This is actually kind of amazing. If you listen close you can hear the comments from the person shooting the video. I have never seen anything like this before. I have never been one to buy into this nonsense, but this makes you wonder... REAL UFO In The Sky Over Los Angeles

I got permission to hunt a government building from my friend George. I had helped him get a job a couple of times in the past, so he kind of owed me one. He no longer worked at the location I was going to hunt, but he still had a little pull to get me permission to hunt. I had not been swinging...

There is a quote from a John Steinbeck novel where he states the following, What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness. While I understand his sentiments, there is nothing sweeter in my mind than a warm December day in Colorado. All to often by this...

Sometimes life gets busy, and the needs of family take precedence over leisure time activities. I have not been out detecting in some time now, and that's OK. This is what life can be about. It just works out this way sometimes. This last Saturday I found myself once again with the time to go...

I have been reading about a new firmware update that has been released from Minelab for the CTX3030. The following features stand out... 1. No one had to ship their detector back to Minelab. 2. You can install the firmware yourself via a connection to your PC. 3. It does not cost hundreds...

I am really interested in seeing some comparisons of the CTX3030, and the E-Trac on the same targets. I have a few questions before I take the plunge and purchase the CTX unit. 1. I have been reading a lot of early reviews with reports that there is no depth advantage with the CTX3030. Given...

As luck would have it my new Detech coil showed up just prior to the weekend that my Wife, and I had scheduled for Spring clean-up. So no time for a big hunt. >:\ I did manage a couple of hours down at the old park 3 blocks from my house, and the yard and garden look great as well...

One week after finding the Seated Liberty Quarter, I found myself watching the sunrise as I headed back across the high plains of Colorado to the same little parks for another hunt. The skies were overcast to the west, and the majestic view of the Rocky mountains that has spoiled me so much in...

The short frozen winter days have gradually started giving in to the sun as it starts to climb higher and higher into the sky. With the longer days of the approaching spring, the ground here on the front range of Colorado has started to thaw. With the forecast for the weekend in the mid 60’s I...

Well, I went ahead and and ordered one of these. I just couldn't resist. Early reports are good, and it looks like it handles EMI much better than the stock coil. I am Looking forward to the extra depth as well. I guess twelve inch deep holes are just not cutting it for me anymore. lol I am...

Twas the Night before Christmas Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the forum I was viewing the messages about silver and aurum. My detectors were all hung on the wall with care, In hopes that spring soon would be here. The members were all posting about reviews they had read...

I was using Google to look for information on the E-trac and stumbled onto to this photo, and Video. I tried this on my E-Trac and sure enough it works. But what is it? The how to video found on Youtube... Minelab E-TRAC Hack

Well, I feel that I got off to a really good start with the E-Trac, even though it was a short period of time I had to hunt. I ended up with 6 Silver Dimes, 1 Indian, and about 30 Wheats in 5 hunts. The recent cold spell, and temperatures well below zero has in fact brought my season to an...

The weather is cold, but the ground remains unfrozen here in northern Colorado. I put on some extra layers of clothes and ventured out into the 30 something weather for a Hunt. The plan was to revisit a couple of small parks in two different farm towns out on the Plains. Both parks had produced...

I have been using the Whites V3 for almost 3 years now, and I am sure I will continue to use it successfully in the future, but this last week I made the investment in a new Minelab E-Trac. I am afraid my curiosity got the best of me, and I had to see for myself what all hoopla was about...

I went out Friday afternoon again to the the old park a couple blocks from my house. I went back to the trashy area where I found the Silver Dime in my first hunt with the new E-Trac. I started griding the area and digging a few more targets. I knew they were probably junk, but wanted to...

Well, I just couldn't wait for the weekend to try out my new E-Track. So, I headed out for a one hour hunt at lunch time. I just ran down to the local old park a few blocks from my house. I picked a spot that I knew had a lot of trash, and hopefully a little clad from the junior soccer games...
