I'm hoping they have a X-Terra pro version with higher freq's for prospecting and such.
Probably will. didnt they release the 30 and 50 first then few months later the 70?
I believe it will need a upper teens freq to compete with a 70/705 in iron.???
Good info

So Sad to Hear..Monte was a one of a kind.
Will be missed for sure.Always helpful never hurtful was Monte.No ego and seeking no praise.
Corresponded with Monte and talked to him on phone great guy full of knowledge.
Worked on a Field test project with him and NASA Tom few years ago and the excitement enthusiasm he had was contagious for sure .

Sad news.
Charlie was a great Guy.Loved to talk relics..I mean loved it!! would talk for hours which was awesome.!!!
Howard Crouch has passed as has Steve Mullinax all great contributors to civil war artifacts.And all were great Guys to talk to and learn from.
I think there's a youtube video of a guy a few years back visting Charlie's home and talking.It will give people who n

Also look into a Tarsacci it is the best bad dirt puncher I've ran across.
Plus it has a mixed mode for all metal and Disc running at same time.
It's the deepest bad dirt machine made in my opinion.maybe deepest good dirt too.??

Thanks Tom.
Is that with stock coils on all machine's?
I know the Tarsacci with 12 inch should be deeper than 15 on nickle.
Only reason I ask mainly is cause the Tarsacci is the only machine I've ever used that doesn't call deep non ferrous ferrous at some point in depth.

No Pine you have to use the pinpoint button hole .
If you want the vaquero one its a 3 turn stock.not sure of part number but you can get it off the pot.

The Apex is a nice unit Morgan.But If I had a AT-PRO and Apex sitting side by side I'd grab the AT-Pro.Lot more intuitive audio and seems as deep as the Apex in soil but AT unmask better I feel. maybe if you were salt water hunting it would change things but for inland iron and trash I prefer the AT over the Apex.
I never really got on with the 540 that well, I prefer the 705 to it in tha

Good observation Rick!
Probably the Visual is averaged while the audio feed is non gated which we know on the bleedy blendy audio on the Nok/Maks to be true.
Unlike on say a F75 or T2 etc the audio is gated and in sync with the Visual.
An At-Pro can exhibit audio at time's that is not in Sync with the ID number yet it's not as free flowing audio as a Nokta.So not as noticeable.

I saw the teaser Video also about Dec 1st.
Hope it's a updated lightweight Sovereign/Excalibur.
Still the best machine ever made for hunting in big iron looking for large high conductors.
Guess we will know in a couple more days.

Does this guy Riley have a Youtube channel Daniel? Thanks for info.
Yeah I would assume there's a ton of shells around Vicksburg in the river.And along the embankments.
I Know Jack Melton who wrote the Book Civil War Artillery Shells he lives close by .He went over to Vicksburg alot in the 90s and dug shells.All he would use was a Whites 5900 With 15 inch coil and all metal mode.I re

A thing of note on the + model.its has some digital shielding in it..The classic does not.if you want the original T2 performance a Classic is the way to go with zippier audio.If you want slightly more depth get the + but remember its has a slight sluggish feel to the audio.SLIGHT.

I field tested them about 2 or 3 years ago.there was many different prototypes before the final version.
I think I have 3 or so of them in the basement in various stages of development.
They are deeper than the Bi-axial on an average of 1.5 inch's on coin sizes.
The neat thing is the toe area is able to isolate a target like a 5 inch coil.The back covers an area of ground like a lar

Whys me having a F19 Discount the Relic in any way??...I'm just letting people know what I stated as the three made now are all the same.
Yes Relic is a very good machine for relic hunting in iron sites..Nothings changed.Yet nobody really adopted it so why talk about it.
I could write pages on the Nautilus 2 B but there would be little interest.
I have a lot of great machines I have

My main unit for everyday is a T2.Although I jump around alot I keep a T2 ALWAYS ready to go.It just plain works and gets 90 percent of what is there. rest of the time I'm using HF units for unmasking the hardest of targets.
Backups well about everything under the sun Sometimes in double so I dont have to change coils just grab machine with coil size I need..I dont have anything rare or

Hey Nudge.That may very well be the Ground balance point for disc mode your messing with.Sort of like on the Lobo St the ground balance works for all metal and the disc is factory set via internal pot .
I've alway's had an idea the Disc mode Ground balance is factory set on the the Gold Bug's.cause moving the ground balance around in all metal seems not to do much to the disc mo

Hey Carl on the F19/G2+/Time ranger Pro if you bypassed the switch on the potentiometer to activate all metal so when it clicked it didnt activate all metal but still turned up the threshold with the same potentiometer would it increase the sparkiness of the machine in disc mode?
I ask cause on a tesoro and a few others turning up the threshold will cause the disc mode to get chatty.

Maybe I need to rephrase my post header.It's not for sale..I was just giving info for those interested if it was the same machine as the F19.

And yes it's the exact same machine as a F19/G2+.just different color scheme.
Here's something funny though its hotter than my F19 and my G2+.not by alot but it actually chatters on about 98 sens.Swapped coils around from machine to machine and its the Bounty Hunter that's slightly hot not the coils.Its as much chatter as you'd want it to do without becoming to noisy but it
