ET finally bit the dust:cry:

Been having issues with ET and was hoping to make it until the winter sets in before I send her in. Not gonna happen. Already I have had the machine turn itself on, again and again, if I bump something. Also did a over voltage shut down on me while I was detecting with the rechargeables in it. Then it developed a problem with the audio. It would go from full volume down to barely audible and stay that way until I tap the side of the machine. (in the old days that would have been a short.) These days it's probably faulty software, who knows! But today, just as the 6AM hunt started, and right after my first hole, (1948 silver Washington), it decided not to feed the audio into the headphones anymore! Tried my buddies phones and they didn't work in ET either. Soooooo, I have to rely on the speaker, which is weak!! Top off the fact that I haven't found ANYTHING deeper than 6" and there you have it. I think officially I have a bum unit! I love the way this machine sorts through the junk, but I am disappointed in it's quality. So I guess I'll call Kellyco and then Minelab (NV) and ship her off. Bummed. And what's with all the clad today??? Not used to that. LOL. So here's today's meager finds.
 
Sorry to hear of your ET troubles, Hope you are able to get her fixed or replaced
with a new unit before seasons end. :wave:

Thanks Terri. I still have my trusty DFX so I can still hunt. I can't feed my addiction with only ONE machine:rofl: I was putting off the inevitable and should have sent it in last time it acted up. But if only I could find some new hunting grounds??? That's what I really need!!! HH
 
ahh, coinnut, you've worn her plumb out! a sendback to minelab will solve your troubles. it just takes so long. but hey, you still found a lot of targets, even though it's clad. i know you still have your wicked ol' white's, so, not to worry, the white's can fill in whilst the minelab is repaired... or are you looking to buy a new machine? hh,

I'm sorry Coin Nut, I couldn't resist.

Hope they get your buddy back soon and in good shape.

Seems like the DFX should keep you going.

Happy Hunting,

Tabdog
 
ET is the abbreviation for Minelab's newest machine The E Trac. It's a great machine, but sometimes you can get a bad unit.
 
Hey Coinnut sorry to hear about the ET. I know it kinda bums you out. I am glad you have the DFX to keep hunting. I know Minelab will get you fixed. Good luck with it, Beale.
