    Quick spin at the old school field.....

    With a high of 23 degrees today I decided to make a quick hunt at the old school field anyway. Same field I found the war nickel a week ago. In all I found some clad pennies, a dime, some trinkets, one wheat cent and an old copper catholic pendant. All the finds were made in the field with the...

    Hope to try this out over the weekend...

    It was delivered before Christmas,but I had to wait till Christmas to open it up and haven't tried it out yet. I got a 6" 3Khz Digger coil. Most of the places I hunt have areas that are somewhat to very trashy....alot of targets very close to and sometimes on top of one another. I know I miss...

    A short afternoon hunt gets me a first...

    I was able to cut outa work a bit early the other day with a quick hunt in mind. I ended up hunting a large field behind a local school for about two hours. I dug several coins and a small button. Right about the time I was getting ready to leave because it was getting dark, I dug another signal...

    The wife went to bed, so I quit thinking and just didi it.....

    I've always loved my 705. It was the machine that I found my first silver coin with a few years back and posted on this forum with excitement. The knowledge that I gathered from several of you guys here was indispensable in learning how to use that X-Terra and made me a better detectorist...

    Thinking of buying a new 705 because....

    I see where some have posted that they may pick up another used 705 due to the price drop. Right now with new units at $499....I'm probably going to order a new one to add to the one I already have. Any body else thinking about purchasing a new unit at these prices; or is everyone holding on to...

    Quick hunt this afternoon......

    Had the chance to make a quick one hour hunt this afternoon. Went to an old unoccupied house site that has produced some decent finds in the past. Nothing to yell about, but I didn't get skunked though........had a good time. Was able to pull five wheats, Alabama state tax token and what seems...

    Fresh water detector.....which one???

    Interested in maybe getting a fresh water detector. The Tesoro Tiger Shark and the Fisher 1280 X are the two that are currently in budget. Only have ever used or owned land machines. I am fully aware of the Tesoro warranty. But I would be interested in any opinions on these two detectors. Their...

    CZ-3D opinions....???

    I have become a bit interested in the CZ3D. I've never owned a Fisher of any kind. I've always been attracted to toggle and knob machines....thats why I own and really like the Sov. GT. I would like to hear some honest pros and cons on the 3D....what it's best suited for.....and I keep hearing...

    Old house site today...

    Hunted the yard of an old 90 year old house site today. Very trashy yard with a lot of iron. Pulled a few wheaties, an old state tax token, old jack, piece of jewelry(not silver) and some old shot gun brass. Also found an old ceramic Ball mason jar lid. The zinc part crumbled trying to recover...

    Today at an old house site

    Spent about 3 hours hunting the yard of an old house this morning. House is about 90 years old. The yard is VERY trashy with a lot of iron and nails. I put the X5 coil on and hunted in the stock relic mode in 4 Tone. WOW!!! While I found no silver.....it was amazing how I could see so many...

    2nd time out with the Etrac..........

    Today was better than my first trip........which was nothing but deep rusty nails. Not anything to jump over, 14 pennies, 1 dime, 1 quarter. Nothing old....3 or 4 1960's pennies. But it was a good time and I became more familiar with the Etrac. I hunted in the stock coin mode today, four tone...

    What really are the differences...?

    I'm sorry if this is a rather dumb question. But I am very curious. I have a Sov. GT, which unfortunately is out of production of course. My question is...what are the real differences between the Sov. GT and the Excalibur? Other than the obvious......underwater/water proof vs. not. I know...

    First day out with new Etrac

    Well, it's been two and a half to three weeks since I got the Etrac. Haven't been able to take it out due to working too much. It's been killing me.....but it gave me a bit of time to do some studying on this new machine. The day today was beautiful. Highs in the mid 40's, sunny with no wind. So...

    Etrac battery?

    I just received my new Etrac a few days ago and haven't had the time off work to take it out yet. I am wanting to go ahead and get a second battery for it for it though. I have a couple of questions.........One... I have read many past posts about the RNB lithium ion battery. Everyone seems to...

    Let me pinch myself.....

    I'm new to posting on this particular forum, but hopefully that will change soon. I've been using the Xterra 705 and GT for a while now and have had pretty good success. But have been wanting to step it up a notch and get an Etrac. Well.......just ordered one from Bart:clap: I look forward to...

    I really would like some input/opinions from those of you who have used one. What is your opinions on the 6" Coiltek Treasure Seeker sniper coil for the Etrac. This is the first time I've posted over on the Etrac side.....I think. I don't have one........YET. Probably gonna bite that bullet REAL...

    First trip with GT this morning

    I finally took the new GT out this morning. I went to an old school yard that has been beat really hard over the years,but good place to try it out because it's not super trashy. I set it with notch and disc. at furthest point counter clock wise. Set threshold, ran it in silent search and...

    Todays hunt at old house

    Got to hunt the yard of an old house this afternoon. Spent a couple of hours hunting mostly the front yard. The back yard was a "trash nightmare". Full of cans, bottle caps, nails and all things that make your detector go beep beep beep beep beep beep beep.....and beeeeeeep:lol:! I had hoped to...

    Lower shaft wiggle?

    I've got a question about my new GT. My lower shaft has a wiggle in it. What I mean is that the lower shaft will slightly twist back and forth in the upper rod. I have the cam lock twisted as tight as it will lock but the lower rod still has this play in it. I know that this does not effect...
