    First E Trac gold?

    Well, I went out today (took a day of leave to relax) and hunted for a few hours at the same place I found the silver merc earlier this week. I found clad, tabs and slaw. I was about to call it a day and decided to swing around a big old oak tree. I had a broken signal at 12-02, and as I dug, I...

    Found my first E Trac silver this weekend!

    I hit a few areas when the temps climbed to 45 this weekend for a couple of hours. I'm still learning my machine, experimenting with different programs and settings, so all I found at the first two sites ws can slaw, pull tabs and clad. I remebered the tip in Andy's book about looking at...

    New invention idea

    I swapped my E Trac with my buds V3 w the Sun Ray probe this wekend for a couple of hours. I use a Pro Pointer and had never used a probe until now. I have to say I do like the Sun Ray, but I fell into the group of people that constantly forgot to flip the switch when I was done pinpointing and...

    Over 20" depth in Nebraska soil!

    So, the weather was beautiful here today (50's), so I went to a site that was once a farmhouse/homestead in the 1800's. I had a weak signal and decided to flip over to deep on just to see if it would clarify the signal any and I had the picture below. The machine would null, then hit the 1-37...

    First time out with ET

    I was able to get out for the first time today with my ET and stock coil. I'm still in the learning phase (quite a bit different than my MXT Pro), but I do have some observations: 1. This machine goes deep! The most shallow target I dug today was about 3 inches, the deepest over 10! The crazy...

    E Trac came today..sitting at home waiting for me!

    My wife called me and said that my detector just arrived. And, I'm stuck here at work...:shrug: The ironic part of this situation is that we have had beautiful weather all month, until last night and today...50 mph winds, 9 degree temp (without the wind chill factored in), snow and just plain...

    What coils do you use- new E trac user..

    While I'm waiting to receive my E trac, I've been trying to determine a "good" mix of coils for it. I'm looking at the 10x12 SEF and X-5 right now. If you are experienced with your machine and have a good feel for what coils are the best our there, please let me know. I do a lot of park/ball...

    2 broken detectors!

    I finally have slowed down enough to get back swinging again, and I'm in a bit of a pickle. I took my MXT Pro out to a local park, and wasn't even detecting for 5 minutes when the mode toggle switch spun around in it's rubber boot and disappeared....all that remains is an empty rubber toggle...

    Confused Weather Forecasters?

    I think they are all so confused with our most recent weather patterns...:surprised: Awful Weatherman

    Website of Federal Land by State

    I stumbled across this site tonight. It lists all federal land by state. I think it is a good research tool. HH :usaf: http://www.nationalatlas.gov/printable/fedlands.html#blm

    Effect of the ground on coins

    I don't know if it's just because the soil here tends to be highly mineralized, but most of the coins that I have dug have been almost unrecognizable. Even after cleaning them under H2O, they still look like they have had better days...even some of the newer quarters. Guess I'll try a tumbler to...

    My Hunts from the past couple days

    I was able to get out for an early evening into night hunt last night and was fortunate enough to have about 4 hours today. My most productive areas were a couple of sports fields around the outside of the chain link fences that surround the field, around the bleachers and the grass along where...

    Oldest Settlement in Nebraska...problems

    I made it out today to the oldest settlement in Nebraska. It was the site of a trading post circa 1864 right off the Missouri. When I arrived, I noticed big chunks of concrete all over the site! As I started swinging, I had high VDI (83-97) hits with every pass. I dug the first three...

    First outing with new detector

    I went out to a local tot lot and broke in my new MXT Pro tonight. The ground is still mostly frozen, but there were patches of "diggable" ground. I had many solid hits with high VDI's, but they were in areas of frozen solid ground. Even my Lesche couldn't get down there! :mad: I was able to...

    Just when you think you might get a break...

    You get MORE snow! :rant: Mother nature teased us a bit here in the midwest and started melting enough snow to start showing the ground. We're under a winter storm warning now and it looks like another 7-12 inches. Oh well, more time to learn about my new MXT Pro I guess....

    Eureka Gold Question

    I have the opportunity to purchase a never used Eureka Gold for 400-500. Is that a good deal? How efficient is it on coins and other non-gold items?

    Kellyco...issue with items being "in stock"

    I'm new to the forum. I ordered an MXT Pro and a few other items from Kellyco a week or so ago and was told that they would have a shipment of Pro's in on the 10th. I called today and they had no idea when they would be getting them in. I'm a pretty patient guy, but I still like to get a good...

    New to Forum

    Hello to all. I've been lurking here for a few months and have decided to get back into MD'ing. I have a Radio Shack MD that I've played with off and on for the past 10-12 years (pretty basic, no target id or anything like that). I decided to order an MXT Pro from Kellyco last week and (because...
