    Attention E-trac & Explorer owners that have decided not to upgrade! Please post your "hunted out" locations below for CTX owners to "practice" their

    GPS coordinates will be appreciated! But please hunted out spots only, don't give away a Cherry patch that is still producing.:nono: HH BB

    Danger ahead! :look: Test videos.

    In the coming weeks as more CTX's are released there is something to be kept in mind concerning the audio tones being recorded in the videos. Remember that the tones can be assigned to different target ID's. Meaning, just because the detectors you are used to using always have a low...

    The HMS CTX....water 'tectin.

    The CTX is has been officially stated to have "just under neutral buoyancy". This means that you are not going to have to fight to keep it under water, which can put a lot of strain on your forearms. Using it compared to a detector with a saucer coil and having to throw a sand filled sock over...

    Using the GPS.....general remarks about accuracy using a handheld.

    GPS experience of users of the detector are going to range all over the place from someone who has never used one to people who use them in their work for surveying etc. Without getting too long winded a GPS handheld receives a signal from satellites orbiting the earth. The satellite data...

    About that multi-frequency Thang.

    I have seen several questions and some misinformation about the multi-freq issue. The commonly used VLF detector operates on a single frequency unless it is like an X-terra that changes when the coils are swapped out. Below are the waveforms from an X-terra X-30, Fisher ID Excel, and Fisher...

    The CTX was rushed into release because the Acme detector company is about to release a new one.

    This another myth I've seen in several posts by armchair experts. I've been involved with this project since the middle of 2009 and we are approaching the middle of 2012. The project was already underway when I became involved, and I'm going to guess it was already underway for at least one...

    Accessory Coils: Let's head this one right off at the pass.

    Coils in their simplest forms are what's known as magnet or Litz wire wound in a loop of what can be several shapes. Besides a wide variety of engineering factors that must be met, one of the bigger issues from a user standpoint is consistency of performance of the same model coil from a...

    Now where was I last week?

    Looking North: [attachment 232240 north.jpg] Looking South: [attachment 232241 south.jpg] At this beach when the tide goes out it's about 1/4 mile dunes to water, besides the beach being 2.5 miles long. So it's 25 degrees F with a 20-30mph wind off of the water and I have a detector in one...

    Come the 11th please give the moderator some slack.:smile:

    This is a very complex piece of equipment with a myriad of features. I'm sure each individual with an interest in it will have their favorite topics that they want to discuss and the questions will come fast and furious. But Randy is only one guy and there are enough features that I'm sure...

    I've read the AT Gold manual twice now and I'm left scratching my head?

    The AT Gold looked like it might be an interesting detector for freshwater wading purposes supposedly being a bit hotter on Gold than the AT Pro. But I'm left feeling like Charlie Brown as Lucy once again whisk's the Football away just before the kick. If you're going to hunt Gold Jewelry, and...

    Having trouble getting Minelab product including the X-terra? Here's the problem....

    [attachment 158925 suadmn2.gif] Any Minelab detector that can detect Gold(Eureka, X-Terra, SD, GPX) has seen a dramatic increase in demand. I made in inquiry and was told that they are running three shifts per day to try to meet demand, and feel they are making some headway. But that, the...

    E-trac eye for the X-Terra guy. :lol:(Sorry I couldn't resist)...Or how the E-trac emulator provides some Gold Jewelry ID behavior.

    On the Minelab website is the E-trac emulator which allows you to play with an E-trac on screen. http://minelab.com/__files/f/9429/setup-etrac-en.exe Once installed you can download a couple of data set files available from a Findmall forum member "The Beep Goes On". For those not familiar...

    Minelab doing extremely well financially!

    Unlike privately held metal detector companies Codan is a publicly traded company on the ASX (Australian Securities Exchange) with symbol "CDA". In December Minelab landed a big contract to supply 3,000 land mine detectors to the government of India to the tune of $5.5 million USD...

    And now for something completely bizzare.....why does the snow come to life while detecting? Even while sober?:lol:

    On the rare occasion during the Spring when I've had Flatlanders detecting with me they are sometimes freaked out by the snow. Not because it's deep, or wet & cold, but because it comes to life and begins to move. Now the Old Codgers don't normally notice it because they're just too dang...

    Why in the past year has there been a concerted effort to ask E-trac & Explorer owners to Suspend Reality?

    I rarely post on Explorer, E-trac, & Safari forums, but I do read them. Since the release of a couple of other brand's higher end detectors there has been a campaign to discount the quality & quantity of Finds posted on the Minelab forums. Those efforts have come in many forms, from outright...
