    Coming back to Whites

    I totally agree with you, I sent my 25-30 y.o. Whites in for service last spring and got it back ( I think better due to better test equipment ) than when it was built. No where else can you send in a 30 or more y.o. detector and get repaired or serviced. Most of the old company's are not even...

    Coming back to Whites

    I agree, a bunch of targets fall in that 80% good targets FE12 line. My friend / co-worker was at work this week talking about metal detecting and how many years we set the discrimination to just above nickels so we would miss the pull tabs and how much of the "goodies" we missed, we did that in...

    Coming back to Whites

    I've used Whites since early 80 or 81 and always loved the detectors, I fell like I'm missing some thing with my Etrac so its on ebay right now. As soon as it sells I'm ordering a V3i that was tied with the E as my other choice ordered it. I still like the E very much and have no question about...

    104 coins in 5 hours

    Went back to the old pool that was filled in, hunted there for a little over 3 hours digging 39 then moved to another local site that give up 65 in around 1 1/2hrs. The really good part was I was near Broadcast Antenna's and the E-Trac never even glitched. I was using the 8x6" SEF most of the...

    How many of you open up the top right in coin pattern?

    I seen where it was missing some of the large silver because the upper right screen (stock)coin pattern was discriminated out. Hoe many of you open it up? Thanks! Rick

    03/13/11 Hunt with Silver, Wheats, and Rings!

    Since the days are getting warmer I got out today for some hunting. I wanted to check out a site that would have been great but when I got there it was now a housing development. So we headed back to the area I got the Standing Liberty Quarter. I started the hunt with the 11" Pro coil and after...

    Guess I should have spent 200 bucks for a 10 y.o. used machine rather than my E-Trac :rolleyes:

    I think not, but this post makes interesting reading and will keep you amused. http://www.findmall.com/read.php?35,1404494 (quote using my "new" old 1265 in a base ballfield i have covered with the etrac last fall.) does better than a modern detector( E-Trac). I'm not kicking old detectors as...

    1st Hunt with the New E-trac but I got skunked! :blink:

    We finally got nice weather with temps at 60 deg F, so we loaded up the car and headed out for a hunt. We hit a local school tot lot that had been closed for near 28 yrs. It had turned up good coins but little silver but a few wheat's. I dug some clad coins and getting used to the new machine...
