    Andy Sabisch's New Book!

    I ordered Andy's new book a few days ago from his website -- at $20 including shipping it's a great deal. I was amazed at how fast it arrived in my mailbox and after thumbing through it, it looks like a very well written book and a "must have" for anyone that owns the Explorer or the E-Trac. I...

    Garrett Pro-Pointer vs. DetectorPro Pistol Probe?

    Anyone have any opinions on which is the better pinpointer? I haven't seen either in person and am not aware of the various features of each. Have been using a VibraProbe for the past 8 years.

    More Kudos for Detector Depot :thumbup:

    Based on the phenominal package deal that these folks are offering on the E-Trac I just purchased I decided to return for some more items. Lynn helped me pick out a shovel - he's an avid detectorist himself - and I decided to go with the Lesche Relic Digger. I also ordered my 3rd X-1 probe as I...

    Any Programmers Out There?

    I've got about 95% of the Pattern File (.prn) file decyphered and the other files should be a breeze. I'm at the point that I could design/write a Pattern Editor for the PC which I think is sorely needed as it's a PITA to edit patterns exclusively on the control box. I'm not a hardcore Windows...

    Creating a Disc Pattern: More on Minelab's Brain Dead Software... :thumbdown:

    OK, I've read the manual and I'm trying to simply create a disc pattern starting out with a clear SmartFind screen and just blacking out some part of the screen. I go into Edit - select Manual mode on the right and the Large Edit Frame on the left. I hit the Accept/Reject button and low and...

    Looking at the E-Trac Pattern File Formats (need some patterns please)...

    Can someone that has their E-Trac handy send me some patterns? What I would like are the following 4 files: 1. A pattern for a wide open screen (no disc at all) 2. A pattern for a fully discriminated screen (all black) 3. A pattern with a discrimination of 1 - xx (all ferrous 1 locations...

    E-Trac Exchange: Typical Brain-Dead Minelab Software :(

    Finally had a chance to load E-Trac Exchange on my PC this evening. I downloaded a couple patterns from this site to my desktop and associated them with the app. When I double-click the pattern file on my desk top it lauches E-Trac Exchange - the mode tab is shown - which is stupid in and of...

    Custom made sand scoops and things?

    Howdy pirates! I remember a while back a thread where someone was asking about opinions on the best sand scoop. Someone mentioned a guy and said something like "contact xxxxx, he's great and can fabricate just about anything that you can ask for. (I seem to remember he might have been...

    Happy Birthday to Me! - Just One Little Silver...

    But what a nice one indeed. Today is my birthday and I just told my wife that I was going detecting for a couple hours at 5PM. Went back to a little "park" that I'd written off about 8 years ago when I'd first started with my Explorer. The wife and I drove past it last weekend and I noticed...

    A Question for DigitRich...

    You wrote: Mine Lab (sic) has specifically stated, just as every other manufacture of metal detectors across the globe has as well: "all metal detecting is the deepest search method available and the less discrimination used, the better, that using discrimination may make you miss good targets"...

    Why I Don't Think We Need Ferrous Sounds Any More With the E-Trac

    It seems that the older Explorer Ferrous (0-31) and Conductive (0-31) have been re-mapped to the new Conductive (1-50) & Ferrous (1-35). The majority of the good finds have been mapped to a 12-line on the Ferrous axis. The reason some like Ferrous sounds on the Explorer is because of iron...

    Hard Hearted Hannah

    Well my first day off with my new E-Trac in hand and Hannah is dumping rain on us here in northern NJ at the moment! I guess we needed the rain here, but I sure would have liked to get out with the ET today. I may install the software, set her up and try scanning in a few coins with the X-1...

    Top 10 Excuses to Tell Your Wife When She Finds Your New E-Trac! :yikes:

    10. What? This old thing? 9. The cat dragged it in. 8. It's not mine, I'm beta-testing this unit for Minelab. 7. What metal detector? That's not a metal detector. 6. Oh honey, you just spoiled your surprise birthday gift. 5. I only bought it so I could find enough money to pay for $4 gas...
