    Do you dig 'em?

    Hello everybody!! So I only have about 5 hours on the AT Pro. For all of you that have more - who are most of you I'm sure - what signals do you dig by practice? For example, I spent some time (Pro Zero, Disc 40) in a park this weekend, filled with trash, and was passing (prob stupidly) on...

    First Impressions

    Hello All - just swung my new AT Pro today for the first time! My previous detectors include a Minelab E-trac and Excalibur. Let me say I am very, very impressed. I ran in Pro Zero with 40 Desc. The detector was comfortable and very easy to hear and "understand" what's its telling you. It...

    Newbie Excal - Freshwater Settings Advice - Please!

    Hello all, I excited as I just got my new Excalibur II 1000 - can't wait to swing it. Now comes the fun part - starting to get to know the machine. I'm coming to this from an E-Trac so I'm assuming the Excal is much easier to pick up. I am hoping to get a little advice from you Veterans...

    Just curious - worst weather hunt you can remember?

    Ok - it was 95* here in Michigan today - and this E-Trac addict needed to go swing it for a couple of hours this afternoon. What a knucklehead! Figured I could find some shade in a local small park. Well I found some shade but it sure didn't change the heat!!! Ouch. What do I have to show...

    Street Tear Out..not sidewalk. Thoughts?

    Hello All, I live in a city that was 'Established in 1837" - which is pretty cool...not many parks open to MD'ing. Working on some homes for permission. In the meantime, I just noticed last night that one of the streets has been torn out...I'm sure to lay new pavement shortly. Not the...

    Ok All. Given an E-Trac, Small Coil, Bill's Trashy Park Program (Mode Actually)....is it as simple as swinging slowly....listen for the high-tones that still come through and dig ALL of them? Or, dig only the high-tones that hit a certain CO# 30's +??? A couple tips from you veterans that...

    Hello - I just bought a 5" Excelerator EQ2 Pro search coil for a great price on EBay. The listing described it as being for an "Explorer II". Also, the picture and decals on the coil looks like the one for the Garrett machines - different from the KellyCo EQ2 Etrac coils on their site today...

    Always bring the Etrac too....

    So I went to the Upper Peninisula in Michigan for a fly fishing trip this weekend. We decided to rough it in an old small campground. Figured I'd take the E-Trac with me just in case I had a few min's to swing it around. Well, as luck would have it - grabbed an hour for just that - before we...

Seems like there's some good YouTube footage on successful hunts in woods...figured...

    Am I searching the right spot???

    Hello All, Just want your thoughts on something...from all your experience. I found a 1964 Washington last night in a new field I found. Great! All the other clad I pulled out was from the late 1960's and 70's and 80's - and there was a decent amount of it. If I'm desperate for some older...
