    Need an opinion about my Stealth Scoop

    We recently purchased a 61/2" Diamond head Stealth Scoop for water hunting. We live in the Mid-West and there is a lot of clay here at our swimming holes, and that is where my problems with the Diamond head stealth scoop if coming from. The diamond head has a pointed end on the scoop and in this...

    Now I'm Impressed!

    Went to a club sponsored buried coin hunt up on the Illinois, Iowa border this past week end. I have been waiting for this hunt to have a opportunity to put one of these CTX 3030's in my hands. The dealer that sold me my E-Trac was present as I knew he would be, and immediately he put one in my...

    Tesoro Tiger Shark

    I am looking to purchase a new fresh water detector as a back up and for my wife to use. We live in the Midwest and though I already own a Mine lab Excalibur II I would like a machine that was better at small gold and from what I read will find chains. The Excal is a little heavy and cumbersome...

    Toys for a Great Tot.

    The wife and I spent the winter in Florida this year, and made perhaps a half dozen trips to a verity of beach's. Out side of a few coins, a couple pieces of junk jewelry the finds were pretty scarce, except for 7 Toy trucks and cars. We went to a birthday party for our Great Grand son that...

    Not A Everyday Find

    I have had my E-Trac for over a year now, and have had to ask many questions of you folks and have fallowed the threads and learned quite a bit. To date I have found many silver and copper finds but have not posted any as I didn't feel any were all that great, but today my wife and I were...

    Cinders and Hot Rocks effect on E-Trac Depth

    I am a old school VLF Discriminator user. I hunt a old Court house lawn in my town and have every since the first VLF Discriminators came on the seen in the early 80's. Prior to these machines you just could not hunt this court house lawn as the cinders were so thick it created a virtual wall...

    Iron falsing on Excalibur II

    I purchased a new Excalibur II this past spring and really haven't had a lot of chances to use it as places to hunt in central Illinois are not to plentiful. We planned a camping trip to northern Illinois to hunt lake Michigan but storms up there over the 4th of July closed all the camp grounds...

    Can you help me identify this Unusual find in a not so unusual place

    Not at sure this is the correct place to make this post (if not please move to the correct part of the forum), but I could use some help identifying this obviously old object. My wife and I have been hunting this old golf course that closed down in 2009. It was named the Lincoln Trail Golf...

    10x12 EXcelorater Search Coil

    I recently had a opportunity to try a E-Trac with the 10x12 Excelorater Butterfly Search Coil. This was my first and only experience with this coil. The gentleman had it on another Minelab machine he owned when he ordered his E-Trac and was told it would work with his new machine so the dealer...

    How's traveling with your detector on Cruise ships?

    Have read a few horror stories about cruise lines not letting you board with your metal detector. In one case I read about they forced them to leave the detector on the dock till they returned from their cruise. Man would that mess up a perfect vacation. Can anyone fill me in on what to expect...

    Best Chain detector out there.

    This spring I will be replacing my old Tesoro Sting Ray water detector. It was a great gold detector and would pick up the smallest finest gold ear rings you can imagine. Only problem is that in the 15 years I owned it I never once found a gold chain with it. I recently found out my Mine Lab...

    Why I like the Quick Mask Program.

    First of let me say my favorite mode of operation with my E-Trac is the Mine Lab factory coin mode with a few modification's. I have been a owner of a E-Trac metal detector a very short time. In fact only since September of 2010, and while I must confess there are many functions on this...

    Excalibur and Gold Chains

    Just found out my E-Trac will not pick up on Gold Cains, and I mean no matter their size or gold content. I have tried it with a wide open screen (no discrimination of any kind) and nothing. Now Gold rings are a completely different story.all the way from the very smallest and finest rings up to...

    Last Metal Detecting Hunt for 2010

    Last Friday before all this gorgeous white stuff moved in we had a sunny 51 degree day. I should have stayed home and put up Christmas ornaments but my son and I decided to sneak in one more detecting day before winter really set in. I had a so - so day with one Silver Mercury dime 1936D, 4...

    Question on signal this past week end.

    The property my son and I are hunting dates to the early teens and so far we have found Wheaties (about 16 found so far in two trips) the earliest dating to 1910. Silver has been kind of scarce, as we have only found three Mercury dimes, and a very small silver heart shaped frat pin. It is a...

    A Happy & Safe Turkey Day to all.

    Need some help on which Digital Camera to buy.

    My wife and I are planning on buying a new digital camera, and I would like one that would take really good up close pictures. She bought me a new Cannon digital a couple years ago and it works fine for ever day photo's, but I just can't get good clear up close photo's of my finds. I see you...

    Not to bad a Sunday

    Sorry I don't have a good enough camera to post some pictures, as I would love to show you a little tiny silver heart shaped Frat Pin dated 1956 (measured about 1/4 inch x 1/4 inch) I found at 5 inch's with my E-Trac today. It read FE15/ CO 41-42, and did I ever have a tough time locating it...
