New Owner

[leoeotw]

Well I found my real first treasure.
I found a good deal on a "New to me" Minelab X-terra 70!
Thanks to Frank from South Carolina I am now in the MLO circle.
I am learning the detector and the MDing Hobby (when someone says Hobby think addiction!) at the same time so I have a lot on my plate.
I hope to get out this weekend and find my first treasure (pull tab ) with it.

Just a thought here.
Why can't I find the pull tabs that are still attached to a full beer can?

Later.
Glen

Congrats! I have an X-terra 70 also. Great machine with a ton of features. You will love it! Here is what should be called the the X-terra Bible.Download it(free). Read it, read it again, go practice with the X70 then read it some more

Also check out this youtube series from Minelab, very good information:

Congratulations on getting into a great machine!

Now...go directly to the Minelab website and sign up (it's free and obligates you to nothing). Then go to the "Members" area and download Randy Horton's FREE E-Book "Understanding Your Xterra". Randy's book is a resource that no Xterra owner should be without.

I don't know about the current status of the DVD's, as they are now old. But you might find these articles good additional reading.
