    15” Coiltek questions

    Thinking of getting the 15” Coiltek for my Etrac. Anyone have one? Comments on what you think about it appreciated. Also, how come they have one that has ribs in the middle and one that does not and is open in the middle. Thanks for your comments.

    Colonial Copper

    Found this copper today about 8" deep. My question is ....I cannot see any detail on this coin. I do not know if it is just too crusted over or if it is just too far gone. I'd like to try and do something to see if there is any detail left? Any suggestions on what to try. I didn't want to...

    Hey guys...been awhile since I posted anything. Looking for some assistance. I just purchased a Sunray X-5 coil. I have the Etrac currently set up in the "coins" mode and have been detecting my yard which was built in 1814 and it seems like no matter how many times I've been over the...

    Stock coil vs 4x8 SEF

    Generally speaking will I be better off using my stock coil vs the 4x8 SEF when searching ground that is not cluttered with trash? In other words can I expect a bit more depth out of the stock over the 4x8? Just wondering if you've found that you squeak a bit more depth out of the stock...

    How do you protect your Etrac screen/buttons from wear or scratches?

    With all the ipads out there I was wondering if putting one of those self adhesive screen protectors would be beneficial to the Etrac? Either that or one of the covers I see offered? What do you use?

    Which coil would you use for 90% of your hunting if you only had these two?

    Well guys, I only have the stock coil and I just got a brand new SEF 6x8 coil this past winter that I don't have any experience with on the Etrac. I've only used the stock so far with my Etrac for the past year. I only have one lower arm for now until I purchase another. So I have a choice...

    Big thanks to Big Boys Hobbies

    Big thanks to Big Boys Hobbies for getting me my new Garrett Pro Pointer. The one I had has experienced some "technical difficulties" that Garrett is taking care of. But I needed one fast to get back out there. Bart took good care of me and got me another one fast. Thanks Bart.

    Signal/Pinpointing question?

    So I'm at my buddies 1800's home today that I've hunted many many times now and I get signals from time to time that will give an intermittent high tone. Let me say that up front near the house there is a lot of old nails and other iron that I find. I have taken a few indians out of this area...

    Etrac and water

    So how far can the Etrac go in the water? I'm guessing right up to the connection to the housing.

    Silver signal.

    I've been doing ok with the Etrac, but tonight I had a weird signal that certainly wasn't screaming dig me.....Here's what I remember about the signal. I'm out tonight looking in the neighbors yard and I get this weird signal about 5" down. Kind of scratchy, but repeatable. I dig the plug and...

    Look what I found in my yard!

    Was searching my yard and got a strange signal.. I have loads of nails in my yard from a fire which burned the back of the 1800's home I live in back in the 70's. Both the buffalo and the 2c piece came out of the same hole along with some nails. You can see where one of the nails was resting...

    Pinpointing question??

    I'm still new to my Etrac and notice that sometimes when I have ended up with a coin I get pinpointing to work spot on, yet other times I seem to have the target visualized as to where the target should be, yet it may pinpoint off to the left or right a few inches and I get no signal where i...

    Franklin Halfs

    Is it true Franklin Halfs don't show up? It's not that they are lying around like zinc pennies, but why is it Franklin Halfs don't show up with the Etrac?. I haven't tried my Etrac on one yet so I know nothing about what it will or will not do with a Franklin half.

    Coins program

    Still brand new with my Etrac. The coins program has a black line in the upper right corner. I saw where that will discriminate silver dollars? So am I to understand you are to manually open up that area and then save it to my modes and take up one of the slots? Why would they do that...
