Several of you know I've had an E Trac for almost two years. I've gotten pretty dang efficient with it, I thought. You can hunt like most do and seperate out the good easy targets and a few of the harder to get ones. I've hunted a bunch of places and found a lot of good targets since that ML box...

I've been wanting an Excal II for a while and finally got one yesterday. Tell me about your settings and why you have them there and anything that could be helpful to me. I'm gonna throw a bunch of jewelry and coins in the pool tomorrow mid day and turn it on for the first time to see what noise...

Went to a place that myself and a couple of great hunting friends have hit before. A small back yard next to some old lots we have burned everything out of the ground with the minelabs. I learned what my detector was telling me today, went to school in other words. That very high pitched silver...

I moved all my settings to the settings that he uses then scattered silver and clad all over the grass in the front yard. Wow what a difference in the tones! I had my variabilty too low and entered all of them as you listed. Every coin had a totally different tone. I was getting all of them at...

Got permission to hunt a young ladies 81 front yard yesterday. We chatted for about and hour and she said have at it. Her front yard is no more than 2:blackeye:20 yards and surrounded by sidewalk and driveway. The house next door was vacant and in need of repair and she informed me to hunt it...

How much of the ferrous side do you have discriminated out. Really what is the highest or lowest on the ferrous side you have dug a good coin. I've got mine open all the way to 29 ferrous. I'm trying to set up a more liberal disc pattern but really think I've gone to far. Catching a lot of iron...

I've changed the places I hunt and it's made my quality of finds go up a lot. Yesterday afternoon I dug a nice merc and several wheats along with some clad. I started using Angel's settings on the ETrac he listed here. Using the long tone really helps uncover the targets in the trashy old home...

Haven't posted much here lately but I see I can do it from my droid now. Found a cool BSA. Cubs silver ring today along with a handful of wheats and a little clad. I've been hunting old home lots here in town. Tough hunting but worth it.

Last spring I hunted my old high school about 8 times with the X 70 then the X705 when it came. Found a lot of coins and a couple of wheats just outside of what we called when I was there the student center. Brick and concrete benches in a small area outside. I spent a lot of time out there...

We had a blast. I'm absolutely sure we'll be back tomorrow. Here's the movies for ya'll to enjoy. Good stuff right here and we are proud of this hunt. Babygirl got 13 pennies, 4 nickels thumbsup01, 2 dimes and one quarter. Several pulltabs, 1 button, one buckle, a coat button, and a small piece...

Well tomorrow the big adventure begins. Babygirls first detecting trip. BBG wore out the field next door for a couple of hours this afternoon. Let me tell you, this is as exciting as a trip to the hunting club for the weekend for her. I've been asked 115,000,000,000 questions which I love BTW...

In your honor I put on some thick clothes, it's 53 here now, BRRRR.... And I proceeded to go and dig a handful of clad in a couple of hours today with the E Trac. 19 pennies, 2 dimes, and 2 quarters. I have hunted this spot several times and went right back over it with my X 5 coil and was...

I looked for a used one for a while like this but they are hard to find. A guy here in town got a Compadre for Christmas from one of his kids and needed some money so the price brand new was excellent. My babygirl asked for one right before Christmas and I have learned to be patient. She is...

I'm a market manager in a huge meat dept in South Carolina across the river from us. Spent right at 32 years in an Anhydrous Ammonia plant here in Ga. as the control board operator and decided I'd had enough of shift work a couple of years ago. I'm coming full circle I guess you can say. When I...

I've not read anywhere this topic discussed. What do you listen for or look for on the readouts? How do you decide that there is more than likely something there to dig? Tell us how you detect in other words. I know a lot are itching to know. Please be specific. Write us a book if you are bored...

Had about 30 minutes to hunt and that was pushing it. Got a 1942 Newfoundland dime. It was about 8 inches deep with a nail in the hole just above it. Well the nail came out first :grin:

I hunted a place in town that is very old and had a lot of people around it for many many years. Ten minutes out of the truck I got a full scale deep on the E Trac but repeatable signal. 17-18 FE and 44 on the conductivity. At about 10 inches down the Garrett pinpointer started ringing in the...

I received my first detector. An X 70, started buying all the coils for it and about April got a 705. Used it for a while along with the 70. Found a lot of stuff with them both. In June got an E Trac and have never looked back. Aquired three Sunray coils over the next 4 months, the Stealth X 5...

Going to take a vacation somewhere for a week of detecting. Help me out here ya'll. When would be the best time to go and for what it's worth where? I'm thinking of driving and just staying in a motel each night. Anytime in 2010, spring preferably, I need the break. Any ideas would be...
