    Want To Buy, WSAII-XL Headphones For The Deus2

    I just bought a set from Fort Bedford. They were in stock and I received them in a few days. I don't have any affiliation with these guys but I did find out that they just changed hands. If I have this correct, the previous owner does Minelab service...

    E-trac vs. XP Deus II.

    I got out with the Deus II for about 45 minutes today. That thing is really FAST! I used this guy’s settings that he shows starting around 4:25 just to try an have it open for coins mainly. I really think this thing is going to find stuff between the trash that I missed before. The recovery...

    E-trac vs. XP Deus II.

    Hi Dan, just ran across this post nearly three months after you made it. Man I sure miss your videos! At the time I was just getting into detecting and looking forward to every new video that you did. I started out with an old Tesoro and quickly upgraded to an Xterra 705 but lusted after the...

    Beware of the XP update.

    Doesn't look like the update is an issue.

    Barber Pocket Spill

    It’s been a while since I’ve been out detecting but my family and I always get out on Thanksgiving week/weekend. Yesterday we had two old home sites that were side by side that my brother in law (who doesn’t detect) got us permission to detect. One site was constructed in the mid 1770’s and the...

    Detecting a property that's been pounded by Xterra 705s

    We have a site not too far from our house that's owned by a neighbor. The property used to have a late 1800's house on it and when the previous family had to give it up because of health and financial reasons another neighbor who's property borders this property bought it and tore it down...

    George Had A Rough Life

    Haven't been out with the Etrac for a while until this last weekend. A family member told us that we could detect an area which we originally thought was owned by someone in their neighborhood but we found out that it's owned by the local township but our relative has recently been cutting...

    E-TRAC Unresponsive For A Few Seconds

    Hi guys, as I had mentioned in a previous post my brother and I both bought E-TRACS a little over a week ago. One thing that we both noticed is that occasionally during a day of detecting (maybe twice during the day) the E-TRAC will make a steady "target like" tone for about 2-3 seconds and...

    Second Time Out With The New E-TRAC

    Well guys, I think I'm going to like the E-TRAC! The other day we hit a location that's been well hunted but we've never hunted it. I had a nice 12-45 signal and pulled up a 1913 Barber dime. About ten minutes later I had that same signal and it ended up being a 1911 Barber dime. I found a...

    Time For A Change

    Hi guys, after owning an Xterra 705 for over 6 years I made a mutual decision with my brother, Hotrod53 to buy an E-TRAC. Although not my best year for silver this was one of my better years for silver finds with the 705. There are 4 705's in our family and we really like the detector but...I...

    First Carriage License

    Put some time in detecting with my brother in law yesterday. The first place we went to was an old park near the city. I told him, "I once saw a guy on You Tube pull out an early 1900's carriage license out of this park, I'd love to find one of those". After 45 minutes and a little bit of clad...

    Double Silver Trifecta Day Today

    Today we went to a small piece of property that my brother (Hotrod53) has been eyeballing for a little while. He noticed that they were tearing down an old house and the guy told him as soon as they get the equipment out of there that we were free to detect the property. The guy told him "you...

    Went To A Pow Wow Today

    My brother (Hotrod53) and I decided to go back to a place that we detected a few months ago with our brother in law. It's an old 5 over 4 home that we were told is from 1807. The last time we were there my brother found the owner's wife's wedding ring and a flying eagle cent. I think my...

    Sign of the Dimes

    Went to one of our standby parks today. Silver has been few and far between at this stage of the game but this year I've vowed to search in the more obscure areas of any previously detected sites. A few weeks ago it paid off by finding a merc near the edge of the woods and that merc was the...

    One & Done

    Went to a section of a local park that I'd been eyeballing for a little while. It's labeled as a "Natural Habitat" area which I think just translates to "We don't want to take care of this area anymore". ha ha ha There were some old black stone steps leading up to a big open flat area with...

    Backwoods Detecting

    Did some backwoods detecting today with Hotrod53. About a year ago a friend of mine gave us a tip about an old homestead deep in the woods behind his house. Shortly after that my Mom and I tried to find it with no success. I asked my friend one more time how to get there so a few weeks ago...

    Yesterday's Finds

    Lately it seems like our family has been stumbling upon properties near or smack dab in the middle of road construction sites. Yesterday Hotrod53 and I went to an abandon property that I'd accidentally found when I made a wrong turn one day while out scouting detecting spots. This place was...

    Great Way To Start Off The Year!

    It was kind of a spur of the moment decision to get out today but Hotrod53 and I went to an old brewery that he had been eye balling for a good number of years. Most of the land has a main road cut right through where the building was. The only thing that remains is the stone back wall which...

    Queen Victoria and Her Young Friend

    Saturday, Hotrod53 took me and our Mom to a site that he's been eyeballing for a few weeks. There used to be an old house on the property and they've recently leveled the house to make way for the expansion of an intersection that's been a civil engineering nightmare since the day the road was...

    Quarter Frenzy

    I've had days where I've found more coins than this but today I set a new personal record for the most quarters in one day. We went to a local recreation area that we had been given permission to hunt. My Mom had already been there a few times and had a nice couple of hauls, mainly quarters...
