    Fisher, not so waterproof 11 inch coils.

    I have killed two coils by submerging them. One on my F75 and one on my G2 about a week later not realizing that water had killed the first one. Fisher was great in replacing them under warranty. I just wish they would let us know if the sealer on the back of the coil is a fix. I have...

    Woo Hoo, First E-trac silver

    A friend of mine sent me a link to Goes4ever's webpage today. I watched about six videos and was chomping at the bit to get out. I had too many things to do. I told my wife I was just going out in the yard. I couldn't get the E-trac to sound right. I messed with the menu and finally did a...

    My first coin with an Etrac

    I put the Etrac together early this week but changed it for the hunt today. I ran a Minelab 8 inch coil and mounted the Sunray probe. It is older. Can use say, serial number 322? It worked fine. I hunted a grassy yard that I have pounded with a bunch of machines for 10 or more years...

    Thrust into the Etrac family and I like it - - -

    I was lucky enough to win a new Etrac at a competition hunt last week. I posted it to sale and then decided that might be a mistake. I put it together and hit one of the older spots that I have pounded for years. People I take care complain there are no signals. Today in about thirty minutes...

    Man, can't stay away from CZs

    I just sent the money for a new to me CZ70 pro. I sold mine to raise money for a detecting thrip earlier this year. I have plenty of other detectors including an early 1021 but I missed the CZ70. I know I won't use it every day but there are those days that it really is a just what I need...

    One stinking Memorial but happy as can be - - -

    I am usually a field hunter but most of them are planted and I had to move to a yard tonight. I only found one penny but I am still pretty happy. I was pretty happy when I dug a silver looking thimble but was amazingly happy when I saw it said, "drink Coca Cola in bottles". I dug a silver...

    G2 depth not a problem today

    I can't add any comments to anybody's depth questions about the G2. Today it had more than enough. Back to back days with Large Cents with the G2. Yesterday it sniffed one out of the iron. Today it almost blew my headphones off. I looked down and didn't have to do any digging...

    Got the G2 back out today - why did I put it down?

    I have been hunting an old site along the river lately. I found my first half dime there just before the relic hunt in Virginia. I took the same detector back out there when I got back and found several small flat buttons but no more coins. I decided to day that the G2 was the perfect thing...

    Pretty Happy with my Tom Tune Up.

    You can say I am a pretty happy camper. Got my 1021 CZ3d back from a tune up yesterday. I couldn't wait to give it a try. Went to an old site near the river today. I had forgotten how much fun the CZ is to use. I waded through a lot of iron and finally got that sweet, repeatable signal I...

    Revisiting some old sites with the SE

    What a great day in central Indiana. Took the SE back to an old picnic grove that I have pounded with every detector I have ever had. Hunted slow and was lucky enough to pull a Buffalo nickel. Not sure of the date but just pleased to find. I also went out in the middle of a field nearly a...

    My first yard hunt with a Minelab - encouraged

    I decided to try the SE Pro in a yard here in town. I have hunted it several times with two or three different detectors. It is pretty big and I have dug quite a few coins. I dug the old chunky, cheap bracelet first. I am new to the detector so I dig anything that sounds interesting. My...

    Gave the Large Cent a bath and got a Seated

    Best day every for me and a Minelab. I guess I haven't had very many but I would like a few more like this one. The dime came from an old one room school house site. Don HH

    Se finds another Large Cent, they are getting older

    Hey guys, hit a site along the river. Map says it was a mill. Found two flat buttons and then got a great hit. Dug my third large cent with the Minelab. I also got a general service button. The big round disc might be the back of a pocket watch. Got to get back out there and see what else...

    Figured out what 00 28 means on an SE pro

    Decided to take the SE out to an old house site on a near by farm. I had hunted up close to the road before but noticed the brick and iron seemed to go back away from the road quite a ways. Took a run through the iron and came up with some interesting things. The broken buckle on the left...

    Tough question about Xterra vs Se pro

    I have a like new SE Pro that I am getting along with ok. I am not crazy about the multi tone. My other machines are two, three or four tone. I like the fact that the Xterra would let me keep that system. I have a chance to jump to a two week old 705 without losing any money. I posed this...

    Tough Question About SE Pro and Me

    I want to start out by saying I have found things with my Explorer. I am starting to understand its tones. I just think I am happier with a two, three or four tone machine. I have a chance to ease into a two week old Xterra 705 and not loose any money on the deal. I have never used an Xterra...

    The one that got away - - - LTD - long and painful

    It is wrong to complain about Indiana detecting weather in January. Our usual detector weather keeps us locked up inside, dreaming of hunts and cleaning our clad. This year, it has been warm. I found my first coin on New Year's day. Lately, though rain, snow, and thawing have put us pretty...

    Great weekend with the G2 in Indiana

    I managed a lot of hunting this weekend. The weather was amazing and I got to hunt with some friends. Met a G2 guy from Michigan and got to hunt with him on Saturday. TerryMi had a pretty good day in the Hoosier state. I got out again Sunday and managed to find some flat buttons and a...

    Silver from my first 2012 hunt. Can't believe we are hunting in Indiana.

    It was a terrible, ugly day. I am pretty sure only a crazy man would have ventured out, but after being stuck in the house all morning and watching treasure hunting videos, I had to try. I went to an old site that I had recently gotten permission to hunt. Out in the middle of the bean field I...

    First Minelab coins were worth the wait - field hunting in Indiana

    I have only had my SE for a couple of weeks and have used it a few times. I was pretty sure I could find things with it, but when hunting a new area with great potential I tended to go with the detector I knew. Got to revisit a field yesterday and decided it was time for the SE. I was trailing...
