    First silver

    I have been metal detecting now for over a year. I am retired, so I hunt several hours a day 3-4 days a week. The town I live in was started in the 1880's. It has been very heavily detected. I have found several thousand clad coins, some rings, etc. I have found around ten wheat pennies, but...

    Bright Sunshine and Etrac

    I went to an old school yard yesterday. The sun was really bright and I could hardly read the screen. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what do you do?

    What reading do you get for a walking liberty half dollar?

    I was checking my E-track with a walking liberty half dollar and got a reading of 1-46. I found this quite revealing because the stock coin program has 1-46 discriminated out.

    What coil would you recommend for a tot lot?

    From time to time I like to hunt tot lots. My Etrac with it's stock coil won't let me get within 2 to 3 feet of the metal poles even if I turn the sensitivity to a minus 3 in auto. What would you suggest?

    Help with Normal and Sizing mode

    I have read and re-read the E-trac instruction manual, and also Andy Sabisch's book on the E-trac about normal and sizing mode. I have tried both out in my coin garden, and really can't tell much difference in them. It would be very helpful to use the sizing mode to tell the difference between...

    Help at the Ranch

    I took my E-trac out to an old deserted ranch house. I used the stock coin mode. There is so much iron nails, bolts, etc. in the ground that 90% of the time the detector was in null. Do you think the null was hiding good signals? What program would you suggest I run?

    Any good videos on the E-TRAC?

    Looking on U-Tube I found a good series of videos put out by the Whites Co. on the Whites Spectra V3i which did a good job explaining how the settings worked. When I looked for the E-TRAC I found lots of very low quality videos, some were in a foreign language, but none that I found very...

    What happened to the F-5?

    I have an ACE 250 and am ready to move up to a better detector. In looking at detectors the F5 looks pretty good to me, but I notice on this forum the F5 doesn't get much notice. Why is that?

    Are 1940's bottles worth anything?

    I have found a place full of 1940's bottles. They range from coke bottles, beer bottles, ink wells, lotion bottles, and lots of other kinds. Most of them are unbroken. Are these old enough to have value?

    Etiquette when detecting

    Today I went to a local beach. It's not large, maybe 15 yards from the sidewalk to the water, and maybe 30 yards long. There was another person metal detecting so I left and went to another part of the park. What's the proper thing to do when another person is detecting in an area you planned...

    Ace 250 needs help with super sniper coil

    I used the 4.5" Ace Super Sniper coil today for the first time with my Ace 250. I used the coin mode with sensitivity at level 4. I got a lot, and I mean a whole lot of false non-repeatable signals. I use the stock 6.5"x9" stock coil on the same setting and get very few non-repeatable...

    What is "Hot ground"?

    I have been learning about my Ace 250 by reading past threads on this forum. I have read about "Hot ground". What is that?

    Inconsistent signal from Ace 250

    This is my first post, and I have just begun to learn how to use my Ace 250. Something I don't understand is the inconsistent signals I get. I pass the coil over a spot and get a signal. I then repeatedly pass the coil over the same spot and get no signal. The sensitivity setting is at the...
