    finally got on the 2011 silver board...

    Was wonder if my coils had be converted to repulse silver, but I stumbled on to one Saturday. [attachment 189143 barberbacksmall.JPG] Almost hate to show the next picture as it shows the autograph that I made... [attachment 189144 barberfrontsmall.JPG]

    E Trac against NW Georgia

    I got into a couple of challenging areas over the weekend and was wondering how y'all set up the Trac to handle them. The auto sensitivity was dropping to 10 or 12 over some large areas. I have an 8x6 that I am going to try on my next trip. The ground is very wet right now, which may be...

    Newbie equipment questions

    I have just started down the road toward underwater detecting. I'd like to hear about y'alls setups. From fins to masks to detectors to diggers/scoops. What do y'all have with you when you go into the water? What are the brands that work and which ones are the cheap knock offs? I appreciate...

    Last warning!

    As my previous request to keep your airborne ice pollution to yourselves have gone unheeded, I now must make it more clear that this is unacceptable. Should further unprovoked attacks fall upon our fair Southern soil, I will be forced to unleash our secret stash of cold-tolerant fire ants and...

    Old house sites today

    Fought the ticks to get to a couple house sites before deer season starts in 2 weeks. Pretty slim pickings. I did manage 2 flat buttons. A one piece with a London backmark with 3 stars/asterisks above it and a 2 piece with no backmark. I think the London backmark is an early one. Hopefully...

    Lipo Battery conversion

    Anyone have experience using LiPO batteries with the Etrac? I have the chargers and batteries from my RC plane hobby. Looks like a high capacity 3s (11.1 V) mounted in a box attached to stock stand might balance the larger coils better and give a ridiculous amount of hunt time between charges.

    Ordered the 8x6 butterfly coil today

    Hope to swing it this weekend. Taking bets on whether this will become my go to coil or not. I'll be in the Tate City/Clayton GA area looking for some where to dig. Any suggestions?

    Good luck this weekend... hope y'all trac some good ones down.

    I know that was stale, but it had to be done. Got a new site that I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Been waiting for deer season to get over with so I could get on it. Hopefully I will have something to post up for those of you frozen-in far away in the lands of the north...

    Finally, a gold ring.

    Took me a while to get the post up, had camera issues. I finally found a gold ring after several years of searching. And yes it fell out in pull tab territory. 10k with what I believe are CZs, but it got my heart rate up anyway. Had the usual school junk suspects with a bonus 1920 wheat (not...

    Struck out Saturday

    Had one of those days Saturdays that you have to enjoy for the exercise and being able to eliminate places that the relics ain't at... I got permission on a couple pieces of property near the New Hope Church battlefield in Paulding County. I got there early Saturday morning and bailed out into...

    Persistence at the demo site.

    Was back at the demo site today. Stuck with the small coil on my Golden and found a V nickle and some other items. I was pretty excited when the V flipped outta the ground. Lot of time in this site for two mercs and the V, but I'll take them. I started to do a happy dance when the large silver...

    Another round at the demo site.

    It was back to the demo site today. I let the Etrac rest and put my little coil on the Golden; she never lets me down. Was able to sneak between the nails and pull out some more finds. Got 2 strange .22 rimfire rounds today. They taper significantly, down to .20 or less and are longer than...

    Went back to the demo site today.

    It was back to the same demo site this morning for a 4 hour hunt. I've been working hard on slowing down and working the iron. Not a lot to show for my effort today. I think I had a $1.13 in change, plus some zincolns that I threw in the trash. The top two pennies are wheats, '58 and '39. I...

    More Etrac Practice at the Demo Site

    Etrac was working hard in the demo site

    Not much to show for it. Had about 40 coins plus the items in the photo. Now if I could just find the treasure chest that goes with the key. It's about 5 inches long, so maybe it's a big box...LOL. I think it's a clock winder, any opinions? The "thang" on the lower left is unidentified, but...

    Nail rejection pattern

    I'm not ready to go to all metal, but I would like to build a discrimination pattern that knocks out nails only. I have seen several posted photos of such a pattern. Could someone give me the coordinates of the lower left and upper right corners of the area that blocks most nails. I currently...

    Dug a merc out of the demo'd houses I've been hunting.

    Threw a couple buttons in the picture for free. :biggrin: I'm really starting to like this Etrac thing. It likes to ride in my truck with me and barks when it sniffs something out. Reminds me of a good rabbit dog, and it don't cost as much to feed. Hope y'all are finding the good stuff...

    Etrac finds silver in her 2nd week

    I've been working a block of houses that are being demolished. Finally squeezed a silver (1941s) out with the Etrac. Gotta two-piece ornate button and a little cat's eye button to go a long with it. Plus the usual clad that added up to $1.76. I was right in the middle of the demo piles and...

    Possible Etrac problem

    Hello all, Went out today for about 5 hours. Dug 2 quarters 2 dimes, and 84 pennies; only 2 of them wheats...yuck Found one old ring. I'm still digging more trash than with my tesoro, but was much better today. Now my question about the Etrac. How rapidly should the screen update? The...
