    Detech Chaser -61

    Bought Chaser in November from Backwoods Detectors (and traded in 2 detectors). Today was my 9th session, 45 minutes in a local park. Discrim.Zero can show negative numbers on the screen. I dug a -61 and it turned out to be a bobby pin. There is no table of positive and negative numbers and...

    Detech Chaser One Touch GB

    The owner's manual refers to but does not explain automatic ground balance. An advertisement posted by a metal detector vendor lists the features of the Chaser and mentions One Touch Ground Balance. So, while inside in my apartment, I turned on detector and pressed the ground balance button...

    Detech Chaser Notes

    The Chaser does not have notch or adjustable tone breaks. Those are features I never used when available on detectors I've owned in the past, but some people may want those features. The ground balance appears to be fixed unless you use manual balancing. The manual refers to automatic ground...

    30 Minutes with Chaser Yields An Ankh

    Had 30 minutes to detect with my Detech Chaser using Coin program, 12 x 10 coil. Went to a local park, found lots of bottle caps showed 45 on the meter. In the bark chip area another 45, was tempted to leave it, but dug anyway and found an ankh (Egyptian symbol). No marking on back, no doubt...

    Detech Chaser Brief Third Session

    Brief session in local park. Pull tabs locked in at 45 but also found a pin at 45. Seems to be brass, a toy, says US Marshal on it. Bottle caps ring loud and clear. Was able to use high gain in this park that has TV/radio towers In the hills to the west. 12x10 coil, coins program, tone ID...

    Detech Chaser Brief First Session

    I traded 2 detectors towards purchase of Chaser with 12x10 coil from Backwoods Detectors. This morning I put in 30 minutes in local park's bark chip area. First, I tossed some coins in the surface to note the numerical readout. The following numbers are all plus / minus: clad quarter: 85...

    4 tones on F75

    Manual refers to 4 tones for old coins that fall within that range. Any idea which coins in the 4 tone range? Will 3 tone range fail to sound off on some very old coins?

    4 Tones on Golden microMax

    My new tone Golden micro Max is no longer my main machine but I still enjoy using it. I don't get as involved as 53Silver, and keep it simple. The notch feature is able reject many pull tabs and still detect nickels. When Tesoro was still selling the Golden, they had instructions on their...

    Brief Session with Golden MicroMax

    I spend most of my detecting time learning to use a fancy metered machine from another manufacturer, but I still like to use my new tone Golden Micromax. Most local parks will need a lot of rain to be diggable so I went to the bark chip area. I found a quarter, a penny, and a ring. The ring...

    Pull Tab & Foil Discrimination

    Among the Discrimination Patterns available in the Discrim Menu are 2 labeled Pull Tab and Foil, and the latter especially rejects almost everything. Are these specialized for searching for jewelry only, no coins? Right now I'm using a Combined Coin and Jewelry pattern.

    Threading the Cable

    Bought another coil & lower stem for my E-Trac. Easy way to get cable all the way through the lower stem: from rifle cleaning kit, assemble full length cleaning rod and use blunt plastic tip, not the sharp, metal tip and screw it in the end. Gently push down the lower stem and the coiled...

    Opportunity in Detroit

    I read in Drudge that 10,000 abandoned houses, including ones that are pre-1900, will be razed in the Detroit area. In the larger scheme of things, that represents a tragedy, the continuing decline of the US. But in the immediate term, that could be an opportunity to scan a lot of old house...

    Used the 4.5" concentric for 35 minutes in a bark chip area. Found 4 quarters, 1 nickel, 10 pennies, a toy ring and a simulated Spanish real, maybe brass.
