    Starting Over with My Etrac

    It's been some time since I've had an opportunity to go detecting and I've forgotten much about my Etrac. I have permission to hunt a never-before-hunted farm. I need some idea of basic settings that will get me started again, particularly in this situation as opposed to hunting a park. Thanks...

    Renaming Slots

    Can the slots My Pattern 1, My Pattern 2, etc. be renamed to something more meaningful, like Park Pattern or whatever has been saved to the slot? Or are the slot names hard-coded in the E-trac's software? Thanks, Relic

    Killer B Wasps on an E-trac

    I want to use my Killer B Wasps on my E-trac, but the sound through them is very faint. Minelab's FAQ says, "Our audio circuits will drive most headphones from 16 - 100 + ohms."; the Wasps are 150 ohms. I've tried changing the switch settings on the headphones, but it made no difference. I...

    Coil Confusion

    I want a coil larger than the stock E-trac coil for hunting culivated, open farm fields. What is the difference between SEF, WOT, NEL, Coiltek, Detech, etc. etc.? Is one more appropriate for where I'm hunting than another? Or, is it a matter of personal preference as in Chevy/Ford or...

    Early AT Pro Problems

    Hello! It's been awhile since I've been on the forums as life often gets in the way of living and interests have to give way to the demands of responsibilities. I'm glad to see that many familiar names are still active and contributing wisdom to the community. I'm interested in buying a used...

    Ground Balance Number Meaning

    The ground balance number on my X-Terra 70 is typically in the low 20s when auto-balancing. Is that considered low, moderate or high mineralization? Thanks, Relic

    Not Much Discussion About The X505

    There's quite a bit of discussion about the X305 and X705, but almost nothing about the X505. I'm seriously considering the 505 as an ideal coinshooter. Does anyone have any opinions? ( Now that's a dumb question! :wacko: ) HH, Relic

    Where Nickels Go to Die

    We've all heard of the mythical "elephant's graveyard"; I believe I found the very real nickels graveyard. I took my Eldorado with the CleanSweep coil to a park I recently started hunting to check out the volleyball courts. I started in discriminate at foil and found a nickel immediately; a few...

    Help Identifying Bullet

    While cleaning out the trash side of my finds bag, I pulled out a lump of melted slag, or so I thought. A closer look showed a hollow in it and washing it off revealed a dropped 3-ring bullet. I about swallowed my Copenhagen! I've seen these in CW videos on YouTube and in posts here, but I never...

    Diggin' the Iffies

    Yesterday afternoon, I took my Eldorado uMAX with the 3x18 CleanSweep coil to an area I had hunted several times in the past with the usual clad and tabs results. Late last fall, though, my wife dug her first coin without my help there and it was a 1944 wheatie. I figured maybe there's more to...

    X-Terra 70 and Advantage Comparison

    All things being equal, how does an X70 with the 3kHz 9" coil compare to an Advantage with the 5kHz 8" coil in regards to depth, iron rejection, separation, etc? Thanks! Relic

    X-Terra Short Lower Rod

    Would someone give me the length of the short lower rod? The stock rod is too long and I need to either cut it down or wear high heels when I detect. :rofl: Thanks, Relic

    Finally Getting An X-Terra 70

    After two years of should-I-or-shouldn't-I and saving the egg money, I'm getting an X-Terra 70. I'm really fired up! My other detectors are all single tone, beep and dig so this will be quite an adventure. I had an ACE 250 when they first came out and that has been my only experience with TID...

    Comparison Between 12.5" EXcelerator and 14" EXcelerator Coils

    I'm considering buying one or the other for my Advantage and looking for advice. Does anyone have experience with either or both of them? Thanks and HH, Relic
