    Etrac finds Spanish Silver in SE Missouri this spring

    I havn't posted much on here for a while but thought that some of you would enjoy some pics of some of the goodies I found with my etrac this spring. I detect with a CTX and an Etrac on my Colonial sites but it just so happened that I found the Spanish silvers, and many of the other...

    Minelab PUH-LEASE develop an inline probe!!

    I sure do wish Minelab would develop an inline probe for the CTX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I sometimes find myself going back to the van to get my etrac just because it's so nice to have the inline probe when trying to find a good target in a hole with bits and pieces of metal trash. Not to...

    CTX finds. Never would have believed it!

    A few months ago I purchased a very slightly used CTX 3030. Have been an etrac swinger for a few years now. All of my usual sites were hunted out of silver, or so I thought. I've pounded the local park with several different coils, directions, and swing speeds on the etrac. Did quite well...

    a half kind of day...1/2 dime & 1/2 reale that is...

    Greetings digger buddies! Finally got back out to my favorite honey hole this week. Been waiting for this field to be plowed ever since last summer/fall! The landowner gave me a jingle on the teleophone on Thursday to let me know that it had been plowed and disced! I couldn't get out the...

    Just recieved my CTX!

    Just had my CTX delivered and I can't wait to get the hang of hunting with it. Took it out for a brief spin and can already tell that I am sure going to miss my sunray inline probe that I have on my etrac! (Any chances of there ever being an inline probe for the CTX??????) And not a big fan...

    Research & Charming a land owner pays off Ended silver slump & joined the 1700's club

    Joined the 1700's club today and ended a LONG silver slump at the same time! I was hunting a very large field looking for a church or meeting house site that should have been close to two very old cemeteries on the land I'd recently been granted permission to hunt. About 800 or so acres here and...

    1st decent Seated liberty, Old tokens and other finds

    Has been a long time since I've posted anything on this site. I've not been able to detect as much as I would like (but then who does...lol) this past summer, and when I did get to go the finds were few and far in between. I did manage to find my first Seated Liberty dime in decent shape a...

    Several silvers, token long way from home, bullets etc

    Havn't gotten out much and missed detecting today so decided to upload some pictures and post these for you all to enjoy. These pictures actually represent about a half dozen hunts. 7 of the mercs and one of the barbers came from one site, one barber (the one I scratched the back of with the...

    A new use for the etrac that I hope none of you ever need

    Bear with me folks. The story long but it's worth the read. Last Thursday started out to be a great day. I finished work early and decided to stop by a couple of places and do some detecting on my way to pick up my 2 yr. old son. My very first signal within minutes of hitting the power...

    Does the CTX screen indicate depth on targets?

    Still contemplating trading a chunk of my hard eared dough for a CTX but before I do I want to make sure I know exactly what I'm getting myself into...lol. I have been following posts on this forum for a while and have a question for you lucky few. Does the CTX indicate depth on targets? I...

    GOLD silver lead M is for MINE. Indian head, merc buffalo

    With several experienced detectorists around the area good finds can be few and far in between, but sometimes the few make all the empty swings worth it! Here are finds from 3 different hunts. The Gold and silver ring is not inscribed on the inside so it gets added to my treasure box/son's...

    A stamped Seated Dime, Tokens & Etc

    Found a few goodies this past week. There are couple of bullets and an ornate sterling silver ball off of a hat pin (unfortunately minus the pin) which are from a couple of different hunts at a local park. And then there's one of my favorite ever tokens, a square token stamped F. Kippinberg...

    Some CW Relic Eye candy

    Here is my display case with my CW relic finds from the last year or so, including this year so far. The sword belt buckle was actually found by a friend who doesn't collect. It was a surface find from a sidewalk tear out in a construction site that I and other hunters got warned off of before...

    Large assortment of goodies from last few weeks

    Took me a lot of swinging and different hunts/sites with a couple of different coils to put together this batch of finds. A couple were surface finds (silver '53 rosie & '03 indian) found with my ultra deep 13 inch ultimate coil....lol. Is that Murphy's law for metal detecting or what? Buy...

    Question about screen for new CTX users

    Greetings oh fortunate ones :please:....I have a question for those of you who are now hunting with the CTX. My one major complaint about my etrac has always been screen visibility in direct sunlight and heat. Nothing worse than getting out to detect and putting up with the heat/sweat just to...

    13" Ultimate Coil vs 10x12 SEF Silver dime trio & Colonial Button

    Greetings all. Finally got my 13" Ultimate coil in the mail on Saturday, after 1 month+ of waiting! Got out briefly on Sunday to try it out. My first stop was at a very hunted out Union encampment. First few signals were trash so I decided to move from that area and as I did I noticed that...

    1st Large cent, 1820-40's US military coat button, MANY other buttons etc

    Spent most of yesterday afternoon back at the field that I found the capped bust 1/2 dime in. Kept hoping for some more coinage, and finally did manage to find my 1st large cent. Unfortunately it is in poor condition and I can't make the date out, before I cleaned it I think I saw an 8 as the...

    WAHOOOOOEEEEEEDrapedBust1/2dime!!!!!

    I still can't believe I found this! I honestly never thought I would ever find anything like this beautiful little coin. Everytime I see other members post pictures of 1/2 dimes I almost salivate, then when I found a 1/2 of a 1/2 seated dime last week I figured that would be as close as I'd...

    Colonial buttons & after swinging a 10x12 in the hot sun a 1/2 seat is better than no seat!

    Last year I'd been granted permission to detect some of the grounds on one of the oldest houses in the area, but our one trip there was extremely hot and miserable, and fruitless, so I hadn't been back since. A few cannon balls had been found on the land but we aren't sure where exactly. The...

    Etrac with the X-5 squeaks some silver out of the trashy park

    Have been hunting a local park for quite some time now, and it's pretty much hunted out from several years worth of different hunters and different detectors. Decided to give the old sunray x-5 a college try there the other day because I hadn't used it a whole lot and figured I didn't have...
