    Considering Deus2

    Posted previously that I have an Etrac and am satisfied with it but a few factors have me seriously looking at the Deus. 1. Weight. A hard life in agriculture has left me with back, hip and shoulder problems. Tried swingy thingy but too cumbersome. 2. Depth. With the 8x6 SEF coil I feel...

    Minelab Etrac vs others?

    Owned an etrac since I believe 2012. It has exceeded my expectations since it’s unboxing. I hunt almost exclusively old farm sites that are absolutely infested with iron in all shapes and sizes. Hunting in two tone ferrous with a small sef 8x6 coil has produced more finds while retaining my...

    Rifle ID

    I could be wrong but I think it is a Winchester model 1885 single shot rifle receiver.

    Rifle ID

    Bucket lister. Have found several toy guns over the years but this carbine action is for real. Man if I could only find the barrel. Lock was a nice parting touch on an old farm site.

    Meteorite?

    IMHO no. Looks like some type of metal. Possibly became vicious in a fire? Where was it found? Only sure way is to cut off a slice of it and look for the telltale signs, or take to an expert(planetary geologist).

    Cleaning found change

    Local bank sent in around $36.00 in mutilated discolored change and the mint sent it back. They knew I collected coins so they just gave it to me because they were going to throw it in trash. Salvaged ten 90% silver coins and used my hydraulic press to straighten out modern change and...

    I'm offended by tearing down history!!!!!!!

    So if we start removing statues and monuments for real or perceived support of past injustices where do we stop? MLK and JFK for infidelity and treatment of women? The Wall of Vietnam Veteran’s monument because of injustices commented against the people’s of Vietnam? If any of you have read...

    Precious Metal in Walls

    What about a pinpointer with a sensitivity setting? Also could check out wall cavities with a borescope/endoscope like are used for sewer pipes. They have ones that you can plug into your cell phone and use an app or more expensive self contained units.

    Best Machine for jewelry on land

    IMHO, there is absolutely no reason with the tremendous ability to fine tune the etrac gold and nickels should be missed. I hunt in TTF and just found two buffalos with no trouble. Both screamed out at 12-12. Actually I find nickels as easily as anything. Obviously you are most of the way...

    Probably been asked 1000 times...

    I hunt in TTF with open screen and 6x8 set coil. Hunt primarily old farmsteads with A LOT of iron and limited amounts of nonferrous junk. Seems to work or me. Like to hear and see it all and two tones at least allows me to keep my sanity in doing this. Also allows for an increased ability to...

    couple of observations

    Still consider myself a newbie with the etrac, but have put about 100 hours on it almost exclusively in ttf with goes4ever settings. The sites that I hunt, which are old homesteads, really became workable after getting the etrac and running in ttf. I often hear people say to ignore meter...

    etrac sensitivity

    Have been out 4 times with my new etrac this spring. Been running in ttf with goes4ever settings with sensitivity at auto +3. Have noticed my sensitity is always at 26 and have never seen it change. Have hunted in 4 different locations all loaded with iron(old farmsteads). Is this normal...

    Belated Introduction & E-trac Settings Inquiry

    Live in north central, North Dakota in the great white north. Have been metal detecting on and off for 34 years. Started at 10 years old in 1978 with a Whites coin master I received for Christmas. Graduated to a Garrett Freedom III CDC in 1989. Found allot of coins with that machine in...

    e-trac to compliment an exterra 70

    Have an exterra 70 with 3khz and 18.75 coils. Hunt primarily old farmsteads which have an abundance of iron. Have the ability to pick up a new etrac with gift cards with no out of pocket cost(can't swing a ctx just too much money). Will the etrac running in ttf be much more effective in the...

    Finally, first silver

    Posted awhile back on not finding silver with my x70. Well, the drought is over. Found an 1876 25 ore silver Norwegian coin. Allot of Norwegian immigrants in my area. Wish I had a digital camera working to take a pic. Maybe in the future. It rang out at 38 on the x70.

    another ground balance ?

    I detect in the midwest, northcentral north dakota to be exact. When manual ground balancing with the 3 khz coil I typically get from 22 to 28. Would a 18.75 coil work better with the higher mineralization? I have the 5x10 and 6" in 18.75. Just curious if they would perform better, or if the...

    Garrett service #1

    Have a Garrett freedom three CDC metal detector with a bad coil. Called and was told to send it in and would have to replace it with a different coil as the one I have is no longer made. Would cost around $80.00 which I felt was fair as the detector and coil are 21 years old. Lo and behold...

    purchasing etrac-relegating x-70 to backup

    Have had an xterra 70 for two years and it has been an excellent detector. However, even with the small 18.75 coil I haven't been able to find much in amongst the iron. Most of my sites are farm fields and pastures where old homesteads, schools and towns used to be. They are loaded with...
