    Exchange 2 question

    Lets say a person has 2 CTX machines, does the Exchange program recognize them separately and retain two different setups or sets of programs, or only as each is plugged in reading the programs on that 'plugged in' machine?

    CTX acting up

    When I turn the machine on, after it being shut off for 12 hours or so, with the stock big coil attached, not the 6" or 17", I usually select up the stock 'coin' program, then the modified GH program and then noise cancel. I almost always run it with open screen, manual sense at about 25 to...

    F75 vdi's

    I got the new LTD Se about 2 months ago and have done ok with it, but I am having either learning issues or settings issues. I start with sense at about 75-80, disc at 15, 4 tones, de mode, and small coil. To me it says every 68-75 signal is a dime. When I look at the little boxes above the...

    CTX success

    I got my CTX in Aug of 2012. Hunting demo lots in and around Houston I have managed to find almost 450 silver coins with it. Got to 190 for this year on the 20th. I dont find a lot of old stuff as almost all the 'old' ground here is covered in concrete and freeway. Hence, most of the stuff...

    distance to waypoints

    So, we are doing a relic hunt, lots of woods and some late 1800's homes long since gone. I entered the waypoints of buildings, different spots, etc., and they are on the machine. Now, if I select 'go to waypoint and say I am 3 miles away or 300 yards, what is the scale on the screen? How...

    Warranty issue warning

    I have a wear issue on the main shaft where the handle part connect to the shaft. I have had the machine at the beach 3 times in 2 years, and in the salt water only once and never had that area submerged. I took out the 7 or 8 screws to open up the shaft holder to see if I could maybe wrap...

    My first Barber Half

    I was lucky enough to dig my first Barber half, 1907 'O', Tuesday, and a really neat looking Aztec Warrior Mask necklace from the 1950's on Saturday, along with lots of wheat pennys and some silver coins.

    Comparing targets with GH's and stock 'coin'

    Having hunted the last year or so with GH's 4 tone I started listening to what Digger has said numerous times regarding the 'factory' patterns and how they are optimized or tuned. So for the past 3 or 4 hunts I loaded up the Coin as the backup mode and have made a habit of switching from GH to...

    Using 'earbuds'??

    This will sound really retarded, but! I have been using earbuds with the wireless for about 14 months now. About 3 or 4 months ago I noticed a tingling, itching sensation in both ears. Not all the time but quite often. I use full fingered gloves almost the time and if the earbud would fall...

    Biggest cache round 2

    I thought I had posted this earlier but it seems to have been removed. As posted earlier we were back looking for the remaining 3 containers of coins. After moving some fallen tree logs we got a good signal and started digging. at about 2' 6" we uncovered the 'bottom' of a plastic one...

    One Half Mark

    Yesterday, 4 of us hunted several house demos in the Houston area. As a group we did well with silver coins. On a place they had just taken down a 1910 house I got a 12-38/9 at about 5" and I dug it and out came a small dime sized dirt encrusted silver coin. Thought I had another Rosie, then...

    Biggest cache of coins ever

    Last Saturday I was invited to assist in a search for some buried jugs of coins on a rural property. We had a man ask to assist him in locating 5 jugs of coins buried by his late sister in the mid 1970's. He had a map that was not to scale but generally accurate. 4 of us started looking at...

    Sunday morning hunt, silver and wheats

    Three of us hunted some demo lots in North Houston. I think the total was in the 12 silver coin range along with about 60 wheat pennies. I wound up with a 59 half, 2 rosies, 2 mercs, a '43 nickel, 33 wheats and 2 quarters, 1 dime and 10 clad nickels. Also had a 'nitro' moment when I flipped...

    Excellent quick service!!!

    Last Sunday morning my E-trac would not power up. Tried everything, still would only 'click' and nothing happen. Called Kellyco first, then Minelab, got an RMA number, shipped it from Houston on Monday afternoon at about 3 pm, it arrived Wednesday at 9:54, and I got it back today at 3:30pm...

    My 99th silver of the year is a 1901 Barber Q. nmm

    Almost a 'Nitro pill" moment. The 'S' mint mark would allow me to buy at least one more coil for the CTX.

    Pin Point button issue

    Today I would push the pinpoint button to lock on the pinpoint and it would cut out all sound. Push it again and still no sound, do it several times and still nothing. Shut it off and back on and all was fine. Sweep over the target, push the pinpoint button again and no sound. No speaker, no...

    one hour early hunt

    I drove by a spot today and got permission from the dozer driver to detect. First coin was a wheat, 1914, second was a 1907 V nickel, then a memorial, then a guy shows up and asks me to leave. We talked for a few minutes and I left. As I backed the truck out he ran in the road and stopped me...

    Houston Club Scavenger hunt

    The Houston cub puts on a detecting scavenger hunt about once a month. We meet up at 8am, pay the $5 entry fee, get the list of items to dig, then head out. Return at 2pm to tabulate the results. Almost everything one can imagine digging is on the list. From quantities of memorials, wheats...
