    Best Chain detector out there.

    This spring I will be replacing my old Tesoro Sting Ray water detector. It was a great gold detector and would pick up the smallest finest gold ear rings you can imagine. Only problem is that in the 15 years I owned it I never once found a gold chain with it. I recently found out my Mine Lab...

    Why I like the Quick Mask Program.

    First of let me say my favorite mode of operation with my E-Trac is the Mine Lab factory coin mode with a few modification's. I have been a owner of a E-Trac metal detector a very short time. In fact only since September of 2010, and while I must confess there are many functions on this...

    Excalibur and Gold Chains

    Just found out my E-Trac will not pick up on Gold Cains, and I mean no matter their size or gold content. I have tried it with a wide open screen (no discrimination of any kind) and nothing. Now Gold rings are a completely different story.all the way from the very smallest and finest rings up to...

    Last Metal Detecting Hunt for 2010

    Last Friday before all this gorgeous white stuff moved in we had a sunny 51 degree day. I should have stayed home and put up Christmas ornaments but my son and I decided to sneak in one more detecting day before winter really set in. I had a so - so day with one Silver Mercury dime 1936D, 4...

    Question on signal this past week end.

    The property my son and I are hunting dates to the early teens and so far we have found Wheaties (about 16 found so far in two trips) the earliest dating to 1910. Silver has been kind of scarce, as we have only found three Mercury dimes, and a very small silver heart shaped frat pin. It is a...

    A Happy & Safe Turkey Day to all.

    Oh by the way the rains finally came, but now it's to cold and miserable to get out. Many thanks for all your advise and help. Never met a nicer bunch of guys (& gals ?). Here's hoping you miss Black Friday all together.

    Need some help on which Digital Camera to buy.

    My wife and I are planning on buying a new digital camera, and I would like one that would take really good up close pictures. She bought me a new Cannon digital a couple years ago and it works fine for ever day photo's, but I just can't get good clear up close photo's of my finds. I see you...

    Not to bad a Sunday

    Sorry I don't have a good enough camera to post some pictures, as I would love to show you a little tiny silver heart shaped Frat Pin dated 1956 (measured about 1/4 inch x 1/4 inch) I found at 5 inch's with my E-Trac today. It read FE15/ CO 41-42, and did I ever have a tough time locating it...

    Need help finding information on Illinois Tokens and Campaign buttons.

    I have over the years found numerous campaign buttons and store tokens for Illinois and try as I might I can not find a book to help me Identify them. I purchased my present home in 1991 and have over the years found many business tokens for the same company in my garden. All the tokens were...

    Thanks For All Your Comments And Help

    I want to thank everyone for your comments and help with my 6 week old E-Trac. When I first purchased this machine I felt I might be biting off a little more then I could chew, as I've never owned a detector before that you could program to help find what few good targets that was left out there...

    To Dig Or Not To Dig

    In the past week I read a post on one of the forums about questionable iron readings. It involved getting good quarter or dime audio readings but questionable Fe/Co readings. The poster advised checking the Quick Mask program on these signals. The Quick Mask was run with no discrimination and...

    Sun Ray 5" Search Coils

    I am new to the Finds Forum and the Minelab E-trac, so I would like to apologize for the user name Tippyhound, as I know it has nothing to do with metal detecting. I adopted the Tippyhound user name as my e-mail address a few years back when I lost a Beagle I had given that name some years...

    Problem with E-trac Screen

    I'm new to the Mine lab E-trac and yesterday was my first day using it for more then a few minutes at a time. My wife and I took it to a park I had wanted to try it in because of the trash content. The area we were using it in was in direct sun light. After about 30 minutes in the sun I noticed...

    Double D coil for X-Terra 70

    Recently talked to Sandy at Mine lab about what I could do to improve Target ID on my X-Terra 70 and she suggested getting a Double D coil for it. Anyone know how this will help and is it worth the extra expense?

    I.D. Edge

    I'm a old CZ6 Quicksilver user and am considering a I.D. Edge. How does the Edge compare to the CZ6 for depth and over all performance. My age makes the weight of the Edge very attractive.

    Depth readings on ID Edge, & Coin Strike

    I am considering purchasing either a ID Edge or a Coin Strike. Because I have a serious hearing loose I have problems telling depth by sound, so the depth meter is important to me. How do you know your depth with the numeric 1-99 system? I would also like to know how the two machines compare to...
