    HEY YOU, SLOW DOWN!!!

    I have an old park near me that is so beat out that no one even bothers to go there anymore. I answered a post earlier about a guy wanting to "upgrade" from the Etrac to the CTX. I wanted to prove something to myself that the Etrac is hard to beat so I went to this old park and went slow and...

    Ctx 3030 vs.Etrac

    Has anyone who swings an Etrac been blown out of the water by a Ctx 3030? I finally got to see a 3030 in action yesterday by a few guys at a group hunt and after the day was over I thought those guys overpaid for their machines. I hunted with one guy with a 3030 who was slow and methodical and...

    5.5x9.5 NEL coil review

    I finally got out for a couple hours yesterday to a local trashy park. I have been wanting to try out my new coil so I gave it a try. I didn't find anything but clad but I can say that I think the NEL coil has even better seperation than my 8x6 SEF and I think it is because the NEL is more...

    SMOKIN E-trac PRICE!!!

    I was cruising Craigslist and found an Etrac used twice with tons of accessories and an x-1 probe for $1100 bucks! The thing is brand new, not a scratch. The guy bought it and switched over to the CTX right away. I love the X-1! I have been looking for one for my other machine but they are...

    New 5.5x9.5 Sharpshooter coil

    I picked up a new NEL Sharpshooter 5.5x9.5 today and was wondering if any of you guys have any expirience with it. The shop owner said that he can't keep them in stock and everyone is raving about them. He didn't push it on me, I decided to buy it because I thought the shape of it would be great...

    HEY ATPro Guys!!

    I asked on the Etrac forum about what detector I should get for my fiance and the AT Pro came up. From what I have read, you guys using them, really like them. It does sound like a great detector and I am really leaning in that direction. I am going to Windy City Detectors this morning to look...

    How do I fix my coil ears?

    I managed to break the ears off my stock FBS coil, woods hunting. I have another and a couple sef coils but would like to fix it. I tried plastic epoxy and it didnt last long. I see these flimsy ears being a problem on my other coil. Anyone else having this problem?

    Pin Pointer mount

    Hey everyone! If your like me, it gets to be a PITA to hang your pin pointer in the belt sheath that comes with it, especially when you are digging alot of targets. I just zipped tied the sheath to the shaft of my machine near the control box and life is good! Plus you can keep an eye on it. I...

    Help identifying detector

    Hi everyone, I need help. I am 40 years into detecting. My dad bought me my first when I was 8 years old. I want to find a machine like I had but cannot find any pictures of it. I was thinking that someone here might be able to help if I describe it. The year would have been around 1970, the...

    Safari and Etrac

    Hi everyone! Long time lurker here. I don't want to beat a dead horse but I wanted to put my 2 cents in on the Etrac vs. Safari debate. I have been detecting for over 40 years. My last machine was a Whites Surfmaster so I am a tone hunter. I finally wanted to move into the 21st century so I went...
