    Petersburg KY trip

    My family and I are heading out that way for a mini vacation and my son and I were wondering if anyone in the area could recommend a spot to find a few pennies. We are looking for a park or beach that is "metal detector" friendly---not a hot spot---just a nice spot. If you are in the area and...

    Atlantic City Beach Hunting

    It is said that AC has a lot of iron on the beaches. Has anyone tried TTF there? If so please chime in and if not please give me your opinion. If TTF works for dirt---why not at the beach? FYI--I will be using my excal and my son will be using my e-trac---trying to give him an advantage on depth...

    Playa del Coco--Costa Rico

    Some friends of mine are getting a 2013 fishing trip together at this particular resort in Costa Rico. I have lost my zeal for fishing and just want to detect. I would be the loner on this trip and would venture out to beaches on my own. I am not a big fan of leaving America (for obvious...

    Lake Tahoe--Incline Village-Nevada

    Must attend a convention there next week. Too cold to water detect so I thought I would bring along my land E-trac. Is anyone familiar with this area--I have not done any research yet--thought someone could give me a jump-start. Thanks

    sesitivity issues

    My E-trac wants to jump to manual sensitivity on its own. Happened twice yesterday. Maybe I am accidently doing something that I dont understand for it to be doing this. Comments please. Thanks

    Platinum ring #'s

    This has probably been asked before---but someone please fill me in with the #'s for a platinum ring. Is this type of ring pure platinum or can you get varying degrees of platinum ( alloy). Thanks

    E-TRAC 01-46

    Digging in the woods behind my office--80-100 yr old trees. No signs of previous habitation ( foundations etc...). Got a 01-46 reading about 4 feet from an old mulberry tree. I dug down about 8 inches and hit a very large root. I am close as my sun-ray pinpointer detects the target with ease...

    pin pointing with the E-trac

    In the mid-eighties I owned a Whites 6000D. There was a button on the handle which would put you in "pin-point" mode. If you hit the button 2 or three times it would de-sensitize the coil so that only the center of the coil was active and you could really PIN-POINT your target. Along comes my...

    Two Tone Ferrous

    Been trying TTF lately and am somewhat pleased. No great finds but I have noticed stronger signals from the lack of disc. that I have been using (relic mode). I think that I am going to try this at the beach this year--I really believe the depth will be increased and since I usually dig just...

    Taking your long-handled scoop on a trip

    Will be leaving for Florida soon and was wondering how to take ( more precisely pack ) my 44" scoop. I guess I was just thinking of boxing it up with a name tag on it--but now that the airlines are charging extra for each bag ($25)--wondering if I should ship it ahead by UPS. How does everyone...

    Outer Banks Hunting

    Hello everyone--Did not realize there was a Christian site--what a great idea! Have been hunting from Corolla down to South Nags Head for a week and a half now. Cleanest beach I have ever worked. 3 and a half dollars and one key. Using e trac and excal II. Some junk ----fewer coins. Pulling a...

    new excal II owner--need crash course

    I hunted with my e-trac at the ocean and came close to getting swamped---hence I purchased an excal II. This machine seems to be a pretty much turn on and go machine since I do understand ( at least I think so ) the control panel fairly well. I just watched a video about the different tones put...

    BEACH HUNTING WITH E-TRAC

    Started hunting with my new e-trac about one month ago---all in parks, lawns...etc...I just returned from a week in Ocean City Md. Talk about a clean beach!!! The first day I was there I hunted for about an hour and found two zincs and a token. I was using the beach mode. I was so desperate for...

    Depth of larger coils at the beach

    Will be taking my e trac to the Outer Banks in North Carolina In a few weeks--The Outer Banks has produced older finds from the numerous shipwrecks over the past 300 or more years. I plan on hunting the low tide area where the least amount of trash is and was wondering what, if any, the depth...

    e trac availability

    Trying to support my local dealer in Gettysburg, Pa. but he does not know when his next e trac will arrive. I am waiting patiently---not sure how long I can last before I have to look elsewhere. What is the availability in other areas of the states? Thanks for your input
