    My 1910 park is being good to me...

    I've hunted it Sunday and today for a 4.5 hour total. Mostly all clad and a couple of wheaties but fun fun fun. This place has never been hunted and I couldn't get out of a double car garage sized area either day. Got a 1951 wheat at 8 with the X8 coil at 28 sensitivity. I was tickled! Here's...

    There's gotta be a coil guru here somewhere...

    I've asked before and really would like to know, why would one coil sound better than another. Can a coil be made sloppy? Is a coil a precision made instrument that if say one strand has a slight blemish in the wire would affect it in someway? Just wondering.....

    How I spent Thanksgiving day....pics added

    Everybody here at home left the OK corral for loads of tryptophan and other holiday goodies. I had to work yesterday and tomorrow sooooo I've got the hacienda to myself for several days here, me and my babygirl Jack Russell Izzie. Got up this morning and had to run to work to check some numbers...

    Ran the Sunray Stealth X 12 on my E Trac today...

    Very nice coil to say the least. What is different is the same as the X 8 Sunray I got a couple of weeks ago. The sound is sharper has less static on targets. I do like it and will probably get one of the 5 inchers too. Can anyone explain why the sound is sharper more defined with a different...

    I got a Herke arm cuff for the E Trac....

    What a difference it makes for me. Let's my arm be in line with the detector shaft now. Helped out with the angle and glare I was seeing on the screen too. My forearm isn't huge but it is big enough it kept me from getting the shaft straight off my arm. Nice, I'd recommend it to all.

    Here's one for us to ponder....

    A few days ago I wandered out in the yard with a hand full of coins and the E Trac. I had the question in my mind about missing coins and why it would happen. I've been digging quite a few coins that were on edge or just off being on edge in the plugs I would cut out. I threw five coins on the...

    What would be your dream place to hunt?

    I'd have to say somewhere in the Northeastern US for me. These guys are raiding the US silver mint up there. What's yours?

    The better of my last two hunts....

    I mentioned a week or so ago stopping for a short hunt at a very old small park here in town. There I got a silver pocket spill in a place about the size of the pro coil with the E Trac next to a big oak tree. Here they are and a pic of a WWI coat button I found at another park. My first real...

    Ever have this problem? I'm off tomorrow and.....

    Cannot for the life of me decide where to go or just troll around some parts of town looking for something promising. I guess I'll go where ever the highway takes me!

    Anyone ever tried a Sunray X 12 on the ET?

    I'm so happy with the x 8 coil I want to try the X 12 from Sunray on the E Trac, but want to get some feedback first.

    Ran the Sunray X 8 Stealth coil on the ET today, nice!

    Ran the X 8 coil from Sunray on my E Trac today. I like it a lot. Here's some of the characteristics I really liked. BTW, I didn't know different coils from another manufacturer changed the way a target sounds? It had very clear sharp tones compared to the Pro coil. Pinpoint was dead on as it...

    Got a question about my E Trac

    I changed coils and lower rod to a different set I received today. After unlatching the upper rod and sliding it off to unscrew the coil side of the pigtail I noticed that the pigtail attached to the control box had some play in it. Is it supposed to be tight held onto the box or have a little...

    Tell us places you hunt, not the location, types of places.

    Different places to give others ideas where to look for those elusive targets. Where do you like to hunt? I tend to hunt parks or virtually any place where people have congregated over the years. I've just started knocking on doors and asking to hunt peoples yards if they look promising. I've...

    I dug a silver pocket spill today on a very short hunt....

    I got off work and eased to a place by the house here. Didn't have the camera but will take some pics when it gets back from Grandyoungun pictures at a pumpkin patch. Anyway, on the outer edge of an old fairground, this place had 3 silver quarters inside of a 6 inch circle. All silver quarters...
