    Coinshooting in Mid-MO

    Hello all! I have not had the opportunity to post in a while; had tech issues with the phone and laptop (both now replaced). I thought I would throw a clip together of two recent hunts. One was at an old picnic grove that is now pretty dense timber. I went with two friends, both with AT-Pro's. I...

    "Hunted Out" Union camp nets keepers

    I finally had the privilege to hunt the most-hunted CW site on private land in my area. Folks have been pounding this dirt since the late 1960's. It was a Union camp for the duration of the war, and there were two skirmishes nearby with Confederate regulars. The land owners are extremly nice...

    Recent hunts net relics and silver

    I have had lots of fun hunting in the cooler weather lately. My buddy and I researched an old homestead and trading post site that dates back to 1816 and was close by in the woods. We spent some time there trying to find some treasures, but there was a lot of old trash. We found so much copper...

    Pounded Parks, Meet the CTX

    Well, the CTX continues to pull stuff from places that I had previously thought were "hunted out." In the latest installment, I managed a trio of silver dimes - Barber, Merc, and Roosevelt - and a 1951-D Washington Quarter. In addition, I found a few cool tokens. One is brass from a cigar shop...

    Cloudy with a chance of coins!

    High cumulus clouds were rolling through the area on Tuesday afternoon providing a little break from the 94-degree sun. I grabbed the CTX to feed some detecting addiction and headed to the site of an old school that had burned in the early 20th century. The site is wide open -- no shade, and I...

    Brief hunt nets keepers!

    I got out Sunday morning for a bit with a friend of mine. Our goal was to search for Civil War relics at the downhill slope of a possible fortification area. The spot is public and has been hunted over the years. Also, there is significant EMI interference in the area. The best sensitivity I...

    Hot weather, cool finds!

    After our town's Independence Day parade, I dropped off the wife and kids for a nap and headed out in the 104-degree heat with the CTX. I met up with a buddy and we hit a block that had recently-demolished 19th Century homes on it. The iron was thick, and the soil was hard-baked clay thanks to...

    CTX strikes more lead, copper, silver, and BIG brass!

    I am really enjoying swinging this machine. I have the User button on the CTX set up to the previous mode, and I have been alternating between a trashy park pattern in 50 tone conductive and the Combine mode with ferrous-coin separation. I will use trashy park unless I start hearing a lot of...

    CTX finds lead, copper, silver, and GOLD!

    I must admit, Minelab's PR campaign and the results posted from testers like Digger and others got me ga-ga over the CTX. I purchased one from a forum sponsor and commenced to hitting over places I have pounded with the E-trac and 3 different coils (8x6 SEF, 11" Pro, Detech Ultimate 13"). I set...

    Three recent hunts with big silver and stubborn roots!

    I have taken advantage of the 80-degree Missouri weather lately by swinging the E-Trac. This time, I tried mostly private land and used the Pro Coil due to the lower trash density. I did hunt a public park with RCDetector one afternoon, where we each scored a silver Mercury dime. I poked...

    Recent Hunts with coins, a button, and misc

    I spent the last three hunts here in Mid-MO digging up a bunch of stuff. One hunt was a public park, the other two were on private land with the owner's permission. The private land residences contained old houses. One had a cabin on it built in the 1870's, and another residence built in the...

    E-Trac in Mid-Missouri with Pro Coil

    I located a plat map of a local park from the 1920's (before the park was a park). The map showed the land was divided into 16 residential lots. I hit the park with the E-Trac using the stock Pro coil and a modified coin pattern. I was rewarded with 5 silvers, a Buffalo nickel, and a ton of...

    Recent hunt from the old baseball field

    Because the weather was so nice at the end of the year, I decided to go pound the old baseball field one last time for the 2011 year. My research indicates that this field was built in the early 1950's and used for baseball until the 1980's. It was filled in some spots, and continues to be used...

    Two Short Hunts in Mid-Missouri

    I made it out for two short hunts before Christmas. I am using the 6x8 SEF coil and a more open version of the stock coin program pattern. The first was an old public park that I thought I had hit pretty well with the Pro coil during my early hours with the E-Trac. I ended up digging one Barber...

    Testing open pattern and 6x8 SEF coil

    Hello E-tracers! I got the 6x8 SEF coil in October and have used it sporadically. Now that I have had the opportunity to hit all the public spots in my hometown once or twice with the Pro coil and a cherry pickin' pattern, I have plugged in the 6x8 and changed to a more open pattern. All of...

    E-Trac Operation in Cold Weather

    Greetings E-Tracers! I have a question regarding the operation of the E-Trac in cold weather. I have read that it may affect the machine's performance to move it between temperature extremes and immediately try to use it. I have only had the machine since September, and I have not yet tried the...
