I hunt really trashy parks and hardly ever go after nickels because my time is limited. I'm going to notch in 12-13 on my next hunt due to amount of wheats and silver I've been taking out of 2 places I've hit this past month. Have you found the Nox the hit nickels in this range at depth, I'm talking 7-9" depth, that's where most of the keepers are being found, thank

I think Chuck Markum ran Indian Nations Detectors in Oklahoma and Chuck Clevenger ran Clevenger's detector Sales in Kansas. Looks like both are still in business. I did a lot of business with both of these guys in the past.

Mine arrived from the UK off of E-bay, took 15 days from the time I ordered it until it was delivered 3 days ago. It took 12 days to get from New Jersey to Texas. I'm looking forward to getting out and giving it a test run. It's maiden voyage will be in the water.

I work for the United States postal service, this is already a thing in some areas. This is used quite frequently in apartments, and you can go to certain drop off points and take advantage of this kind of service.

I haven't been able to hunt for 6-8 weeks due to moving and working 6 days a week. Well, today was no different, still working on getting settled and getting the place cleaned up. Today's task was demolishing an old out building that was used to raise quail.
After removing the roof and all the siding, it was time to take up the plywood from the floor. One corner had pieces of plywood a

Thank you Pimento, I purchased some breakaways off of eBay but they are here too big. The spacing is correct but the ones in the Explorer are round these appear to be square. I ordered a digital micrometer so I can get the exact size of the pin that I need.

I have an EX 2 that I'm trying to revive and need a source for the correct size header pin block. Does anyone know where I can get the correct size and shape of the 10 pin header. I tried calling the Minelab repair center but the tech couldn't help me out, thanks.

I contacted the mods at Tnet, they haven't posted the guys info. The guy isn't only working detector classified, but car parts sites as well.
