Gonna get an XLT E. W/ 9.5 and 5.3 coils. Got a few months before I can use it, damm snow!!!! Gonna sell my Sov XS with DTI 3 meter and two coils 8 and 5 inch w/ rods 2 batt packs. Hoped to swap for one but prob just sell as my XS is a little old. May sell another machine to generate the $$$ needed.

Man after my own heart...gotta keep trying em all !!! My problem is, I never sell any of em ! At some point I have to thin the herd.

Looking forward to the thaw! Should have a few months to seek out a good machine. The area I've moved to is old( menominee,mi) and their should be some good finds here, but no Civil War stuff I'm hopeing to make one of my goals to find a US large cent! There should be some good water hunting here as well as I'm on Lake Michigan.

Don't give up on CW relics in Menominee. Here is a link to get you started. No battlefields that I know of but you might have some CW camps nearby and soldiers went to war and some returned bringing with them uniforms and who knows what. You wouldn't think of Central Illinois as a Civil war site either, but we had many training and POW camps here, one right here in my own town.
