    Option idea: Reverse Audio response

    Seems like this would take a software engineer at XP about a coffee break to implement. There's plenty of sites where I exclusively hunt the deep stuff. I'd love to make the audio response backwards. So deep stuff comes in loud and shallow stuff comes in quiet. Simply put, when the amplitude...

    Best freshwater beach (Great Lakes) program?

    Curious because I’d like to start beach hunting on the Great Lakes. I know the mineralization isn’t anything like saltwater beaches.

    How exactly does the 2D VDI on minelab machines work?

    Is there any information? I know we use the terms 'conductive' and 'ferrous' numbers, but we also know that those are not accurate descriptions. How's it really processing the target to get say a 10-40 vs a 12-40? As an example on my etrac, 10-40 would almost surely be a wheat penny where a...

    Why do I never find gold?

    I've had my etrac for 3 years now, and I never find any gold. I'm always digging everything 12-06 and up, and dig an enormous amount of pull tabs and have good success with nickels. I air test gold I've found with other machines and it is always 12-21 or 12-22, which is right where pull tabs...

    Why is the processor so slow?

    Anyone? The etrac isn't that old. Does anyone know what microprossessor is being used in the etrac? What I mean by slow is the delay between hitting a target and hearing it. not to mention the massive null on something that is discriminated. My omega 8000 was 1/3 the price new, and that is...

    First hunt with 6"DD Excelerator coil

    This park has been pounded to death for 30 years. Managed a little clad, some civil war and other bullets, a 1937 buffalo, pretty brass flowery plate thingy, and a silver bracelet, finally putting me on the board for silver this year (clasp is marked 925). I think the coil is a keeper

    Headphones for my small head?

    Currently using the Koss headphones that came with my detector, but they don't quite get small enough and constantly slip about my head. I have a small head, always have, hard to even find hats that fit right. Does anyone else suffer from having a small noggin and know of some high quality...

    Couple hours in the rain

    Even though it has been raining all day, couldn't resist getting out since its 50 degrees in January. Went to the park that had a civil war camp. Found a few buttons and a few bullets. My first lettered civil war button. Apparently its a non-commissioned officer's.

    First 2013 finds, CW bullets

    Went out for the first time this year. Found a bunch of civil war bullets at an extremely well hunted park using TTF. Shame I couldnt' scare up a coin or a button though.

    Short hunt yields silver

    Went to a new site for a couple hours the other day with my girlfriend. I of coarse had the etrac and she had my Omega 8000. Quite a rainy and cold day, started slow. After an hour I found a 1945 merc, then a wheat penny, then she found a wheat, a 1933 merc and another wheat, then the 14k...

    Big shovel in parks? (like a predator raven, or relic hunter)

    I'm just interested in hearing some thoughts and personal experiences about using these big shovels in parks. I've personally hunted with several folks who use full size shovels in parks, so I'm expecting more than just a round of "Oh no, never in a park". I don't use one, cause I dont have a...

    Screen overheating

    I'm wondering if anyone else has had their screen overheat? I was out detecting for about 45 minutes in the 95 degree heat the other day. I had my sunray rainjacket cover on. Anyhow, I was detecting find, then I noticed the screen harder and harder to see, I thought it was just glare playin...

    Getting a bit discouraged

    I recently moved to Missouri. Also bought an etrac about a month ago. Found a few silver rings with it and a buncha clad. Nothing old though, cept a couple wheaties. In fact, I can't find anything old in this state. Don't know if it's just the public property is completely picked over, or...

    Experience with 24-44 ish targets?

    I get a lot of these signals ringing about 24 44, 24 46, 22 44, etc. I've been told not to bother digging them, by one experienced etracer, but I want to hear others' opinions? These are mostly in iron littered areas.

    advice on an 1800s field

    Got permission on a bunch of land that had a cabin, wagon trail and small civil war camp on it in the 1800s. Now it is a cattle pasture. How should I go about hitting this place? Wide open and dig it all? Andy's coins? TTF? Just learning this machine still, so need some help.

    where to get Sunray Rainjacket?

    Just wondering where you guys have bought your sunray rainjacket etrac covers? The only place I see them using a google search is dixie detectors, which I'm not familiar with. Don't see them on kellyco, newenglanddetectors, ebay, etc..

    How is the Etrac with EMI?

    Currently have an Omega8000, which I love and have had lots of luck with. The one thing that bothers me a lot about it is that it is VERY sensitive to EMI. Almost anytime I get near a power line I get tons of interference, sometimes to the point of turning sensitivity down below 50% or even...

    Omega problem, anyone else had this?

    My omega likes to occasionally just cut out. Usually when I'm playing with the disc or sensitivity knob, the screen will just blank out and start back up, occasionally I'll have to turn the machine off and back on. It's not very often, but damn it's annoying when it happens and I dont think it...
