    Possible cable interference question

    OK. Have been fighting my cables every time I change out coils. Between the coil cable and the cable from Ron's meter I've got cables flopping everywhere. So, yesterday I was in HF and found these little rubber coated wire twists. They are kind of stiff but really hold my cables together. And...

    GT cable shortening

    I would like to shorten the cable on my GT and I don't have the tools or knowledge to do it. Nor would I want to try it. Any idea what kind of shop I could go to and get it done?

    Chest pack question

    Got a chest pack coming for my Sov. GT. It uses 2 magnets for the closure system. Any idea if the magnets will in anyway harm the electronics?

    Chest pack ?

    Finally found what looks to be a nice affordable chest pack with shoulder straps for the GT. I was just reading the specs on the pack and noticed that it touts a magnetic type closure instead of a zipper. So, I got to thinking...Will the magnet have any effect on the operation of the GT?? Help...

    X-70 with 2 coils (Special financing):cool:

    Well had decided to keep my ole X-70 as a backup to my Sov'. GT but I think the X-70 would just end up being a,' safe queen'. So the X-70 is for sale with 2 coils, (9" MF and the 5x10HF. The detector and coils are in perfect working condition. I have the coil cover for the 5x10 but can't seem to...

    New 8" Tornado.

    Well Fed Ex delivered a nice little box fromKellyco this morning. However, just my luck it spit rain all morning. Then this afternoon it was like a hose had been turned on for about 45 mins. Boy did we need the rain. So hopefully tomorrow morning the new coil will get a work out. Sure looks...

    New coil time for the Gt

    I've got the stock 10" coil and the SEF 12x10 for my GT. The little wife says to go ahead and order the 8" coil I want to fill out the arsenal. Can't make up my mind if I should get the Minelab Slimline Tornado or the Excelerator Concentric. I know these types of questions are crazy because of...

    X-Terra 9" 3 KHz For Sale

    Recently purchased a Sovereign GT and the X-70 is getting little to no use. Still going to keep it but have decided to sell my 3KHz. It's about 3 years old and has used used but never abused. Still works the same as new. She ain't pretty but she's still good. I guess I got a little carried away...

    12x10 SEF 1st outing

    Well finally got to use the new 12x10 today. We hit an old park in Albuquerque for about the umpteenth time. But, this was first time with the new coil. The separation abilities of this coil and pinpointing are really something to see. I also dug quite a few poptops. Some I got fooled on and...

    Coil undercoating mishap

    Well I decided to remove the coil cover on my coil and spray some undercoat on the coil bottom. The project was going pretty smooth until...The coil slipped from the position I had it in. Things went a-flying. Coil, undercoating can and even my reading glasses. Reflexs took over and I grabbed...

    GT weight numbers

    Just got the GT a couple of months ago and using the hip mount. I use wireless earphones but already getting tired of being tethered to my side. So...I was wondering how much a stock GT with 10" coil weighs. I know the weight won't be much of a variable when I'd get used to it. Just wondering. I...

    CEN TECH Digitial Multimeter

    OK. I went to Harbor Freight and bought this meter to measure the charge in my detector battery. Sadly...I have no idea how to use it. The instructions were garbage. Where do I set it? When it comes to rifles and reloading you can ask me most any questions. When it comes to this stuff.....

    My first battery wall charger went dead on the second use. Minelab sent me another one. Yesterday I started the charging process for a completely dead battery(left the GT on for almost 2 days, by mistake). Manual says 12-14 hrs.for a dead battery. We 've had company all week and not thinking I...

    Your choice of digging tool for hardpack

    Just wondering what other folks are using for digging in hard soil. Years ago my brother and I started using old US military bayonets. When the ground starts getting hard, the sharp point of the bayonet will break through. It's a little hard on the hand but, it works. Also when sharpened, the...

    Finally out with the new GT

    Well, I finally made it out for my first detecting trip with my new GT. I went out to a local honey hole for clad. Lots of clad in this particular park but mostly don't detect it because of the many winos that sleep and linger around all morning. Anyway, the GT felt good. I had my little chart...
