    Question! Is the E-Trac really the best coin detector?

    Your scale weight photos are showing almost 3 lbs not 2 lbs unless I am reading them wrong.

    Question! Is the E-Trac really the best coin detector?

    Just my personal opinion but I would rather detect with a Minelab Vanquish 460 or 560 for USA coins out here than the Etrac that was completely discontinued in May of 2022 and will no longer have Minelab technical support for repairs in May 2027. Minelab have clearly moved on from the Etrac. So...

    Question! Is the E-Trac really the best coin detector?

    This is one of the best topics on this site. Elmy always gave straight up, from long experience, truth filled advice. Two quotes from Elmy that were right on the mark as far as this topic- Is the Etrac really the best coin detector? "Some just don't understand the etrac/ctx 3030/v3i and they...

    Nokta Gold Kruzer, I’m impressed

    Start with either Gold 1 multi or Gold 2 multi with sensitivity 18 to 20. Noise cancel and ground balance. Don't use the default automatic ground tracking. Do ground grab instead. Iron bias on lowest setting, recovery speed on 3, 4 or 5 depending on ground conditions. Set the threshold tone to...

    Rematch of legend 2 and icon x

    Hi vito, you didn't hit a nerve with me at all. I just quoted your statements and wrote a reply. At least here in the USA, saying I can't stand something is basically the same as saying I hate it. They are roughly synonymous. My German is really rusty and they may not be synonymous in German...

    Rematch of legend 2 and icon x

    The results in the case of BigTim's test weren't about whether someone liked them or not. The suggestions I made were twofold: to help newer, less experienced Legend 2 owners possibly get more out of their detector with a simple iron filter adjustment, and to continue to encourage Nokta to lower...

    How many of you guys and gals have tried your hand at panning for gold or even sluices? Thinking of putting up another forum for the gold panners...

    There is already a "Prospecting" topic on this forum. Maybe it can be expanded or highlighted more than just putting it in air quotes by including detector prospecting, panning, sluicing, high banking, dredging, etc.

    Garrett Vortex VX7 VS XP Deus 2 WS6 Master

    I think Garrett is a great company. They have my respect. It is hard to make a simultaneous multi frequency detector from scratch that will work in all the same places as those made by Minelab, no doubt about it. I'm sure that Garrett was very careful to keep their SMF technology free from any...

    Garrett Vortex VX7 VS XP Deus 2 WS6 Master

    The Vortex has not had any issues with EMI here. If it did I would just shut it down. Single frequency detecting is useless here for anything deeper than 3". I was using an APTX Low Latency transmitter with APTX Low Latency after market ear buds. I really dislike Garrett MS-3 and CS-3 wireless...

    Garrett Vortex VX7 VS XP Deus 2 WS6 Master

    I recently picked up a slightly used Vortex VX7 for less than $275 two weeks ago and updated it to the latest software version. It came with the 11X8.5" Raider coil. I have hunted with it a few times since then and today I did a head to head with my Deus 2 WS6 with 11" coil running the latest...

    Nokta Gold Kruzer, I’m impressed

    I owned 2 Gold Kruzers and the earlier Gold Racer. At the time they were released, I liked the Gold Kruzer the best out of all of the available single frequency gold prospecting VLFs because they were waterproof, had a great display, had great features and still had a concentric coil option...

    Minelab Equinox 900 or Nokta Legend?

    Let me put it this way. I bought one of the first 900s that was sold in the area I live in which has moderate to high magnetite and volcanic rock mineralization. The Nox 600 and 800 were very well behaved here and could hunt iron sites fairly quietly. Best detectors I had ever used, period. I...

    opinions on pitch 2

    I'm in the USA and where I live public parks and public school yards are fine to detect without permission. I use Pitch 2 for hunting areas with play structures that have bark, pine straw, sand or gravel surfaces, in sand volleyball courts and freshwater swim beaches searching for micro jewelry...

    Waterproof headphones

    I have the original Nokta waterproof wired headphones . I like them just fine but the sound is a little muffled. They are well made and the cable to detector hard wired connection is definitely waterproof. Nokta recently released a newer version with reportedly better sound quality and volume...

    Serious Detecting Adam

    I ordered a very expensive pulse induction detector on Monday morning July 6th. It arrived today, July 9th via UPS, Michigan to Colorado. Based on my prior years experience and contrary to the original post in this topic, I ordered this detector from Serious Detecting. No issues whatsoever.

    Who bought a legend 2?

    The smaller Legend 2 elliptical coil does really well on sub 0.1 gram gold. It does detect the lower carbon fiber shaft a bit but it is very sensitive in prospecting mode. I liked the Legend 1 6” coil for gold prospecting. It had rear mounted coil ears so it would not detect the CF lower...

    Who bought a legend 2?

    It’s worth a grand. Legend 1 was worth that much too.

    Who bought a legend 2?

    I posted this on Detector Prospector on February 5th 2026. "I have done extensive head to head target depth comparisons between Legend 1 and Legend 2 in very magnetite and volcanic rock ground conditions. Those conditions may not be your conditions so think of this as a nearly worse case...

    Serious Detecting Adam

    I've been buying detectors and gear from Serious Detecting for over 10 years. I have never had any issues whatsoever. Did you pay for shipping? By my count from the information you provided it has been 8 days not 12. Not in anyway minimizing your issue with them. Just another perspective.

    New Nokta Detectors for Beach Hunters?

    Nokta have a USA based service center and have had this since 2021. They did not have that option until just before the Legend was released. Their USA warranty service really is excellent now on their latest model detectors roughly since the last Simplex model and Legend 1. I agree with Kac...
