    Weird noise on E-trac when coin gets farther from coil

    Hey guys, I noticed something while out detecting the other day and decided today that I would just wave a quarter in front of the E-trac. I noticed that once it got past a certain point it would still give a signal, but there was also another sound mixed in with it that sounded kinda like a...

    Decent day for wheats and some indians

    Sorry for no pictures, but today a friend and I went to an older abandoned house. Prior to this hunt i have only found 1 indian head since starting detecting and that was crusted beyond repair. In total today I found about 11 wheat pennies there, earliest of them being 1916, 1913, and 1911...and...

SLAIGHT Patent OCT 14-51 Newark NJ on doing research i know its a padlock from the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, but my issue is that I only found one example online that looks like mine, but the guy...

    Going to be a Tesoro Owner again...Compadre!

    Hey guys! It's been awhile since I posted in here. As some of you may know I ended up parting ways with my V and got an E-trac a while back. I am definitely pleased with how things have turned out when hunting older sites and larger parks for the deeper silver, but one place the E-trac doesn't...

    Original whites surfmaster, blue and white version

    I know this is a vintage water detector, but is it still any good for someone who wants to start freshwater hunting?

    Looking for Coin holder album

    I was just wondering if anyone has a Coin album. My collection is kinda scattered at the moment and I would like a book type album to hold my coins in. I'm kinda scrapped for cash right now, but if anyone has one cheap or one they are not using, please let me know. Thanks

    Finally something not silver plated...Silver Spoon!

    Well no silver coins for me today, but I can't say I got skunked. Took the E-trac back to my dads house today where I have been very successful. Found two wheats, 1944 and a 1916S and finally a Sterling Silver piece of flatware. I have dug a few forks and spoons throughout the years, but they...

    For Trade: Used Whites Eagle Spectrum

    Hey guys, I have up for trade an older used Whites. It's an Eagle Spectrum. I am not the original owner, so its condition was previous to me owning it. It still works fine which is the most desired aspect. Its cosmetic flaws are due to its age. For instance, the arm pad has worn down in spots...

    Whites eagle spectrum on the beach

    I brought my whites eagle spectrum to ocean city md and got to use it this morning on the dry sand. I found a lot of clad, but I was getting quite a few false signals and I'm not sure if the depth was all that great. I didn't find anything more than like 5 or 6" down. Does anyone know a good way...

    Going to Ocean City MD soon

    I go there every year with the family, but didn't think it was going to happen this time around. Was surprised to hear that we are from July 16th to the 20th. I'm going to take my Whites Eagle Spectrum and see what happens. Anyone else going to be around during that time? And any jewelry hotspots?

    Quiet surface signals?

    I know this sounds weird, but when I was out detecting today I noticed 2 or 3 different times I would get some signals that were pretty quiet but seemed repeatable and the depth meter said they were right on the surface...i didnt bother to dig because I know a coin wouldnt of done that, but was...

    E-trac got me more goodies!

    I posted this in todays finds as well. So yesterday I found the seated dime and was going to take a break today. Well my buddy wanted to take me to a spot today where an old picnic area used to be in the early 1900's. Him and his dad have been there before and found a lot of good stuff, so I...

    I've found 1700's, Plenty of 1900's...Finally an 1800's coin! Seated Dime :)

    So I've been detecting for quite some time, but never got really serious until a few years ago. I have found my fair share of 1900's coins and even a 1700's coin, but for the longest time have not been able to find a 1800's coin. Well I got an E-trac just a couple weeks ago and finally the spell...

I looked it up and it was made by the Carl-Art company. They were created in the 30's. Cant complain, its silver. also found a couple...

    Falsing on twigs/weeds/tall grass

    Hello guys. I went out with the etrac today to a spot where a buddy of mine invited me too. It's an old path that has proved to be a potential hotspot because of finds he's had. Since the path is really old there were a lot of branches and grown weeds that were interrupting my swings at times...

    TTF question

    So I went back to the spot yesterday where I have found 5 or 6 silvers in the past and decided I would give the TTF pattern a try. I had it set up how goes4ever does it. It definitely seemed to worked well as I pulled out 3 more wheat pennies and a 1963 Rosie. My question is that there was this...

    Finally took the Etrac out today for first hunt...quick question

    Hey guys, so I took the new to me Etrac out for its first hunt(s) today. I went to two different places that I've hunted extensively and are really trashy. Managed to find a 1942 Merc at one and what looks to be a 1916 wheatie at the other. When using it and first turning it on i noticed the guy...

    Richard at Backwoods Detectors is the man!

    Just received a used E-trac from Richard at BackwoodsDetectors. I traded in a detector plus cash to make the deal happen and I was previously trying for months to find someone who would take a trade-in. Richard had the used E-trac in stock and made me the deal and here we are now, with no issues...
