they have worked splendid, recently I noticed while at the barber shop a copy of Consumer Reports and they had a review on AAA batteries - citing that...

Went out for about 45 minutes after work to hit a yard of a house built around 1910; have hit a few Indians and Wheats but otherwise it is a totally dead yard; or so I thought. Decided to try out the new 3 KHz Xterra coil I just got and it's nuts! I've read reviews that it's a coin monster...

My Excal II was dying a slow death with a broken headphone wire that I could jiggle and get it to work most of the time. Then, it got really bad. Somehow, my baby developed some kind of short causing the threshold to run constantly wide open - unable to turn the volume down to the mosquito...

I am looking at getting a beach machine. I dont live near the beach but go a few times a year and want a good detector for those times. I want to hunt the wet sand and surf area on central Ca beaches. I dont plan on diving. I already have a Gold bug pro for dry sand work. If I can get a...

My wife and I recently got back from a hunt in AZ after winning some amazing prizes from Legends Prospecting Supplies 951-925-5730 in Hemet,CA and Rusty's Gold and Treasure 714-693-4653 in Anaheim,CA. The grand prize was 50% off voucher for any products. I have been detecting for about 2 years...

hey guys check out my new facebook group! im trying to start something for all detectorists to share their finds in different places, the group name is "digging4history" thanks!

I just got a Minelab X-Terra 705 and will use it on Saturday alongside my V3i to see which one works best when searching for Roman artifacts. The difficulty is searching in a field filled with ancient hand-forged square nails and very targets. Should be interesting.

Hello, I am in the market for a pinpointer and was looking for info on the best buy(Least Expensive) in a unit out there that would be good for a beginner... From what I've seen the price difference from Make to Make can be drastic and I'm curious about the real world differences in them...

Hello! I am new to this forum and I am excited to get going detecting. I want my first detector to be one that I won't have to upgrade for awhile and can still keep up with the other detectorists. I do not want to spend more than 800$ and I am curious if that is enough to just wait to see if i...

I'm going to document my thoughts between these two detectors now that I have'em. Most of these will just be quick feelings, not in depth comparisons. So.. Picked up my CTX @ UPS today. Overall packaging/presentation is more professional on the CTX. White's feels more home-made. Lots of...
