    F-75 and gold

    I had in the past an F-75. I sold it a while back and am looking at getting the F-75 LTD or something like it if First Texas decides to upgrade the F-75 permanently. I was wondering if anyone can comment on the F-75's ability to find gold nuggets. I know the Gold Bug is the way to go, but I am...

    Will there be an F-70 LTD?

    Seeing how First Texas has upgraded the F-75 to the F-75 LTD, Will First Texas upgrade the F-70 to the F-70 LTD? IF so, I'm buying!

    Interesting report from Minelab comparing the E-Trac to the V3

    This reminds me of the David Letterman / Sarah Palin fight. Letterman's ratings were tanking due to Conan and Sarah Palin no one was talking about. All of a sudden, everyone was tuning into Letterman and everyone was talking about Sarah Palin. I have to laugh. Maybe Minelab and White's got...

    Who said the E-trac does not find gold chain ?

    I was at an older school yard for just about 2 hours with the E-trac and F-75. F-75 was working really great....finding 22 clad quarters, 12 clad dimes and 6 Jefferson nickles. I used my F-75 to clean up the clad because it swings so fast. I cleaned up all the clad in one area and knowing...

    Anyone use only the Excalibur?

    I was wondering. I have two Minelabs. An E-trac and an Excalibur. I like the E-trac a lot. It really goes deep and I like hunting land. The only problem is land hunting is not anywhere as near as profitable as water hunting. Seems tons of folks hunt the land and far fewer hunt the water. And...

    The best aftermarket option for the E-trac

    The Best thing to have for your E-trac is a GPS system. I have a Garmin GPS in my car and it is full of information on where to metal detect. If I do a search for schools, it gives me every school in the area I am in. II have been able to hit all the schools in my area, even the ones I did not...

    Clad converted to silver...it isn't magic !

    I've been out for a couple of days finding tons of clad in more modern parks here in Ohio with my E-trac and the 15 x 12 SEF coil. That coil is a clad monster and covers a great big area with every sweep. In the last few days I have found $130.00 in clad coins. Tons of quarters, dimes and...

    Why no E-trac forum?

    Seeing how the E-Trac is not an Explorer....... And the Vision just got a forum of its own........ Why has not the E-Trac have its own forum? Is it in the plans?

    Why Was The Vision Produced?

    Oh Boy. Not another.....why did they do that post. I've seen that same question asked about every detector ever produced. I've seen the same replies to those same questions for almost ever. Lets face it. Some people will question everything and make for at least a very interesting...

    Was out for about 3 hours and found this...I luvmyetrac

    I was out today in an historic area that was settled in 1805 here where I live. This field is owned by the city and has been pounded by literally hundreds of metal detectorists over the years. I see them there quite often and was not sure if I would find anything at all. I started swinging the...

    Which coil for beach hunting

    I've tricked out my Excalibur with the straight shaft, Ikelite connector and Gray Ghost headphones. I'm looking to cover more ground out of the water on the beaches in the dry and wet sand at low tide. Will be doing the coil installation myself. Any recommendations for the best coil to...

    If you are using the Pistol Probe with the E-trac

    and want the Pistol Probe not to interfere with the E-trac, then just do this. I noise cancel and while doing that, I hold the Pistol Probe's button down while the E-trac does its thing. You will hear the Pistol Probe sputter and stop while the E-trac goes through the channels finding the...

    E-trac numbers

    I was wondering if anyone else is seeing this. I was out today and the E-trac seemed to be working great. I did notice that pennies were reading sometimes 10, 11, 12 or 13 on the FE numbers depending if the ground was really wet, wet or somewhat dry. It really did not matter what year the...

    Is there a small dredge for sandy beaches and mud?

    Is there a small vacuum dredge for in the water at the beaches? I hate the scoop.......it takes too darn long. Scooping seems to take forever and I've yet to really see a good way to scoop. And the scoops really don't work all that well in the mud. Is there a better way to dig targets in...

    E-TRAC on the beaches and then on to........

    the parks. I've been in Florida for the last few weeks and I have hit the beaches really hard. 6 hour days and some days 10 hours on the beaches. The beaches are barren and very few people are on them lately. Not much to be found....lots of sanding going on and beach grooming. So I decided...

    E-trac, the beach, airplanes and other ramblings

    I've been in Florida for the last few weeks and have been on the beach for a while. I've noticed that when a piston powered aircraft flies over, I get interference with my E-trac. It is a quivering of the threshold tone that is very noticeable. I noise cancel every half hour and even that does...

    Excalibur and gold nuggets

    I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Excalibur using it for hunting gold nuggets? I am planning a trip out west this year and seeing how the Excalibur is so good at finding gold chain, if it would also be usable as a nugget finder. It has the higher frequencies needed to...

    Hip mount for the E-trac

    Does anyone know of a hip mount for the E-trac? I was swinging the E-trac for about 6 hours yesterday and my arm did get sore. I did have to stop every once in a while to rest. I used to have an Eagle Spectrum with the same problem. I bought a hip mount for that and problem solved. Is there a...

    Static electricity and the Excalibur

    I found something kind of interesting while inside the house doing some air testing. It was very cold here in Ohio and the furnace was running often. Lots of static electricity in the house. I was even getting shocks from the water coming out of the faucet. I was doing some air testing and...
