Yes I got one from Todd :)

Saw that video...posted to it... copy below.

I found many errors in your testing!

I call operator error?

X-Terra pro is a different beast and you have to do things differently when switching frequencies, etc.  I've been reading the 50+ page manual and have learned a lot...

1. Per the manual you need to do another ground balance any time you switch frequencies. Or it resets back to the default which is in the middle of the scale.

2. The ground you were testing in had lots of iron in it!  So why did you leave it in Recovery Speed 1? 

1 is low recovery
2. is medium recovery 
3 is high recovery 

With all that iron in the ground you needed to be on recovery speed 3. (Page 32 of the manual) All that iron at recovery speed 1 was also causing more iratic  ID #s too.

3. At the end of the video I saw you do a ground balance over iron which it registered just before that.
Per the manual always do a all metal mode check of the ground you're going to use for ground balance to make sure it's clean before doing this.

Any time you switch frequencies you're suppose to do a ground balance again as the unit will go back to the default setting (per the manual page 16 & 23).

Also, recovery speed 1 gives least sepration. 3 gives the most....never saw you put it on 3 🤔 as you could hear the null iron.

Other things to consider...

This is a prototype of the coming retail unit. Will retail units be the same?

Price will surely be more with all that carbon fiber.  

How much bigger is the Simplex coil or just rounder? Many say size matters!

I call for a re-match with all this in mind 🙂

Todd had a NOS new old stock.... $12.95 plus shipping... Worked perfectly.  This one will be my loner to friends as I just got a Minelabs X-Terra Pro :)

Figured it out... two small Grommets to center and a small washer

What hardware kit do I need to install a Blue Max 950 coil to my 6000 di/professional?  Thks

Nice!  Advantages to using the 950 over the stock and larger coil I have?  Could not find any review  comparison on it.  Thks:)

I currently have a White's 6000 Di/Professional detector which came with the standard and larger search coil.

If this won't work what do you think I could get for it?

Thanks9

Thks Phrunt...Todd is checking on Monday for me 🙂

I purchased this from an online app for $110 shipped. The meter's clear plastic cover got damaged so it needs to be replaced. Other than that the meter the detector works perfectly.  The guy I got it from did purchased insurance on it... so we'll see where that goes over time.  Does anyone have a good used cover or know who might have one?  Worse case I could reseal it with some crystal clear hot glue.

Also he included a 11" White's relic coil any info on that?  Can it be used for deeper coins? Dirt/Beach?

I used to own a 6000/Di in the 80's  What's the benefits of the Pro unit?

I do have a comfort-Tech shoulder strap sling I plan on using on this one.

Batteries 4xC cells.  Worth going with rechargeable or Lipo conversion?

Detector stand? Diy or?  So the meter doesn't get wacked! 🙂

Any other suggestions? Thanks!
