    New NEL Storm Coil - Cord and Ground Balancing Question

    I received a NEL Storm coil for my e-Trac for Christmas, and with the good weather I am headed out to try it. In the packaging it indicated I should turn my sensitivity to 50% when doing my ground balancing, and then increase the sensitivity to the desired setting when beginning to detect. I...

    Pennsylvania Gold and the FBI

    I know this doesn't have anything to do with the eTrac, but I found it to be an interesting read. It goes right along with treasure hunting. I also thought about floodplaindetector when I was swinging my machine yesterday. He should look over his shoulder, as the FBI might just start...

    Property Pins

    Has anyone ever used the eTrac for finding property pins? I think I found out that this is the absolute wrong tool for the job. I have tried three times at three different locations for three different people. I open up the discrimination pattern, as I believe the iron pins will scream. The...

    Sentimental Gold Ring

    We finally had some good moisture in the ground, so I went to a location in a residential area last Friday. I don't use headphones, so my tones were being noticed by some individuals in the area. After about a half hour a woman walks up and asks if my detector can find gold. I informed her it...

    Gold Ring=No / Coins=Yes

    A while back I asked for advice regarding the finding of a gold ring using my E-trac. The area wasn't real large, probably the size of half of a basketball court. I've probably been to the site a dozen times since posting (1 to 2 hours a hunt). I dug all signals in the area and found many...

    Last two Hunts - Lipstick and Silver

    I had a chance to get out on Sunday afternoon and yesterday evening. On Sunday, I found the TABU/Dana lipstick holder. It is 24 karat gold plated. Unfortunately, it is dented on the back and I am unable to open the container. The lipstick container is from the 1940's. I also found a...

    Modern Chinese Coin

    I have been hunting public locations now for about three years. Today I found my first Chinese coin. It rang up as a 41 on the conductive side, and it was approximately 3 inches deep. I looked it up on the web and found it is worth 2 fen. I assume that is like 2 cents. The interesting thing...

    Gold Ring Question

    Approximately three years ago I was hunting in an area, and one of the local residents informed me a ring was lost in the general location (she couldn't recall how long ago the ring was lost). At the time, I had a detector that could detect about three inches deep at the max. I have since...

    Coin Garden - Oops

    I planted my coin garden about a week ago, and wanted it to settle before I took out the eTrac. I went out this evening and found something very odd. I placed all of my coins flat in the hole, and at a depth of 8 inches (one of the coins was a silver half so there is a large target area). I...

    Coin Garden Question

    I am ready to plant my garden in the yard. I have a good collection of worn coins that will work perfect for this task. I plan on putting them in at the following depths: Franklin Half - 9 inches Washington Quarter (silver) - 8 inches Standing Liberty Quarter - 9 inches Roosevelt Dime...

    Friday Hunt

    I had a great Friday night hunt. It started with a silver ring that rang up like a quarter. It was only three inches deep so I don't know how old it is. It does have the number "925" on the inside, so I know it is sterling silver (does anyone know how long they have been inscribing that on...

    Silver Half Question - First Post

    I purchased my e-Trac last summer and had the opportunity to get familiar with the detector last summer and fall. This is my first post to this forum, but I have been following it since mid-fall to get pointers and also to see everyone's finds. It is always fun checking to see what is found...
