    Rain made me part the Etrac and bring out the MXT = Gold

    I got out Saturday AM and since it was raining took my MXT with me. I had not used my MXT much lately but did not want to get the etrac wet. 15 minutes into the hunt I got only one signal at a volleyball court and it was a 14Kt gold band. I forgot how great a detector the MXT is, especially on...

    First Generation Excalibur

    I have an opportunity to purchase an original 1990 era Excalibur that has not been used for 10 years. It is the kind with the horseshoe shaped coil. It will be very cheap. Will this be a good saltwater beach detector or should I hold out for an Excalibur II.

    MXT vs Etrac Part II

    I have been running my etrac now almost exclusively at parks and in several months of having it I have not found a signal gold. I took my MXT out of retirement and hit a tot lot and Bang....10K gold childs ring. MXT does it again. It really likes the gold.

    MXT vs Etrac at the Beach

    I finally got a chance to run my MXT and Etrac at several FL beaches. I was curious what the Etrac would do since I had never run it before. I spent a total of 12 hours hunting and the beaches were really sanded in. I would walk miles and hit an occasional zincoln and virtually no trash...

    FIrst Three Silvers of 2011

    have made a couple of commando hunts this week and today managed to spend another couple of hours at a park near Greensboro on my way back from my business trip. What a great stop. I managed to hit three silvers (#1, #2, #3 for the year) and a bunch of coins. I also hit some tot lots during...

    First Necklace

    I got out to a couple sites today for about an hour and also had a couple of quick hunts earlier in the week. I managed to find two more costume rings and my first necklace. Unfortunately it was Avon plated but it really looked good coming out of the ground. Metal Detecting First Necklace...

    4th Silver with Etrac

    I have been doing 30 minute commando hunts all week and got in about three. I hit an older site, a soccer field and some tot lots. Most of the hunting was with the MXT and it didn't let me down. I cleaned out the tot lot for a bunch of clad. I had about an hour tonight and hit a soccer field...

    Tiffany & Co. 18K Ring

    A coworker this AM told me his neighbor lost his wedding band at a park. I decided to run over there real quick since I would not be able to get out until Friday or Saturday. It took about 25 minutes but I nailed it! I got lucky. I was walking back to the car to get a bigger coil and new...

    MXT Finds 2000 Year Old Coin at Seeded Hunt...4 Years Later!

    I went to the SC seeded club hunt today. I had a great time digging Silver, Indians etc but did not expect to find a 2000 year old Roman (?) coin. Apparently it had been planted 4 years ago during a previous club hunt but due to it's tiny size no one found it. The MXT found it while every...

    MXT Loves the Gold-2nd Gold Ring this Week

    I headed out early this AM to a spot I have hit many times but is very trashy. I have been talking about trying to dig gold signals and seeing my buddy's new Fisher GoldBug I thought today was the day. I went to an area I had killed and started digging 16-40 VDI signals on the MXT. After...

    Most Bizarre Deja Vu MD Experience and Oldest Silver Too

    I hit my usual spot this Saturday Morning for about 2.5 hours. I was hitting mostly clad and Lincoln's until I pulled a broken toy gun handle. I proceeded to hit a new spot about 100 yards and across the street from where I found the gun. I got another signal and flipped the plug. No way...

    Question on EXP II ..When to dig

    I bought a used Explorer II and have been trying to learn it. I used the Learn mode and scanned in a bunch of coins. I went to a trashy site and am getting a lot of high pitched signals that are coming in 21 30 or something like this. I usually only dig 00 30 but my question is should I...

    MXT Rocking the Silver II

    I met up with Troy at old faithful and told him to pick the spot since he hit silver the last time out. Went to an area that I was sure was hunted to death. We both started off fairly slow. After a while we started hitting clad. With Tstorms and rain threatening we were trying to get as...

    MXT Rocking the Silver

    Headed out after work today to meet Troy again at Old Faithful. When I got there Justin, Curt, Tim and others were out there hitting the wet ground. I just new it was going to be a good day. My first find came in as an 81 and was about 5" deep. I saw the edge and new it was a silver dime but...

    MORE GOLD THIS WEEK. The MXT is Killer!

    I just got the MXT Edge book you all recommended in a previous post and read the first few chapters. I had 30 minutes to kill so I thought I would run over to the Volley Ball court near my house to test a few of the ground balancing programs. I searched the entire court with my 10x12 SEF coil...

    Beach Vacation - 4 Rings (1 Gold, 2 Silver)

    I spent the week in SC with my family and was able to get to the beach four times for about 2 hours each. The first day out I managed a sweet 14K wedding band and silver ring. I then pulled another silver ring on day two and finally a big costume ring on day 3. Day 4 was a 10pm hunt at low...

    MXT with 10x12 SEF or Super 12

    I ended up with both coils for me MXT. I very seldom use the Super 12. Any recommendation on where to use the coils? Are they redundant? What are the differences?

    First Day with Explorer II

    Just got a used EXP II from one of our club members who upgraded to a SE Pro. I thought i would give it a try. I was extremely frustrated by the machine and gave up on it and went back to my MXT. After a couple of hours at a very trashy site with lots of digging, I thought I would try the...
