    Different Digging Tool for Deep Targets

    As I am getting better with the ET I am finding that the depth of some targets is pretty hard to reach with my Predator. I rememberd a 'specialty' shovel that came with a farm implement I purchased to control moles. It's a stainless shovel about 2" wide with a handle that is 24" long. The...

    A Mod to Bling's Hipmount for the Excal...

    Yesterday I received the battery bag for Minelabs SD and GP metal detectors. I saw how Bling used the bag and decided to go that route. I hate swinging the electronics all day long when I don't have to. The first picture shows the battery bag as it comes. Note there are no longer the nice...

    Infinium Headphones

    Kind of exploring getting the Infinium. Kelly Co states you have to get an 'optional' headset that is water proof as the unit does not come with headphones that work in the water. I have a couple of headsets with the Ikelite connector that I could use if...the Infinium uses that connector. Any...

    Nuttall Scoop

    I just received the Diamond Head with the fiblerglass handle. The welds on this thing are almost artistic. Please tell me that a person did those welds and it wasn't done by a machine, Mr. Nuttall. The scoop screams quality when you first see it. Look out rocks and grave! Here I come...Jim

    Metal Detector on CNN this morning..

    Saw about a 3' story on CNN about the discovery of a whole bunch of artifacts that were a result of the Romans battling ??(Didn't catch it). It showed spear points, horse armor, and the ugliologists carefully cleaning the artifacts. How were they discovered? A man was walking around and...

    Chip Pit =Fun

    I had an hour to kill waiting for a friend today so decided I'd try a couple of chip Pitts I knew about. I went to the first one and it was about 60X100'. Searched the whole thing and found one penny. I still had a little time left and remembered where there was another one off the beaten...

    Post on E-Trac Forum

    http://www.findmall.com/read.php?63,864658 It looks like through the efforts of some of the forum members there may be a new product coming out in the future that will solve the waterproofing/glare problems that we have with the traditional covers for the Explorer and the E-Trac. It's a long...

    E-Trac Rain Cover

    What do you use to keep the rain off your machine? I have the Minelab cover but it's impossible to see through the plastic and determine what information the screen is displaying. Too much glare! Jim

    Can You Help Explain What is Going on?

    I was detecting an old-new school today. I got a half dozen hits that all acted the same way. The tone was right. They were repeatable from both directions, The ferrous conductive numbers were within the limits explained in Andy's new book,,,and they were all at least half way down the depth...

    ET Pinpointing - Such a Simple Thing...NOT!!

    I have been reading on how good the ET pinpoints and some saying it's so good it's 'scary'. I can't figure out the pinpoint worth a darn. I hit the pinpoint and listen to the sound and watch the bars at the top get darker and converge on the center, then look under where the rod connects to...

    Andy's New Book on The SE and the ET

    (A disclaimer...Nobody asked me to write this and I get no pay for this) I just got a copy of Andy's new book in the mail this afternoon. I can't begin to describe how detailed this book is. It's page size are the dimensions of a magazine but it is 188 pages long. I have only had time to...

    Old Silver With the ET/ My First

    I had some excitement on Friday. My wife was traveling to another town on the East side of the State to do some training. I was the designated driver. I had just recently discovered a site on the Internet that provided old maps on line so I brought up the town that we were going to and found...

    Thanks to jb

    Yesterday jb agreed to meet me and allow me to listen to his machine and follow him while he worked an old park. I bought a "Y" adapter at Rad Shak for about $8. He plugged the adapter into his machine and we both plugged our headphones into the "Y". Off he went and because the cord is 3'...

    My ET with the X-1 Running Through the Shaft

    EddieB asked for this and maybe somebody else would like to see it also. I thought ML did a nice thing running the coil wire down the inside of the tube instead of a bunch of twists, like on my Excal, around the shaft. When I put on the X-1 that option was gone...or was it. I did read...

    ET Good Deal

    Be sure to check with Lynne at Detector Depot before you purchase the ET. There are many fine sponsors on here selling the ET, but the person who gives the most and the highest quality accessories with the purchase is Lynne. Jim

    Sensitivity in QuickMask...Where is it?

    Been playing with the ET and reading the manual. I have played a few times shifting between digital and QM to better verify a target. I noticed the depth gauge of the target still shows on the QM screen but there is not a sensitivity level apparent in the screen. Where is it? Does it stay...

    I Am Not Understanding Its Language

    Been doing lots of hunting with my ET. Some deep finds but only one wheatie. Using factory presets for coins, automatic +1, and watching and listening to what's happening. I go over a signal several times and get lots of different tones and readings. I put it in Quick Find, almost running...

    Jeweler's Loupe

    Don't know exactly the correct place to put this post but I am a ML person and ET, SE, Excal, owner, & I trust the folks I have seen post here. How much should I spend to get a good loupe and any recommendations on manufacturer? I am getting too old to see the dates on the coins really well...

    Plug Cutter-Posted Here as ET People Dig Deep

    A friend I made here on the forum wants a plug cutter with a larger diameter than the Target Buddy. We have visions of a 5-6" diameter tool that will allow you to pinpoint the target and then put the tool over the center of the target, push into the ground 5-6", and then pop the plug out of the...

    Excal Operation?

    Am using the Excal in fresh water. Set it up like Gulfhunter recommends. Get a barely audible high threshold and then start searching. I think I run across some iron and the threshold changes to a low growl. I can reset the threshold to a high tone by running the coil next to the scoop. Is...
