    Shafts need a redesign

    If you have to change coils quite often it can be a real problem gettig some of the coiled wire through the shaft. Often the coiled wire of extra coils is larger in diameter; or in cases where it's the right diameter it tends to become wider over time , necessitating threading the whole thing...

    Question for Andy about depth and large coil

    I'm still concentrating on a small area loaded with square nails, which exist at a depth of perhaps 4" inches down to 22". The usefulness of the six inch coil has been exhausted. I've been running in very close to all metal (ferrous) in an attempt to get some variable signal which might hint at...

    Is it a buckle?

    I found this object today, and I've never found one quite like it. It is a brass shell, and it is backed by pewter, not unlike some early military buckles. It is roughly two and half inches long by a little over one and a half wide. The corrosion on it is consistant with pre-CW perid finds from...

    Nautical spike?

    Ther object pictured is six sided, hand wrought brass or copper based metal. None of the six surfaces are of an even (equal) width, and they are all slightly concave. It is about three inches long, about 3/4 inch wide, and obviously broken off a longer piece. The unbroken end (which does not...

    another button

    I dug another pit today, at found these at about the same level as in the other ones (19 inces down.) This time around I used both the detector as a general tool as I'd skim off a few inches at a time, , but sifted every ounce of dirt also just to see if I was missing anything. I was using the...

    My first substantial find with new etrac

    This is my first attempt also to use "photobucket, so I hope it comes through. First, thanks to those who convinced me to back drag several inches off the top of my "iron patch", and thanks 3ringer for the ferrous program! I skimmed off about 8 inches a few inches at a time, and used the new 6"...

    question about deep iron

    After reading Andy's book several times I am still a little confused about the best settings for very deep coin signals where there are a lot of deep iron square nails. It suggests that you can lose deep coin signals because ferrous readings can go as high as 27 on these deep targets......so I'm...

    e-trac vs. vision

    I'm excited that tomorrow I'll be going back to some of my very productive colonial haunts in Pennsylvania (which I'd hit hard for many years with the old "6000" and "xlt") , and I'm going to have a real one on one comparison between my new e-trac and the new White's "vision". It should be...

    Question about square nails?

    A question for the experts; I am concentrating on an colonial area which has the following characteristics, and for which I would greatly appreciate some advice regarding settings: The location is a half mile from the ocean (6 feet above sea level) with a high concentration of bog iron; There...

    detector arrived

    Hello, this is my first post. I have enjoyed the last week reading your's. The e-trac detector arrived a few hours ago, and to say the least I am relieved. I have been detecting for thirty-five years, and detecting weekly (if not daily) my home of 300 years for the last ten years when weather...
