    Which White's for my Buddy?

    I realize I may get as many answers as posts to this one, so I will try to narrow down the criteria. My neighbor is a real nice guy but definetely not technically minded at all. He is a strong believer in White's Detectors and I have no experience with them so I am asking for your help. He...

    Old Coin Program

    Since it is cold, snowy and windy outside right now, I decided to experiment with the E-Trac's ability to build custom patterns. Specificly an "Old Coin" program (as described in Andy's Book pgs. 110-114). I pulled out an assortment of old coins from my collection including silver dollars...

    Richard at Backwoods Detectors is the best! :clapping:

    I just completed a transaction with Richard at Backwoods Detectors, where I traded in my X-Terra 70 and accy's. on a new E-Trac. I don't think it is possible to have been treated more fairly and honestly. I can truthfully say that Richard is my new Guy now. You can do business with him and be...

    Muzzleloader Buck

    I noticed that others have posted some hunting and fishing pictures here so I thought I'd post this picture of a buck I killed with my muzzleloader a couple years ago. Idaho PRB

    Environmental Cover (Again) :help:

    I know this question has been asked before and I have done a search for past topics that discussed this question and didn't come up with the answer I am looking for. Which "Environmental Cover" do you all prefer for your E-Trac and why. Which one(s) seem to fit poorly or are designed poorly...

    Xterra's "Achilles heel"

    I was just thinking that as much as I love my XTerra 70, the one thing that is starting to get under my skin and I think may ultimately be the Achilles heel for the Xterra series is the fact that you cannot buy aftermarket coils for them. With the popularity of the SEF butterfly coils and...

    1925 Dog Tax Tag

    I found this Dog Tax Tag the other evening at one of the rentals in my neighborhood that I have hit pretty hard with the 10.5" 7.5 kHz DD coil. I put on the 6" DD HF coil and hit a small section against the foundation and too close to a chain link fence for the larger coil. Hit at 32-34 and...

    Couple of recent finds

    Here's a couple of my recent finds. I haven't been good about posting pictures but with winter coming on, I'll get some photos taken and contribute on a more regular basis. One is a Model T key and the other one kind of speaks for itself. Enjoy the pics, Idaho PRB

    How many of you have upgraded from an Xterra 70/705?

    I'm interested in hearing from those of you who upgraded from the XTerra 70/705 to the ETrac. What are the differences you have noticed, both positive and negative. I am getting the itch, as I have had my XT 70 for 2 years now. I LOVE IT! but I just have to wonder....... you know? When you have...

    WTT Xterra 3kHz for 18.75 kHz

    I have a lightly used 3kHz Concentric coil (with cover) for the Xterra series that I would like to trade for a 10.5" DD 18.75 kHz coil. The concentrics just don't work for me in my highly mineralized soil and I am going to all DD's. Thanks, Idaho PRB

    Chinese coin dates?

    How do you go about finding out the date of a chinese coin? I found one tonight and it looks like it was in circulation as it is somewhat worn but I haven't found one before and know nothing about them. Any help would be appreciated. i could probably post pictures tomorrow. Thanks

    Ferrous + Conductivity and Bottlecaps?

    First of all let me say, I use an X-Terra 70, so the only numerical reading I get is conductivity. My mind has been recently wandering to what I may be missing, having only one indicator of target composition. I just got back from a hunt at a local park where I dug a ton of bottlecaps that gave...

    Explorer "Editions"

    Can someone explain to me the editions that the Explorer was introduced in and the approximate years they were produced? I am assuming that the "Explorer" was the first, followed by the "Explorer II" and then the "Explorer SE", am I on the right track? I am interested in the date range of these...

    The number 46

    I have a problem with the VDI #46. I seem to remember someone saying that they dug a half dollar or something that gave a solid 46 on the VDI scale. The halves I have found have been 44, quarters 42, dimes 38 to 40. I have found quite a few nice targets that never showed a single 46 number even...

    BH frequency?

    A friend of mine has a BH "Treasure Hunter" (or something like that) and has the standard coil for it. I recently ordered the 4" coil for him to help with trashy areas. I am wondering if the frequency is controlled by the detector or by the coil? Either way, does anyone know what frequency(s)...

    Safari Attributes?

    I have been looking to see if I can get my mind around where the Safari fits in in tha Minelab spectrum. I kinda get the feeling in general/multi use detectors that Explorer was the top dog for a long time and now it seems that role appears to be switching to the Etrac. The Soveirgn seems to fit...

    New DD Coil

    Well, I got my new DD 10" 7.5 kHz coil on the 10th and have been using it every chance I get. My real test was to be my "dug out" front yard. So far I have found some deep wheats and some memorials that I had missed and tonight I pulled out a 1925 D Mercury dime! I was jazzed! I also found a key...

    Which headphones with XT-70?

    I have a pair of Garrett headphones that I use with my X-Terra 70 and they are much better than the ones that came with the machine when I purchased it several years ago from Kellyco (Cx Custom's). They fit me pretty comfortably but do not block out very much background noise, which normally...

    Beach GB mode?

    Can someone explain to me the difference between Beach GB mode and regular GB mode? I mean, what does it do that is unique to Beach mode and where (other than the beach) could it possibly be a benefit? I have never used this mode and was wondering if there may be circumstances where it might be...
