Some Relic readings

[Jim upstate NY]

Added some relics to my list.. as you can see buttons can read all over, even same types.. probably has to do with condition and make up of button and the soil they were in.. anyway here is the list.. I have lots of different relic stuff, if anyone wants a reading on anything specific, if I have one I will swipe it.. not going to bother doing them on the explorer, as buttons generally ready all over the conductive scale on it as well

I really hate that some of the best coins fall in the low 20s and high 30s... but that's the way it is. I love this detector!

Thanks for the information list. I will be getting the Etrack in about a month, and this will help me a lot. I have been using the Exp. II with great success, and the XS before that. Thanks again, great help. HH...Jesse.

 

[Jesse W. McComas]

Thanks for the list this is very helpful to learn more about my E-Trac. Thanks again for taking the time to do this. HH...Jesse.

Can you send these file to my e-mail in excel form?

They are great I would like to print them and keep them in my hunting kit

Thanks

Can you see where a silver half falls such as a franklin half?

 

[DirtDean]

This works great for scanning in air, but as we know everthing changes in the ground. i placed two rusty nails about eight inches apart in line with eachother, and adjusted iron mask just to the point where they would null out. then i placed a silver merc in between them. clear, definite silver response audio, but the numbers read 26-32 Fe, 45-46 Co. never once did it register even close to eleven or twelve Fe. How many coins have been passed up because I, we trusted the Fe numbers thinking it was just high conductive iron? then i adjusted iron mask from 33 to 27 and it nocked out the coin altogether. I am rethinking the way i use disc patterns and will be digging a lot more junk. Does the explorers also have this problem or do they actually offer TRUE discrimination? DEAN

 

[Bugalooob]

I wonder if thats why Im not hiting any silver, I'm using the standard coin pattern

 

[jameslouis]

My E-Trac will not pick up a Franklin half dollar in coin mode. Any idea why? A dealer told me he thought it was because the Minelab is not made in the US and when it was programed, they didn't have a Franklin half dollar. Any thought woul be helpful!

 

[spdnj]

jameslouis, half and dollars are discriminated out in the coin program. hop into an open quick mask screen and pass one under the coil and you will see they fall at the very upper portion of the fe scale

 

[Brooklyn55]

Send me you e-mail address and I will send one that I have for US coins

That's what I was looking for, I started and the back of this forum, and started reading.
This will help me...
Thank's...HH..BJ

 

[CONDUCTOR7E]

Very nice and very helpfull! Thanks for putting together such a bunch of VERY cool info for all of us.

 

[E-Trac-Ohio]

Thanks a lot for taking the time to make the E-Trac target ID number charts !

[pro778]

That's a great chart you made Jim! I have it printed out from when you first posted it. I just want to say, there are a lot of new users and they shouldn't get to hung up on the numbers. I see a lot of posts about the emulator and how does this coin read or that coin. I think that air test and emulator readings go out the window when you get in the field. The biggest thing I've learned about the E-Trac is it will find more then any other detector, but you can't count on the numbers at all. They give you some what of a guide, but in different conditions they are going to be all over the place. When I started with the E-Trac I depended on the numbers to much. Now it's if it sounds good, dig it. I use the numbers to check for iron or foil, but that's about all.

 

[ScottTX]

Some good stuff. Thanks!

 

[Eagle 1]

Thanks for the info. This is a great post.

Thanks!

How do you know if it's iron or foil?
I've only had my E-trac for about 2 weeks.
