Hi everyone!

I'm living in Carmarthenshire and just wanted to say Hi to you all.

Is there anyone out there from around my parts? Looking to go on a hunt with someone.

All the best, HH, Andy

Welcome to the DW Forum Andy ;)

Thanks Dryland :)

At last a sensible welcome!  ;)

welcome to the forum Andy ;D.........and thats about as much sense as you ll get out of dryland ;D

Haha, Hi Nobby! thanks buddy! just had a quick play with the Etrac in my garden and found a great bit of junk within the first few minutes!  ;D it's a piece of junk but now my piece of junk  ;D

Hey Andy . How's things buddy  :) I'm also in emlyn and me and my mate try get out whenever We can. ( never enough ) .how long you been tecting then matey ?

Hi buddy,

Cool! Blimey at last someone in Emlyn! Well, I had a Safari a couple of years back for a few months, only used it a hand full of times then sold it due to lack of use but I've just gone and brought an Etrac and dying to go out with it!....just need a pin pointer and a bloody spade now :)

Get over to cardigan bay opposite Cks for the short spade. Only about £6 . I'd recommend nokta pinpointer bloody great bit of kit for £79 . So you got transport and permissions or starting out ? I've gone through loads of machines ace 250 first , explorer se with 13 " ultimate fantastic bit of kit never sell her.  Also had whites surf master pi for beach, tried the nokta forse core, blisstool v3 now that's a deep bit of kit. The makro racer with 15" coil but hard to discrim iron and dig a lot. Are you using open screen on etrac ?

Hi bud, yeah, I was actually thinking of popping into C.B.Traders to see if they had any decent spades, think I will tomorrow! I've just totally started out buddy, no permissions (or transport for a while either) What do you mean about 'open' screen? I've used the Etrac once, yesterday afternoon in the garden...so I'm really wanting to get out and use it as it's just sitting here at the moment pal in it's new bag  :(

If you discrim then probs miss targets. Think there similar to the explorers. I run mine nearly an open screen in conductive mode so you get a grunt for iron and high tone for good targets . My silvers pot has increased with these settings.  :)

Cool, I see what you mean :)

Do you have many permissions round here? I haven't even started to ask anyone yet

That's ferrous not conductive  ;)

Ha ha, well spotted just testing chef.. Lol. Yes ferrous  not conductive but many prefer the other way but it's all down to preference .. im  Away on the crewkerne rally next wkend so won't be out local for a few weeks..

Ahh, Ok pal, have a good 'un

Will do mate. Try find my Saxon gold. Ta.

How do you get to go on these rallies buddy?

Crewkern rally was advertised on here. Other ones are on Facebook. Bed now mate, work early..  You working local ? May have seen you about.

Hi buddy, not working at the mo buddy, where do you work?

Hate to correct you, I use my etrac (open) with very little discrimination (bottom right). And I use it in conductive audio.
If you are getting a low freq. (grunt) for iron or steel and a high freq. for copper, brass, silver gold you must be using Ferrous mode.

my bad and already been corrected further up the post but thanks anyways ;D

Hi Mudbuster how are you ? yes I'm from the Carmarthenshire area Trimsaran to be exact 12 miles out from Carmarthen so in your range .I also use an etrac in the field and would like to show you how to use it a bit better ,I use 4 tone ferrous and detecting friend uses multy tone which I can use as well so no problems there .Post me and ill see if we can work going out soon with you to hit those hammies mate and I got spare equipment if needs be .....smiles ..mogsy

mogsy ,how are you mucka?i been really busy but im back weeeheee

Nice t see you back mikeeeee.......😁🤔👍

I was going to say  Oh Gawd, watch out there's a Badger about.  But it has been a tad quiet lately, he's sure to liven things up  ::)
