I finally got permission to hunt an old area. Back in the 1800s. There was once a hotel saloon three stores and a black Smith's shop. But now it's all pasture land and stubble. I had about two hours to hunt and a light drizzling rain. I made the best of what I could with the time I had. I was...

Mods feel free to move this If I posted in the wrong forum. I received this e-mail from mine lab yesterday on my warranty. Funny thing is I registered my machine back in February. So that means my warranty started yesterday :happydance01: Not really but I thought It was sort of strange...

This was posted on another forum concerning double cursors on the Etrac. I noticed my Etrac had done this since new but really paid no attention to it. But it seems to affect alot of etracs. As far as performance I see no lost. Minelab said they would replace the board or upgrade the software...

Everyone knows the Etrac coil is good in trashy areas. But there is that word again. I have a 10 inch joey coil made by coiltec. I have had good luck in the past using this coil but not at this site. My plan is to use the smaller coil to pick out and remove the trash. Then go back with the stock...

Went back to my honey hole for a few hrs and dug this. From what I can see it looks like a shield nickel and it is old. I have it soaking in olive oil. I got a 12-12 - 12-13 at 6 inches thinking a buffalo nickel. It was pretty well crusted looked like a nickel to me. I rubbed it some and noticed...

I have been looking at this house down the road from me. Just never stopped to ask if I could hunt it. Well the other day temptation got the better of me and I stopped to see. Seen this lady out in the pecan orchard picking up pecans and ask if I could detect her yard. She said no problem just...

I went back to my spot to do some civil war hunting. Did not find a thing at all. But I did get a good lead but that's for next time. But I did run into a fellow who has been relic hunting since the late sixties. He has a really nice collecting going on. Enjoy the pics.

I took a mini vacation four days to do some metal detecting. I had plan to go coin shooting but ended up relic hunting on the river. I left the E-trac in the car and used the whites mxt better suited to me for relic hunting. If you notice the object in my hand trying to figure out what it is...

I figured I had found enough bullets and headed towards town. I went and knocked on doors and got permission to hunt some of the old places. I tried to hunt the older stores that once stood next to the waters edge . Some places that I thought I would score well I came up empty handed . Maybe...

I received my new e-trac monday. I put it together and did not bother reading the manual I don't need no stinking manual. I played with it outside for a few minutes I like it. It's really not that heavy at all. It feels lighter than my mxt well balanced and feels good in my hands. I am going to...
