Wireless headphones on old tech! That’s a nice set up!

I run a Bluetooth wireless set up on all my Beep and Digs also, I do not care for over the ear headphones so I went a different route from what Bob is running

One of the Golden Mask detectors I own I had to do some crazy engineering to get a Wireless transmitter to work, my Golden Mask 7 I had to build a Dummy Load and use a two way splitter that is 1/4 male to 1/8 x2 female, you plug the dummy load into one of the 1/8 ports and the Wireless Bluetooth transmitter into the other 1/8 port that is the only way I could get the GM7 to work with a Wireless Low Latency transmitter to work

Thanks for sharing this Bob S. Be sure to let us how your setup is working!

Bob, I have to say that your graphics made the Shadow series of detectors some of the best looking detectors ever made. Just my opinion.

Thank you! I really had a good time designing the labels. It was a really good choice of Troy to go with all black hardware, that made the choice of colors I used bounce on the detector and in print. It also was an eye catcher on dealer tables at shows too. For me, being self-employed within the metal detector industry was not like work. Having the X2 back just makes all my memories all that more close. Being supported by such great people just reinforces my faith in good people.

I grabbed my Shadow this morning to find an object that dropped in tall grass. Pinpointed it and immediately located what I was looking for. I have had my Troy Shadow for years. I will never part with it. I have two other detectors but this is my go to one.

I did the same thing a few days ago... I dropped a 9V in the X2 and off I went just outside the house to look for a wire bracket my wife lost in her flower garden. She showed me where it dropped in the high flowers and I had it found in a couple swings. The bracket itself was ferrous in content and plated in chrome. It was from those hanging solar lights. Sometimes simple less costly detectors can have a distinct advantage!

My x5 pinpointer

I'll bet that X5 pinpointer goes a lot deeper than most pinpointers nowadays! 🙂 Love the belt attachment!

Bob with settings on Max in all metal it picks up gold at depth my 4500 can't. Takes 2 minutes to remount on regular shaft.
