XS is finally working

Got my XS back from Minelab after a week. They couldnt tell me what the problem was. The said it tested ok, but considering I dont exactly the same test before and after it seems strange that it wasnt working and its now going like a dream. Minelab has fixed the problems with the crack in the cam shaft and replaced mine. They even suggested that the old case was a bit crammed and that the electronics in mine got confused signals and that may have caused the problem. Really they didnt tell me why it was or wasnt going. I dont really care because its fixed totally now and I can get into some serious detecting. Also anyone out there got any good tips about detecting around old homesteads, what do u use to dig the holes, I went to an old mining town and digging the ground with a trowel is murder, do u guys use shovels or what??
 
I use a handheld three prong with a flat opposite side- hammer, its used by nugget shooters.
 
So it sounds like you received one of the newly redesigned cases then, is this true? If it is a newly designed case is larger? And what changes did they make to resolve the cracking problem? Sorry for all of the questions but inquiring minds need to know <IMG SRC="/forums/images/biggrin.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=":D">
 
As far as I could tell there was the smallest hint of a color difference, you can hardly tell,proberly because that part of plastic was newer, as for the actual size difference Im not exactly sure, Im only going by what Minelab told me that it was slightly larger. Ill take a photo for u guys to see when I can figure out how to attach photos.
 
Mine is fixed too, the same thing they couldn't find anything wrong with it but they replaced stuff any way now it works. Found 5 wheaties and a brass thingAmajig wrist deep about 25ft from an REC transformer. What was neat was the two guys, one with a white's 6000 serIII and the other with a new garret IDer, he said he got it on sale for 700.00, came over to see why I was diggin so deep.
They showed me thier hand full of cladd and I showed them my wheats, no body said much. The Whites "nice guy" takled about the noise you got hunting under power lines. I just smiled.
 
I was told its a different plastic the is more forgiving.
