    Think about the crowd that it's reaching. We need 'em! These two guys are both independent artists, and they're kicking the music industry in the nuts with every new release. They just got two #1 Bilboard plaques for their last release, "American Flags". That's YUGE considering that there's no...

    Thanks! I might just have to order one. I wouldn't be interested if it weren't for the fact that the clip is reversable. I won't carry a knife with a clip that's at the pivot end. I don't want to have to turn it around in my hand before I open it.

    NOBODY is saying that it's that simple! In fact, it's far more complicated than you're thinking....unless you're a world-class physicist and computer programmer. There are far more variables to all-digital metal detectors than just frequency selection, and in fact there are more than most people...

    Are the Equinox coils that work with Xterra Pro better then stock coil - do they help stabilize the VDI?

    I always hunt with headphones for just that very reason. (y)

    There's a big difference between licensed frequencies and actual operational frequencies. Show me scope data that proves that any of those machines are operating over 100kHz.

    I really don't care if you don't believe me. Operating frequencies of the 705 are well known to be from 3kHz to 18.75kHz.

    The range of frequencies of the old 705 single frequency machine was even wider, though it required coil changes to change frequency. So, the range of frequencies by itself is irrelevant in the world of all digital detectors.

    Audio rules.......or at least it did. This new generation of Minelab machines is different than the previous one in terms of audio, and I'm still learning the nuances of the new audio responses.

    Xterra Pro Beach Mode - is Minelab hiding its Dual Frequency?

    That would determine whether there is more than one frequency in play, and if there was a wave form manipulation. But, if it's just in the firmware, a scope probably couldn't provide the solution to the question.

    Xterra Pro Beach Mode - is Minelab hiding its Dual Frequency?

    I think you guys are missing a big part of the picture here relative to Beach Mode. The Xterra series pioneered "all digital" detectors, which is the basis for my logic. IT'S ALL IN THE PROGRAMMING. They wrote a special program for 8kHz that's very different than the other three frequencies as...

    Are the Equinox coils that work with Xterra Pro better then stock coil - do they help stabilize the VDI?

    This is ABSOLUTELY the reason for the vast majority of the appearance of instability. I've said so in prior posts. IMO, it's the biggest mistake that Minelab made with the new Pro.

    I would probably leave it as is. I can't imagine anyone cleaning and degreasing a chainsaw or motorcycle chain before getting rid of it.

    Knives

    Dirt and rust cause imperfections that result in cracked blades. It would need to be cleaned off with muriatic acid and some sort of boil-out/degreaser before any other work with it could begin. The best damascus has 512 folds for optimum strength. That's a lot of work if you don't have a...

    I've been a Justin Johnson fan for a few years now He makes, plays, and sells 3-string Shovels, and it's nothing short of amazing.

    As said, cable damascus can be really sweet, but the two most important things about making the billet are getting the cable clean enough and having a fire hot enough to forge weld in. Old chainsaw chains and motorcycle chains make some nice patterns, too.

    🏁 Quick.. Dumb.. X-Terra Pro Question 🏁

    Shouldn't be too long before they're available here. I've seen them for sale on sites in the UK.
