    maiden hunt with new Etrac - only 20 minutes, scored a coin though!

    Well my new Etrac from Bart at Big Boy Hobbies didn't get to my house til almost 8pm thanks to UPS making me one of their last stops of the day! I just ordered it late Monday afternoon so I was pleasantly surprised it even got here tonight. Thanks to Bart for boxing it up so quickly and...

    Disc'd coins in stock coin program?

    I thought I read or saw a video that an Etrac used said you are disc'ing some silver coins if you use the stock coin program? Which coins are these and what area of the pattern needs to be opened up to avoid disc'ing them out?

    New Etrac on the way

    Ordered my Etrac from Bart yesterday. It should be here tomorrow. I can't wait! I'm hoping it lives up to all the hype! I prefer to swing slow so I think the Etrac and I will get along great. Plan on hitting some previously hunted sites that I've gone over before with the Ace 250 and DFX.

    WTB - Etrac (or possible trade)

    I'm interested in adding an Etrac. I'm looking for a clean, gently used one. Preferably with screen cover and coil cover. As well as original box. PM me what you have and what you're looking to get out of it. Thanks.

    Etrac vs SE Pro

    I've heard the only difference between an Etrac and an SE Pro is that the Etrac can be hooked to a computer. Is that really the only difference?? Aren't they both FBS from 1-100kHz? Both use 11" Pro coil. Can you use TTF with SE Pro? Does anyone know if the SE Pro gets as deep as its big brother??

    Upgrading to Etrac from DFX?

    Have any of you guys (gals) switched from a Whites DFX to an Etrac? What kind of differences did you notice? Did you pull anything from previously hunted sites? I'm in the process of getting some pricing on an Etrac and will hopefully add one by the end of the week. I'm very impressed with the...

    1890's park banning MDing - joining National Registry

    This park is where I hunt 95% of the time. A buddy told me he was told today by one of the park officers. They said we only have 2 months left. Supposedly it's going to be listed on the National Registry and that is one of the stipulations. I wanted to vomit when he told me that. It's a huge...

    Etrac's ability to separate

    I've seen a lot of videos of users finding coins in the same hole as a nail. Do many users find coins in the same hole as a pulltab? I come across more pulltabs in the parks I hunt than I do iron nails. My DFX really struggles at separating them even in air tests. I don't disc the pulltab range...

    Silver numbers on an Etrac

    I don't have an Etrac but I'm always in the market for a gently used one. I was wondering though how silver shows up on the machine. I know it gives that nice flutey to e but is that the only way to determine that it may be silver under the ground? Do the numbers give different readout for a...

    Silver for the third day in a row - with Whites DFX

    Figured I'd try a new spot today for the 2.5 hrs I had to hunt. There's a tiny little park in the town next to me that basically consists of a caged basketball court and tennis court, an open field, and a small playground. I've been looking over an 1874 plat map and thought there were 2 old home...

    Silver again today with the Whites DFX

    Only got up to about 35 degrees today with a bit of a breeze. Headed to the park again for a couple hours. Near the same area I found the 1854 Seated dime yesterday. Ended up with a no date wheatie and on my way out got a dime signal at about 5" and out popped a 1944 Mercury dime.

    DFX scores 1854 Seated Dime

    Tried a park I've been to before with some history but just not in a good part of town. One gentleman asked if I was looking for gold and I told him I can't find anything but junk (then got back in my car and left). I just don't like being in that area by myself without having eyes in the back...

    Shaft mounted light

    I wanted to test a few settings on my DFX tonight but it was completely dark outside. I have a bunch of those little 9 LED flashlights that run on 3 AAA batteries. I wrapped the shaft where I planned on mounting the light with a real thin foam that would serve 2 purposes. 1 - keep the light...

    PICTURE compared to stock 12" - My new 8x6 SEF came in

    I knew it was going to be small compared to the stock 12", but this thing is tiny! We'll see how it goes. Hopefully I made the right decision :confused:

    Battery rebuild question

    I plan on rebuilding the rechargeable battery pack for my DFX. It's just not holding a useable charge long enough. Maybe about 4-5 hrs tops. I understand the stock rechargeable pack are 9.6v NiCD batteries. If I use NiMH can I still use the stock charger? I believe I can, it might just take...

    8x6 SEF on its way

    I finally took the plunge and ordered a new coil. I only have the stock 12" coil for my DFX. I've heard great things about the SEFs. I hope I don't regret the smaller SEF that I ordered. I kept going back and forth with the 12x10. If I don't like the 8x6 I guess I'll have to sell it and get the...
