    Diggin the tabs

    Went hunting for more silver this morning but was getting some severe EMI for some reason. I moved to another part of the park and foung it to be a pulltab junkyard. After digging a couple dozen, to get the tab tone imprinted in my mind, I started digging tones which were lower than the tabs...

    Couple after work hunts

    I managed a couple quick after work hunts this week with the GT. I hate this time of year, Sunday we set the clocks back, dark when you get off work. The first night I dug the barber and the merc. The second night I dug the old bus token. I haven't researched it yet too see how old it might be.

    1st Silver Dollar

    I got off work a little early today, so I went back to where Ive been using the GT to coax silver out of the dirt. My first target, aside from the numerous zincolns, was an old lipstick capsule (at least I think that's what it is). I was pretty sure my next signal, about three feet away from...

    A little silver from the dirt

    Was a little too chilly to go to the lake this weekend, so I took the GT to the park and managed to free some silver from the dirt. I love the sovereign for silver hunting but have found that the deep pulltabs (8"+) will mimic a deep silver signal, where as I never had this with the etrac. I'm...

    A little silver and copper had to save the day

    Made it out for a while today. Fantastic day, high eighties, plenty of sun, but no gold. The GT picked up the copper ring early and the little silver ring right before we headed out for the day.

    First lake hunt with the new GT

    Finally made it out to the lake with the new sovereign Sunday. Went to one end of the beach, started sweeping and hit four tabs a nickel in a small area. My next target was a super smooth low tone and before I scooped it, I was guessing a lead fishing weight. When I kicked the pile of sand from...

    Problem turning on the GT

    Made it to a freshwater beach this weekend with my new GT. When I got there I turned the volume switch on and the machine wouldn't power on. I thought great, I left the volume switch on and the battery is dead. I switched out the battery pack with the alkaline pack and same problem, the machine...

    sovereign/excal audio tones

    Are these two machines similar enough that if you learned the audio tones on one, you would be just as proficent with the other?

    Todays Lake Hunt

    Had the day off today and headed for the lake. The ETrac managed to sniff out these two beauties (along with a couple handfulls of :pulltab: I swung all day yesterday at the park and half the day today at the lake was all I could take. Im gonna have to look into one of those harnesses for these...

    Pitch Hold

    Can someone explain when and what settings would be benificial using pitch hold? Is it better used in audio such as two tone ferrous rather than conductive? Ive read in Andys book that very deep coins have been found at the edge of detection depth using pitch hold, anyone have any luck with this...

    ETrac audio "clunk"

    Ive seen a few posts that refer to the audio "clunk" that the etrac occassionally makes and have heard it when using a borrowed etrac. Does this audio clunk signify something or is it just an anomally of the software the etrac uses?

    Well,after a couple seasons of swinging another detector Ive made the move to the ETrac.Hope to have it in a couple weeks but with the weather going south probably wont be able to run it till spring.I just got Andy's book and have some serious reading to do.It looks like I need to empty my head...

    Silver before the snow

    I made it out to my favorite park before we got hit with some light snow.Forecast is calling for mid 50s tommorrow,so hopefully the weekend will cooperate.I was running my usual settings for this area in 3 freq best data.RX 14,Disc 85,5 band,RD 90 and swinging like my grandma,as some like to...

    Frequency/Target Difference

    I was at the park again after work tonight and got a jumpy VDI in the 60s.The target pinpointed hardest in the 7.5 frequency and turned out to be a wheat penny pulled from about 6".Before I got it dug out of the hole all the way (but very close to it) the DX1 was still hitting hardest in 7.5.I...

    After work silver

    Got in a quick hunt for about two hours after work before the rain started.Ive been hitting the same park and have been getting away with running my sensitivities pretty high.It started out with some late 60s clad,the deep kind that gets your hopes up.Then a couple deep,slightly higher VDIs...

    Silver smilely with copper fillings

    I recieved my D2s from Whites recently after sending them in and managed some time at a local park sunday.The grass in this park is killing me,its keeping my coil a constant 2-4 inches from the ground even with some down pressure.So that with the 7-8 inches of actual depth in the ground tells me...

    Morning Hunt to Beat the Heat

    Made a quick morning hunt to beat the heat today.Im starting to like this 6X10 coil a little more each time I use it.I got six wheats and a barber dime (along with a pile of clad of course),before I made my retreat from the heat and bikers for the day.

    Pounding the Park

    I made it back to the park Ive been pounding this past weekend.While the targets are getting harder to find,they are still there,it just takes a more methodical search to coax them out.I switched from the D2 to the 6X10 to get a little better separation.The 6X10 kinda surprised me when it...

    Couple more from the park

    The oldies are getting harder to find,but managed to pull a couple more tonight from the park under construction.The rain and snow weve had lately has kept the construction company from making any further progress,so hopefully it'll dry out soon and they can get back under way.Hunting these...

    Park Silver

    Made it to a park under some construction this weekend.They spread the soil back out over the holes they dug,which can make for some really jumpy VDIs on good targets (kind of like testing a detector over a freshly buried coin).Last year I tried to test my V over a freshly buried silver quarter...
