One day while at work, A good friend of mine told me he bought some property with some old houses on it. He said I was welcome to detect there if I wanted. Needless to say, I was so excited. Getting to the site one evening after work, I was floored by how old the houses were. They still had stacked rock foundations, so I knew it was gonna be a good chance to find some goodies.

I found a lot of nice coins there, Barber dimes, wheat pennies, a Three pence coin, a Penny from Japan, small jewelry items, and several Tax Tokens. But my favorite find was this GAR Medal for a Lyman U Humphrey.

On the 12th of June this year I decided to go detecting at an old farm with plenty of history, I have several other brands of detectors and none have found hammered. I've found a hammered with an X-TERRA 70 and now my most recent hammered is a Queen Elizabeth I Third/fourth issue sixpence. Mintmark eglantine, 1573-1578. Dated 1575 in almost nearly perfect condition since the day it was minted.

Minelab have always detected hammered for me and what a great result.

In June 6, 2011, I went to the beach in Ventura California for a quick hunt in the wet sand with my E-TRAC. For an hour I worked a beach cut that give me a few corroded coins, pull tabs and a corroded ring with a tiger eye stone that I first considered as a brass junk ring.

It was until the next day after another wet sand hunt, that I discovered by accident that the cheap ring turned out to be silver ring with a tiger eye stone.

The ring got wet with drops of salt water from the next morning hunt while I was sorting out my finds and I noticed how it reacted with the ring's brown tarnish.

I got really excited that cheap ring was in fact a nice silver ring with a tiger eye stone.

This whole mess of metal detecting started when my friend got his first Bounty Hunter and showed me how it worked in the front yard of my house. I was instantly intrigued and thought it was very interesting and really neat. Soon after getting the idea and learning how to do it, what to expect and precautions of detecting, I purchased my first detector. It was a Garrett Ace 250 and I had a lot of fun with it for 2 years from 2009 to early 2011 netting my first silver dime and first silver ring. After a while of detecting, I took it upon myself to watch some metal detecting videos on youtube. One thing I noticed during some of the videos was that people were having a very high success rate with the Minelab E-TRAC.

Hi, I am a member of Dewsbury Metal Detecting Club.

At the weekend on a local dig I had to borrow a metal detector from a gentleman called Gordon. I haven’t got a metal detector at the moment, but I am saving my money for a Minelab E-TRAC. Quite a few members of the club have those type of machines, and from what they have told me, have had great success.

My father and I have been detecting for a couple of years never finding much but clad. I finally get into the hobby a bit more and purchased the E-TRAC! I un-boxed it and charged the battery overnight while I read through the user guide. I took it outside the next morning and first signal I dug with it ended up being a 1906 Indian Head Penny.

I have been using the Minelab E-TRAC for almost 2 years now and can say without a doubt that it is the best machine for the type of detecting that I do. I primarily hunt cellar holes and abandoned home sites from the 1700's - early 1800's here in the NH/VT area. All of the sites are trashy and require the best equipment on the market.

The other day, after receiving permission from the land owner, I was able to get out and detect an old cellar hole that had been hit by many detectorists with lesser machines. After about 10 minutes at the site, I received a nice high tone accompanied by the numbers 09-41 near the edge of the old stone foundation. I decided to dig even though there were lots of ferrous and non ferrous bits of trash in the area.

Following a decade absence from treasure hunting and gold prospecting, I was fanging to get back out to my favourite historical sites armed with the latest cutting-edge technology from Minelab. I had previously worked a Minelab XT 18000 for several years and unearthed various relics and coins including British pennies dated from the 1860’s, and also a bucket load of $1 and $2 coins on the beaches.

After several days of on-line research of various reliable sources, I made my decision in terms of a suitable “beeper stick”. It had to be a Minelab X-TERRA 705 or nothing mate! I forked out “a gorilla of gold coins” (1000 bucks) and scored an X-TERRA 705 dual coil package – for my pending return to adventures within the best of both worlds – coin/relic hunting and gold nugget detecting.

The start of my second season with my E-TRAC brought hopes of exciting finds. We're lucky to hunt seven months a year with the snowy and frozen Ohio weather so I was anxious to get out and start detecting.

