    Coins in containers ~> What signal will I get?

    Thanks for posting your test results, AVXVA. I'm curious to know what the readings would be with a vintage Mason jar and the zinc lid... If I weren't in the middle of moving i would try a similar test with an old Mason jar.

    Coins in containers ~> What signal will I get?

    Bury a test jar and try it. The $10 golds may not be handy but you can try using other items I once found a lid and the intact jar about 8" down but i forgot the number. I saw that and prayed like crazy that the jar would be full of gold and silver. It wasn't

    Does Battery Power Effect E-Trac performance?

    Thanks! I need something better than a factory battery. About 2 years after buying the Etrac the original would last maybe 4 hours after being plugged into the charger for better than a week. It finally crapped out and would not hold a charge at all. A factory replacement lasts maybe 2 hours...

    How old constitutes Vintage anyway?

    Still have my Sovereign XS w. Sun Ray DTI 2 meter attached (bought it in '97). It has found more silver than any other detector I've owned. Of course those hot spots were 'virgin' sites. The newer detectors (Etrac, 800, and AT Gold) purchased over the years have recovered very little wherever...

    E-Trac batteries ...can a 5v wall charger hurt them??

    I've noticed that the E-Trac batteries would not charge...one of them showed only a bar after charging for a whole day, the other had nothing. I've considered tossing both and ordering RNB batteries. Finally realized that the wall charger i was using is for wireless headphones. I moved a few...

    Minelab Equinox 800 finds 1,200 GOLD STATERS!!!!

    Damn. Very cool!!! I'd change vacation plans for a chance at digging up something like that...too bad anything of 'historical significance' or value dug up in England stays in England (unless the finder can shut up about their find and somehow smuggle it out of the country) There are many...

    Surprised seated and lots of clad and Kennedy half

    Very nice finds!! Love the seated I'm not at all surprised that it was found on school grounds. Many schools were built on the same grounds that the old schools were on....around here anyway.

    Get Off My Land..!!

    Yes...that can happen. Unless the 'saving of the location' is shut off in the phone camera settings, the GPS coordinates of where a pic was taken can be found in the pic info. Either take a picture of your finds in a Wal-Mart parking lot, or change the camera settings. There have been stories...

    New Etrac guy joining the forum!

    As stated already, the e-trac is a great machine for silver. There are so many options for custom settings and patterns to suit you. A lot of people use two-tone ferrous. I started with the coin mode to learn the machine, and eventually made my own custom patterns. There are so many videos on...

    Who does the wiggle wiggle?

    Do it all the time. I've dug up many good targets...it's pretty much necessary in trashy farm sites.

    Bonehead mistakes...........

    I've forgotten the shovel a few times. I had to use a garden digging tool instead of the small shovel..which is what I primarily use in the old farm sites and fields. The shovel now stays in the truck at all times. Also have driven off to a hunt site and had forgotten to charge the e-trac...
