    Thinking Seriously about Moving to the Deus

    Hello, I've noticed there are quite a few CTX 3030 users that have crossed over to the Deus...I was curious as to why? For the last 2 plus years I've been using the CTX and have been happy with its performance but I'd like to try something different. I have a few reasons for wanting to make...

    Coiltek Coil for CTX 3030

    I just received the new coiltek coil in the mail today and was a little disappointed that the coil-to-stem attachment hole is the wrong diameter. The coil's attachment holes are 1/4" in diameter and the ctx shaft attachment hole is 5/16" in diameter. I'm not sure how such an annoying oversight...

    Silver finds from 1/12/13 hunt

    Had a good day yesterday! First found the 1918D Walker in the front yard of an older home...it came in at a 12:46 @ about 2 inches, I thought it was going to be a quarter but instead was my first Walking Liberty half. Next found the Merc, I believe a 1920D the mint mark is clear, in a sidewalk...

    Etrac metal detecting in Connecticut

    I'm going to be in Connecticut for the New Year and was wondering if there is anyone from this forum that use the E-trac there? If so, how does the etrac perform at the beach areas, and inland areas? What type soil conditions should I expect? Thank you

    Picture size requirements on findmall

    Holiday Greetings! I recently posted a picture of a coin on this website but I noticed the size of the pic couldnt be more than approx. 400kb. The quality of my posted pic was poor and I cannot get an expanded pic size when I click the pic. How are some of these avid users of this site able...

    Took the CTX 3030 Plung...

    I ordered the ctx last week through Bart at Big Boys Hobbies and got an outstanding deal with the holiday package and all. It arrived yesterday, and I spent much of the night assembling it/reading the manual. So, if time permits, I'll try it out tonight. Looking for some suggestions about...

    Questions about bill_s trashy park pattern

    I've been hunting a park lately that is very trashy, pull tabs galore, but I've managed to pull 3 mercs and one war nickle from it. I'd love to try the bill_s trashy park pattern while detecting this park but was concerned if the heavy discrimination in the pull tab area would cause a constant...

    Surface Targets Only?

    I've had my etrac for about 2 months and only seem to be recovering coins down as far as 3 inches...No silver coins yet, 4 wheat pennies, and a few rings. The places I'm hunting in, parks that go back to the 1920's, seem like they should give up silver but with the exception of what I've listed...

    Sun Ray Gold Headphones

    Hello, After reading several positive comments on the Sun Ray Gold headphones. I decided to purchase a set. After receiving them in the mail, I tried them out and didn't nearly get the performance I expected. With the etrac's volume limit set to 10 and the headphone volume maxed, the volume was...

    Etrac Coil Cover

    Hello, Can anyone let me know the easiest way to remove the coil cover off of the stock coil that comes with etrac. I've been reading on this forum that trapped dirt between the coil and the cover can cause falsing, which I've noticed lately. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Jerry
