    IDX Pro

    I just picked up a closet queen IDX Pro (I guess you can call this an MXT light)...I can't believe how much lighter this feels compared to the MXT Pro and V3i that I previously had (it only weighs 3 1/2 pounds) . I know that it does not have the bells and whistles of the other 2 and it probably...

    Question re Etrac CD

    I am about to pull the trigger on a used Etrac - price is very fair but the owner says that he cannot find the CD that comes with the unit....can I get by without this CD ?- can I still transfer programs from my computer to the detector?..if the answer is NO - then can I buy that CD separately...

    Another question re the MXT and a D2 coil

    I understand that one of the drawbacks to using the D2 coil in a trashy park is that it usually rings up bottlecaps up like coins and that this is just something that a user has to put up with if you insist on using this coil. I also have an ATP Pro and when using a DD coil on that unit - I have...

    Best of both worlds

    I have "experimented" with all of the top of the line detectors including the V3i, Excal and Deus - all certainly have their pros and cons.....but I have recently added an AT Pro to go along with my MXT Pro...both are very good detectors...neither are in the price range of the high end ones but...

    MXT Pro question re coils

    I have gone through just about every brand of detector including the V3i, Etrac & XP Deus over the last 2 years and have come back to an old reliable - the MXT Pro - just can't beat it for a turn on and go deep seeking detector. I plan to spend most of the winter on the Gulf coast of Florida...

    Programming the Deus

    I have done a ton of reading but I have not yet seen any mention of this....can I simply turn on the control box without the coil being in the same room (so I am not turning on the coil as well) and then save some of the programs that I have comes across on the various forums....I suspect that...

    Question re Sunray Probe for etrac

    I came across a couple of posts that indicate that the black Sunray probe is more desirable than the white one - why is that?...is there a performance difference between the 2 probes?

    If you are interested - I have a mint V3i with D2 and 950 coils that I will be selling for $975.00....the only thing is - I can't sell it until after April 5th because I am in Florida right now and won't be home until after that date...check my fedback at this site but just be sure to do an "all...

    can the name and info of the former owners registry be deleted without a password

    I seem to recall reading somewhere that it might be possible but it would have to be done at a White's service centre - try calling Whites to see if this is possible ................somebody correct me if I am wrong

    Etrac Reliability Question

    I am considering the purchase of a used Etrac that is no longer under warranty so my question for someone who has an older Etrac - has it been reliable or if something has gone wrong - was the cost to repair reasonable....it is either going to be the Etrac or a used V3i - I know that Whites has...

    V3i v-rated coils - can they be used on a Matrix M6?

    I have a V3i with 4 v-rated coils (4x6, 6x9, 10" DD and 300mm) and am considering the purchase of a used M6 as a back-up detector and/or loaner - I know that you can use some of the non v-rated coils on a V3i (with restrictions so to speak) but what about the reverse - can a V-rated coil be used...

    Question re Needle type Cz meter vs LCD screen type

    I am looking to pick up another CZ in the near future and I was wondering which type would be more reliable - the needle read out meter or the LCD screen type. My guess is that the needle type is less likely to develop a problem down the road as opposed to the LCD screen readout. Has anyone ever...

    Question re coils

    i just picked up a gently used Etrac that came with 2 coils (well actually 4, the stock plus a 5"X10" DD NEL) and I am wondering which one is best for general coin shooting (at ;east to start out with) - if you had to choose one of these 2 - which one would it be: I realize that the bigger the...

    Question re Visual I.D. accuracy on today's detectors

    First off, I am not looking to start any flame wars between brands and I know that ID accuracy is never 100% (especially on deep targets) but for anyone who has had the chance to use the different brands - what is the most accurate visual I.D. detector that you have used. From what I have read...

    I am undecided on a DFX or VX3

    There are a few used DFX units that are offered for sale every now and then on the various forums....I picked up a used one in mint condition last year for $400....I later sold it and I now have a V3i....a much better unit in my opinion. The point is that if you are undecided and are leaning...

    Is V3i/Vx3 in Wet Salt Beach as good as Minelab FBS?

    I have recently purchased a Whites V3 (upgraded to V3i) and have not had the opportunity to use it on a wet salt beach but judging from the comments of some V3i owners it will certainly do the job but in all honesty - my favorite detector for a wet salt beach is any of the CZ series of...

    CZ's versus the newest models

    I have owned a CZ series detector ever since they first came out but every now and then I have strayed over to one of the latest models (you name it, I have likely tried it).but I have always ended up buying another CZ after test driving a different brand. So lately, I was getting the urge to...

    Headphones really Necessary

    Instead of regular headphones - I just use the ear bud type (from an MP3 player) - they are just as effective (in my opinion) as the more expensive regular ones.
