    IDX Pro

    I had the Mr Bill mod done about a year ago, I have not used my detector for quite some time and I noticed today while setting the threshold the hum is more of a picket fence chatter, I don't usually hunt in all metal mode, is this normal? I tried my other coil and nothing changed.

    Had Mr Bill modified IDX Pro a couple years now and never had a problem or heard of any related to Mr Bill's mods. Glad you found the problem jangles. HH Bill (de)

    newcomer here but saw the post and the name stands out. My buddy owns the IDx and has pulled more great finds with it. I own the Classic I.d. and until recently the DFX. I'll say one thing, it is one of the best detectors out there for no-nonsense treaure finding. Have a good one! Here's him and his first CT copper. It was in some nasty iron and 8" down. The DFX missed it and trust me, I hunt slower than him. I plan to get one in the future.

    Re: IDX Pro - mod?

    I have one and like it - it's pulled out stuff even my Minelab has missed (including three halves!).
    In a nutshell, what's the mod about? And who's Mr. Bill?

    Re: IDX Pro

    In a nutshell the Mr. Bill mods

    Adds a boost cirquit on the Classic ID , IDX which adds depth---- tweaks the IDX Pro circuit

    Adds an external ground balance pot and knob for easier ground balancing-- factory pot is very fragile and can easily be damaged.

    Adds external knob to adjust threshold in all metal as it's really too loud from factory

    It's a nice mod and does make it better, i had a Classic ID and an IDX Pro and there was a big difference in the Classic ID depth vs factory version .

    Is it worth it? YEP ... HH Bill
