Anyone do any Metal Detecting?

[JAG1]

I'm learning how to run a Whites MTX e tracker. It's an old one they still make because it such a good unit. Very popular. The reason I bought it is it's still new from 2011 and I got it for $450 with the carry bag, pin pointer and earphones.

 

Anyone familiar with these?

Aren't they all similar, diferent tones for different metals, then you can turn up gain for depth etc. I think just playing with it some, you'll figure it out. Put some random stuff on the floor and see how it acts, then raise it up and and see if signal fades at what distance.

I have a brand new metal detector, had it 2-3 years now and I think I turned it on once to see if it worked.  I really want to take it camping but I always forget.

I had one as a kid years ago Radio Shack one.

Just got back camping with it. Fun learning how to use it. Found lots of empty shell casings and a few bullets. One live 22 round, 22 cents in change, no silver and some trash of course. Fun part is not knowing what you'll find when you hit a good target. You never know til you dig. Last camp on the way home had no one else there, but had to go after an hour of detecting.

 

My titanium hammer got buried on the job so I'll be getting that back and there is an old stagecoach road to check out too .

 

Hey..... how come I'm not at least a gold member? Sheesh you'd think I'm lead member the way you got me listed Mike!

You're  a memeber of the Board. Pretty prestigious. Maybe @Mopar1973Man can bump you to Titanium, if you can find your hammer.

I did find IBMobiles new titanium hip. Just about blew the earphones off my head. You know every bit of practice helps learn more about it. LOL

@JAG1 you might go deaf if you're near my leg 

[JAG1]

BBHD, is that from an accident? 

[BBHD]

Yes Sir

                                 I wore my hip out from River Dancing 

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

 @BBHD yours is just mean luck.

That qualifies as wreck. They appear to have used some bailing in the repair, but I cant find the duct tape.

Wholy-b-gin-nikies! BBHD, that looks like a bad one.... how did that happen?

 

More like IBMobiles' wore out chasing girls after the dance. He always won their favor when mentioning Chic-Fil-A.
