    Made up my mind.... going with the 800

    Thanks, jmaclen. I'm ready to hunt... feel like a 10-year-old kid with a new toy. The e-trac and the AT Gold have both been good to me. Bought the AT afterwards for the benefits you have mentioned, plus its light weight and being waterproof (I often hunt in light rain, or near creeks and ponds...

    50 cents worth of silver?

    Very nice find. All silver is good. Foreign, or domestic. My only foreign silver find is a 1855 Canadian 5 cent piece.

    Made up my mind.... going with the 800

    Thanks, everyone. Currently 'negotiating' a package deal for the 800 and the 6" coil. Waiting to hear back from a dealer.

    Made up my mind.... going with the 800

    Thanks to Equinox users for posting so many great finds and the stories behind them. It made deciding between the 600 and 800 (both being capable detectors) somewhat difficult but the 800 won out with its extra features....plus it'll be a retirement gift to myself so I can splurge a little...

    Cool "eye find" (but no silver to brag about)

    Saturday's weather was high 40s and no wind, good enough to revisit a 1800's home site (now a plowed field with lots of iron trash) that has produced several silvers and other goodies. This hunt landed a 1905 Indian and a couple of Wheats, but I couldn't read their dates. The best find was a...

    ALL of my silver finds in 2015....

    This is it folks.. '42, and '42 S Mercs...:blush:...at least i didn't get skunked...:super: Found some wheats and a few Indians too. Sorry to embarrass the E-Trac family. But i have the excuse that the # of hunts i did this year can all be counted on one hand. Too much work and no time to...

    Couple of keepers...trade token and button

    Had a short (1 1/2 hours) hunt today, but it was enough time to recover a trade token and a neat looking button. This token is not listed on the trade token data base site. Any info on it will be much appreciated. No coins to report. I posted this in the E-Trac forum but decided to post it here...

    Short afternoon hunt yields a couple of keepers.

    I had planned on spending the morning and early afternoon hours MD'ing but was called in to work overtime. So the hunt at a favorite site was cut short to 1 1/2 hours...but in that time I recovered a trade token and a neat looking button (and a lot of trash that isn't worth showing). I checked a...

    field hunt finds. IH & buttons.

    Permission granted, i got to hunt an 1800's home site last weekend. The road that once led to the house is also part of the field, which meant a half mile walk to reach the location. As all old farms are, the site was iron heavy but the 8x6 SEF with its excellent depth and seperation performed...

    Assorted finds...but no coins :blush:

    Spent a cold and windy few hours searching a couple of fields that were home sites marked in the 1874 atlas. Didn't stay long enough to find any coins or silver to brag about. :sadwalk: Dug up a lot of mason jar lid scraps, a pair of Schrader tire pressure guages, and other assorted brass. The...

    A must have book for info on Illinois ghost towns...

    I love this book published by the Illinois State Historical Society titled "Illinois Place Names" (revised copy printed in '89). There are over 600 pages of invaluable information...it lists virtually every named town that has existed, or still exists. It states when a ghost town's post office...

    Question on GPS features of CTX...

    ...can "My Places" from Google Earth be loaded into the CTX?? I usually carry a handheld GPS to mark the spots or take me right to the ones downloaded fom GE.

    ATG AND ATP operating frequencies...????

    I'm a long time Minelab user and for various reasons I'm considering buying an AT Gold. Question...the Garrett website comparison chart shows different operating frequencies... ATG is 18 kHz, and ATP is 15 kHz. Why the difference? Is the higher frequency better for finding gold??

    This stainless 'relic' is a keeper!!

    Any firearms fans out there??? I'm a big fan of S&W revolvers and have bought and sold quite a few...but this is one i will never let loose of. It's a Model 625-3 (.45 ACP) with the hard to find and very desirable 3" barrel. It took over 2 years to find one at a reasonable price. It's a sweet...

    WTT, Sun Ray Stealth X8 coil (Minelab Etrac, etc.) for X5..

    I have a like new Sun Ray Stealth X8 coil that works with Minelab E-Trac, Explorer, etc. It has very little use and is in excellent working condition, bottom cover included. Would like to trade this coil for a Sun Ray X5 coil (Minelab E-Trac compatible) that is in similar excellent working...
