    ctx coils

    Anyone thinking they will be able to use their generic Etrac coils eg Coiltek on this machine are going to be upset, even with a lead extension the electronics are different plus they have a special waterproof connection. It has put me off buying one! seeya neilo

    Detector needs a clock in it as well

    GPS idea is great I have been lost out in forest before now. I think a clock would also be very useful.How many times have you been detecting a park and find your time is up on a parking meter. When detecting time flies you are so absorbed in what you are doing, a clock is just another idea...

    New Fisher Gold Bug 2

    I just bought a new Fisher Gold Bug 2 with 6 1/2 inch coil There was no protective skid plate on the coil. I contacted Fisher Labs and asked if this was normal but as yet have had no reply. The Skid Plate retail at $7US surely they can include one when you have just spent over $700 buying a...

    GMT Does It Again

    Today I took my GMT out to some old diggings and had a detect over the mullock heaps. Some of the heaps were highly mineralised and I was pleased to be able to find some small gold and also some pin head sized pieces. I am always amazed by this great machine and its ability to search out tiny...

    More Micro Gold with Exterra 70

    I went out today going over some old diggings. I managed to score 4 tiny bits total weight 0.2 grams. A friend of mine was there using his GP4500 with a 6 inch coiltek coil. I got a signal and before I dug it I called him over to see if he could pick it up with his machine. No it would not pick...

    Exterra 70 micro gold

    I went out today over some diggings which have mild mineralisation and I was able to find 3 small nuggets total weight 0.2 grms one piece in particular was so tiny it was only half the size of a pinhead. I was using the Machine at maximum sensitivity.Maximum volume, Threshold down to 2, running...

    Coins on edge

    I did some comparisons to readings on my Etrac to my Explorer. A typical coin reading was Ferrous 12 conductivity 37 on the Etrac. If the coin was deeper the number went to 14 ferrous conductivity 37. But if the coin was still shallow and standing on edge or even slanting the number changed...

    The 12 Ferrous Line.

    Do you think Minelab have done the right thing concentrating most common targets on the 12 Ferrous line? I know the range has been expanded to 50 but when you get trash coming out on the same line it means you have a lot more targets squashed into a smaller area. On the Explorer a rubbish...

    X1 Probe on Etrac.

    I have recently bought an Etrac and have fitted my Sunray X1 probe to it from my old Explorer 2. For some reason when I use discriminate mode on the probe it blanks out the target. If I turn on pinpoint mode which is all metal, it finds the target with no problems. It seems as thought the probe...

    Low And Slow.

    I have been an Explorer owner for about eight years and have lashed out and bought the E trac. My level of finds have gone backwards, but I am convinced it is only teething problems and in time I will make up for lost ground. I was out yesterday detecting a park with a freind who was using his...

    program for recently lost coins and jewelry

    Hi i am in Aussie and all of our coins are in the 12 ferrous range, as is gold rings etc. Silver rings come out at a lower ferrous number but a high conductivity number.I hunt for recently lost shallow targets where there is little variation in the numbers. So I contructed a pattern which...

    Gold nuggets and gold rings on Etrac

    Today I set up 30 gold rings and a couple of gold nuggets to see what position on the screen and what digital number they would come up at. I was surprised to find that they all came up as being 12 ferrous and were all detectable on the standard coin mode. The nuggets, one weighed 22grams...

    seperating conductive targets

    I have watched the MLOTV showing how well the Etrac ignores ferrous targets. The swing speed no matter how fast picked up the non ferrous target, my question is if there are two or more non ferrous targets close together will you get seperate signals for each item. I know when I use the...

    New coils for Xterras

    There is a story going round of new coils for the exterras to be released soon. Is this fact or fantasy. There are obvious gaps in the coil choice eg a 10 inch DD eliptical 7khz would be a good one for getting into tight spots for coins. Another good choice would be a lighter 10 inch DD round...

    Xterra 70 and Whites Gmt

    Today I took my Whites GMT and Exterra 70 to some very hot ground in the gold feilds to see how each compared. I took 2 test nuggets one about point one of a gram and the other about half this size. The ground is very mineralised with hot rocks and conglomerate. I first tried the whites using...

    The 10 1/2 inch DD coil

    Has anyone used the 10 1/2 inch dd coil how does it compare to the standard 9 inch concentric coil. I am only interested in using it for coin hunting. I have the standard coil on my machine but find it only covers a small area which would be lucky to be 6 inches across. I was thinking about...
