705

Hey all, Just wanted to share my thoughts on the NELS Tornado Multi-Frequency DD coil for the Xterra 705 machine. I've had the coil now for about 4 weeks and I must say I'm impressed with the ease of use, targeting, and the weight; whether I've nailed more coins than my concentric is still a...

Just a curious question about batteries and your machines - For the past year I have been using either regular Duracell Coppertop or Rayovac and they have worked splendid, recently I noticed while at the barber shop a copy of Consumer Reports and they had a review on AAA batteries - citing that...
