Hi Guys,

A new app was done to automate the creation of E-Trac and SE emulator target files...

Creating emulator target files by hand requires the following steps:

This file is fallout from the V3i spreadsheet (working on it...not done yet). I wanted to have a graphical method of inputting a discrimination pattern without having to select a bunch of numbers....

Cool...sooner or later one of those good sounding zincs wil be a honkin' gold ring. I guess, if you decide to dig them, quick retrieval is the only way to minimize the time spent on them.

Yeah, it always seems to come back to that. The tests were done with modern jewelry sites in mind where zincolns can be a problem. We'll see if this goes anywhere...it will take a few months to see...

FYI - I did some further testing in as close to real world conditions as I could and it looks like it is very difficult to tell the difference, even using Phase.

So, I'm going to keep my eye on...

BTW - If anyone wants to help test Phase as a reliable indicator...

The DFX chart on that page of Neil's site was created by me long ago. Look again and you will see a chart done by Neil for the V3. The data comes from Neil's Spectra V3 Normalization Comparison Excel...

Thanks Manuellar. If you look at Neil's Spectra V3 Normalization Comparison (http://www.freewebs.com/neilinwestjersey/v3anddfxtips.htm) you will find that the zinc cents and other items sharing the...

The V3i has some differences, but the Analyze feature and Ground Probe will provide the same info. There is a Polar Plot Analyze feature that is added, but the regular Analyze is still there. They...

Yeah...Phase may be the key. It may seem like Zooming on Ground Tracking, etc. to do a Probe may be a hassle, but, if it works, it will be faster than digging a hole. I plan on doing probe readings...

When jewelry hunting I have tried to dig quality signals in the zinc cent range and in the upper pulltab range as well. Zinc cents generally fall in the 50 to 60 range. The upper pulltab range is, to...

Best long handled shovel, IMO, is the Rigid 4 trenching shovel...I call it the backhoe. I painted mine forest green to blend in a bit better.

A little googling provided the following info...

Thanks xzlr8n!

I use the V for jewelry/large areas (more modern parks and sports fields, tot-lots, etc.) and the E for coin shooting or lots of trash...love them both, just use them for different...

That's pretty cool...will have to try it out.

I looked at the ExII and SE files and there was no indication of who did them...Max may have done them himself. If you unzip the SE file and compare it to an unzipped E-Trac file you will see the...

I have one and it works well, but there are about 500 settings, so it pays to learn at least what each group of settings does. Here's a spreadsheet that has all the settings definitions (in a comment...

Thanks all for your very kind welcome! :)

Hi John - I haven't seen one specifically for Australian coins for the E-Trac, but the files are not too hard to create if you're so inclined. A file does exist for the Explorer II and SE, but not...

Lol...this is a great site and forum and I am happy to be a new member :yes: I wish it didn't take me 6 months to find it, though :beatdown:

If I find anything decent I'll let you know, but some...

Hi folks,

I checked the Emulator and found that the tones did sound a bit low. I checked Variability and Limits (Audio -> Tone ID) and found that they were not set to maximum. The definitions for...
