    2 month old E-Trac acting up?

    Just yesterday and today my machine seems to be acting up. When I first turn it on and do the noise cancel thing it works fine. Then after a few minutes it starts giving false signals. When I go back to these signals they are gone. If I turn the machine off and on again it works fine again for a...

    10K gold ring with diamonds?

    Was hunting today with 3 friends at a school baseball, soccer field. One of them found this gold ring. He was using a Minelab SE. I checked it with my E-Trac and it had a # of 11-02. I would have never doug that. To me that's a foil number. Later I dug several plugs with similar numbers and it...

    Same park.....1946 Roosevelt dime.

    Went hunting this afternoon with a couple of friends at that same park. They call the park Baseball City because it's near so many little league baseball fields. Of course that is not it's real name. Any way we hunted for a couple of hours. We all found a few wheaties. No silver though. My...

    Iffy signal = 1943 Silver Quarter.

    Am still new with the E-Trac and metal detecting, about 2 months. I have the E-Trac's threshold pitch set to 28. With that setting when I swing the coil over a coin it really screams out. Sometimes though the high pitch only chirps for an instant. So I go over that spot, round and round. If I...

    Medallion.

    Went hunting with a couple friends today. I found 3 wheaties and a bunch of clad. They also found about the same. They wimped out after about an hour and I don't blame them. They are old time hunters and I'm a newbie. I decided to try an old school near there. Found much more clad then got this...

    Kodak Zi8 camcorder came in.

    Got the camcorder the other day and have been doing some test vids with it. I set it to macro, but it sucks. You can't even read the date on a coin unless you move the cam back enough. Even then you can barely read the date. Also if you make a vid holding it in your hand it comes out way too...

    Damn mosquitoes ! !

    In the last few days the mosquitoes have come out in force here in the northern part of IL. You can't even hunt in the middle of the day in the shade or you will be eaten alive. Is there anything else, besides dousing one's self with a deet repellant, that will help? I used to do alot of...

    Just got back from a morning hunt.

    I went to a baseball field near where I live. I was there yesterday in the afternoon. It wasn't a hot day but the sun was a killer. So I decided to go there in the morning today before the sun came up. I have hunted this field many, many times and it always pays off with lots of clad coins. I...

    Friend hunting the same park over and over.....

    My friend was hunting with me at that same park today. He also has an E Trac. I don't know what settings he was using on his machine but he dug this ring out just before I found that 1943 Merc. He said the # was 08., and it sounded like a nickle. The pinpoint was just to the left of where a...

Will try to find the post and get back with that info. Deep: off Fast: on Ground: difficult Volume gain: 28 Tone...

    Hunting the same parks over and over.

    A couple metal detecting friends of mine always hunt the same local parks over and over because of time restraints. They still have some luck though getting silver out of these parks. I got my E Trac a month or so ago and they have let me in (told me) about these parks. Very kind of them. So I...

    Coin Dealer shop

    Hi, I went to a coin dealer shop today to get those square coin holders. I explained that I was metal detecting and had found several silver coins. He replied to me that all silver coins that come out of the ground are garbage, tarnished, worthless. I replied that most of the silver coins I have...

    Newbies first SLQ. Very worn.

    Hello, Went hunting today for a little while at a public park near me. Have hunted this area before and only found clad coins. Decided to try a different area of the park. This diff. area was loaded with trash, so I went very slow with the coil. After just a few minutes I got an iffy signal but...

    Shoulder pain?

    Hello, I have been detecting for a little more than a month now. I'm a lefty so I swing the maching with that arm. No problems on that side. I have a Garrett probe that I holster on my right side. To clear the probe all of the way out of the holster I have to lift it quite high. A couple of days...

    Hello, I'm new to metal detecting. Started hunting in the beginning of April of this year when my friend let me use his Explorer II.

    E Trac warranty mail in card?

    Hello, I just got my E Trac the other day and was filling out the mail in warranty card. It asks for the serial # of the coil and the serial # of the model. On the coil there are two bar codes with numbers associated with them. Neither say serial #. On the underside of the handle behind the...

    Hunting etiquette

    Hello, Am new to detecting. What is the etiquette if someone finds a silver coin, and they are a friend. Should I go and detect right by him, her, or give space. I have so far given space. Just curious. I am also a golfer and know all the etiquette rules. Dan.
