ATV for metal detecting
- Thread starter robert roy
- Start date
I usually use my Honda Ruckus.
[attachment 91100 RuckusLoaded.jpg]
Its just a 50cc scooter but the detector in its bag fits nicely under the seat and my digging tools and probe strap right to the front rack. It goes through the woods really good, wide tires and no gear shifting to worry about, it's main drawback is that it and most all scooters are not very tolerant of mud and water, not to worry we are suffering from a drought and fire watches.
[attachment 91101 RuckusUnloaded.jpg]
Really wish it would rain as the ground here is like digging through concrete.
I also use a Yamaha Zuma but its storage is limited and the detector must be strapped on sideways which makes it difficult to navigate tight trails.
[attachment 91102 ZUMAREAR.jpg]
The main advantage of the Zuma is the fact I have heavily modified it, 70cc kit, transmission has been hot-rodded, Kevlar belt, performance expansion chamber, carbon fiber reed valves, and a bunch of other stuff, all resulting in a higher terminal velocity=speed, it can run over 50 MPH and gets 35-40 MPG and can whip a SMART Car off the line...

At best my Jeep Cherokee with 32X11.5 Mud Terrains and a 4.5 inch lift can go places none of my other vehicles can and carry a bunch of gear and people.

If all else fails there is always the tried and true method of "One foot in front of the other" happy hunting, please send rain, about 3 days worth at best....

There are places my 4X4 can't go? I usually don't hunt in tree tops. There are not too many places my Jeep can't go.

Looks like you could actually carry that puppy in the back of your 4x4, am I wrong?

Oh My God, you just opened up a part of my memory I had lost!! Rokon! A friend of mine had one of these back in the late 70's, it was wild, scary when you gassed it in the corners, when it ran, remember this was the 70's so I am sure the technology has improved, From looking at this dude I want one too. I guess I was trying to motocross a stump puller...
Thank You!
