    Which seperation mode do you use with heavy discrimination?

    I mainly hunt using the factory stock silver program with the combined tones and the high trash separation mode. I have another mode that I use for heavy trash areas that have a lot of low/mid tones. This other mode is heavily discriminated. Do you guys find that the heavy discrimination...

    How to change the Tone ID profile on the detector from combined to Conductive

    Hi. Just curious if you guys know how to change the tone ID profile without using exchange. I have a pattern that is currently using combined profiles and I would like to change it to the conductive tones. I can't seem to do this on the detector.

    Big Silvers at the Old Park

    Haven't been out in a few weeks, so I was itching to go detecting. Did some online research and found an older area of a park here in Pittsburgh that looked promising. Got to the park and decided to hit an old grove for a few minutes while I waited on my buddy to show up. I walked around for...

    Found my 1st ever 1/2 dollar on Monday, Saturday I found another!!

    Got out for a few hours on Saturday at the old park that I found my half dollar on Labor Day. I had been there only 5 minutes and the first target I dip turns out to be a '37 Walker!! I honestly thought it was going to be clad. It was only 5" deep. Rounded out the day with a '47 Rosie and a...

    Got out for a couple of hunts over Labor Day Weekend. Got a first for me!!

    Got out for a couple of hunts over the weekend. Saturday I managed to squeeze out a lone Mercury dime. Sunday, I went to a new spot with the 17" coil and dug some deep silver. As soon as I got there, I dug a wheat penny at 10", so I figured that there had to be some deep silver that was...

    Finds from the old fairground

    Went out to an old fairground that dates back to the 1870s. Ended up with 3 keepers and a ton of Wheaties. No old silver and no Indians, but a good hunt. Definitely want to go back and try again. With an open screen, there were 8-10 targets per sweep, so it was very slow going. The mercury...

    Personal Best Silver Day For Me This Weekend

    I was able to get out for some long hunts this weekend and headed to the old Pittsburgh parks to meet up with some friends. I was using the 17" coil because for me it seems to hit more solidly on the deeper coins with a better TID/tone. Saturday, I started out with a 1945 Merc at about 5". A...

    A very special first for me and a shocking surface find!

    Headed out early Saturday morning to hunt with some good friends. We went to an old park that was fairly small (compared to what we usually hunt). Wayne found a Mercury dime right off the bat, a 1916 with no mint mark. Joe found a couple of Indians. I got a jumpy signal with a good tone...

    My First Dime Trifecta

    Had to entire day to hunt yesterday. Met up with a buddy in the morning and hit a small park for an hour or so before a lady called the cops. We had every right to be there, but the chief of police asked us if we would mind moving locations. Apparently the lady was on the town council and...

    After having to go back to the Etrac for a couple of weeks, just curious...

    Finds from the old house (bells, skull, silver, Indian)

    I got permission to hunt a house that dates back the the late 1800s. Hunted it over a 2 day period. The first day, I found a few wheats, an Indian, and an old Skeleton Key. Went back and found the sleigh bell that dates back to the late 1800s/early 1900s, a junk ring that has a skull/alien...

    Ultimate 13" vs. SEF 10x12

    Just curious, if you have used both of these coils, which do you prefer? Why? I have both of them, just got the 10x12 and just wanted some real world feedback on both of these coils. I have been using the Ultimate mostly, but curious how it stacks up to the 10x12. Thanks a lot!!!

    Hey everyone, what is your "GO TO" coil???

    Since there are so many aftermarket coils available for the Etrac, I was just curious what everyone's "GO TO" coil is and why?? I actually have two. At old home sites or really trashy parks, I use my SEF 6x8. Great Separation, Good Depth. I really like this little coil. It seems to really...

    Is this damaged pixels?????

    I powered up my machine yesterday morning and noticed a dark gray line coming down from the upper left hand corner of the screen. It is there regardless of what is showing up on the screen (menu, detect screen, etc...). I emailed a pic to Minelab within 24 hrs I got a RMA number and a prepaid...

    Hunting an old Farm House

    Went door knocking today to get on some fresh ground. First 3 houses, no one was home, but the 4th house gave me to all clear to do some hunting. This particular house was about 150 years old, so I had visions of seated coins, barbers, SLQs, etc... Decided to leave the Etrac in the car and...

    CTX auto sensitivity levels?

    Hi all. I was out with the CTX and the Etrac tonight comparing signals. I noticed that in auto +3, my Etrac was at level 19. At auto +3, my CTX was at 10. I have noticed that my CTX always runs at a very low auto +3 sensitivity level. I have also noticed that I haven't been getting signals...

    CTX finally hit on some silver!

    Went out to a buddies house yesterday for some detecting. My 2nd trip out with the CTX. His house was built in the 30s and has a huge front yard. Right off the bat I found 3 wheat pennies. Spent a few hours semi-gridding the yard. Ended up with a 1910 Barber dime (my first Barber dime), 6...
