    Quick Question about the carbon shaft from that fellow that makes the

    Can someone tell me if the stock lower rod on the Nox 800 will work in the upper carbon shaft that the fellow with the A name makes? I bought one of his 2 piece woven carbon shafts, but want to use the old lower shaft and keep it connected to my 6 inch coil. Will it fit in the upper carbon...

    Back On Trac.....

    Hello AGAIN, my fellow E-Trac users! OMG, today, my new E-Trac arrived.....I am so overjoyed to be once again the proud owner of what has been my finest machine ever, the Minelab E-Trac! One of the most not-so-brilliant things I have ever done, was to sell my first E-Trac, when the CTX3030...

    Google Earth has made a change that is bad for us....we need to contact them....

    One of the things I have always loved about Google Earth, was that if I was zoomed out, I could do a search for Cemetery, or Church, or School, or Spring, or Chapel, or any number of other words that might indicate where I could hunt. Little red dots would appear all over the map showing a...

    Anyone looking for a Tejon?

    Hey guys.....as much as I hate to part with my Tejon, I need to thin my herd. I took her out yesterday one last time to make sure she works...... I have always marveled at how deep these machines go...... The Eagle is part of a Banjo Head Drum, but it is circa 1800's. The collar brass is...

    Increasing depth through use of rods in the ground, connected to a power source....

    About 30 years or so ago I remember some talk about driving two brass or copper rods into the ground and then applying voltage to the rods via a car battery, with the thought being that the flow of the power through wet ground would increase the conductivity of a non-ferrous target such as...

    A BIG Thrill from a BIG Silver Spill

    I went hunting with a friend today, down near Gustine, Texas. Larry and I have talked about detecting where he deer hunts for months now, and today was the day. Four old house locations, on four different properties. Nothing at all very interesting. Found a bunch of clad, 3 old diecast...

    AT Gold Threshold changes an octave?

    Here is what I am hearing. I set the threshold on my AT Gold to say 1. GB the machine, Discrim 1 pattern or 2. I will be walking along, swinging the coil, and suddenly, I hear the THRESHOLD tone change an octave upward, and then return to normal. It is NOT a hit per se, and it is...

    Coming Full Circle.....New AT Gold User

    I started out 41 years ago with a Garrett BFO detector, pre-discrimination days. Have owned several through the years, along with other brands. For the past 13 years or so, I have used Minelab, including their newest CTX3030. A lot of my friends in the Cowtown Treasure Club (Fort Worth...

    Ya'll gonna love this! GREAT new app to use in the field

    Imagine if you will, driving down the road, and seeing an old abandoned homestead off the road, out in a pasture, in some woods, or perhaps on the other side of a barbed wire fence……. Or searching a topo map and seeing an old home site you would like to visit….. Or even being told, on the...

    His One Final Tone

    Didn't know where to put this, but my closest friend died a month ago today. Robert was a devoted Garrett User. This is my way to get some closure, so I ask that the moderators just let the message fade, and not move it. It is my tribute to a good friend and someone who has loved our hobby...

    Estimating Tree Age when looking for older sites

    I put this on the CTX forum (my native forum), but wanted to cross post to here, as it has some relevelance for several forums on the site. One of the things I love to do, is hunt older sites, mainly in the country. Here in Texas around my particular area (DFW), we don't go past about 1850's...

    One of the things I love to do, is hunt older sites, mainly in the country. Here in Texas around my particular area (DFW), we don't go past about 1850's. In the country, driving around, I am always on the lookout for old homesites. I watch along creeks for rocks, vegetation, remnants of log...

    P S N (Problem Solved, NEXT!)

    Have you ever changed coils in the field, ONLY to discover that the $%&$%^ compression grommet at the bottom of the shaft, has popped out, and you CAN'T find it? Well, I have. I always try and have an extra set for my machine. NOW, if I can ONLY keep track of WHERE I put those $%&$%^...

    Off Balance

    I remember the day I got off balance.....8 months ago, when I got the CTX. Oh, I read the instructions. I am not like some bozos out there. After 39 years of detecting, I KNOW to read directions. In particular, the Enable GB check box. I always want to enable Ground Balance....... Over the...

    How many acres have I detected in my year? My detecting lifetime? This trip? Excel Program for calculating......

    Through the years, I have often wondered how much land I have been over. I created a spreadsheet that answers that question, in square feet, and acres, for a minute, an hour, a day, a year, and my detecting lifetime. LOL For myself, using an average of a 10 inch coil, Didn't try and make it...
