    Help needed with Detacc signal enhancer

    Hi All. I'm hoping somebody can refresh my memory on how the DETacc signal enhancer is supposed to connect to my GP3000. I took it off a while ago and now can't remember for sure how to attach. My recollection is that the signal enhancer short cable plugs into the battery connector slot on...

    Unexpected Silver?

    Went back to the spot where I found the gold ring and Good for Token. Working through the trash- lots of iron at this location. Got a 12/39 signal and down about 3-4" I found this Silver thimble. It is in perfect shape with no pinholes etc. It is marked with the owners name "Lillian" and the...

    No Silver --- But ---> Got Gold

    Went back to the place I found the Good For 50 In Trade token for a few hours today. Working on griding the area and was hoping for some silver. Lots of square nails at this location so I know there has to be something good there. It's real trashy with some big iron also. Working my second...

    Good For 50 In Trade

    Hit a different park today. Worked the grassy turf for a while and found 10 clad for 37 cents. Now I'm thinking I'm going to pay this machine of a penny at a time. I regrouped and hit a different part of the park the "doggy area" . No grass down there I thought so maybe I'll get a little...

    Auto Sens Level Running Real Low?

    Did a 2 hour hunt today using Combine and Ground-Coin and Auto +3. The green recommended sensitivity levels were running all the way down to 4-10. Auto +3 was setting sens at 10-17. I guess this means extremely high ground mineralization? Anyone else experience these low Auto Sens...

    First CTX Hunt Gets Some Clad

    Hi All Well the CTX arrived a day ahead of schedule and got my first hunt in. Assembly was no problem. Went to a local park that I'm sure has been hit hard and dates at least to the 40's. I only had about two hours to hunt so I selected the stock silver program and modified with Ferrous-coin...

    Large Silver Ring

    Went back to the local swimming area for a water hunt on Saturday. Working a part that I didn't get to last weekend. Decided to hunt a little deeper than last weekend (waist deep). So this was the first real hunt with the control box completely submerged. No problems with the machine below...

    Stainless and silver

    Went back to the water hole today. Decreased the sens to level 6 and ground balanced often. Seemed to smooth things out a bit. Dug a few borderline targets (screw tops) to get a better feel for the iron audio. Overall trash count was low and found more coins. Tiny silver ring rang out...

    First Water Hunt ATG Strikes Gold

    Got into the shallow water with the ATG yesterday and things got off to a fast start. After an auto ground balance (running ~83) I got my first target in the ankle biter water with a nickel. Lots of iron trash and mineralization giving a lot of chatter. Ten feet away another borderline iffy...

    Finally got an ATG

    Hi All We'll after much procrastinating I finally got an AT gold. Read lots of good stuff on the machine and thought what the heck. Waterproof and simple to run were some of the main features I liked. I'm a water hunter and a gold nugget hunter so it seemed like the perfect machine. Went...

    Excall is a little sick

    Hi All My poor excall has finally gotten a little sick. Currently have a short in the headphone cable near the control housing. I taped it in place and the falsing is mostly gone but this is not a permanent fix. This machine is an older model with the 10" coil (probably over 10 years --I...

    Minelab Excalibur ikelite headphone connector mod

    Hi all Just wondering if anyone has done this mod for the headphones? Seems like I heard that you can put a two pin ikelite connector in place of the hardwired headphone connection. Presently I have developed a short in the headphone cable near where it connects with the control housing...

    Thinking about getting an E-Trac

    Hi All I've been thinking about getting an E-Trac for a while now. Just wondering about recovery time false iron signals etc. I recently acquired (my brothers old machine = loaner) a Quattro and have found it difficult to separate the good from the bad. I did a test yesterday at a house lot...

    A few coins a ring and GB question

    Hi All A few recent finds from an old house lot. Nothing earth shattering but the 1900 v is cool the penny is 44S. I'm hoping some silver will pop out but not yet. I've been using the 6x10 DD but feel its depth is limited to probably the 6-7" range. I tried the 950 yesterday and couldn't...
