    REALLY disappointed with the NEL Sharpshooter coil...

    NOT because of performance, it seems to perform OK, but because it's such a B1TCH to put on the detector. The coil wire is twice the thickness of the Minelab coil wire and easily twice as stiff. I got the NEL Sharpshooter coil in May with my new E-Trac, I have used it twice and it has been a...

    Who else uses E-Trac Manager?

    I do and I like it a LOT better than Xchange. Hey Mods/Admin, could we get a forum for this program? It would be great to have an area to exchange ideas and info on E-Trac Manager with other users.

    E-Trac beach finds... FIRTS E-Trac SILVER, I LOVE this machine!!

    I've got about 18 hours on the E-Trac now and I an truly impressed with this beauty. I got to do a couple hours on the beach yesterday while visiting some friends who are in town for the week at their condo. I downloaded Des Dunne's beach pattern, programmed his mode and preferences settings...

    Conduct Vs Ferrous :confused:

    Hi y'all! So just what exactly happens differently between these tow modes? I tried searching and didn't find much on it, maybe didn't have the right keywords. In other words, leaving all settings the same and using the same pattern but switching between Conduct and Ferrous, what differences...

    Multiple crosshairs on disply?

    Used my E-Trac today with the Sharpshooter coil today (I love that little coil) and just happened to notice that at some points I was seeing more than one crosshair on the pattern display (I was in a pretty open screen) and the numbers were jumping. Turns out there were two targets very close...

    Now that I've got an E-Trac, how can I keep using the Sov? By WATERPROOFING IT!

    So my new E-Trac will be in Today or tomorrow, and I don't want to retire the Sov Elite so I think I will look at putting it into a waterproof housing that can stan a dunking to a couple feet once in a while. I think I make a long straight shaft to start with and either mount the box at the end...

    It's coming........:hot:

    Well... I DID IT!! A brand new E-TRAC with the 11 inch Pro coil is on its way my way thanks to Rich at Colonial Metal Detectors. He made me a KILLER deal! Also getting a Samson 31 inch serrated T Handle digger, a Minelab Pro Find 25 pinpointer, a NEL Sharpshooter 9x5 DD coil, and a rain cover...

    WOW! Did I miss the bell?

    Is class out? Hasn't been a new post in here in days... I just found out I "MAY" be able to swing getting my E-Trac sooner than I thought, so I am watching this forum closely hoping to glean any tidbits of knowledge I can.

    Quickmask Vs Smartfind screens...?:confused:

    I am NOT looking for "what is the difference between the two?" but rather I am looking for a more technical answer as to what is going on differently INSIDE the machine between the two. Given a wide open screen in both, with the settings the same in preferences and mode and just switching...

    Sovereign (Analog) Sounds Vs E-Trac (Digital) Sounds...

    OK, I don't really know how to phrase this but here goes a try... I will be transitioning over from a Sovereign Elite when I do finally get my E-Trac. From what I've seen (heard) in the videos, listened to on the E-Trac Emulator, and experienced on my buddy's E-Trac (for about 45 minutes), I...

    I think I have an Exclusive VIP ALL Access pass to a Ghost Town!! TURNS OUT I DO!!! :surprised:

    I've started a thread over at another forum about getting access to a very cool site. I think I have an Exclusive VIP ALL Access pass to a Ghost Town!! I've been researching Ghost Towns in my area and have found a few within day-trip distance (we live in an RV so we can just drive it there for...

    First water hunt of '13 is in the books!

    Hit the Bikini Beach Resort today, did 4 hours in the water (it was a bit brutal for the first hunt of the year) and 2 hours on the dry sand. All in all I did pretty well, even got a chain and ring. I think the chain and the ring are junk because they are all corroded but I'll look them over...

    Disc and Notch on the Sov Elite

    Could someone please help me? I know I am overthinking the matter... How does the notch and disc work on the Sov ELITE? Could someone explain it so maybe the "lightbulb" will come on for me? I usually hunt the beach and leave notch and disc at "0", hunt in ALL METAL mode with max sensitivity...

    Waterproof MXT Pro?? :yo:

    I had heard that White's was considering a waterproof TDI but had shelved that idea. Maybe they could do a waterproof MXT Pro instead? Who else wants this?

    Panama City Beach WEBCAMS

    I just put together 2 files, a .kmz and a .gpx of 10 webcam locations in Panama City Beach along the beach. This will provide you with GPS coordinates, views of LIVE webcams, and links to each of the cams all in one neat little package. I can't upload them to the forum but if they interest...

    That Sovereign of mine surprises me everytime I take it out...

    Sorry y'all, this is a couple days old. I got it done and posted almost everywhere, but we lost our WiFi and so I had to wait for the WiFi to settle down and work before I finally could get it posted... Rita, Speedy and I all went to the "Dog Beach" here and Speedy got to play and meet other...

    Buy a GREAT SCOOP once or a cheap one over and over...

    OK, guys, I have had 4 other scoops before I got my 720... one of them I added a long handle to when I got into water hunting. This failed miserably since I had no idea the stresses that water hunting puts on a scoop. When I started detecting I knew I would be a beach hunter 90 - 95 % of the...

    The Sovereign chalks up another Lost My Stuff success story!!

    The story starts out 3 days ago, I was out at Pineapple Willy's with the Surf PI and the new Stealth 720. I had just done a grueling 4-1/2 hour hunt in the rough choppy water. My plan was to give myself a real workout with the new scoop in bad conditions, I succeeded! I came up out of the...

    WOW!!! Sunspot and Chuck make a GREAT PRODUCT!!!

    I have to say that this was one of the best transactions I have ever been involved with. Not to knock Rich and CMD - he's great to deal with too - I have to say that I am totally pleased with my Sunspot Stealth 720 scoop. I contacted Chuck's company on a Friday afternoon and they had 2 scoops...
