    Well ET finally bit the dust:cry:

    Been having issues with ET and was hoping to make it until the winter sets in before I send her in. Not gonna happen. Already I have had the machine turn itself on, again and again, if I bump something. Also did a over voltage shut down on me while I was detecting with the rechargeables in it...

    Bottle info please -Picnic flask???

    Found this one a while back and was wondering if it is a picnic flask? Wine or whiskey? Country of origin? And value if any? The front says VINOL, the bottom says private mould, patented April 19, 1898. Thanks!

    Took the DFX out before it divorces me!!

    Been using the E Trac so much that the DFX was getting lonely, and a little bit ticked off. So I took it out to a field some friends had permission to do. It was easy digging and relaxing! Managed 2 coppers that I thought were a Large Cent and a British copper. But after cleaning them it all...

    Saturday's Hunt - E Trac country!!

    I have had three separate glitches happen to me on Saturday's hunt! First the machine would turn itself on again (and do it's little song) when I bumped a root or rock. Doesn't have to be a hard hit. Then in the middle of hunting, it did a excessive voltage, auto shut down. I was hunting with...

    2 hours with ET

    Had two hours to detect before dark, so I went to my favorite spot. Not a lot there, but did get some keepers. Trash is everywhere and I picked though it pretty well. The E trac seems to do well in trash. Still nothing over 5-6" in depth. Didn't think I found silver until I got home and found...

    Need everyone's help PLEASE!

    I'm trying to nail down this bad machine / good machine thing. I'm thinking it is a mineralization problem and maybe not a bad machine problem (although some units seem defective due to low air tests scores). If anyone could try this scenario and post their finds, I think it would give us lots...

    Why I'm KEEPING my E TRAC

    I bought the Etrac because I guessed it was the newest version of the SE. I gambled and lost that bet! I was mad at myself for not having the cash at the time to get the discounted SE pros that were being offered. When the E trac hit I had to jump. I have been studying all the posts here and...

    Today's E trac Hunt ( #4)

    Before and after pictures of today's hunt. Was able to get out for about 4 hours with a friend, and this is my haul. All of the finds were at a mineralised (basalt - trap rock) area. Three of us have hunted it to death (large area) with DFX's. The E Trac definitely has better control of the trap...

    Here's three trips out with the E TRAC

    Here are my first three trips with the E Trac. They look promising and were successful. But Honestly I thought I was buying a beefed up explorer and I was focusing on the DEEP silver. I have yet to get it to go deeper than 6" in the conditions I have encountered. I know it's probably operator...

    Went Colonial Detecting on Saturday

    Kind of a good day/bad day. Me and Dan went out early and found some new sites!! Got to the first site and BAM, 1814 Large Cent in great condition! We thought we are going to have a field day!! Not much else. Who ever hit this site did a great job, except for this coin. But then my luck turned...

    Thursday's hunt - Silver again

    Went out Thursday for my usual marathon hunt - 12 hours. A bit sore after swinging that 9 1/2" coil!!! It started out slow and then found the 1959 D Silver Roosevelt. I was a bit disappointed. This place rarely has Roosevelt's (except clads). But soon after found the 1905 and 1912D barbers...

    Two Saturdays hunts

    Had a great two Saturdays hunting. First 2 pictures are of the first Saturday, the last ones are from this Saturday's hunt. Total 20 hours hunting time, but it payed off well. This park has been great to me over the years and still can turn up some surprises, as in the out of character colonial...

    Slim Pickins

    Went out Wednesday and Saturday and found some pretty toxic coins. The mineralization ate them bad, most have no dates. Check out the last Wheaty (looks like a zincette). Did get a decent 1909 cent (don't ask - no S VDB).:thumbdown: A colonial coin with no image visible. My buddies found Wheats...

    Wednesday's Hunt

    Can't go out this Saturday as usual, so I took off Wednesday instead. Hit the same old park that I've done good for years at and managed to find these. Got a solid penny reading, but a kinda iffy sound, so I bent down to dig it and just as my shovel was about to hit the ground, I noticed the...

    My Usual Saturday Hunt

    Didn't find all the gold we were looking for.:rofl: but we did exhaust ourselves after a 90 degree plus day:rant: 1st picture is from some colonial sites, not all of it colonial though. The pickins were slim, and the dry dirt didn't help our depth any. It's always better with moist ground! The...

    Saturday's Hunt - Buttons galore!

    Went out Saturday with a couple of friends. Only one coin surfaced, an 1827? Large cent, Chris found. The rest were mostly buttons, at least for me anyways. 26 buttons. These sites were hit very hard, and it seems all that person was after, was the coins!!! A thorough job of it. Coins here are...
