    quick question on coils - please read ASAP!!

    Does the 15" WOT work on the Etrac and Explorer? I was looking at buying a used one. Also, this one has only the one crossmember down the middle of the coil from the front to the back. Doesn't the Etrac WOT coil have more of the spider looking crossmembers??

    Beautiful 1894O Barber half!

    VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVJIzEiL_sY I returned to the vacant 1860 farmhouse that I have permission to hunt. The last time there I got the 1886 era counterfeit Morgan dollar, 1852 LC, and some other cool goodies. I only had about an hour or so to hunt this time and only managed to...

    Found my first Morgan Dollar :sick:

    VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A-6lmJh-U0 ....but, it's counterfeit. I dug it at my old 1860 farmhouse. I know it's era due to the depth and condition it came out in. I'm planning on taking it to a coin dealer to see if they can tell me anything else about it. I so bad want to dig...

    My first Morgan Dollar - but heartbreaking

    VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A-6lmJh-U0 I spent about 2 hours at my old vacant 1860 farmhouse that I have permission to hunt. First target was a '65 Memorial, then a really nice skeleton key. Then I got an 11-42 maybe 7". When it came up I noticed how big it was and thought "what the...

    my first SLQ - LIVE DIG and a date

    VIDEO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQLHmBYpuWM I decided to hit a section of the park where I'd gotten a few silver dimes this season. Another gentleman had been working the area in the spring but since I got the silver dimes I figured maybe he'd missed more. I had a decent quarter signal on...

    My very first TRIFECTA!

    VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxIKbUd4-Q8 I've been at this metal detecting thing for about 3 years with almost a 1 year hiatus in there too. I wasn't sure if I'd ever be able to get a trifecta and hadn't really made it a goal of mine to do so. I just like getting out in the fresh air...

    Back to the Silver field - more goodies and broke my digger :(

    VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWLxrhz6N6s Decided to go back to a section of the park where my friend thought the bathing beach once was based on a postcard from 1911. We tried the spot a few weeks ago but didn't come up with anything but a few wheats. This time I moved down about 200...

    Permission question

    For you guys that hunt primarily private property and farms what do you say when someone doesn't want you to hunt it because they are afraid you might get hurt? They don't want the liability. I asked a gentleman today who owns a vacant 1926 home if I could detect it. I believe there was a...

    Thank you Etrac!! My best silver day yet!

    VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29zE600wxq4 I've been hunting a section of the old park the last several hunts and have been killing it on silver. I think this place is my first honey hole. I'm not sure why this section hasn't been hunted like the other areas of this park but I'm not...

    Nice short hunt in the old park

    Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMamaRqq5DA Sorry, I forgot to get pics with my phone and the ones from my video camera are too large to upload here. Went back to my new spot in the old park and scored silver, a buffalo, a giant thug ring. I don't think this place has been detected too...

    Unexpected silver from the old park!

    VIDEO http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZQ8Pv9qPVyznJDNn0nWkZA/videos I've been working a new-to-me section of the old park the last few hours out. Found at least a dozen wheat pennies so far and a couple silvers the last time I was there. This time I only had about an hour and a half again...

    VIDEO - Woods hunt & Great new spot in the old park! Short hunt with Etrac nets silver.

    VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEZ14ADycWk I have driven past this area 1000 times over the years but never swung the coil over it or even walked on it. I only had about 1.5 hrs to hunt so I had to stay close to home and decided what the heck, might has well check it out. I'm not sure...

    Thoughts on 15" WOT coil?

    Never thought about increasing coil size but maybe going to the 15" would be beneficial?? I just have the stock 11" ProCoil and 8x6 SEF, both of which I really like. I'm just wondering if the extra few inches on the 15" would get me a little more depth. I can cover a little more ground...

    More Etrac SILVER from the old "hunted out" park - with VIDEO

    Headed back to an area where I spent several hours over a few hunts and scored 23 wheats to 1 silver :( It's terribly trashy but I ran a fairly open screen, conductive tones and just swung slow with the stock 11" ProCoil. Hit it again yesterday only for a couple hours and really improved my...

    Another BIG SILVER and LIVE DIG - hunting 1883 homesite

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjj797BQ6Vo&feature=youtu.be I got permission to hunt an 1883 homesite this past Friday. Found my second ever big silver (my first was the Friday before). The house is up for sale and pretty well empty of belongings but I happened to catch the owners getting into...

    Control box covers for Etrac?

    I'd like to get a cover for the control box on my Etrac but I'm not sure which is the best one to get. Sunray's looks pretty good and it's only about $17. Are there any others that someone might recommend?

    Return to 1860 farm house - BIG SILVER and many firsts! With VIDEO and FULL DIGS

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clASpv6dxIg I went back to the vacant 1860 farm house I have permission to hunt. This was probably the best day I've had so far. Started with just a '66 quarter but then things started coming together. I've already got several silvers from this property including...

    Finally got to use my new 8x6 SEF

    Well I ordered it June 7th and it got here on Monday I think. Anyways, I put it on the Etrac and headed to an area I've avoided due to the trash. It's a picnic area at the park. I hit the area about 3 years ago with my BH Tracker IV and got 2 silver Rosie's. tried my Ace 250 the following year...

    "Hunted out" park gives up 4 more silvers to the Etrac

    I went back to a small section that I was working one day last week. I had pulled 2 silvers from there at that point. Today, the first target I dug was a 1920 Merc. I ended up getting 6 more wheats (in addition to the 11 I got last week). I also pulled 2 Washington's ('44 & '46) and a '57...
