    3 kHz coils - anyone have depth comps?

    Hey there X-terra users, I was wondering if I could get some opinions on the 3kHz coils out there. I have some areas that are not too trashy, but do have random gum foil, a nail or three, and other assorted iron droppings scattered around. The phase number reading on this soil is anywhere from...

    9" Concentric vs 6" DD LF coils

    so far my stock 9 inch MF coil seems to be doing ok. I have hit a few trashy areas that have been problematic but in most spots it seems to sift through the stuff in the ground pretty well. I am going to get a LF coil and was wondering what depth differences people are seeing between the Digger...

    19th century silver found using 21st century Silver

    HI fellas. I was out comparing signal responses of the XTerra 705 and the Tesoro Silver uMax yesterday on an old curb strip in town. It is a pretty trashy area but Ive pulled many wheaties out of it and wanted to see how each detector sounded on moderately deep (4-6") pennies. I found a few...

    Tesoro work on Modded MDs

    I realize they wont honor a warranty, but will Tesoro work on a modded MD while charging you for parts/labor or do they not even touch the thing once you've messed with it? Im thinking most guys that are smart enough to mod their machines are likely smart enough to fix them if/when they break...

    I got 99 problems but a tone aint one!

    Sorry, probably not the right place to be throwing around Jay-Z song quotes... Anyway, I went on my first real hunt with the X-Terra 705 yesterday. I searched some curbs close to an old 1915 elementary school that I have hit twice before with the Tesoro Outlaw. On each of the two previous hunts...

    Tabman Special pulls out the gold

    My nine year old daughter and I took the Compadre and Silver uMax out to a modern park today. it was beautiful out -- leaves changing colors, 60 degrees, and just a slight breeze. We hit a volleyball pit and a soccer field with both detectors using Tabman's gold finding settings - disc at the...

    XT705 TID list for trash?

    Howdy folks, Im new to the Xterra game but should be starting my adventures with the 705 sometime next week. Lots of great info on this forum for these machines but I am having troubles finding a list that shows what TIDs common trash routinely comes in at. Has anyone complied such a list and...

    Goodbye Outlaw, Hello ???

    Well, I just sent my Outlaw off in exchange (partial) for an X-Terra 705. However, I kept the 10x12 and 5.75 coils for my tried and true Silver uMax. Those will be going in to Tesoro to tune them to the Silver. I liked the Outlaw - the sounds, the weight, reasonable depth, but I just didnt get...

    long hard hunt w/ the Outlaw

    There are three early 1900's houses that are going to be torn down next month. They sit near where the old railroad tracks used to run through town. The land is for sale and the realtor said she had no problem with me detecting so I hit the front yards for three hours one day and the back yards...

    4 month anniversary hunt best yet!

    Its been 4 months since I started this hobby with my Tesoro Outlaw (give or take a day or two). I went out and hit the places in my town where Ive been having the best luck. It went better than I could have hoped. I know this haul isnt a great day for some of you out there but I was pretty...

    My first Barber dime found w/the Outlaw!

    I took the afternoon off today and hit an old (and seedy) part of town. I was rewarded with a few 1940-50's wheat pennies and a 1907 Barber dime! The dime was only a few inches deep by a 100 year old elm tree next to a condemed house. I only had two hours so I'll need to go back and search that...

    This one's for you Rainy- Silver uMax depth

    Well, well. It looks like the Silver uMax hits a dime at almost 8 inches just as well as the Outlaw--at least in the conditions here. I apologize for the blurry footage--still getting used to filming with a phone. Its not as easy as those Youtube guys make it look! http://youtu.be/Lp6WE66J14w

    Outlaw on a newly buried silver dime

    Me and my daugther checked the coin garden yesterday and found the Outlaw was hitting almost 8 inches on a dime buried three months ago. Mild and often-watered soil conditions. Sorry about the video quality, this is my first stab at filming MD topics. More to come... http://youtu.be/kZgmtx1JTFA

    old coins in trashy but mild soil = Outlaw/Tejon/Vaq?

    What machine and what coil would you prefer to hunt old coins in trashy urban areas with fairly mild soil? I did some research on this but didnt really find a lot of educated opinions or explanations of why one over the other. There's the H.O.T vs. Umax thing, the differences in Discs...

    How old is old enough?

    I usually have a rule when coin hunting that the spots (schools, homes, and parks) that I hunt should have been built no later than 1950 or so. My reasoning being that this gives the place a good 15 years of existence to acquire silver coins before the U.S. stopped using silver (for the most...
