Admin nuggethunting Posted April 13, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hello Everyone, A handful of potential customers have contacted me about the new Minelab X-Terra 70. I just sold the last one I had in stock and Minelab USA said they are currently on backorder. They should be available within a week or so at the latest. If you need one right away, I might sell mine for double the price~! Just an update,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted April 14, 2006 Author Admin Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hello Mike, I must admit, when I first heard about the X-Terra series, I wasn't real impressed. I thought, just another VLF that looks pretty! I did test it (X-Terra 70) out briefly last weekend and it does have some features like the Explorer II that I really like. Also, I was impressed with the depth on small gold and how well in ground balanced around the Black Canyon area. I like how you can toggle back in forth (if needed) from the Prospecting mode to the "Coin/Relic" mode. It might be a great tool for those very trashy placer areas. I'm still learning the coin/relic mode features, but the "Prospecting" mode is pretty simple and user friendly. P.S. Seems like the inner searhcoil ring is the most sensitive, rather than the outer ring? Have you played with it more? Talk with you soon,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted April 17, 2006 Author Admin Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Hello Mike, As much as I try to get into coin/relic hunting, I just can't. I know some good locations and I know there might be some nice trinkets, but I'm too into nuggetshooting! I'm also waiting for the DD coil. I'm not real impressed with the stock coil for nuggetshooting. It might be a good coil for coin/relic hunting, but I'm not real impressed with it for nuggetshooting (just my opinion). Keep us updated on your findings. Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
