    Equinox 800 has truly retired my E-Trac to back up duty only

    I have been enjoying my Equinox since I got it and love the speed of the processor over the E-Trac. I haven't touched my E-Trac since I started hunting with the Equinox and now will just leave it for backup only. The Equinox has been good on the beach and in the red clay I mostly hunt in. I...

    My Etrac has served me well

    I have been hunting with my ETrac for nearly 11 years now and it is a wonderful machine, but I had to move forward. I took it out in the dry dirt and got a couple of wheaties (25,28) this past weekend after I ordered my Equinox. My Equinox 800 was delivered Monday and I can't wait to get it...

    I found this 1861 .750 silver 15 Kopeck Russian coin (Minted from 1860-1866) in a local fairgrounds Friday morning while I was waiting on some buddies to show up. We have pulled about 35 silver coins from this space since December. It came up as a repeatable 12-41 at 3-4 inches and I was...

    First Gold with my E-Trac in 4.5 years of hunting

    My gold drought is finally over!!! The last gold I found was a wedding band 5 years ago. A hunting buddy (Mangum on Treasurenet) asked me to hunt a yard with him today since we were going to be in Charlotte anyway buying silver for our upcoming club hunt. This was a recently foreclosed home...

    Had an interesting day...silver and Civil War (in town)

    Our metal detecting club lost its meeting place because the facility was sold, so we had to find another one for next month's meeting. Well, we found a great building for our 60+ member club to meet at a Catholic affiliated facility that has multiple buildings including three older homes. I...

    5x10" 18.75 kHz coil question

    I am looking at purchasing a 5x10" 18.75 kHz coil for my XTerra 70 and was wanting opinions from people familiar with the combination on the strengths/weaknesses of this setup. I have signed up to go to England with a friend and was going to take my XTerra 70 with this coil as a backup to my...

    Found my first Eagle button, has a lot of gilt left

    I got to hunt with some friends yesterday at a home one of them has been hunting for some while. This home was built in 1885 and is the 3rd home on the same site. My friends have made some nice finds before I got there (flying eagle cent, shield nickel, many Indians including a fatty, several...

    First Class Ring (to be returned to owner very soon)

    I finally found my first class ring (I had to be pointed at it though) and it will be going home very soon. A couple of months ago someone at work was asking me what I had found recently when another coworker who used to be a neighbor of mine overheard the conversation. He asked if I could...

    Going to the beach soon...Any input on settings

    I am headed to the beach for Easter and want to play with my Deus and my ETrac. I know how to set up my ETrac, but need help with the Deus since it will be my first beach hunt with it. Anybody want to offer up preferred beach settings to help me in my quest? I haven't been using my Deus as...

    Found this button today. Is it real Civil War era or repop?

    I was hunting a yard today that I have hunted many times and found this button about 8" deep. When I cleaned it some I realized it had the palm tree and SC on it. My search turned up a civil war button just like it except that the civil war button doesn't have the S and C on either side of the...

    A good day and my best silver year ever! (Probably can't repeat again)

    Today was another good silver day for me with 2, a 1920D Merc and a 1911D Barber. This brings my silver total up to 122 (compared to 31 in all of 2011) which is pretty good considering where I live. I also found 1918 and 1927 wheats today. Please be patient...this will be long winded! I was...

    ETrac finally gets me into the seated club!!!:crazy:

    I was home in Mississippi visiting my Dad this past weekend (he is nearly 90) and my wife gave me some hunting time that turned out rather productive for me and my ETrac. I was covering a large area that has been in use since the late 1800's and every trip home I chip away at it. I got...

    Dues Continues to deliver on silver from hard hunted sites

    Went out hunting Saturday in a 200 foot curb at a local college campus where my buddies and I have pulled two walkers, one silver quarter, two merc's, a sterling hair beret, a couple of buffalo nickels, and a pile of wheaties. I was seeing what the Deus could find that had been missed by other...

    The Deus impresses again in previously hard hunted sites!

    I went back hunting at some hard hit areas where I and multiple others have hunted with a variety of machines and the Deus delivered again. The first notable find was in a grassy area at a local college campus (which I have permission to hunt) where homes used to be. I found a 1941 mercury...

    I am impressed!!!

    The XP Deus is a great machine!! I have been hunting with an ETrac for 3.5 years, but the XP Deus really impressed me. My ETrac has been wonderful to me, but there is a new kid in town. I bought an XP Deus two days ago and I immediately went to a place I had hunted hard with my ETrac to give...

    I love My ETrac but

    My ETrac has been wonderful to me, but there is a new kid in town. I bought an XP Deus two days ago and I immediately went to a place I had hunted hard with my ETrac to give it a good comparison test on how it hunted. This how my test in a difficult spot transpired. I went out to a small...
