  1. Thanks for the feedback. Those hours you gave are very respectable for battery usage. Keep up the good work. On my Whites TDI Li ion battery pks; if I'm not using for a couple of months (say 4-6), I will put them back on the charger to top them off. It seems that they deplete sooner than what I expected... Oh Well. In the near future, I will no doubt put together a new set of Li Ion pks like you shown. Thanks again TC-AZ
  2. Joe Beechnut, Correct me if I'm wrong the TDI uses an 8-cell pk. 2 rows of 4 stacked upon itself. It is rated at 14.4 or 14.8 volts nom., right? Lastly, I myself would prefer a bigger guage of wire, such as 14 0r 12 for the Amp draw and charging. Like to hear some feedback on performance in the field on those batteries. Great job. Thanks for sharing 👍
  3. Oh WOW!! Nice find. 50% detector and 50% of luck of the step.
  4. Decided to reduce the prices of the books to further interest. Clive Clynick's books are now $13 ea. Bob Brockett's book on discrimination, now $40. Or buy all for $70... What a deal!! TC-AZ
  5. Thanks to all that responded and advice. TC-AZ
  6. Hi RickUK, I own a V3i that has 10" D2 mounted on it. I also have the SEF 6 x 8 DD. The 10" D2 is "V" rated. Will that pose problems for the MXT? TC-AZ
  7. Looking into purchasing an aftermarket coil, equivalent to White's DD eclipse for an MXT specifically. I really don't know whats out there from other manuf. Looking for a HOT (sensitivity/depth) coil. Better target separation is a plus too. Or would you recommend I stay with whites coil? Any experience and feedback would help. Thanks, TC-AZ
  8. Yes Steve, one of the best ever written about the subject. All theories and techniques tried and true explained by Bob Brockett. I have read this book many times over the years, that it comes second nature when I'm out in the field hunting. Today's detectors are of the VLF and TR platform of 60 plus years ago when it all began. A great book for the beginner or a seasoned detectorist. TC-AZ
  9. Yes Chuck, I completely forgot to say this in my write-up. All prices include shipping. Sorry about that. TC-AZ
  10. FS: 3 Books by Clive J. Clynick. 1. “Pulsepower! Finding Gold at the Shore with a P.I. Metal Detector”, $15 now $13 2. “Shallow Water Metal Detecting: Lessons from the Pros”, $15 now $13 3. “Advanced Shallow Water Metal Detecting: Tips, Tricks and Methods for the Shoreline Treasure Hunter”, $15 now $13 Lastly, “Taking a Closer Look at Metal Detector Discrimination”, by Robert C. Brockett, Scarce. $45 now $40 Buy all for $80 $70 or Trade for a Good Used (but not abused closet queen) White’s Eclipse DD Search Coil w/cover. Thanks, TC-AZ
  11. I would try a slow setting (5-7 min) epoxy for repair of coils and such... the kind that model builders use. It comes in various consistencies from gel to watery. That's if you like to DYI or can't find an extra cover. Hey a little dab will do you 😀 TC-AZ
  12. Welcome to the forum, from southern AZ. What detector do you own or are you comtemplating on buying one?
  13. Welcome to the forum, from Southern AZ.
  14. Nice write up Steve. I hope you and all that responded have continued success in detecting for many years to come. Here are my 3 that I presently use and in no particular order. 1) XL-PRO last of meter w/needle 2) V3i w/coils 3) Pulse Scan TDI w/3 coils All White's. Kinda looking at the Manticore, but not serious enough... maybe in the future. TC-AZ
  15. I agree with Steve. What will get us (White's users) moving forward in the new technology? It totally depends on YOU. I hear, talk and read how we will use our detectors until the day we die. It seems that it is driven by a new generation of detectorist's. We older guys and gals get into a comfort zone where we are happy and don't like change. I am 65 and still willing to learn new things especially detectors. in my local club there are some that still have flip phones and can't or won't even text. And some members that don't want to bother with email so they want for you to call or mail the newsletter. TC-AZ
