    Paid for!

    Wow! A 34.5 gram gold chain and cross came out of the sand for me this morning. The cross is 14.7 grams of 18K gold and the 25 inch 14K chain weighs in at 19.8 grams. This is my best find in 3 years and I am stoked! I have had my 3030 for 3 weeks now and love how quiet it runs on the beach. A...

    virus reported

    I just tried to connect to the X Change 2 program to download universal setting changes and received a virus threat warning. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a valid warning? Did you proceed? Thanks, Terry in San Diego

    New 3030

    I guess I am a techno junky as my E-Trac is a great machine, no complaints worth mentioning, yet still I am trying to wade through the mass of data that came with my new CTX-3030. Do this don't do that, can't I read the signs...er manual. I did find a few coins and a copper bracelet on a beach...

    Is this a first on the forum?

    Found an interesting coin on Sat. So for a brain teaser, do you know what it is? I do! I located info on the coin on the internet, it is not a common coin. I will post the other side tomorrow. Good Luck! Terry in San Diego

    12/17 & 12/21:detecting:

    I have not gotten out much lately due to house projects, but I woke up at 0430 yesterday, knew I was not going to get any more sleep and hit the beach. I was there at 0520, just after an average low tide of .2 and by 0530 I had a few coins and a target that I was pretty sure was going to be a...

    Big and not so big

    After reading about hunting in two tone ferrous this morning I decided to give it a try. It was quieter, but I am not sure if the trade off is worth it, as I had to look at my screen much more than I am used to. Also it seemed more like a one tone as I never heard but one kind of medium pitched...

    More Probe Q's

    I am going to get a better probe this month and have a simple question. I use three coils with my ET and to save hassle I have them mounted on three separate upper and lower shafts. Changing coils is just a moments effort. From what I read Sun Ray would require three new upper shafts to retain...

    Medium silver

    I went out for an hour or two yesterday at a local church yard. The church is in the process of being rebuilt and there are loaders and backhoes tearing up the landscape. Mind now I have been watching this process for weeks, ever since they stripped the grass away. At any rate yesterday I asked...

    Back from Alaska and :canadaflag:

    Hi All, Two months ago I posted a message that I was off to Alaska with:detecting: and fishing rod in hand. The fishing was great if you like to catch big halibut, which I do! The detecting was not as good. Don't travel with a group on a schedual as there were all these great looking sites that...

    E T thoughts

    I got out yesterday in two areas and had some luck, 3 buffs, a merc, and a wheat, plus the usual clad stuff. At the second site I was thinking about some of the posts here I have been following, This site is on the edge of the desert, hot and dry? you only hunt in the shade of the cottonwoods...

    Firsts!

    Another first today! That makes three firsts this month! I purchased my E-trac on the 7th and am most pleased with my results so far. Today it was a 1923s Walking Liberty half, my first one. My other firsts are a no date SLQ, and two IH cents, a 1892 and a 1903. Five Mercs, a 1919s Buff, a 42s...

    Beach hunting

    I am having trouble on salt water beaches with my new E-Trac. I have just had it for two weeks so I am very new to this machine, my excuse for operator error. It does not want to settle down for me, If I swing it at any kind of sweep speed other than 1 or 2 inches /second it sounds like an Oboe...