It was a beautiful June morning, 75 degrees and sunny. I decided to hunt a particular place in a local park that I had been playing in since I was a young child. It's a large urban park, around one hundred years old, and well hunted by many previous metal detectors. The grassy field I was hunting was not providing much, only clad and one wheat penny. I than moved over to an old parking area, which was very trashy sounding. I was swinging my 11-inch coil slowly, trying to hear that crisp, clear silver sound.

This past Memorial weekend I was up in Northern Michigan at my buddys cabin and he took me to a little beach around 7 miles away to do some water hunting with my Excaibur II. This is a man made lake and I quickly learned it wasn't going to be easy to hunt because of the clay bottom. Bringing up every scoop was a workout in itself, and then trying to get it to sift was another. The water was still only around 65 degrees so I was wearing my waders.

A friend Markoss and I had detecting access to an 1850’s homestead site on private country land. We had detected there twice previously and un-earthed some great old Australian tokens and British coins from our early colonial days dated between 1806 and 1910. The odd piece of jewellery and some brass dog registration tags from as early as 1889 also came to light. To us it had been a dream spot but with both of us using E-TRAC's we thought that the area had been covered fairly well by our third trip. Our thinking was correct and finds of note were much harder to come by.

Minelab zou geen ( oud ) goed kunnen vinden wordt wel eens gezegd door vooral White gebruikers. Nu had ik al een paar dikke ringen gevonden. Maar niet echt oud dun goud.

Reken maar dat ik de critici heb stil gekregen, het is een zeer unieke vondst geworden...

'Some White's users say Minelab users cannot find old thin gold with their detectors. I already found some big gold rings but no thin gold. Now I make the critics silent with an exceptional find...

On a recent trip to Upstate New York to visit my brother, we decided to do a little detecting along the Hudson River. Not long into the hunt, I came upon a good hit. Digging down about six inches, I found what looked like a pipe stuck straight down in the ground. My brother said, "Come on, leave it, it's just a pipe." But I hate to ignore a hit. " Hold on," I told him, "let me see if I can get it out."

Last week hunting for very ancient coins. Difficult time to do, but found a nice small place. Don't think to find a lot of things and coins. 9 hours of searching, but what a rush when a old coins come out of the ground. Some Keltisch coins and relic's from 2100 yearold. And some midevil coins.

Hunted with my E-TRAC, and small coil. Stil floating on a cloud.....

E-TRAC....THANK YOU , again.

Hello.

Explorations have been dealing with for 15 years. I go to the places already searched and still find something. Equipment has exceeded my expectations.

I chose a place that every year a dozen people searches. I did not count on something interesting. I expected to find some buttons Tsarist infantry, or scales. After 5 minutes of walking my E-TRAC signaled colored object on the screen. I started to dig.

After witnessing firsthand the effectiveness of the GPX Minelab Detectors at the March 2011 BMW Relic Hunt in Orange Co. Virginia, I threw my hat in the ring and bought a GPX 4800. Orange Co. Virginia is well known to have some of the most mineralized soil in existence in the metal detecting world. At that relic hunt, in that super hot ground, I saw a relic hunter dig over 90 Civil War bullets in 2 ½ days. Some of the bullets were at the 14 inch level. Without a doubt, Minelab’s GPX Series detectors just plain kicked the other detectors butts at that hot ground hunt.

I have been searching for lost treasures many times before at an old 1790's homestead with several different detectors....but it wasn't with a Sovereign GT with the iron mask feature!

After selling my other detectors and purchasing my Sovereign GT, it was time to re-examine all the spots I detected in the past....

So here I am swinging along where the home use to be. (approx built in the 1790's) So much garbage and so many loud metal signals ( old cans, pipes, old car parts, etc etc etc) my head was ready to blow off lol. I kept on saying to myself, ( not only today but many times over the last few years) "There has to be something here at this is an old home. They had to of dropped something....." so after covering the lot where the house use to sit, I walked across the old driveway. (Settings: Audio is set to max, iron mask on, auto sensitivity, disc and notch off, light threshold).
