    Some new gear arrived today including Ultimate 13' for Etrac

    I ordered a new Ultimate 13" coil a couple days ago, a new tall man lower shaft and a set of earbuds from 3 different sellers. All 3 arrived today. I spent over an hour and a half air testing and running the new coil in my yard to get some first impressions. For those interested, the coil is...

    Just ordered the Ultimate 13" coil.

    I just ordered the 13" Ultimate from Kellyco and it is supposed to ship tomorrow. I hope I like it and I hope it sniffs out some deep silver for me.

    Anybody use earbuds with their etrac?

    Was thinking about getting a good set of earbuds with inline volume control for use with my etrac. Do any of you use earbuds and if so what kind?

    Air test results, really interested in 13" Ultimate and 18 x 15 SEF

    I did some air tests on the pro coil and 12 x 15 SEF today and would be really interested in seeing results from the 13" Ultimate coil and 15 x 18 SEF if anyone has them and is willing to air test them. I ran my machine in factory coins mode, auto sensitivity plus or minus nothing and noise...

    Question about the 3030

    Ok so I'm currently hunting with an etrac and embarrassingly have just stumbled onto this relatively new offering from Minelab (working and hunting treasure has taken me out of the loop for while) and I have a simple question. Is the CTX 3030 waterproof? If I buy one of these can I spend all day...

    Anyone ever haul your Etrac in a backpack?

    I'm seriously thinking about buying a mountain bike and riding it to detecting locations in remote areas. I was thinking of also buying a backpack to transport my detector. I would like to transport it without taking off the upper shaft, just the lower one due to having a Sunray Probe and I...

    Which Predator Tools digger?

    I just got the Raptor last week and was so impressed I'm going to order a long handled tool. The delima is that I'm torn between the Little Eagle and Model 59 Relic Pro. Any suggestions?

    Etrac accessories are easier to get this year for me.

    Anybody else having luck? Last year I waited about 4 months each for a 6x8 and 10x12 SEF and never did get any lower shafts. This year so far I got a 12x15 SEF in less than 1 week and I ordered 2 lower shafts Tuesday evening and here it is Friday afternoon and they are here already.

    My 15 x 12 SEF just shipped from Kellyco, I can't wait!

    I just got notification that my 15 x 12 SEF coil shipped from Kellyco and will be here by weeks end. Any of you out there have any luck with this coil? Now just if we get a warm spell here in central PA all will be good. I am really exited about the prospect of digging some old silver soon.

    Looking for advice. If you were me would you dig?

    OK here's the deal. This morning I went to a site that was a social hall in the late 1800's to do a little detecting. The chimneys and fireplaces that were on both ends of the building still stand but that is all. It is located at the outer edge of a public park and MD'ing is OK there and the...

    A rookies first full length hunt with the E Trac, photos and thoughts.

    OK a little background, aside from a very cheap metal detector I had 35 years ago when I was 10 and hunting with a friend and his detector twice 20 years ago (I found a Morgan dollar then), I am new to this hobby. I have about 15 hours on a Tesoro Cortes. I hunted with the Cortes and knew I had...

    On the third swing with my band new E Trac it.........

    Found this 1914 D quarter. I've had the E Trac for a week and have had it in my test garden a few times. I've been working third shift and today was my last day. I'm off the next 4. I took the E Trac to work with me last night and a buddy of mine told me to stop by his house and give it a try...

    OK New E Trac Fnally Arrived Now What?

    My E Trac finally arrived earlier this week and I've only had a few minutes to play with it in my test garden. I'll have a chance to do some real hunting early next week and have a few questions. My plan is to hunt in the minelab coin mode and maybe with sensitivity in auto +? and with the...

    Stupid question?

    OK I have an E Trac on order ( the wait is unbearable ). I've been looking for a extra coil for use in moderately trashy areas and have pretty much decided on the Sunray X-8. I was going to order tonight and see that the website offers a lower shaft also for the coil. My question is whether or...

    Looking for advice for e trac coils.

    I'm waiting (anxiously) for my new E Trac to arrive. I'm tempering the pain by reading and re-reading Andy Sabish's book. My question is about the "best coils" for my situation. I will be hunting trashy areas occasionally but not primarily. I will be focusing on areas where old coins (1800's)...
