I received my like new XL Pro today from John Taylor (jmaryt). It was in perfect shape and ran like new. It tested out great in all modes. He gave me both the 9.5 and 5.3 inch coils and threw in a gator digger to boot ! THANKS JOHN !! I love how well the machine is balanced with 5.3 Blue Max coil. It seems I will be able to swing all day. Also, I think I will like using the GEB/SAT mode since I do like swinging a little slower due to my aching shoulder. But...it seems you can whip that baby in discrim mode and it will not miss a beat.
I have a DFX so I used the re-chargable that came with that since the specs for both the XL Pro and DFX are the same when it comes to the batter pack. So, I think I will buy another re-chargeable.
One question if anyone can answer. I have a Eclipse DD coil ( not the big one ( 1400) but I think the dimensions are 5 x 10 ?). Will this work on the XL Pro. I did not put it on yet ( I guess the best thing is to try it huh ?). But, if anyone can tell me if it does work and how well, I would appreciate it. I was thinking of trying that coil out on the beach with the XL.
Anyway, I am pumped up to use this new machine in my land hunting excursions. I have now added another powerhouse analog to my arsenal ( got a CZ6a too). I just love the knobs and knowing that one glance can tell me exactly how the detector is set up.
Will post some finds asap.
