    Considering Purchasing a CTX 3030 - thoughts?

    Hi, I am considering buying a CTX 3030. I currently have an eTrac and love the performance on land and am interesting in water hunting now too. Was on the fence about just buying an AT Pro for the water and keeping the eTrac or buying the 3030 and selling the etrac. The eTrac has been a great...

    Trouble with the pinpoint button

    On my last few hunts I have noticed that I have to hit my pinpoint button a few times before it goes on - has this happened to anyone else? I did a restart and that didn't change anything. It is still under warranty, but I am really not excited about having to send it away for what I imagine is...

    How is the CTX performing vs the ETRAC?

    For those of you who went from an etrac to the CTX, I am really interested to know how the CTX compares in terms of depth, descrimination, and ultimately - are you finding more or finding deeper coins in locations that you hunted out? Does it re-open places that you thought you cleaned out? I...

    1909 VDB, 1917 D Buffalo, Multiple silver coins and jewelry

    It was a productive few days for me - was able to sneak out in the mornings before the crazy heat struck and find some good coins. I switched from Auto +3 to Manual sensitivity of 25 on the etrac - heard a lot more chatter, but I think it helped me pull a few of the silvers out of places that I...

    Need Help ID'ing this Item/Button

    Hi Everyone, Got out for a couple hours today and was trying to dig a lot of nickel signals. Found this today about 5 inches down. It rang up like a nickel, which was surprising until I got home and cleaned off the back and it looks like possibly gilded. I don't know what the front says of what...

    Silvers, some relics and a bell with the etrac this weekend

    Was able to pull a couple more silver and a nice silver pendant this weekend. I also had a couple cool finds - an Ox Hide button, which I didn't know where collectible until I got home and looked it up. Also found an old bell about a foot+ down. It came out of the ground somewhat shiny, but I...

    Found a cool ring and a silver washington with the etrac this weekend!

    Got out for a couple short hunts this weekend. Yesterday I went to the park that has to a spit out silver dimes the past couple of weekends and found a 54 Washington! Today I went to a different park and while I didn't find old coins (oldest was a 46 wheatie) I did manage to pull this cool ring...

    Mutiple Silvers and Indians today!

    Hi Everyone, I got out for a few hours today and went back to the park I hit last weekend. I wanted to re-scan the area that I found silver in last week as well as wander around and see if I could locate another prime area. Well, I didn't find a new area, but I did manage to pull 2 more silvers...

    Finally Ended My Silver Drought!

    I have been hunting the same spots without results (except for a TON of wheaties) for the past week weeks and they haven't been yielding silver so I decided to try a few different parks this weekend...and I am glad I did. Ended up with 4 silver dimes and one of them is a 1909 O barber in awesome...

    Enviromental Cover - Anyone Else Struggle to Get This Thing On?

    Okay, not the most sexy topic, but I feel like I am goign to break the etrac when I try to get the environmental cover on. I don't like to expose the housing to rain (even just mist) but I just cannot get the cover on - I can only get it part way on. Is there some simple trick to getting the...

    Couple of Firsts - Big Silver

    Hi All, The weather is not great this weekend, so I got out early to get in some MD'n in before the rain got here. Glad I did - found two firsts, a Walking Liberty half dollar and a Washington quarter! What a rush finding that half. It is pretty worn, but still a beautiful coin! Other than the...

    I Finally Found a War Nickel!

    I got out for a few hours this morning and finally found a war nickel. I have really wanted to find one but the coin has eluded me until today! I was getting a lot of high tones on the etrac and was mostly ignoring nickel signals today - only dug one clad nickel other than the war nickel. Not...

    2 Merc Day!

    Hi All, Had my best day this season (in terms of silver count) with 2 silver coins in one hunt! Got out for about 2.5 hours and got lucky finding a nice patch of wheaties and a couple mercs. I am going to the same places that I hunted last year and just slowing my swing speed down - it's...

    Silver #3 for the year plus an Indian!

    Got out today for a couple hours - it was really early and really cold, but worth it! Finding a silver is exciting and I actually like indian head pennies better than most silver coins, so today was awesome! I don't find 3,4,...9 silvers like some of the awesome hunters on this forum, (or even 1...

    Found my first SLQ of 2012! Got the reveal on video!

    Hi Everyone. I got out for a short hunt today and was pleasantly surprised to find my first SLQ of 2012! I have been hitting a park near me that has given up lots of wheats in the past two hunts (9) but no silver - today I finally found what I knew what hiding there. Also found a cool token, a...

    Sounds good but pinpoints as iron - Anyone else experience this?

    I have been noticing that I will occasionally get an iffy signal that is in the dime/quarter range and sounds good, but when I try to pinpoint the FE jumps to around 35. This tends to be deeper signals so I dig, but haven't found anything good. Does this happen to anyone else much and have you...
