    Another 50 tone vs. 5 tone question.

    Put me on the list with sgoss and mascard1 on this one too. I've been swinging the Nox for 2.5 years.

    I was greeted by a nice surprise this evening. It also baffles me how all these coins have been missed.

    Very nice digs...Congrats!!!! I run the same settings as yours except my IB is set at F2-4.... I dig less rusted nails at this setting. In F2-0, rusted nails sound just like silver and I got tired of digging those. Are you experiencing the same at your IB setting? My dirt is pretty mild here in...

    Equinox and nickels....

    War nickels come in at both mid and high CO. I have several of both. Me and my buddies often dig these at our old local parks. Silver contents in some of these were slightly higher, and was minted this way at the discretion of the mint. There is a detailed info on this in the internet.

    Huntng/Testing in 5, 10, 15 khz?

    I've only used it to cross check when I have a bottle cap number. At times I get static in 5 and sometimes 10 then I'll have to switch to 15 then it gets stable. But other than cross checking bottle caps, I hunt in multi. The manual says you can go deeper in these modes vs multi but I just...

    Honestly... what depths are you getting in Auto?

    Hey everyone I know this comes up quite a bit and will probably be ongoing because of the performance of Etrac and CTX... IMO 2017, was my first full year detecting. Got lots of silver, wheats, relics, rings, a dated SLQ, Barber, foreign currency, blah, blah, blah. It has done well for me. I...

    How do you hunt a trashy vacant lot?

    Hey Everyone; I came upon a vacant lot and the neighbor tells me it used to have military tanks on it. He also said there were parts scattered everywhere. The structure has been gone for a few years now except a few old trees. I briefly hunted it but there was a ton signals all over the...

    Will Etrac give me accurate target ID on rusted metal?

    I'm still on the fence in my decision to upgrade to Etrac from Safari. I have a question that with the answer I'm looking for may seal the deal for me. Scenario; My Safari picks up a high dime signal 38 and I dig 6" and I pull out a rusted 1" screw. Happens all the time. Will the Etrac tell...

    Don't ignore the newer parks...

    I've read somewhere on the posts where they say that parks from the 60's on up are a waste of time. Here are my finds from last evening and the day before. Short, 2.5 hour hunts surprised me but again can't emphasize enough about studying the maps. This park at one time had a couple dozen...

    My Safari was showing off yesterday...

    Yes, he was like Pacman gobbling up all the wheaties. I spent 10 hours at a heavily hunted out park in Los Angeles yesterday. I planned on spending about 4 hours but my Safari kept hitting on coins so I had to keep up with it. Every tone was ignored and ONLY dug from copper on up. No matter...

    Coinshooters: Conductive or Ferrous?

    Hey All; If you are primarily a coinshooter, do you hunt in conductive or ferrous and why? Still learning the nuances between the two. Thank you for your input and HH.

    Thinking about upgrading to Etrac....

    Hi All; I'm seriously thinking about upgrading to Etrac from my Safari and I need your HONEST opinion for those who are previous or current Etrac owners. The reason being is that I read in too many posts (in the Etrac forums) that the Etrac ID's targets accurately therefore a lot less digging...

    Cannot explain uncontrollable falsing & chattering.

    Hey all... I went out this morning to an old suburban park in Ontario, Ca. The minute I turned my Safari on it was like a slot machine with noise up and down the scale. I thought a noise cancel would take care of it.... nope!! Went to sens button scaled down from 16 to auto. No change...

    My finds today plus gold ring (cheapo)...have question.

    Hello all; I went out in the blazing heat today. Went through 8 bottles of water and gatorade. Hunted in the shade in small areas. Got 4 nice wheats.... '40, '44, '45, '53 and a 14k yellow gold ring. My ATP partner calls it the "pimp" ring. My question is with the ring. I found the exact...

    Safari depth meter issues?

    Hello MD'ers; Anyone having depth meter issues with their Safari? I may have read a post or two about this somewhere down the road. Here is my problem; It consistently tells me that target is 6" deep (half way on the meter) when upon digging it is really 2" - 3" inches deep. If the coin is...
