    Etrac weight!

    If I begin to feel any discomfort I reach down and make the shaft shorter or longer. If going uphill I always shorten, downhill I lengthen it. I’m always adjusting it though so to stay as comfortable as possible. I have much lighter detectors that absolutely kill me. I think it’s the ergonomics...

    Need help... E-Trac won't work... acts strange.. lemme 'splain.

    I decided to take a walk in the woods today with the E-Trac. I put new batteries in the AA holder and tried to turn it on. It barely gets started, just makes a sort of hybrid clicking/eh sort of sound, no tones, the coil picture starts to swing from the left, swings about 1/2 inch and starts...

    Whew... found my receipt!

    According to Juan, I would need my original receipt to get my LTD upgraded, I'm glad I found it. I found my other FT receipts too, though I never had one for my T2 since it came straight from FT in a group buy before an organized hunt in VA. I think I have a service order somewhere from where...

    Tell me abot the different 5900s and the 6000..

    Is there a resource that compares these machines? I tried to do a search here but only got one result and it wasn't much help. The only Whites I have ever had or used is the V3 but have become interested in trying a 5900 but if there are good ones and not as good ones I don't know how to find...

    F19 question...

    Does anyone know if the F19 is available in BLACK ?? I am interested in trying one but I really don't want it in camo. I'm going to have my F75LTD converted to all black with the upgrade. Anyway, does anyone know? Is it just a phase like the LTD was? If it is, I'll wait. If not, I'll pass...

    What is the main difference between the Velox and Fors CoRe?

    Well, not much else to say. I notice they are practically the same price. I wonder if the Velox is better in bad ground and iron or if one is as good as the other. I am a little put off by the screen being on the side but I see that there is a numeric display on the handle which is a great idea...

    I could call Fisher but heck, posting is SO EASY...

    I have question and a request for a subjective opinion re: CAMO. My F-75 LTD is one of the camo models. I don't know what the SN indicates but it begins with 100 and ends with 759. I don't know how early it is or if it matters. Let me preface my question with something I noticed on the Fisher...

    The rumors of my demise are greatly exagerrated...

    Hey there! I sorta dropped out of the loop for a while. The upgrades to the F-75 and T-2 have me interested. I'm def going to upgrade my Camo F-75 LTD and get the 3yr warranty. Maybe I'll do the T-2 but heck, it is more like 400 bucks and it is one of the very first units... I may keep it "as...

    Sovereign GT vs Excalibur 2? Question....

    Other than the obvious, the water proofing and control box configuration, and battery.... is there any difference between the Sovereign GT and Excal II ? Thanks, Julien

    Well, I get distracted for a while and

    this happens... an NEW Minelab... I guess I will have to stop being lazy and sell a few detectors now.... ASAP! You know I'll have to have one of these. I have been able to get out again lately. Went out Thursday, Friday, and Saturday... that is more than I have gotten out in the last year...

    Who has compared the T2SE with the F75LTD/SE with the T2 with the F75?

    I have had a T2 since they first came out, I got a F75 when it first came out and used it as my "go to" for a couple of years. I got an F75 LTD camo when it came out and still have it and like it. I have an Omega and I like it OK but not as much as the T2 or F75 LTD. I like the sensitivity of...

    My cancer

    That is going t be hard on you but keep holding on to the thoughts of when you will be better and strong enough to get out and enjoy life again. Dont forget the light on those dark days when you feel bad... it will get better. My father-in-law had a 10% chance of living 6 months... that was 15+...

    Good luck Irene hunters !!!

    Be as safe as you can but get out there while you can. The best time to hit the beach is in the SW wind after the eye passes and before the sand begins to return... however, you do not want to get out there where there is a bunch of debris that can blow back toward the sea and hit you... I know...

    Well I did it.. Got a V3i................. Whew at first glance

    It is simply going to take some time Elton. White's uses different words for things and you are right... whew! It is esy to get the V3i out of whack by not paying attention yo what you tweaked. Once it "clicks" you will like it I think. It, the ET, and the Sovereign are, IMO, the TOPS at deep...

    How many of you went from a minelab to a V3?

    I have both an one is about as good as the other. There is no other machine on the market for general use that wil compete with either the ET or theV3/V3i. They both excell at giving you a signal on a deep target that wil get your attention and they both ID deep or masked targets well... they...

    VDI of Silver??? Better Think Twice! (Part 1)

    I have checked Mexican silver before and most of it read low... I cannot imagine why. I wonder if that is the case here. Julien

    V3i finds my first Civil War Relic

    That is very nice for your first CW find!! I would be hunting that area some more. Some Confederate soldier likely got in trouble for dropping that bullet, supplies were short and Confederate infantry was often required to give account of their ammo. The yankees got a supply everyday (12 IIRC)...

    I hate pull tabs!!!!

    I cannot understand why people pull them off the can and throw them on the ground.... they are not in the way. Maybe they will cut their lip on the can after they pull the tab off then maybe they will stop it. Coors, at one time, had push button tabs. A large one and a small air hole, both just...
