    Weekend hunts x2

    Well I went out Saturday and Sunday with the 8" loop. Saturday was at an old school and adjacent 250 year old foundation. Both have been picked over for many years but my gut tells me there is still good treasure to be found. The area is grown in and littered with tons of trash. I think the...

    Hunt with my son yields 3 silver.

    As you may have seen in my earlier post I went out with my 13 year old son today. He has never used any detector other than the $30 type. I let him use my old White's Eagle while I used my Etrac. We spent about 1 1/2 hrs in some matted down tall grass at an old playground. In between showing...

    Great Day, my son's first silver EVER!!

    My 13 year old son and I went out detecting today. I let him use one of my older machines, a White's Eagle II SL. Previously he had been using one of those entry level (real entry) detectors. Today was the day to step up with the big boys. I haven't used that machine since last year when I...

    silver ring, dime

    Today I hunted a beach area that I hit last week for 75 coins in one day. I know, I know, not dirt diggin', but for possible jewelry and some silver it's worth it. Today I was rewarded with 30 coins for 3.5 hrs hunting. Of that 30 I found another nice silver Claddagh ring, this one has a stone...

    Which Killer Bee's?

    Christmas is coming and Santa needs to know what should be under the tree. I see that there are several models of the killer bee's and I am wondering what model would work best with the Etrac. Any assistance would be appreciated. I tried looking quick on the forum to see if this question came...

    Taking the spoils

    Went out today to an old beach area. Obvious that someone had been there before me. I can only dream of the bounty they must have found. But to my delight I found the spoils of what they discriminated out. The past 2 days has revealed 2 buffalos (1929 and 19??), 2 V nickels (1899 and 1900)...

    Signal response

    Can anyone tell me how to recognize the good targets that are near trash vs iron targets that sound like coins (ie: nails) How do you tell the difference between the two. What are some of the tricks, I am new to the etrac and am still learning lots. Thanks
