    Why is the 9" conentric LF coil hard to get

    Does anybody know why these are backordered and hard to get?

    Large coil or small coil...

    Very interesting how a lot of metal detectorists want large coils for deeper finds and yet there are also a lot of us who seem to think smaller for better seperation is the way to go. I know a lot of it depends on where you are going to hunt but just intrigued by the relationship of going small...

    What advantage does the 6" DD coil have...

    What advantage, besides being waterproof, does the 6" DD HF coil offer over the 5x10 HF DD elliptical coil? I have the 5x10 gold pack coil so would there be any advantage.

    FS: Minelab Etrac

    Purchased new from Rich at Backwoods Detectors in September 2011. Has all normal accessories except for the Koss headphones, I don't have them anymore. Etrac has a protective anti-glare film cover over the screen, has the rain cover for the control box and the battery cover, as well as a cuffer...

    For those who own both ...

    For those who own both a Xterra and Etrac, which do you use the most. A very informed forum member stated he uses his Xterra for fields and playground type areas and the Etrac for smaller areas. My hunting is usually in larger field areas so I tend to you my Xterra more also. I don't feel I'm...

    Xterra shaft

    Put the 10.5" MF DD coil on my Xterra and noticed it feels nose heavy. I know Morelic and Digger both use straight shaft configurations and am contemplating doing that also. I know it must be a balance issue because Morelic did a weight comparison and it's not that much difference and Digger...

    coil

    Just got my new 10.5" MF DD coil from Rich at Backwoods Detectors. Fast service. Now if the rain would only stop.

    Bound to happen

    Just got back from a short hunt and encountered a new detectorist that got his first machine for Christmas. He was refilling his holes, just not taking care with how. He was in a grass area and just pushing the dirt back in when he was done. Luckily he was appreciative of learning the correct...

    WTB used Xterra concentric coil

    If you have a 9" Xterra concentric coil laying around collecting dust that's in good condition and might be interested in selling at a good price, pm me.

    Skill vs luck

    Want to start this a seperate post instead of hi-jacking a previous post, which I wish more people would do by the way. Anyway there's a queestion of how much skill vs. how much luck is involved. My take is including learning and knowing your machine, plus researching an area, my guess would be...

    Ferrous and/or conductive

    Help me understand this. Been reading a lot how some users don't pay attention to the ferrous numbers so much, just the conductive numbers. I thought that one of the Etrac strengths was having both numbers and that its platform was based on the 12 ferrous line. If you're not using ferrous...

    Just had a fun non-eventual hunt

    As I await the delivery of the used Tejon I ordered from Rich at Backwoods Detectors, figured today because the temps are unusually mild for Jan., I'd go out with the silver umax I bought for my wife. My arm and shoulder were bothering me from swinging the Etrac all day yesterday, so figured...

    Ok, I ordered it, so ....

    Been debating over detectors for a backup to my Etrac that would be light in weight and "fun" to use. Almost went with the Xterra 705 because I had one before and do think it's a great machine but always wanted to try a beep-and-dig machine. In this line I was really torn between the Vaquero and...

    How many went back to the Xterra

    How many Xterra users tried different machines and ended up going back to the Xterra and what machines and why? I've had a Xterra 705 and now have the Etrac but the weight of the Etrac makes my hunts shorter or I pay for it big time the next day. Now I'm considering selling it and buying another...

    Which mode do you use the most

    TTF, conductive multi tone, conductive 2 or4 tone, 4 tone ferrous. See a lot use TTF and a lot use multi tone conductive, just figured I'd do a post to see what you use.

    How many use their stock coil

    Just curious, see many vids where the stock coil is replaced with a non-stock coil. How many still use the stock coil as their main search coil and if not, which do you use and why?

    relic hunting settings

    Do you dig it all when relic hunting since even iron could be a good target?

    Who sold their hi-priced machines

    How many of you sold your V3I's or Etracs or F75's to go back to the beep and dig simplicity and are you happy with your choice?

    Vaquero or Tejon

    For you Tesoro users that have had both, which do you prefer and why? These are the 2 I'm considering due to being able to ground balance. I am mostly a coin/jewelry hunter in Pa.. I think I'd prefer the Tejon for the dual discrimination and trigger functions but have heard it's noisier than the...

    nickels

    Does any one else get some weird actual nickel readings? I know target proximity, ground mineralization, depth and corrosion are factors but I've been getting some nickels with digital readings of 12, 13, 14 ferrous and 18 - 24 conductive where nothing else shows after recovering the nickel. I'm...
