    Anyone ever need to send in an ETRAC?

    I have had my Etrac for just a short time and had a problem with the off/on switch. On pushing the switch it might come on after the first push, 5th push, or may not work until 15 or more. So knowing anything man made has a chance of something going wrong, I returned it to Minelab for repair...

    Oldest find to date! :hot:

    Living in the Midwest doesn't give me the opportunity to find colonial coins as my area of Iowa wasn't populated until 1850 or there abouts. Well after researching a couple of years ago I found one of the original settlements for my area. The area was first settled in 1848 and being near the...

    Took the XL Pro out yesterday and found 6 coins, BUT

    Five of the six were Indian heads and the other a 1910 Wheatie. Indians soaking to clean them up but were 1891,1894,1897, and (2) 1906's. I know the Pro loves silver but I have found over 100 Indian Heads in the past 3-4 years with it. It has given me my oldest coin finds! What more can I say...

    Here is one that got the blood pumping!!:stars:

    I dug this sometime back but it still frustrates me when I remember the highs and lows associated with it. Thought at first was a copper 1943, but turned out to have been copper plated by some jokester. I was flying pretty high until I found out it stuck to a magnet. Oh well maybe someday...

    Question????

    I have detected for 35+ years and used most detectors over the past but had never used a CZ so just purchased a 1021 series CZ3D.
