How did you lads get on over the border on Saturday with the great Minelab/Fisher contest?

I am sure we would all be interested to hear the results. You must have done better than us, but I guess you may not have been able to match us for entertainment value! I mean its not everyday we call in the Bomb Squad!

cheers
Neil

''foiled'' again by the xs all i can say in my defense is i am new to the etrac and do not know if my program was set to its best..
It was not heard by me at all as a signal and that may have only been down to my programing.
may test again one day but like when i know my machine a bit better may take the se  to test next time which i know much better .
great day boys ,thank you for a really great welcoming and the invite .
will let you know what .f.l.o. reckons of the broach/mount...
cheers lads

hi vac and richard, firstly  i got two out of three iffy targets and would have had three,but for forgeting to circle target. anyway i thought it was a depth test,  you dodged that one, and phil don t forget i went over your well grided area, and found 5 targets in ten minutes, including a georgy penny how did you  miss that all in about twenty foot, cant wait to finish the rest of your grided area,  ::) ::) richard i couldn t concentrate with that machine of yours in all iron, you wouldn t hear a fire  engine with bells clanging driving past, next time bring your ex 11, i will program it for you, and the xs is history, good day out richie  your welcome again regards john

at the end of the day there's no point falling out over who's got the deepest this or that. jonny loves his ex11 and no one will change him he's happy with it. as long as your all finding then everyone's happy. like i said phil try the 75 and your explorer will be in the shed
