    Discrimination 47-48, yes or no?

    A good starter corner coin pattern would be Co 34 to 50 and Fe down to 26 open. That should get you clad and silver coins along with some wheat pennies and a few Indian heads. As for me the factory installed coin pattern is trash. Ron in WV

    F75, F75SE, F75+

    I never owned the F75+ so I am not sure what processors it had. I have several F75's since I retired in 2010. The first 2 I had didn't have the BP (Boost Processor) so the deepest processor they had was SE (Default Processor). I could not tell any deference in depth for coin hunting. The one I...

    Depth lost with tight pattern E-Trac

    The rest of the story, Open for max depth, I tested each of the items I like to hunt which are old coins and gold rings. I started with an open pattern on each item and got the home cell for each. Then I would close one full line of Fe cells one at a time until the detection depth dropped and...

    Broken coil cable E-Trac

    Update, I hunted today with fix above for the first time and it works really well. When you adjust the coil angle the cable just slides up in the shaft or pulls a little out. I think the cable would never break again in that area.

    Broken coil cable E-Trac

    I had a broken cable on my 8 x 6 and it is only a couple of years old. I repaired the cable but was looking to extend the cable life. I contacted Elmy and he sent me video of a guy doing the same thing with the coil cables. First in the video he suggested using a 7mm split conduit on the cable...

    Depth lost with tight pattern E-Trac

    Just thought I would share this bit of info for those that don't know you can lose a lot of depth with a tight pattern. The attached picture shows the smallest open area to get max depth for a silver dime. Hope this helps,

    Magic coins program

    diggininms, here is a picture of Elmy's 110 pattern and a full reverse of that would be the Quickmask magic that he has been talking about. The 110 pattern is the hunt pattern loaded into smartfind. By loading in a reverse into QM you can check a target and tell if it is good or bad. So with the...

    Some Etrac Questions

    I must have forgot the pictures with my fix post above. I actually used a heat gun for the first round then after it cooled down used the hair dryer to reheat it a few more times which may have not been needed. Better late than never. Ron in WV

    Just wanted to show what a little help from Elmy done for me.

    This is the way my year has went with the E-Trac. Elmy has giving me a pretty good work over with settings, patterns and hunting tips. Ron in WV

    Maybe a little help for those with back problems.

    I started off with a limb off that I cut while hunting one day, my thought at the time was to stay with wood because of the detector. But on another hunt I found a nice half inch conduit pipe about 5ft long sticking up in the woods. So I thought what the heck I would give it try, no problems...

    Maybe a little help for those with back problems.

    I added the wrist strap to the top of the walking stick and that helps with not having to grip the stick all the time and frees up that hand as needed.

    Maybe a little help for those with back problems.

    I am kind of a old timer 74 and it doesn't take much to set my back off. Back at the first part of this past summer I was hunting about mid day I just could take much more. I was in the woods and I cut me limb and made a walking stick. That made a big difference for me it keep me standing more...

    New F-75 Question

    As for sensitivity, I don't think there is a number that can be given to tell you what sensitivity to set the F75 at. My brother and I have been tinkering as to how to setup a machine. First of all it seems that EMI is the big killer of depth in each area we hunt in. So we have came up with a...

    F75 concentric coil

    Ronstar, I think that is a very good answer, I had a NEL Sharpshooter for the F75 and I liked it but I got a wild hair and sold it. Now for the 12x10 SEF I never had one for the F75 but I got one for my E-Trac and like you said it made a big difference. Both of those coils would be a really good...

    F75 concentric coil

    I had some problems with the posting above and it didn't post all I said. So I will post here what was lost. Pick up at Not a huge difference in depth, the 10" concentric is the deepest, then the 11"DD and then the 5x10. I don't use the 11"DD coil much at all, it just seemed to miss a lot of...

    As for depth I give the edge to the 10" concentric, then the 11"DD and then the 5x10. Not a huge

    Etrac Still Viable?

    If I can at least one of my 2 E-Tracs running I don't think I will be trying any new detectors for the rest of my hunting days. At one point I was about to give up on the E-Trac and I hooked up with Elmy who posted above and he breathed new life into the way to setup and run the E-Trac. He is...

    F-75 Ltd: Musket Balls - Best settings

    I have never found anything good at those really high vdi numbers 97 to 99. I don't hunt minnies but that 50 to 60 vdi sounds about right. If you have a musket ball just run it in front of the coil and that will give you a ball park ID number. Now I am a coin hunter and hunt a local part that...
