    Patterns and settings

    There is a sticky and Bill S pattern. But I would like to see what some of you guys are using as patterns and your settings, while hunting parks and schools and what are your main goals/targets. Are you after old coins (thats me) and not clad, and maybe jewelry if it gets in the way. I usually...

    jewelry hunting

    Do any of you seriously (your main target,coins second) hunt for jewelry with the ETrac? I know, I know its reputation for higher conductors. I mainly use my ETrac in old parks,old schools and old houses in town, looking for coins and whatever else I stumble on. Oh, this is for dry land/...

    Midsize coil

    I wish we had a midsize coil, 8 inches and double D, to use on the F75. I have enjoyed using 8 inch coils on other machines. HH, John

    2nd outing with F75se

    Finally got time to make a three hour hunt yesterday at an old spot that has a modern house on top of an antebellum era house. Really beautiful place with lots of huge old trees. A 1905 or 08 Indian was best find, but in terrible shape. Found lots of bottle caps, aluminum pieces, pull tabs...

    Park hunts and old homes with modern trash

    Any of you F75LTD users hunt these areas with your LTD???? I still have an ETrac but I have to admit, the light weight of the LTD is gonna spoil me. I already know its my relic machine for old home spots and fields. If you do, would you share some of your settings please. Only used mine for...

    F75LTD, relic hunting/hunters could you

    share with me how you like to set your machine up to hunt relics. My ground here is pretty tame. Just like you, tons of old iron underneath the ground. Just would like to know all of your settings, number of tones ,which mode and maybe when you like to switch modes/settings. Also, if EMI...

    XL Pro, very nice condition, trade for

    I have a real nice XLPro with the 5inch,8inch and 9.5inch coils. I am looking for a F75LTD with both coils. Of course I know there is a price difference. I had this machine up for sale back about Christmas last year but backed out. Just hard to let go of it, but I never use it anymore. Thanks...

    Have any of you come from

    an ETrac to a F75LTD/SE or vice versa. Or maybe you have both thinking one compliments the other. For a while I struggled with the ETrac, but Ive started enjoying it more and more;except, when Im out in the corn,soybean fields on top of of an old home/plantation site with tons of nail and...

    Of the current offering from the manufactors, what is

    or what detector has worked best for you in an area loaded with old iron and nails?? Also what is your strategy for working such a site?? Especially if its many acres. Reason I ask, Ive run across an old town site, ghost town now, with a few locals living in the area. The older residents tell...

    conductive/ferrous

    Do any of you guys use the conductive in old house sites or in the fields where homes once stood??? I am aware many of you use TTF. Just curious if anyone is using conductive and if so would you tell me a bit about your setup, pattern etc. Thanks, John

    How do you...

    or can you? move a saved edited pattern to your user mode? Ive searched and read a great deal but cant seem to find it. Just got this E-Trac yesterday and toying with it at the moment. I will use the factory coin pattern while learning out in the field, but just playing with it for now trying...

    What influenced you to purchase an E-Trac?

    All the beautiful old coins you see posted on this site? Certainly has gotten my attention all these years. My take... I have hunted a lot of older spots around me and found some silver with my machines. I know of no one around me that metal detects, so Im fairly by myself as far as anyone to...

    Target hits

    As I watch vids of the E-Trac in use, and I see someone swinging the coil and get a good response, and they go back over the target a couple more times (of course this is on a vid and Ive never been around an E_Trac and Im sure Im missing it somehow) it seems or sounds to me, that the response...

    Another E-Trac on its way

    Well, Ive fought this, I think for about two years. I even bought Andys book a couple years back and have read thru it several times. Got the best of me, Ive got one coming, thanks Bart for your help. OK, I also ordered the X8 Sunray coil and I see most of you use the 8X6 SEF but after reading...
