silver tri-fecta with 1853 liberty seated dime

Hunted all day Saturday with Goes4Ever, and had a great time. We Decided to hunt in my neck of the woods, and do some door knocking. I ended up with a total of 4 silver for the day, (Washington, 2 Merc's and 1 Rosie) and a commemorative coin commemorating our American Soldiers, allot of Wheat's and some Clad. Goes4Ever did much better, as you will see in his post. I kept up with him on the silver finds for the first half of the day, but his experience soon took over and he whooped me LOL. Had a great time, and he is one heck of a teacher. I am new with the E=trac, and He has helped me tremendously. Looking forward to a growing friendship, and many more successful hunts with him.
Sunday, I ventured out with another friend of mine, and we got permission to hunt the grounds where an old 1800's abandoned church still stands. Signals were far and few with an occasional Wheat penny. After an hour, we quickly realized it was a dud, and time to move on. I was making my way to my truck, made it to the stone parking area, now grown over with weeds and grass, and got a decent signal with a nice tone. Was actually giving me a steady Wheat Penny signal with an occasional 12-45, So I decided to dig. Got through the first 2" of soil, and into about 6-7" of hard compacted gravel and stone, and finally about 2" of Hard clay, their it was, what a site, my first 1853 seated liberty dime. Excellent detail, except for the slight nick on the edge, not sure if it was from me, or from the past 150 years under jagged rocks.
I almost gave up because of the hard digging, so glad I didn't turn lazy on this one.

So far he has taught me to trust the E-Trac, slow down and let it to what it was designed to do. I have only been detecting for 3 months now. I decided to upgrade from the Garrett AT Pro to the E-trac. 2 completely different machines!! After about 1 weak with the E-trac, I was ready to put it on Ebay and try to get most of my money back, count my losses and go back to the AT Pro. I had never met G4E before, just read all his posts and watched his dig videos. Out of desperation, I messaged him venting my disgust in the E-trac and asking for advise. He set a date for me to make the 1 hr plus trip to his town to meet and do a day hunt and see what he could do to help. Just having him their to watch and to ask technical questions when I was unsure was all I needed. We had a great time, I settled down, found the love for the hobby again, and started to understand some of the E-Trac language. We made plans to hunt together the following weak, and those are the posts you are seeing. I have a long way to go to completely learn the machine, but at least G4E got me rolling and finding the good stuff. I am going to soon be purchasing a better camera, So I will be posting all my finds each week. Also would like to say thanks to everyone on this forum, I have read your posts, your how-to discussions and the advise you always have for one another. They have all helped me a great deal.... So Thank you!!!

You Are Amazing!

Given your ability to reach out and make the efforts during your frustration will lead you to success

As if what you have accomplished with your Trifecta and the Seated is not a Major Success itself it is just the Beginning!

Congratulations to You and Special Greetings to G4E who has reached out to many and developed his Site to Generously Educate Us All :clapping:
