    Its a real(e) good park!!

    Sunday Jimzilla and I hit a park that we have hit before and I have hit several times in the past with the Etrac. This park was hammered by many due to its age. There is a homestead there that dates to 1741 and it is still standing today. Last year I detected an area near the house that had...

    My last Etrac find:sadwalk:

    Although it is sad that I will no longer be using the Etrac, it was a great machine for me and has made me many great finds. I do not post many of my finds but I thought I would post this one due to the fact it was not only my last find but also a pretty neat one. I found this medal at a...

    1-50 falsing?

    I run in combine using ground coin and often get real nice repeatable 1-50 hits that make me stop dead and check out the vdi. I was wondering if wise to discriminate out 1-50 only or would this make me potentially miss some good targets? I have never bothered digging the 1-50 because I'm sure...

    Etrac vs CTX comparison on sensitivity

    I wanted to see if the CTX was worth my wild since getting the new machine. I am very happy with it thusfar! I went out to an old church today that burnt down around 1830 with a friend who is very proficient with his Etrac. We were both running in auto plus 3 and something told me to ask him...

    CTX Hits hard on coins

    I went hunting an old ballfield yesterday with JImzilla and we had a good time even with the sweating heat. I was very impressed on how th ctx hit soo hard on wheats at the 6-8 inch range. I have not dug any silver yet with the ctx but that is due to lack of time using and just getting the coil...

    question on settings

    Jimzilla and I and a friend of ours with the Etrac went to a heavily hit trashy park today. They did pretty darn good considering but I was lacking in the finds department. Jim tried to help me out with the settings but I am baffled as to why this worked. I have pattern set up in open screen...

    Suggestions other than software

    I know there is a post on software suggestions but thought I would put up a post on other like mechanical. I noticed today while detecting that there is a little issue looking at the screen. My thought would be to make the screen adjustable left and right so that it is more angled to your eyes...

    Going to try Gonehunting's settings

    Tomorrow morning I will have my maiden voyage with the CTX at a local 200 plus year old park or maybe a house that is as old!! I am going to try Gonehunting's settings with the exception of a wide open screen or maybe the relic pattern. I primarily used the Etrac in TTF so I am betting this...

    Just received my new CTX from the UPS guy. Thank you to New England Detectors for such outstanding service and the fastest shipping I've seen. Also received my new muzzle loader today so I feel like a kid at Christmas. Been waiting on that for a year now. Battery on the CTX is on the charger and...

    Water tektin gear??

    Ok so while awaiting to see what dealers may have the CTX in stock I would like to see from some of you more experienced guys/gals what type of equiptment, clothing, etc. is best suited for all types of water hunting? Weather it be salt, fresh, shallow wading or dry sand. Right now I have the...

    Just a thought??

    In my area there are no local dealers that sell Minelab products. If I buy out of state I avoid the taxes and they will ship for free usually anyway. Although I would prefer to buy local.....taxes can kill. And respectfully I know some of you guys are loyal to your dealer and that is not a bad...
