    Tokens & Wheats

    Yesterday afternoon I got away for a couple hours to a park that is close to my house. I needed to stay close so I could be home when my Daughter got off school. I used the 8X6 SEF coil to sniff through a semi- trashy area along an old walkway in the park that is mostly grown over by the...

    Used my New Digger! 1947 S Washington :detecting:

    This morning I got up early and drove out in the country to try and get permission to detect an old abandoned house that I had my eye on. The owner of the property was not at home again, this was my second attempt to catch him at home, no luck. I then drove a few more miles to an old school that...

    Do You Sharpen your Digger?

    I just won a new Minelab Digger from the contest and was admiring it last night. All I have ever used before this was a garden spade that I bought at Lowe's. I have always sharpened the spades I use and find that they work so much better and are less work to use when sharp. The Minelab Digger is...

    Got my new Digger, Thank You!

    I received the new Minelab Digger I won on the "Free Digger Contest" today. It's a beauty and I can't wait to try it out. We had a snowstorm all day today, which makes me really glad I detected yesterday in the rain :laugh: I would just like to thank all of you again for making this possible...

    Today's Hunt at a Sidewalk Strip

    I hunted the strip of grass between the sidewalk and the street in a location I had not hunted before and came up with the following finds. The dime in the picture on the plug was actually below the plug, I just put it on the plug for the picture. Some of the memorial cents were really deep...

    Saturday's Hunt

    I was asked by a friend of mine to detect a couple strips of property at our local Museum (used to be a School circa 1912) that is going to be scraped and graveled for a new antique farm implement display. The idea was to extract any artifacts pertinent to the old school and our town before it...

    Today's Hunt

    It reached near 50 degrees today so I headed down to a local park to spend some time with the new E-Trac. I spent some time hiking around, probing the ground here and there to try and find a spot where the ground wasn't frozen and I could dig. I finally found one spot that set down in a swale...

    6X8 SEF -vs- Sunray X-5. Is there enough difference to justify both?

    To those of you that have both the 6X8 SEF and either the Sunray X-5 or the 6" Excellerator coil, I have one question. Is there enough difference between the two to justify having both coils? I can definetly see having one medium size coil, like the Pro Coil or the 10X12 SEF and one really small...

    Indian Head's TID #'s?

    Where do your Indian Heads typically hit on the E-Trac? Since they show quite a bit lower than a lot of desirable targets and the fact that there are two different kinds, I'm afraid I may pass some over if I'm not careful. I just got my E-Trac in November and, as such, haven't had much time in...

    Link to my Old Coins Pattern

    I'm trying something new to get around the problem with uploading .ptrn files here. This is my first test, so here goes. Click on link below Jeff's Old Coin Pattern

    How do I post my pattern files?

    I noticed that others have successfully posted links to pattern files here, for others to use. I cannot figure out how to do that. I tried to insert attachment and the file format .ptrn is not accepted. I tried a link to Photobucket and they only recognize media files. Am I missing something...

    Perfect Transaction with etracjoe :thumbup:

    Made a trade with etracjoe and everything went perfect. You can trust this guy. I would not hesitate to do business with him again.

    6X8 SEF vs 5"-6" DD

    For those of you who have tried both, do you think the 6X8 SEF is truly small enough, compared to the 11" pro Coil to justify it's use as a "Trashy Site" coil? I am interested in adding a small coil for areas with a million targets and for fishing around in tight spots. I am not convinced that...

    XLT Users?

    I ran a search of all messages in the last year in the Main White's Forum for "XLT" and did not get one hit. Does anyone use this detector? What do you think of it as a coin machine? Thanks! Idaho PRB

    "Deep / On" and Gain at 30?

    Does anyone know if having "Deep / On" is a redundant setting if "Gain" is set at 30? I'm afraid to turn the "Deep" setting off but sometimes run my gain at 30 and sometimes at 24. I'm sure that when the weather warms up and I can do some experimentation with test items I can see for myself but...

    Funny Little Story :surprised:

    The other evening (can't remember which) I was out in my front yard, that's been detected TOO DEATH! over the last 5 years. I was running 2 tone ferrous with the Relic Pattern for discrimination. I got an interesting faint signal and decided to dig (what the heck, it's my yard). Well, it was one...

    Got off work a little early today...

    I detected the grass between the sidewalk and street in front of a friends house for about an hour. I picked up my second 1909 wheat in my second only E-Trac hunt. Up until now I had never found one (no S, no VDB). I also got a 1912 wheat, 1951 and 1954. No pics as I am setting up the tree and...

    First Hunt with my new E-Trac :detecting:

    Got to use my new E-Trac, Finally! The snow all melted and it got up to about 37 degrees. I hit a local rental for a couple hours that I had pounded with the X-Terra 70, just to see what I might have missed. I would love to tell you all the specifics about where everything hit on the scale and...

    :help: Pistol Probe and FBS?

    I recently traded off my X-Terra 70 for an E-Trac. I have used the Detector Pro "Pistol Probe" for the last year or so with the X-Terra with great results. I have only had a few minutes with my new E-Trac because of the snow but I have noticed that it is all but impossible to find a frequency on...

    What was that coin worth in the 1800's?

    I'm sure we have all wondered what it meant to someone long ago who lost the coin we just found. Was it a big deal? What could they have bought with this coin? I know I have. You wonder if that dime,quarter or half dollar caused problems for that family or individual when it was lost. Well...
