    I'm a big fan of TTF, thanks to Goes4ever!

    I've only had my new E-trac for about a week and have been reading, studying and trying my best to learn various settings. Thanks to advice that I received from the E-trac Classroom Forum, and in particular, Goes4ever, I was able to set up TTF and use it very successfully today. I had only a...

    Saving patterns and settings and advice needed for old fairgrounds settings

    Let me introduce myself to this forum, I'm Steve (INVASCdigger) from Northeast Indiana and I'm a new E-trac owner. I've owned a Minelab Explorer XS in the past, so I'm familiar with many of the settings for the older Explorer series detectors. The E-trac, however, has me scratching my head as...

    Question about the weight of an Explorer SE Pro

    I used to own an Explorer XS, and I really liked it, but it became so heavy to use that I ended up selling it. I'm 65 and still pretty fit, but I just don't have the strength that I had years ago, and using a nearly 5 pound machine really takes a toll on my arm. I even used a "Swingy Thingy"...

    Does Teknetics have holiday or Christmas specials planned?

    Has anyone heard if Teknetics will have a Christmas special for their detectors for 2012? I'm about ready to buy a T2 SE, but this late in the year, it would be my luck that I'd order it now, only to find out that I missed a nice holiday special that might be offered soon. Thanks, and HH

    Had a GREAT day with my AT Pro at the old fairgrounds!

    I revisited an old fairgrounds that has been a corn / soybean field for the past 130 years. It was an Agricultural Fairground from shortly after the Civil War until about 1882. The newest coin that I've ever found there was dated 1882. I first started detecting there in 1981, and it continues...

    F75 SE Ltd - What's in the box?

    Does the F75 SE Limited come with rain covers and coil covers for both coils, or are those options at additional cost? Also, what is the latest software version for the F75 SE Limited? When I shop, I want to be sure to get the latest version. Thanks!

    A question about the 8" coil

    When I bought my Explorer XS in 2003, it came with both a 10 1/2" double D waterproof coil, and an 8" double D coil. Does anyone know if the 8" coil is waterproof, or water-resistant? I want to use it at the beach, but don't want to take a chance that I'll damage it by totally submerging it...

    A question about the T2 SE

    Hello, I'm strongly considering buying a T2 SE (or a Fisher f75 SE Ltd) and would like to know if the T2 has proportional volume. What I mean by that is...the deeper the target, the softer, or quieter the response through the headphones. I like having the ability to use that feature because...

    2 GREAT days for silver!

    I headed to one of my favorite spots yesterday and today, and really got into some nice silver coins. I haven't dug a Walking Liberty Half Dollar in quite a while, but to find 2 of them on back t back days was pretty exciting! I had to use baking soda on the 1959 and 1964 quarters. They were...

    A great day for silver!

    OK...I'm a believer in tweaking the ground balance. After getting the advice to lower my ground number 15 to 20 numbers, I spent the day in an athletic field where I've had good luck in the past. My plan was to test the theory that the depth would increase with the tips that I've received on...

    O-Ring lubrication?

    When I first received my AT Pro, I noticed that the O-Ring that protected the battery compartment had a greasy substance that, I assume was to help seal the compartment from water/moisture. Now that I've opened and closed the compartment a number of times, the lubrication doesn't seem to be as...

    Numeric assignment for nickels

    I'm spending the winter in South Carolina, and I just got my new Garrett AT Pro. I've checked the numeric display for the various pocket coins "in air", and would like to know if anyone has a silver war nickel that they could air test and let me know the number range. I've checked a regular...

    How can you tell the frequency of a coil?

    TGIF, everyone! I'm negotiating to buy a used X-Terra 70, and the seller has a 6" round coil that comes with the detector. I asked him if it was DD or concentric, and what the khz rating was...and he doesn't know. Is there any way that he can connect the coil and determine whether DD or...

    Advice needed for detector model

    Hello X-Terra fans, I'm looking to update my detector with one of the newer Minelabs, and I'm seriously considering the X-Terra 705. I've been using a Minelab Explorer XS that I bought about 10 years ago. It's a great machine, but it is heavy and can be awkward to use at times. I bought a...

    Excalibur 1000 advice

    I was in one of our local pawn shops today and saw an Excalibur 1000 for sale. It had yellow Koss headphones and yellow topped control knobs. The 10" coil showed the serial number 17154. Can anyone tell me the year of manufacture, and what a fair price would be for it? They have a 30 day...
