    More depth and how to get it :)

    Managed to get in a couple of hours of beach hunting tonight. The targets tonight were all mosty deep. Very few shallow targets to I decided to try a little experimenting. I got a deep quarter signal. The sound was high pitched but somewhat broken up and the display showed 13-46 and the...

    More on Auto vs Manual Sensitivity......long but hopefully worth the read

    I spent the day at the beach with the E-Trac today. No gold but some more information about detector operation. With all the discussion about detector depth, Manual Sensitivity, and Auto Sensitivity I took the E-Trac to a beach with little or no mineralization but with sections that had high...

    Sensitivity Auto vs Manual

    It seems from reading the Posts that Iron targets seem to affect the Auto Sensitivity even more than ground mineralization. Places such as the locations that JimHY hunts that are loaded with rusty iron cause the Auto Sensitivity to go to extremely low levels (down to 4 in one case) requiring...

    Pinpointing with the new coil.......

    I keep thinking of new things to post :) I really like the new 11" coil for many reasons. First it's little lighter than the previous 10" coils by 4oz. Not much but every little bit helps. It moves through the Surf easily and it not easily deflected or moved by the waves. And last but not...

    Tough to teach an old dog new tricks,,,,,,

    As BobNH has posted about it being tough for a lot of us diehard Explorer and especially Ferrous Mode users to deal with the new E-Trac I think I may have come up with a method that will help. When i went out hunting this weekend for the first time on my own with the E-Trac I was expecting to...

    At the risk of disbelief I am back from another Beach Hunt.....

    Ok I don't even believe this myself but I have not hunted 3 different beaches this weekend with the E-Track and found a gold ring at each one. I can't even remember the last time I found 3 gold rings in one weekend let alone 3 gold rings with diamonds. Tonight's beach didn't have nearly as...

    An FE-12 Theory.......

    After spending some quality time with the E-Trac 10 hours and counting I have noticed something interesting that may or may not account for why Minelab chose to make most non-ferrous targets read FE12. I have noticed as have some fo the others of you out there that very deep targets that are...

    Back from 6 hours of E-TRACing the Beaches :)

    Well the more I use it the more I like it. Payed more attention to what the Auto Sensitivity was doing this morning. It tracks the grounds changes really well. This morning my Sensitivity fluctuated between 21 and 27 depending on where I was on the beach. Also this morning I was at a...

    4 hours at the Beach with the E-Trac

    Well this puppy is going to take a little while to find the optimum beach settings but I think it's going to work out fine. Hunted for 4 hours with no fatigue and no numb fingers like I used to get from the old handle angle :) I found out very quickly that this machine does not like being used...

    New $1 Coins

    Well I think they may be doomed to failure :( It seems the Banking Industry for some reason doesn't have to have anything to do with the new $1 coin. I went to my bank (TDBankNorth) to purcahse $20 worth of them as some of you did last week at your own banks. I was told that a Memo had come...

    Number 3 was the charm :)

    Well I finally managed to get to the beach today to take advantage of the minus tides. The first two beaches I looked at did look good at all. A lot of fresh sand and practically flat. But the third beach was another story. There was a hole in the outer sand bar and the waves had eroded a...

    End of year hunts produce.....

    a few good finds. Had to go out detecting for the last couple times before the year ended and managed to find a spot that had some older targets. Ended the year with a 10K ring with stone(not a diamond) and a 14K wedding ring. Plus two silver rings and a junk toe ring. Beautiful weather and...

    Well the final version of the beach scoop that I have been working on for quite awhile is finally done. Joe DeMarco of DeMarco Detector Sales (a FindMall Sponsor) will be producing and selling the scoops. Here are some pix of the final version of the scoop. [attachment 26644 FinalScoop1.JPG]...

    Prototype SS Beach Scoop

    For the past 6 months I have been working with Joe of DeMarco Detector Sales (a sponsor on the Findmall Forums) in the design of a new Stainless Steel Long Handled Beach Scoop that will work in the water, on the wet sand, and up on the dry section of the beach. As most of you who have been...

    Are the Coils Waterproof?

    I haven't checked the manual yet but have read most everything else about the Exterra 50 so far but no where has it been mentioned whether the coils are waterproof. Since the only detectors in the Minelab line that have waterproof coils so far are the Sovs, Explorer and Quattro I thought I...
