    Experienced Beach Hunters Only - EQ800 sucks, what should I replace it with?

    Before all the EQ800 owners mob me please hear me out. I am a lot more mature than my title. I think... Anyway I have been silver hunting for many years and would consider myself one of the best. My primary silver seekers are the ctx and etrac. My last push to find a lot of silver netted me 136...

    Anyone have a huge chunky gold ring to check the ID on?

    I'm setting the upper and lower numbers for my gold jewelry mode and wondering if anyone has a huge gold ring they could test. I plan on using 2 or 3 for the lower part on land and definitely 1 in water... But upper number I haven't decided on yet. Looking for a nice balance of huge gold rings...

    Anyone having trouble saving custom settings?

    So I switch mode to Park 2 and go to accept/reject and do some notch modifications. Hit detect and start detecting. Turn machine off and back on and they have reverted back to my settings like 2 changes ago. Repeated this several times and it would not save my settings. Then randomly one time it...

    Does the Garrett Carrot work in salt water?

    Just took a trip to Clearwater Beach in FL for a week vaca and was hugely disappointed that my Garrett Carrot would not work. It would go nuts every time I got it near the sand in the water. I adjusted the sensitivity all the way down to 1 and still no go. Didn't have room in my suitcase for a...

    26 Silver Day Door Knocking!

    JD from JD's Variety Channel and I went out for some door knocking last week and hit 26 silvers in one day. It was pretty insane and something I'll never forget lol. Just proves that the hobby is still well alive if people will get out and knock some doors =) https://youtu.be/TFGbWsRS0i0

    Live Metal Detecting Seminar - How to find lots of silver and get permission

    Hey everyone I've had a club invite me to do a live seminar on how to find lots of silver coins and get permission to detect private property. Since I'm in a different state I'll be doing an online webinar so decided to open it up to the public and invite you guys. It's free and all you have to...

    Glad to be back!

    Man I've missed this forum =) So I took a break from detecting for about 10 months cause I've been super busy and even moved out of state to TN. Finally settled and ready to hit the soil again. A lot of people asked for my etrac settings so I posted a vid last week that shows what I use. Today I...

    Fisrt Franklin half and large cent in same day woohoo!

    Had a great day last week. Got my first Franklin half and large cent in the same day. Large cent really surprised me because it was a bust and it's really hard to find coins that old in Missouri. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU6VD-eGhxE

    Looking for a lightweight, basic, yet powerful unit - Any suggestions?

    I use an etrac as my main machine but I'm looking for something specifically for woods hunting. Basically I want a unit that is lightweight, powerful enough to hit deep silver, and has circuitry to deal with moderate mineralization and discrimination of rusty nails effectively. Not worried about...

    Looks cool but what the heck is it?

    Found this while hunting today. I feel like I should know what it is but I don't. It's a little larger than a dime and looks like it clips on a cuff link or button or something. Any ideas on what it is and the age?

    Old man hit a jackpot and didn't even know it lol

    Lemme tell you a little about my Dad... He started detecting about 100 years ago and is primarily a coin shooter. After being a loyal Garrett user for about 30 years I introduced him to minelab and he now uses an E-trac. He doesn't have a computer and as far as technologically goes he's about as...

    On board with standing liberty

    Went out for about 3 hours the other day to do some snow hunting =) 2 hours in hadn't found much of anything and then got a silver ring and dated standing which saved the day. Persistance always pays off. Can't count the number of times when I found something good just because I stayed an extra...

    First GB half crown =)

    Found my first bigger silver of the year and it ended up being a 1942 British half crown. Funny how foreign coins show up randomly from time to time. I always wonder how they got there and the story behind it =) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP8XLRmYUPQ

    Old bulldozed home gives up silver quarters scattered on surface!

    Dad got a tip from an old man about a house that was bulldozed down about a year ago. The man said he knew a girl that found silver coins on the surface of the ground. He also told Dad that he thought the lady that lived there threw change in her back yard. After hunting there for a while we...

    6x8 SEF sniffs out some silvers from a previously hunted trashy area

    Took the 6x8 SEF coil and headed to a big mansion I've been pulling a lot of stuff from. Managed to get 3 more silvers out of an area I've hunted twice and Dad has hunted once with larger coils. It's always fun to squeak out good targets amongst the trash =)...

    TTF vs Conductive Park hunt

    Went out for a while a few days ago and messed around with TTF and conductive mode at a big park. Found a silver quarter that was a really iffy signal one way so did some experimenting with TTF and conductive on the signal. I think there was some trash mixed in. Also got a few small silvers...

    Super deep 9" + signal and live dig on a silver Washington

    Just wanted to post this to show an example of another super deep silver coin on the e-trac for those of you who're interested. Didn't find a ton of silvers but was excited to get a deep one =) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cVQrG6uQKI

    Steamboat Arabia - An Absolutely Amazing Experience

    I meant to post this a while back but forgot to. Last year I took a trip to Kansas City and visited a museum called the Steamboat Arabia (www.1856.com). Basically there was a large ship transporting goods from St. Louis to Ohio in 1856 and it sunk in the Missouri river. After many failed...
