Haha! If you go to XP’s website they have a live countdown timer setup. At this moment it’s 4days, 4hrs, 34mins, 16secs. Lol

Will it be released for sale in four days or will we just get all the info, details, pics and a release date?

Something’s happening in four days!

This will be my next detector purchase. I was seriously thinking of buying a deus and then this new model was announced. Hopefully I will be able to get on a waitlist like I did for the equinox.

I got my nox in the spring of 2018 so one the first manufacturing runs. Haven’t had a single problem with it and still on the original battery. Even though it’s long past out of warranty. I just don’t want to get rid of it and take a chance on a new one even though I know minelab would remedy any fault with the new one. I guess I’m sort of attached to it.

Thanks for posting this Jeff. I have a site I’ve been hunting on Sundays for a couple of months now. I always start out near the parking area and have done well. I’ve mostly been using park one in 5 tones set up to my liking. Iron bias on f2 usually set from 4-6, but never 0. Recovery speed almost always 5 or 6. This area used to have mill houses that were torn down back in the late sixties. Needless to say there’s lots and lots of iron and quite a few pieces of coke from the coal burning furnaces that were used back then. There’s even a lot of surface coal from when the houses were razed. It reminds me of when I grew up in the coal country of Southwestern PA. But this site is in Western NC. Anyways a couple of weeks ago I decided to try F2 set at zero. I started out from the parking lot as I normally do just swinging randomly working my way to a new area as I’ve hit this area by the parking lot three or four times already and wasn’t getting much. This time however with f2 at zero I immediately hit a wheatie. Then another and another. Then a few more. Then I get a solid 32-34 and out comes a silver Washington quarter! After a while I went back to the car to take my sweatshirt off since it was getting hot. There’s this 10’ wide strip of grass between the car and a service road. I’ve hit this area before with both the 11” and the six inch coil. I scored two silver dimes with the six incher and covered the area really well or so I thought. This day I had the 11” coil on and low and behold I get a nice solid 28-30 and out pops a silver rosie, but in the same hole before I found the dime was a pretty big (3”) rusty nail and then a rusty steel washer about the size of a quarter which was what I thought for sure was giving me the good signal. After I pulled it out I rescanned the hole and still got the 28-30 so back in with pinpointer and there’s the silver rosie! I can see missing one wheat or two, but I think I got 6 or 7 wheats and the silver GW out of that one area that I had pounded previously. Then the silver rosie out of the other tiny area that I had pounded with both the 6” and the 11” before.

There’s one on ebay right now at $227.50 with 34 bids and 3 days left. It’ll be interesting to see what it finally goes for.

My guess for a name came from seeing the name Eclipse mentioned above. I think a good name would be Dark Side Of The Moon! Any Pink Floyd fans out there?😁 Then, when we buy one, we can say we’ve gone over to the dark side!

Dan notice the difference between your coil stiffener and the one I have. Your slides over the ears but sits on top of the coil. The one I have slides over the ears and also straddles the coil. On yours all of the lateral force is directed to the ears themselves with some on the ziptie. On mine, the lateral force is shared with the ears and the coil body as my coil ear stiffener also slides down over the edge of the coil itself, not just the ears. Something to think about in the different designs of coil ear stiffeners.

I wonder why no manufacturer never reversed the connection and put the ears on the shaft end and the inner solid part on the coil. If the ears then broke all you need is a new lower shaft.

Here’s a pic of mine zip-tied over the coil skid plate. Zip ties are pretty cheap so when I want to clean the coil I’ll just cut the zip ties and use two new ones when I put the skid plate back on. If you use pliers those zip ties can be pulled tight enough to make the coil stiffener feel like it’s one with the coil. I couldn’t wiggle it once zip tied. BTW, my coil stiffener was made specifically for my Anderson shaft.

I’d love to see that happen. I’ve been thinking of getting a deus to compliment my now 3+ year old equinox. I may have to wait and see what happens with XP and the new Nokta/Makro.

I love my tesoros. You can’t beat the simplicity of a compadre or a mojave. Do you just set your disc low and dig it all (that’s what it looks like from the pic of your finds). Or do you disc out low conductors. Or do you “thumb” the disc knob when you get a hit?

Those ones listed on the classifieds are not the same model headphones being asked about in the original post. They may work with the equinox, but they aren’t the same model as the ones for the equinox.

Try lowering the sensitivity. You can even lower it to 14 or 15 and still get decent depth. I’ve noticed that high tones will come in clearer in iron infested areas with lower sense settings.

Not mine. I doubt if the seller will get that, but I thought it was a crazy high price. Seller also states that there were rumors that there were only 150 mojaves made.

How hard is it to make the hard-wired coil cable on the compadre to a removable, plug in type? I have two compadres; one with the 8” donut and the other with the 6”. If I made them removable I could use them on my mojave and vice versa. I’m pretty handy and can solder. Just need a source for the connectors and which ones to get.

Wow! That HAD to weigh your pouch down😀. Any idea how much all that lead weighs?

When it was giving me fits on Friday at a site where I work, it may have mostly been emi as I turned the sensitivity down to 4 and it was less chatty. When I took it out in my yard the next day it ran a lot quieter, but would make noise when I bumped the coil or wiggled the coil wire protector where it comes out of the coil. My vaquero is dead silent until the coil is over something, but it doesn’t have the 180 ed disc so maybe that has something to do with it. I usually set my disc just above iron on both machines.

Thanks. Not long after I first bought the mojave ( I bought it new from a dealer), it started to become chatty. I sent it in to Tesoro and when they sent it back Rusty included a note saying that the coil had been bad and that they replaced it with a new one. It seems now that it may be starting to do the same thing. I rarely use it but did the other day after work and it was chatty again, but it could possibly have been EMI as I used it last night in my yard and it seemed ok. However if I bump the coil or wiggle the coil wire where it’s attached to the coil it makes noise. So I’m thinking I may try another coil, but I would like to get another concentric coil similar in size to the stock 7” coil. How well do the smaller sized DD coils work?

Anyone have experience with coil options similar to the precision 7” coil that comes standard on the mojave?

Thanks Steve. I just saw the aptx and was thinking aptx ll. I’ll give them a try and if they don’t work out I’ll return them.

I just ordered a pair of these. I’m one of what seems like the few who actually really likes the ml80s. My ml80s are getting pretty ratty so I ordered a pair of the avantrees however they are made for extra large heads and fit loosely. If these ausdom phones fit like the ml80s I’ll be pleased. Plus I’m looking forward to seeing how well the noise cancelling works.

I may have to start hitting the sports fields more to get my clad count up😁 I could see me buying one of these especially if it can complement my nox in some way.

I found a ring just like yours a couple of years ago. It was 14k, small, just fit my pinkie and wide like yours. It also rang up a solid, smooth sounding 17 and weighed 5.65 grams. Congrats on some nice finds!
