    Minelab Etrac for sale

    Its a difficult decision but I've decided to finally list my pride and joy metal detector. I've had it since it was new, absolutely love it. Don't get out as much as I used to. Only selling because I'm upgrading the hardware on my boat and well, holy smokes you thought metal detectors...

    Explorer modes question

    I use a Etrac but I have a question about explorers. If a person was going to share what settings he used with another explorer user, would the guy sharing his settings pretty much give the information in this screenshot?

    Never guess what my kids found! Funny!

    Haha, you guys are gonna laugh over this one! Last week, we were up at the creek. My kids were doing some gold panning and running the sluice. My mom is over visiting from the greater Seattle area. We were about 2 miles (ish) from the Candian border in the mountains of NE Washington state...

    Best headphones?

    I dont think I am going to rush out and buy any new headphones, but I am curious about it. I just have the stock Koss headphones for my etrac, but does upgrading to a nicer set make a big difference? and what does everyone else use? I guess what I dont understand about the nicer headphones is...

    Metal detecting terminology?

    Being a computer geek / retired web developer, I am into acronyms... Now... Being new to detecting, I see terms that I dont understand and have to read about. I thought it would be cool if we could start a thread and you ole pro's could explain some terminology for us new guys. Or even...

    Got my x1 probe yesterday, its great!

    I went out today for the first time with the x1 probe on my etrac. It is awesome! Being new to the hobby I have left quite a few holes without recovering anything. Not today!! First things first, It made it so much more fun. It was EASY to recover my targets and I really did not dig one...

    Mineralization, Prospecting and the Etrac question

    I know thats an odd subject, but I can not think of a better way to phrase it. Probably a year ago I was watching prospecting videos on youtube. I came across a video of a guy that was detecting in the shallow water of a creek. He was not actually searching for gold or relics, but rather...

    Going silver hunting

    So in a couple hours or so I am going to over to a ladies house that gave me permission to hunt on her land. The story goes something like this. 100 years back there was a silver miner that had a fort built on what is now her land. He had the fort because in those days around here the Indians...

    So my friend John and I were out detecting last night. He has been detecting for 19 years, I been detecting for like a week. John hunts with a Whites Spectrum XLT and I of course have my eTrac. It was a blast to hunt with someone that knew what they were doing, he agreed that the ball field...

    Was down at the elementary school today, bust of been every 12" I hit something at 1 - 34 on the meter. They were like every foot to every couple feet or so, only spent 15 minutes there before I had to go. What would be all over the place at about 4 - 6" down that rings in the range of 1...

    Pointers for my first real hunt

    Writing this in between lightning strikes.. Short and sweet I got permission today to detect in town where they have several blocks of pavement down to dirt. Monday morning it will be paved again. I am guessing its 4 or 5 blocks. Any pointers that I should know? This will be my first...

    Hunting Schools?

    Is hunting on school property generally legal? Or is every state / city different? Like today when I went down to one of our local parks, there was an officer there sitting on the table talking to another guy. I walked by with etrac in hand and my diggin tool in the other. He could of cared...

    eTrac modes / patterns

    I have seen a pattern posted here and there, but is there a thread somewhere that is just people posting their patterns and modes? It would be great if everyone could post their patterns and the modes used in 1 thread, I think it would make it easier then digging through old threads trying to...

    New guy, Need some advice on coils

    Howdy! I guess I will start by saying that I used to have an Explorer II. I loved it, but tough times forced me to sell it. But I am buying a new eTrac today and I am pretty excited about it. When I had my other Explorer I did not get out as much as I wanted. I think its pretty safe to say...
