    should I wait

    Hi just getting back into again and just bought and tried several detectors. Sold the X70 and x705. Tesoros. Used fisher F5 on the way. From now on I'm keeping one at home all the time. If you sell and can't come across something you want then you lose a lot of detector hunting time. I was...

    Bought a used F5 in great shape today.

    It is on the way. I know and don't expect it to be an F70 or F75. I just want to enjoy it right now and then go to the 70 or 75. It will be interesting because I just bought a Cibola also. I will be comparing them,thats for sure. David

    HELP x-terra 705

    Just bought a 705 from a member and it looks in beautiful shape. There is a screw in the handle that is missing that secures the module to the shaft. I think it grounds it also because when I turn it in it goes crazy. Constantly flashes numbers 2 to 44 and all kinds of tones. Anyone know what...

I was going for the Fisher F5 but Muttandjeeps put up the X-terra 70 for sale and I grabbed it. It came today and it's in good shape. I read the manual a couple of times...

    F4 or F5

    Hi: I know I can get the F4 now but I like the F5 screen better. I don't have enough for the F5 right now but in a week I would. Would I regret not waiting for the F5 or is there not that much difference between the two? I imagine that they are close in depth. I'm glad I started reading this...

    Thanks OzarkTom for the Bandido ll umax

    Hi: I bought a Bandido from OzarkTom and it was just like he said it was ,"in great shape". The first day I used it I was disappointed-I couldn't get more than 4" no matter what I tried. I had the manual in my hand and kept trying to get 6" -couldn't do it. I emailed him and told him I wasn't...

    What is a decent Bandido II uMax worth.

    A used Cibola or Bandido II uMax bring about the same price. Is the Bandido worth it or is it older technology. Which one would you take if you had the choice. I want a tesoro but don't want to go into the Vaquero price range yet. thanks

    silver umax came today

    The umax came today and I assembled it and put a 9 volt battery in it. The silver looked great except there was a scuff or two on the lower shaft but the rest looked mint. The bolt that attaches the coil to the shaft was missing but it fit so tight I didn't put one in. I am going to send it...

    where do I look for the difference between detectors

    Hi: I know you have been asked this before but I was leaning towards the Whites XL PRO but price is the factor. Is there a big difference between the 5900 DI Pro and the 6000 Di pro. I can afford the Di Pro's but where can I go to look up the difference between all three? Thanks David F
