    Big silver

    So, my dad passed away a month ago. I'm sitting here with the covid going through my dads coin collection. I find this hugh coin. 1/2 lb of .999 fine silver. Even though my dad is not here any more he can still make me laugh. The other coin is a silver dollar just for a size comparisons. Kevin...

    I really need an 8" coil for the CTX.

    I really need an 8" coil for the CTX. Need more depth than the 6" coil can give me. This is hunting in junky areas. The 11" is to big to get a decent signal. Why don't somebody try to put the chip from a Ctx coil into an Etrac 8" coil? I don't even know if this is possible or not. Does...

    Etrac bootup issues

    Took the Etrac out last weekend and it now has an issue booting up. You press the power button and it does not go through the whole boot up process. It makes the song for a split second then right to the detect screen. After it boots up all other buttons work except the back light. If you hold...

    Who does the wiggle wiggle?

    You get a crappy silver tone with iron. Center the coil over the signal. Do 10-15 short 1/4 to 1/2 inch wiggles over the signal and see if it comes in berrer. A lot of times I get a good signal and good numbers. I dug a 1928 canadian dime last weekend by doing this. It rang up a 35:44 after...

    1-10 pattern got me one of the most detailed mer's i have ever got.

    I used the 1-10 pattern today and got a nice 1943 merc. I've been getting out of the parks and finding old foundations on state land. I found the merc 5 feet from the truck. Searched the area 3 hours and no other coins. I ran the equinox 800 after the etrac and only found junk.

    6 by 8 sef coil

    Just got the 6 by 8 sef coil with all the positive reviews. I was messing around in my back yard with a 9 inch mercury dime. I can hit it with the 6 by 8 sef coil. The swing speed has to be perfect or you get nothing. Swing speed needs to be 4 seconds left to right.. On the other hand the s-12...
