    If a nail is buried on top of a coin your screwed

    I got a 3 inch high glass and placed a nail on top of glass, placed a quarter under glass..Etrac just saw the nail...I don't think any detector can pass this test

    I picked up a pair of Radio Shack wireless headphones...EXCELLENT

    The item number is 33-1253, I think they just came out with them....The transmitter is a small box that you just plug into the headphone jack(no velcrowing anything) but you need a adapter to go from the smaller prong on the transmitter to the larger prong that the Etrac takes..the headphones...

    I got my set of $25 Walmart wireless headphones

    and THEY SUCK....with the transmitter turned off I get some kind of religious station loud and clear but when I turn the transmitter on I get a very faint noise from my etrac, the volume is up all the way too on the headphones and Etrac...I think the religious station is knocking out my signal

    The three coin recovery test

    This was mentioned on the Vision forum to test recovery speed, place 3 quarters 3 inch's apart and see if you get 3 seperate tones on a fast sweep..They said very few detectors can do this...I actually placed the quarters touching each other (no distance between them) and the Etrac gave me 3...

    I'm getting three seperate tones with the quarters touching each other in a fast sweep, normal sweep and slow sweep..what do you mean no detector can do this?

    what exactly is the 3 quarter recovery test?

    I wanted to test the recovery speed on my Etrac and a poster mentioned placing 3 quarters three inches apart and see if you get 3 seperate tones on a fast sweep, I'm getting the three seperate tones but I'm also getting the 3 seperate tones when I place the quarters touching each other(no...

    I think minelab needs to buy one of Whites patents or lease it

    My Etrac can't tell the difference between a silver and clad quarter,same with dimes.. I get same numbers...On my 20 year old 6000Di pro, the meter will tell you the difference..needle will go very slightly past quarter for a silver one.. slightly passed dime for silver...why can't this be...

    Why Was The Vision Produced?

    I tend to agree that real metal detector technology (depth and disc) peaked around 1990 and pretty much just bells and whistles added on after that..In my opinion the greatest machine whites had was 6000 series with the analog meters, they were the best machines of all the manufacturors...I had...

    Etrac nulls out if I stack two silver quarters??

    I thought this was strange, then I jumped to all metal and saw it was hitting 0-48....0-46 to 0-50 is blacked out on stock coin program, why is this??
  14. B

    how come clad and silver quarters both have same numbers?

    Both are showing around 12-46..this is in air testing...My 6000 di pro hits higher on the meter when its a silver quarter compared to a clad..help??..I thought silver would be more conductive then clad, the 6000 di thinks so

    E-trac as a musical instrument

    set e-trac to multi tone, limits at 30, conduct tone,variability at 30 and cranked up volume...Placed different items on my floor and after some experimenting was able to play "when the saints come marching in"..Makes a really nice Flute

    Ok guys and gals here we go some testing.

    I want to see how stable these graph readings are on actual field targets..My Etrac was stable as hell when air testing but in the field ferrous and conduct numbers were jumping all over the place (wanted to wrap it around a tree)
