    WS4 battery change?

    The battery life on my WS4 back phones is getting shorter and shorter. How difficult is it to replace it? Also, where is the best place to order the battery from? Thanks! Dean

    Deus Fast Mode Hunt

    This past Sunday I took the Deus with 9" HF coil to a very trashy old home site. I've hit this site before with the Nox 800 about four our five times and my buddy hit it once with a CTX. Lots of EMI as there are power lines on two sides of the lot. I hunted in Deus Fast, 30 kHz (seemed to handle...

    First hunt with HF coil and CDs Pitch Program

    Today I hit the homestead where I recovered the Eagle "I" coat button. I used my new to me 9" HF coil (thanks, Gene!) and hunted with Calabash's Pitch program in 28 kHz the whole three hours. Awesome! I also looked for my Oakley sunglasses that I lost there on Sunday but they were not to be...

    Control module covers?

    I got one of the silicone control module covers and realized in the first 5 minutes it wasn't going to work for me. It is very protective but attracts dust/dirt badly and is near impossible to see through. I live in AZ and hunt in dry, dusty conditions in bright sun most of the time. Any...

    My first Deus hunts!

    Got out to an old homestead for my first two hunts with my new to me Deus this weekend. Used the 9" LF coil with 5.0 loaded. Mostly hunted with Calabash's pitch program and Sifter modified to the site. Very impressed with the Deus! I got along well with it's tones. I've been a multi-tones fan...

    Smooth audio question

    I was watching a couple of Gordon Heritedge's (sp?) videos from a few years back and he likes using smooth audio. I've tried it a few times and didn't care for it. What got me about the videos was the tones. It seems the low smooth tones were the good targets and the higher pitched ones were not...

    6" Excelerator Finds

    I bought a new to me 6" Detech Excelerator coil for working trashy sites. I took it out this afternoon to a Indian Wars era site that we have pounded with numerous machines. It is super trashy in some spots and that is where I went. I was very impressed with the little coil's ability to separate...

    Anybody use the NEL Snake on their E-TRAC? If so, what are your thoughts on this coil? Thanks! Dean

    Smooshed "V" Nickel

    I found this very altered "V" Nickel at an old mine site this afternoon using the 8x6 SEF coil and 4TF. It would appear that they used it as a washer or shim. It is slightly concave and, as you can see, something heavy laid upon it at some point putting deep grooves in it. I thought it was a...

    Railroad Relic Finds with E-Trac

    I went to one of the most iron littered spots that I know of to grind it out with the E-trac for about two hours. I figured that if I can find anything good here then I can hunt with it anywhere. I have used three different Nokta machines here including the Impact and the Garrett AT-Gold. All of...

    First two hunts with the E-TRAC.

    I'm very impressed! Wish I had got an E-TRAC a long time ago. Like any machine, it has it's strengths and weaknesses. Certainly, an FBS unit should be a part of everybody's arsenal. So, after much studying, I programed Johnnyanglo's 4TF " Just The Good Stuff" pattern in and Goes4ever's 2TF...

    New to the E-Trac

    I'm new to the E-TRAC ...not new to detecting or Minelab detectors. Mostly hunt with a GPX for nuggets but have other VLFs as well. Old home sites/camps when not nugget shooting. I hunt in heavy iron and from the reading I've been doing here it seems like 4TF is the way to hunt these kind of...

    Short Hunt with AT-Gold

    Took the AT-Gold to an old mining camp this afternoon. I chose the AT because the weather was threatening rain. I used the small 8x5" coil as the place is littered with iron trash. I was able to detect about an hour and a half until the rain came down in buckets and I had to call it quits...

    Coil compatibility?

    I see that the Max will be able to use the other AT coils. My question is can the AT - Gold use the same coil as the AT -Pro? Thanks. Dean

    More Impact rail yard finds

    I took the Impact and a new to me AT-Gold back to the old rail yard that dates back to the late 1800s and was closed down around the mid 1920s. The area is super trashy so small coils and quick machines work best. I recently traded for a AT-Gold for it's water proof capabilities and decided to...

    Copper Steam Engine Part?

    This ones for all you railroad buffs. I found this at an old railroad spur where a narrow gauge steam engine use to off load ore from a mine. Any ideas? It's solid copper...you can see the copper showing through where I hit it. Even the mangled threads are copper. ??? [attachment 347389...

    What Era Button is This?

    I found this button in Az. at a site that has turned up the classic Eagle "C" buttons. Post Civil War I'm guessing 1880s. "Indian Wars" era. I find Spencer cases as well as the early transitional primed cases here. round balls and three ringers. Anyway, I can't seem to find much about this...

    A Day Out With The Impact

    I took my Impact to a few different spots on Thursday and had a productive and relaxing day. The weather is getting a bit warm here in Northern AZ. so I started early and down lower in the high desert and then worked my way up to higher elevation as the day went winding up at about 6,000+ ft. in...

    Impact Hunt Observations/Thoughts

    I took the Impact and my buddy took his CTX3030 to one of the toughest spots I know of yesterday for a hunt. We were blessed with perfect Northern Arizona weather up in the mixed conifers and well enough off of the beaten path that there were no holiday weekend "intruders". The place is an old...
