    SoCal beaches open for detecting?

    I tried Laguna and Aliso Saturday. Laguna was not bad. I hunted 7am til 10:45am and most people were walking their dog or getting exercise and many had masks. After that I went to Aliso - ton of people, few or no masks, parking lot full so I gave up. So go early or evenings. Cams at Laguna...

    MAJOR HELP

    there are pi kits based on the surf pi. You have to make your own coil and housing though. Check geotech for more info.

    Save all aluminum

    Here in southern California we lost the major chain of reclamation centers. Anything left has huge lines as it is a major source of income for some people. How many returned cans have the virus on them too... i now give mine to a school and lose 40$ a month I used to get.

    17" coil....yea or nay?

    Yeah even with the harness you still have to swing the detector mass sideways and your elbow now will start complaining.

    Not sure what I was thinking,,

    That looks totaly fixable. Look at the pcb and a schematic of a similar detector and match up functional areas then understand what the pots do and wire them up. You’ll learn alot and be proud of yourself. Trade ya a minelab pinpointer for it.

    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    You need the solar panel to perpendicular to the sun to work. And it has to be full sun,like mid-day. If you can’t guarantee these then you need a larger solar panel and it will be necessary to have a battery in the machine to function when the above conditions aren’t met. In other words, it...

    Super modified CTX?

    I use the harness but as you say, it’s the faster swinging that is causing the problem. If I reduce the mass I’ll be better off. The other probable cause is the resistance In the water. I was spending more time in the water than I usually do and the CTX really has a lot. I have ideas I need to...

    Discerning the sounds of silence,and other things.(One Hand Clapping)

    Yes, you have normal-like a beep, long-a longer beep, smooth-like long but smoother transitions between states, and pitch hold- which holds a target tone unril the next one. I use the smooth setting. Gives your brain a chance to recognize the small/deep targets in a fast sweep that you’d miss...

    Discerning the sounds of silence,and other things.(One Hand Clapping)

    Lengthening the tone duration is a nice feature with the CTX. I got an Equinox and missed it right away.

    LCD SCREEN REPLACE

    I attended the Pomona gold show and asked a ML dealer and she said there is a thing like a big pressure cooker and the test actually is pretty quick and usually done on repairs.

    Super modified CTX?

    I would think a shot would be hiding the issue and we'd still be thrashing the tendon. I hesitate to switch arms as I don't want both of them messed up!

    Super modified CTX?

    I used the 18” coil for several months and didn’t see any depth difference from the 11”. In fact I used two of them- one developed a faulty shield and had beeps at sweep ends. Switching back to the 11” was wonderful. I didn’t have any signs of arm trouble back then with either. The 18” would...

    Super modified CTX?

    I bought an EQ800 and used it instead of my CTX for 8 months. It drove me nuts with the foil bits with associated blips and bleeps. Other things annoyed me as well - I made several youtube videos on that. It would have to be run at under 20 sensitivity for the noises to stop and I’d be losing...

    Super modified CTX?

    I have been using the ML harness from the beginning. My hunts are typically 4-6 hours and every two weeks. I work two or sometimes three beaches. I enjoy the beaches even if I don’t find anything but I am not ready to slow down (I am 65 though). I could skip the straight shaft idea at first -...

    Super modified CTX?

    My CTX is destroying my right elbow/forearm. I use the harness but my swings are agressive to cover ground and there is too much mass. I’m toying with the idea of totally restructuring the detector: Straight CF shaft. Coil cable extension. Display cable extension. Both cables attach to...

    LCD SCREEN REPLACE

    I looked at that and it looks awesome for a test lab but if you are repairing hundreds of detectors every week or so it doesn’t sound cost effective given the time and effort per machine required. I really wonder what methods detector manufacturers use.

    LCD SCREEN REPLACE

    What exactly is a pressure test? How is it done without the possibility of water getting into the machine if it fails? I’ve opened my CTX up several times and don’t see anything to screw up when reassembling unless you leave sand on the seal. If you are a wet/dry sand hunter go for it...

    Disable Saltwater and gain 2” depth

    I was running some air depth tests at a park and noticed that there was a 2” depth improvement going to Relic mode from Beach. What the deal? I saw that Relic had Saltwater disabled while Beach had it enabled. Went to Beach, set Saltwater to disabled, and got the extra 2”! See if you...
