It's not the detector... or is it?

There's something to say about familiarity, and can you buy your way to being a better detectorist?

Maybe, maybe not.

In the hands of the right person who is innately familiar with a machine, he/she will work rings around the multi thousand dollar machine. This, as a greenhorn detectorist, I am learning.

Fighting tall grass, and a big 13 coil on the Etrac I finally pulled some deeper wheats.


I'm thrilled to have them. Knowing tones, for me, is the key. Deep signals react differently in soil strata and that signature sound minelab makes is hard to beat.

I love my f70, I'm getting to know the deus, but the Etrac on coins is tough to beat.

I wish my soil was that damp right now. Wet soil is ideal conditions in finding deeper coins. What is the depth on the wheat?

My dirt looks white right now

Its a good feeling reaching a milestone with our detectors.

As the great Gary says "we only know what were finding and not what were missing"

Yes 6 inches on one, the other was 5 on edge. My soil in Chattanooga is clay Loam, with chert bands here and there. The clay I feel slows sink rate on coins. Deepest I've dug was 8.5 inches 1888 Indian head.
We've had some good rain lately. I hope it keeps up.
