    Android app for metal detecting

    I have a FREE Android app that's called GPS Essentials that I use a lot when metal detecting. It pretty much gives a Google map of where you are and lets you pick 8 'criteria boxes' to also put on your screen, as you can see by the pic I posted. Took a picture of my Samsung Fascinate running...

    which one?

    As an owner of a 705 and without turning this into a DIS-versus-DAT, I'd put the decision of it as a 705-or-MXT decision more than the MXT..... why? My 705 has been really a really awesome machine, and was my first machine. Turn it on, set the auto noise, set the auto ground balance, choose a...

    LCD vs LED?

    thanks for the responses, and yes it was KellyCo. I love their side-by-side compare part of their site. I have never used them yet. I bought off 2 other places/big dealers so far tho. I knew it just sounded wierd, that's why I figured I'd ask. To be honest, I called KellyCo once and got a...

    Auto Settings

    GPS tracking or GPS placement. I used a Android GPS app on my smart phone to pinpoint a old foundation I had found in the woods about 1/2 hour from an old mining camp I was walking too.

I am enjoying my new hobby enough that I grabbed an F2 for someone to...
