    1.2V vs 1.5V batteries for a Whites MXT PRO

    Maybe I am not seeing this correct, but the MXT my wife has runs on 8 -1.5 volts which is the 12 volts alkaline and is fine. Now you are showing 8 rechargeable in the pack which should be !.2 volts each with 8 of them run 9.6 volts. Yours show only 9 volts when it is turned on, but you run 10...

    Tell us how long you been Metal Detecting

    Started in 1973 with a Getco and soon bought a Coinmaster 3 I believe it was as it was a all metal detector so I learned to listen to everything metal.

    Brass Item...No Idea What It Is

    compass metal detector

    I used many different Compass detectors over the years and most I seen use 3 battery packs of 4 AA batteries in each pack. the connectors to the packs look like those for 9-volt batteries, but 9 volts were too much voltage. I believe all the packs run to the same connector on the circuit board...

    I think I see something on the token that says shoes and wonder if it a ad for shoes. The Swatika on the token is actually back word for the Swatika that the Germans used and was used after the Navaho use as a good luck symbol from what I understand. I found several of these over the years and...

    Does Nokta Makro not honor their warranty?

    They may have changed their Warranty from a couple years ago, the warranty was transferable but you had to have a copy of the original invoice to see when it was purchase and who bought it. I hope they didnt change it as I bought a new one a while back and may be selling it and have never used...
