    Etracs, they're not just for silver....

    Had a great day Saturday it started when hitting a location we've been over a lot. The difference was it rained hard the night before and the sandy soil was wet. First ten minutes got us this: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/elcruisr/finds/IMG_20120212_072501.jpg Got my pulse going but...

    Florida detecting

    It ain't all beaches, resorts and parks. These were taken in the woods on a new site for us. Big oaks, huge old vines, palmettos, bamboos and lots of thorny "wait a minute" vines. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/elcruisr/finds/th_IMG_20120211_150301.jpg?t=1329083512...

    Anyone try beach hunting in just pinpoint mode?

    Had another minelab guy I met on the beach back a month or so say to try hunting in pinpoint for more depth. Well the beach conditions were poor but we wanted a day on the beach this weekend. Seriously sanded in, some places looked to have several feet of new sand. Findings were pretty poor...

    Pinpoint question

    Do the settings from normal mode have any effect on pinpoint mode? Sensitivity, deep on, etc?

    Tone question

    OK, things are getting better with my E-Trac all the time. After several months I'm getting to know it much better and the settings that seem to work best in my area for what I hunt. I've been starting to hunt some new areas lately though that have a higher level of mineralization and I was...

    Interesting hunt in some really bad ground

    We tried out a new spot today with my hunting buddy. I was swinging my E-Trac and he had his AT-Pro. We hit an old park area with a spring fed lake which used to be a swimming area but is way down now. So when we get started the E-Trac is chattering like crazy after my usual startup including a...

    What a great accessory, the Swingy Thingy

    Did my first full day of swinging an E-Trac without changing arms and without pain. Thank you Doc and your Swingy Thingy! My shoulders are a mess. Right one has been reconstructed and neither is great. Arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis and i also tore the rotator cuff in my right shoulder years...

    Oh, No!!!!

    Had to send in my AT-Pro for warranty repair!!!! The withdrawal pain, the agony!! :stretcher: My ground balance packed it in. Wouldn't work in auto and in manual I had a 20 point spread of silence, no high or low tone to go by. Sigh. Glad they have such good service though. I even sent all...

    Need Prayer

    Folks I need your prayers. I have battled with insomnia for years and it's becoming a major issue in my life again to the point of major health issues. I don't need all the ideas to go to sleep, thanks. This is way past that. I've tried them all anyways, believe me. It's driving my BP to...

    This mornings short hunt

    Found this nice little brass bell with the E-Trac this morning. It was 8" down and under some roots from an oak tree. Rang up close to a dime signal and before digging it we also checked the signal with an AT-Pro and a V3I. We all got diggable signals. Always fun to see how different machines...

    TTF rings a bell!

    Found this nice little brass bell today in a new spot we're working. It was 8" down under some roots from an old oak. Not the easiest dig but worth it! It's on the fringe of an old dump area near an old house location on the edge of an old rail bed. Tons of old sheet metal, nails and broken up...

    Apologies to a forum member

    I guess I should apologize to another forum member "smeeks". When we went hunting Sunday I loaned him my new 8 x 5 DD coil for his AT-Pro. I just kept hearing "Man, I LOVE this coil" all day. Then the occasional "This thing is HOT on quarters" and "I think it's even deeper then my stock coil"...

    First hunt with the Stealth X-5

    I like it! First spot was in a very trashy and old park in a spot that I had previously hunted with my AT-Pro and the E-Trac with the stock coil. Cranked the manual sens up to 28 and hit targets in the trash I'd missed before. All modern coinage from the 70's but it's showing what it can do...

    Prayers for family

    Well, besides the situation with my Mom which is slowly playing out now that I'm getting in the face of some doctors who besides actually paying a little more attention to what they are doing and are avoiding me like the plague. We just got word that my wife's father probably just had his final...

    Finally!

    Here in inland central FL finding silver isn't an easy thing. 100 years ago the population was sparse and not exactly flush with coins. It's also been hunted by locals and snowbirds since the invention of the hobby. So this weekend out with a hunting buddy I finally hit a payoff. He had just...
