I guess I'm getting cabin fever and I've been daydreaming about detecting. Today, I put the DÄ“us on the charger to top off the batteries and watched a few YouTube videos on detecting.
I've been using my old White's pinpointer, which has been a rugged workhorse, with my DÄ“us. The vibrate function's motor has worn out but it still works perfectly otherwise after years of use with my White's DFX. I also picked up a cheap carrot knock-off to keep in the car with my back-up gear. It seems to work very well, but I'm not sure about its durability.
Today, I decided to splurge on the XP MI-6. I love that it turns off the DÄ“us coil when you turn it on, and that it transmits through the DÄ“us headphones.
I'm currently running the 5.0 software on my DÄ“us (I'm a Mac user and can't do any software updates at home). I'm hoping a new MI-6 will function well with it. If not, I'm going to have to find someone with a Windows machine to help me update my software.
Any thoughts, hints, tips, etc.? I've got a solid 2 1/2 months before the ground thaws and I can start swinging a coil...
Good hunting,
Bob
