X50 X70 thoughts

[Jackpine Savage]

I have always agreed with what Andy S said in the beginning about the X50. It should have been setup to use the 3khz freq instead of the 18Khz and IMO the 3 Khz coils should have been 8" not 9.5".

Although I have not used a 70 with the DD coils or the new small coils, to me it would have made better sense for US users if ML had made the 6" HF coil a concentric and the 7.5Khz 6" coil a DD. Thats based on what most US users would be using the small coils for and taking "normal" ground conditions into consideration.

Just my thoughts and you know what opinions are like.

maybe DSE-Digger special edition or JSSE-Jackpine Savage special edition. I would buy an X-Terra 50 with the same segments that would accept a 3 khz coil...maybe with auto ground tracking, auto noise cancel and auto ground balance, and TID in pinpoint like the X-70. I have found the X-50 simply locks better on targets with the reduced segments for me in my ground with essentially the same depth...JMHO

This would run on all 3 frequencies with a 6", 9", 10.5", and 5x10" coil choices and we would get to switch the frequencies via software instead of by switching coils. This would eliminate all the confusion over what coil/frequency for what type of hunting we do. I'm sure if Minelab could do it, it would have been done. Maybe White's has the hold on the patent for this type of multi-frequency, user-dictated machine? Ron

The Eureka has been around for awhile too and even the old XT18000 from minelab had automatic ground balance and adjustable operating frequencies, 6.4 , 20 and 60 khz. I'm not sure but I think the XT18000 came out around 1997 or there abouts.
