I've owned my X-TERRA 30 for the better part of 6 months now. In my neck of the woods I've found most of what is expected - modern clad, occasional early 1900's coins, a few rings, and LOTS of trash. But Thanksgiving Day here in 2008 was the day that changed all of that. I'm a casual metal detector user, and the X-TERRA 30 really fits me well (though I'm really aching to get my hands on a Safari), and to me, finding something out of the usual really gets the blood pumping. On Thanksgiving morning, I packed the X-TERRA 30 into the car, and off to my girlfriends parents house we went. Thankfully, they don't mind me digging in their yard. I had done it on only one other occasion, and happened to pull a WWII era US Army Air Corps enlisted lapel pin out of their front yard. But this time out, I had plans to dig much longer, at least an hours worth.
