    ML Xterra Elite Carbon Fiber Shaft

    They mention a bracket on the Nox shaft that the Elite pod locks on to. I have to look into this further. Maybe I can find some Specs.

    ML Xterra Elite Carbon Fiber Shaft

    I was thinking the same thing. The diameter of the 700/900 shaft would have to be the same thickness (Y), as the square part of the Elite upper shaft for the pod Cam Lock to lock properly, and when you put a circle inside a square, you'll have real estate on the sides of the shaft, I would...

    ML Xterra Elite Carbon Fiber Shaft

    I asked Minelab if there is a carbon fiber shaft for the Xterra Elite and they stated that the shaft for the Equinox 700/900 will work for it. I saw a dealer over in Europe selling the 700/900 Carbon Fiber Shafts, and stated that they would work for the Elite, but I just wanted to verify before...

    ML Xterra Elite Carbon Fiber Shaft

    It could be Zinc for all I know. I knew it didn't come with a carbon fiber shaft, and figured it was a heavier material like Nylon or something, but I never thought it would be metal. I love the detector, with the only thing being the shaft.

    ML Xterra Elite Carbon Fiber Shaft

    Thanks, I was guessing when I said Aluminum. I'm looking into it. It seems to be a problem with the aftermarket shaft makers that the shaft is of a square shape, when most of their carbon fiber shafts are round. If I had access to a machine shop, I'd probably be on a mill machining a piece for...

    ML Xterra Elite Carbon Fiber Shaft

    I'm assuming aluminum. It's cold to the touch, and my Pinpointer goes off on the upper and middle shafts, so it's definitely metal, unfortunately.

    ML Xterra Elite Carbon Fiber Shaft

    That's good to know. I need the upper shafts as well.

    ML Xterra Elite Carbon Fiber Shaft

    I thought about it, but really didn't notice until I used it while diving in a short length, and the aluminum upper and middle shaft took away the sensitivity of the coil. When fully extended like hunting terrain or wading, it probably would have little affect on the performance.

    ML Xterra Elite Carbon Fiber Shaft

    I recently received the Elite and really love the performance of the detector. I would like to find a three piece telescopic carbon fiber shaft, but the upper is sort of square shaped with four radiuses, so the pod attachment appears to be different than the Equinox 700/900. I know it hasn't...

    XLT Modification, so it accepts DFX, MXT, and M6 search coils

    I looked into it for a while because I barely caught a conversation in regards to having that ability, but unfortunately I never received an answer, and I've moved on to other machines, like the analogs of Bulgaria, so that was an end of an era for me, especially with them closing business. I...

    Sov XS shows the light of day to a 101 yr old Merc!

    Just keep moving my friend, Rick(ND). God bless you and your Sovereign. You and that detector probably have the best chance of finding something.

    MINELAB Manticore Unmasking And Recovery Performance

    Well, you already have the 8" x5.5", and the 15" for the Manticore, not a whole lot of difference between the 15 and 13. I would have to say a 12"x10" SEF like coil.

    What happened to the Vista X Faceplate & Knobs?

    You sound like me. I started out with a Garrett BFO when I was 15, then the Groundhog, eventually moving to the White's 6000 DI Pro in the 80's, then to the Eagle Spectrum, XLT, DFX, and then back to the analog XL Pro, fantastic detector. In fact I had it until last year when I sold it. I still...

    What happened to the Vista X Faceplate & Knobs?

    I do dig good shaped foil, pull tabs, and small lead, looking for small gold rings and jewelry, but I did the same with any other detector, including the latest. With the Vista X, I do notice that I don't hardly dig any iron, and when I do, I can tell it's not a good signal. At least with the...

    What happened to the Vista X Faceplate & Knobs?

    They're fantastic detectors, but not for everyone, especially if you're used to a meter, and all the other typical adjustments of the digitals. That's why the analogs respond so fast, less processing time when you encounter a target. You do dig more, at least at first, but you definitely find...
