DGGR, ARE YOU STILL OUT THERE ?

I got my new md finally! also took forever to get back on this site. dummy me, had firewall set too high. Good to hear from you!!
 
It's GREAT!! I searched a old walkway of a old fire tower and ranger station 4 times with the xlt. I knew I was probably going to sell it and I wanted a "test site". walkway is 4' wide and 20' long. I put about 25hrs in searching it. Cleaned it out Right?. went back with cz70pro. 3 wheaties, 2 dimes and a nickle. all at 8 to 9 1/2". But... My xlt could have been bad. I read a post where someone sent their's back a couple of times and it got deep also. I'm still learning the cz. it's a 4 tone with i.d. and has notches to notch out iron, foil, pull tab,. etc. But the little critter is DEEP!!!I dug a buffalo nickle at 10 1/2" and dummy me a potted meat can at a little over 2 feet. I knew i shoulda stopped digging when it was "iffy" (bouncing bet. relic and high coin) and gave a depth ind. of 4". part of the learning curve ha!ha!. I do miss the display on the xlt especially quarters.It's hard to beat the info you get on a XLT. I get a high coin tone and id on all clad. but I have found coins close to trash. it is quick to respond and if i get a id and good tone along with bad stuff like iron or trash i can move the coil just over the good tone, like 2" back and forth in a x and locate the coin. You can search slow or fast too and if it id's good in a small pattern. you can bet your socks it's a coin.
 
I checked the coins that I freshly buried. 5" and 6" dime. before i let the xlt go. still couldn't see em. I can see them now.. Whites offered to check my xlt for me but I really didn't want to put any more money in it. I'm sure mine had something wrong with it. Whites makes a Good MD. My next step would have been the DFX but I couldn't stand the green it would have cost me plus I was afraid to get another whites after the trouble i had with my xlt. So I got a Dual Freq. machine with a lifetime warranty. I figured if i didn't like I could always send it back. Oh Yea! a Friend of mine bought a whites silver eagle at a yard sale. It still works!! I'm not gonna bash any brand of md. and I wouldn't judge any xlt based on the one I had. I bounce around from site to site and look at all of the finds and help who I can. We are all in the Digging Business. HH
 
nobody cares what brand of detector you use there. It's all about having fun. The folks there know alot about any detector you can name. Post you finds over there, It's all good :)
