    Etrac with Sunray X1 Probe

    Smart move! If you change your mind again and want to sell it, please contact me... I am looking for a backup E-Trac for mine.

    Confronted while detecting

    Ha Had this same thing happen to me and a friend in a public park... but the officer was not so nice. When she got within 10 yards of me, she told me to "Drop the shovel" and reached for her weapon! Not sure what someone told her, but no matter what I said, she wasn't having any of it. So we...

    My 2020 Year End Totals

    You had a great year, once again proving the value of research and time investments! I can't even come close to that these days, although I don't go over 100 trips a year like I used to. Here's hoping to see you beat that in 2021!

    #1 Find of 2020 and #1 Bucket Lister of 2021

    Nothin special worth noting this year, but happy with the results. Did get an 1894-O quarter, an 1886 dime and a 1891 V-nickel in the same hole. I haven't found a multiple like that for a few years. 2021 bucket list is same as last year: 1908-S IH cent and/or a 1931-S wheat cent to complete...

    Detecting will be a little tougher for me going forward...

    ...because my DetectorPro Pocket Uniprobe broke yesterday, and in a way that I cannot fix it myself. The company just informed me they no longer repair them because the guy with the knowledge of this device has retired. I've had this probe since 2004, and it has been a great help to me. There...

    Small Coils..

    My opinion is... I have used a number of different small coils over the years, and they all work, but I like the SEF the best so far. Of course, it is very time consuming to effectively cover the ground thoroughly with the small coil. I will work these areas with both the standard coil and a...

    New Etrac guy joining the forum!

    One thing that really is an advantage with the Minelab is how S-L-O-W you can move that coil and pick things out of heavy trash areas. It will take some time to train your ears/brain to listen for the sounds you want to dig, so try to be patient. Years ago I carried a worn silver dime with me...

    How did everyone do for a silver count this season?

    49 silver (2 seated) and 66 IH so far... will most likely be my second lowest annual total for silver... not giving up just yet... there's still a few days left this year!

    Two-tone Ferrous success again - two fat Indians in two weeks!

    Using two-tone ferrous in deep-target sites with heavy, heavy iron forces you to sweep super slow and study every non-ferrous signal carefully. Result is that you end up digging some signals which you might otherwise have decided to pass on. Pulled some teens wheats, an 1894 IH, a couple...

    Confirmed this coin's numbers

    After 9 months, finally found a Fat Indian with my ETrac. I ran some of my Fat Indians and Flying Eagles under the ETrac coil when I first got the machine. Had trouble believing the numbers I was getting - they were so far from the Explorer numbers for this coin type. This weekend I had a...

    One good thing 'bout all this snow...

    ...and that is - when it melts, everything underneath it will be nice and flat! Just don't like the waiting part. Time to expand the research for 2010 spots! Happy Holidays!

    You guys just about have me convinced...

    I have been considering buying an E-Trac, but my SE has been performing so well, I want to make sure it's worth the $ to upgrade. I love deep target ID detecting, and enjoy pulling those deep coins around, in-between and under other targets (most areas around me have been hunted heavily, so all...
