    Etrac Still Viable?

    I hope so, I still haven't learned mine because I won't stop using the Explorer. Well my 2001 Explorer died recently and I bought a used one cheap. It's hard to change what I'm comfortable with, but I've heard that the E-Trac is even better.

    I took the Plunge...

    I've been a forum member for a number of years, just lurking in recent years though. I have a new E-Trac on the way. I have been using an Explorer since 2001 with great success but I have been having issues with the display and decided to upgrade. I chose an E-Trac because I have a whole...

    Real Treasure

    On Saturday my family and I went to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia to see the King Tut Exhibit. I Saw it at the Smithsonian in 7th grade (1976 or 1977) but I appreciated it more as an adult. The detail of many items is unbelievable when you considered what they had to work with 3200...

    Good start for 2006

    My start to 2006 is going good. I got out Wed and found a King George II that almost showed a date and a 41 Merc. On Fri I got out again and got a well worn 1903 Barber Dime. Over the past two years we've dug about 25 coppers ranging from 1697 to 1818, a seated dime, alot of mercs and Rosies...

    1793 Chain Cent !!!

    This was dug by my friend Ralph on Saturday, eight inches down. It was a half hour dig through roots. He was using a DFX. I scanned it because my camera battery is shot, this doesn't show the detail very well. The Obverse is spectacular for a dug coin but the Reverse didn't fare as well. I...

    Coin Cleaning and grading....

    It's been covered a bunch of times and I never made note because it didn't apply to me. Well a friend of mine found a 1793 chain cent of Saturday and a local shop offered him $3500.00 on the spot. The front is immaculate but the back is pretty rough. He wants to have it cleaned and graded, I...

    Florida Finds...

    The temps here are more conducive to water hunting here than in Pennsylvania. I talked to my sister in PA and it's lows in the mid 20's with snow. I was found a crematorium tag (a first for me) and a mens 10K ring with three white stones that I'm hoping are diamonds, I'll have it checked at...

    Florida Questions...

    This time next week I'll be halfway to New Smyrna Beach. I'm staying for a week or so. I'd like to detect in New Smyrna Beach and probably Daytona Beach or the Ormond Beach area. What are the conditions in those areas as far as sanded in ect. Where are good spots to access the beaches. I'm not...

    The Encounter...

    My Ex-Wife just moved to Florida and they have a dog beach. Well she took Matilda to the beach and Mr. Pelican decided to land dangerously close. Matilda didn't know what to make of it, here in Pennsylvania most of the birds fit in Matilda's mouth easily. I would have liked a picture from the...

    Help with coin I.D.

    I'm posting this for a friend of mine, it was given to him and not dug. I guess it is some type of commemerative token or something along those lines. We checked a few books and on line with no luck. Thanks, George

    Back from the Shore...

Low tide was 2:17 am, we got there around 10:00 pm I took my new scoop for a test run and did alright. 14K white gold wedding band and a really large 14k crucifix and chain. Got a junk ring, it was stone side up in the scoop and I almost had a coronary...

    Scoop project

    After pricing some of the stainless long handled scoops, I decided to make my own. I was fortunate enough to get the materials for free. The bucket is 5 inch stainless tubing, it is a little thicker wall than I wanted but hey free is free you know. The only thing I had to buy was the hand grip...

    Joined the ranks....

    After using an Explorer since 2001 inland with alot of good finds, I decided to give the beach a try and I liked it but my explorer didn't like wet sand a whole lot. Well my Excal arrived yesterday, I did the cutting for my long handled scoop today (the Bucket is 5" stainless tube), going to...
