    First Impressions with the Xterra Pro

    I'll be interested in Tim's reply as well. I haven't gotten over a nickel yet, but I suspect it may depend on what frequency you're using. That is something that I will experiment with when I start hunting residential permissions.

    Found today any idea's on age ? No rust at all

    Pretty old actually. Wrought Iron doesn't rust as much as modern steel.

    Unstable vdi on the exterra pro

    In most of the videos I've seen the user is sweeping the target too fast for starters. Beyond that, my take is that the TID is mostly unimportant because audio rules! If a more stable TID is the goal, then reduce the sensitivity and/or change frequencies to one that is more accurate for the...

    Just pre ordered the xterra pro

    I'm looking forward to your impression of it. For the $ I was skeptical, but it proved itself to me with my first three coins found being over 135 years old and pulled from an iron infested site.

    Found at resale shop - Any help with ID appreciated

    I'm inclined to believe that it's an ashtray, too. Not necessarily intended for cigarettes or cigars, but quite possibly for pipes. Chinese have smoked pipes for centuries.

    Just pre ordered the xterra pro

    Being a 705 devotee and a moderator on this forum, I felt somewhat compelled to get the new Pro mostly so I could stay up to speed for new members to the forum. The transition to the new Pro is an easy one for old Xterra users because the language the machine speaks is quite similar. The...

    Just pre ordered the xterra pro

    FWIW, I hunt by audio. Numbers are just something to look at, but audio is where it's at. I typically run All Metal and All Tones w/Recovery no faster than 2. It sounds busy, but in reality, it teaches you the proper sweep speed for conditions. I noticed that the YouTube videos mostly show...

    Just pre ordered the xterra pro

    It's a pretty safe bet that it won't leave you feeling disappointed, even if it doesn't impress you with its ability. IMO, the new Pro punches well above its weight class, and for the $ you can't really go wrong with it.

    It Wasn't A Fluke!

    Six months out of the year sites like this are off limits, and four months out of the year the ground is frozen, leaving two months at best to hunt them, so timing is everything. Beyond that, it's time on site, perseverance, and above all....research. I spend hours pouring over old plat maps...

    It Wasn't A Fluke!

    Went back to the same site I found the 2-Cent coin for a couple hours today ahead of the rain. Things started pretty slow, and I was beginning to think that it was going to be wash, but then I started hitting odd bits again. More old harness rivets, a spoon, another thimble, some sort of tag (no...

    XT Pro 2nd Outing - Fresh Site - I'm Happy

    While I might have been happier if there had been awesome finds jumping out of the ground, I was satisfied with today's results. The site is one I've wanted to hunt for years, but never was lucky enough to have my work schedule, the weather, and the farmer's planting schedule align so that I...

    Ist Take on the X-Terra Pro

    My Pro was waiting for me when I got home from work today. I put it together, went back over the PDF manual I have, and took it out back to get an initial feel for it. At this point I can't say I'm overly impressed or disappointed. It lost features that I appreciated with the 705, but gained...

    HERE is a list of current site sponsors. Please feel free to name any of them in your posts.

    My X Terra Pro is on the way

    Two sites I plan to hit I've already hunted hard with the 705, but I've left them alone for several years to let the frost and tillage rearrange any remaining potential targets. I figure that will be a good test.

    My X Terra Pro is on the way

    Thanks! I hope so. My plan is to hit a couple field sites over the weekend, and then go over the same areas next week with the Pro to see if it pulls something I missed with the 705.

    Some accessories for the Xterra Pro

    That doesn't bother me too much. I don't tend to use the screen for much more than startup settings. After that, audio is where it's at.

    Some accessories for the Xterra Pro

    A cover is definitely at the top my list of things to get for it ASAP.

    My X Terra Pro is on the way

    Got my order in today. Should be here next Wednesday. I'll have Thursday to play with it before having to work Friday and Saturday. With any luck the farm fields that I want to hit won't be planted yet, but it could happen most any day now.

    question about nel coils

    I think that everything that needed to be said has been. So, I'm putting this subject to bed. If anyone has more to say, feel free to contact me via PM.
