    Who rides Motorcycles ????

    Thanks! I also had a Bassanni pipe on my '82s. Along with Mikuni 33mm smoothbore carbs and K&N air cleaners, you could really make the motor scream. The added cornering clearance with the Bassanni gave it a notable advantage over the prior Kerker headers that I always dragged at the last bend...

    Who rides Motorcycles ????

    I always said that my guardian angel doesn't snooze at the lights.(<-an old drag racing colloquialism) My quest for speed came at a price.......that I'm paying now because I survived.

    Who rides Motorcycles ????

    I've had an '80 GS1100E and two '82 GS1100E's, and I can tell you that the leading axle front-end on the '80 along with the aluminum swingarm (the first aluminum swingarm ever on a production bike) were the things that nightmares are made of. The swingarm flexed too much, and the front-end...

    Wet soil after rain

    A little more info would be good. Things like soil description (more than just "wet"), the sorts of items you're hoping to find, etc...

    The devil is in the details. Just little things, like the higher the GB number the milder the conditions, which is opposite from other machines. The best part of a 705 is that so many aspects are user configurable, so if what you're doing isn't working, change something! The combinations...

    Congratulations! Now, be sure to download Randy's book (Understanding Your Xterra) and read it......twice. Then, after your first outing, read it again. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!

    NEED FEEDBACK ON OLD M/L DETECTORS

    I personally love my 705 and will NEVER give it up! It was cutting edge technology when it was introduced, and there has never been another single frequency machine built that can do what it can. Its versatility is unmatched to this day, and about the only drawback is the need for additional...

    Coil Wire Jacket 70/705 Coils

    I've heard of such things, but I've personally never had it happen to a Minelab factory coil. I did have it happen to an SEF coil that I have for my Explorer, and I did the same as you......electrical tape. Never had a problem with it, but it also never goes in the water.

    Vintage Padlock

    Without any other identifying marks, finding the manufacturer is nearly impossible, as many of those old shield style lever-locks were produced by nearly every maker at some point.

    Original Xterra 1st generation 6" Coils DD vs Concentric

    Another thing to consider is that a Nickel is always going to respond to the HF signal transmission better/more/harder than the MF. Between the difference in response due to the different frequency and the difference in soil volume in the detection field, I can see why there could be a...

    Original Xterra 1st generation 6" Coils DD vs Concentric

    IMO, a DD coil will always outperform a concentric coil in moderate to heavy mineralized soil situation. The slice of ground (volumetrically) that the DD coil has to compensate for is much less than it has to with a CC, and that has a direct effect on depth capability. I never understood the...
