    Confederate bullets found on Union side of a battlefield?

    I found them with my ATP so I posted pictures on that forum. Can someone ID them for me? I know they are all civil war with possibly the exception of the small 3 ringer.

    Confederate finds with ATP

    I found these five bullets on the union side of a battlefield. All of them were 8" plus with the exception of the ball and it was 12" deep. The VDI's were all over the place but if I saw a 67-68 I had a bullet. I found alot of iron shards and wire that was 8-12" deep. Some were no more than a...

    VDI numbers for lead?

    I have an Explorer SE and found a .69 cal. Confederate Gardner bullet with it a couple of days ago. I was running a wide open screen no discrimination,Pro coil. I vaguely remember the numbers 31-31 coming on the digital screen. I went back to the same site today and all of my 31-31 were barbed...

    Coil inter-changeability????

    Are all Etrac and Explorer coils inter-changeable? I have a 5" Excelerator coil that I recently aquired. It works great on my Explorer but will not mate with my Etrac. It is a 5 pin connector but appears to be slightly larger than the Etracs coil connector.

    Issue with my Etrac on Daytona Beach???

    Running my Etrac on Daytona's quick crete sand using stock coil,beach program in auto 3. I keep getting a 12-01 at the end of each swing with a low tone. I've tried running in a different mode,adjusted the sensitivity down and used noise cancel but still having the same issue. I dug a clad dime...

    Why no detecting on the peoples beach?

    Visited a National seashore park today. I ask about detecting just to be redundant. I mean after all its the peoples beach it doesn't belong to the grub-er-in-mint. Anyway got the usual spill about it being an archaeological,preservation site. They are reconstructing an Indian tribes trash pile...

    Classring lost for 79 yrs returned to the owner today.

    I have had a severe case of the crud since I found this classring from the class of 1934. I finally got back to the land of the living and returned the ring to a 97 yr. old young man. He thought he has lost it in a local swimming hole. I found it in the yard of the home that he grew up in and...

    Anyone had any experience they would like to share on the comparison of these two coils? I've noticed an awful lot of stock coils for sale lately.

    What do the numbers 13-30,34,79 and 97 ?

    I was out running my E-Trac trying to figure out some sounds and numbers in essense trying to learn the machine. Anyway I hit a 13-30 that was very mellow and repeatable. I kinda expected it to be a piece of can slaw. It was down about 7 ". I flipped the plug and saw that yellow metal glaring...

    Back up detector borrowed for a spin made my head spin.

    Borrowed my partners 30/30 for a spin at the beach since my main go to machine is in for repairs. Pulled this number out of what I would guess to be approx. 18 inches of sand. It took 6 deep scoops to get to it. Went all the way down to the shell shelf. I think I read the numbers as 12-35-36...

    ATP won't recover from a signal as before??

    Was hunting with my partner yesterday. My ATP would hit a signal and then start bouncing and it would take about 5 seconds to recover. I would move a couple of feet and get the same response. I'm running the 5x8 in Pro-zero mode. I put in fresh batteries,no change. I changed freq. no change. I...

    Wireless headphones putting out EMI?????

    I dirtfish with a friend who is running a CTX with wireless headphones. When I try to hunt around him I get a huge amount of interference. He attempts to tune out my detector on his machine. I back off and try not to hunt closer than 15 yds from him and lower my sensitivity but it doesn't help...

    ATP showing repeated VDIs and tone constantly???

    It shows repeated VDIs spanning the range and associated tones. I've changed batteries,coils did a cold reboot dropped the sensitivity down to one bar and get the same thing. I've run the manual GB up and down the scale and went thru all four frequency changes and still get the same behavior. I...

    What type battery do you use?

    I read my manual and think that Garrett recommends Ni-Cad for the ATP. I've been using rechargables that are rated at 1.2 volts. I recently found some 1.5 Super Alkalines and was wondering if they may kick up my power a little. Are they compatiable and do you think sending 6 volts to the coil as...

    Sup? D

    My ATP found two Mercurys today. One is like many others dated 1943 however the other one is a 1916 in VF40 condition. I knew it was a key date but didn't think anymore about it. Took it home threw it in my 2013 silver bottle. Later this evening I pulled out the coin catalog out of curiosity and...

    Using Pro and standard together???

    Recently, I've been experimenting with my ATP. I run over a weak tone with pro mode but its showing a good range of VDIs. I rescan it using standard coin and get a much richer,louder bell tone. You have to sweep the area real slow and the standard coin seems to narrow the target down. I then...

    Problem with 5x8????

    I've recently discovered my 5x8 is sounding off center. I usually pinpoint by sound,crisscrossing my targets. My coil is sounding in the center but when I cut my plug I'm finding my targets in the lower left quadrant of my coil. I was on a hunt with my partner the other day when it become most...

    What is this strange rock?

    My hunting buddy found this last week with his CTX. We can't make out the hallmark on the back but the date on the front is 1620. It appears to be made of solid brass and is shaped like a rock. Anyone have any clues?
