Some Cold Weather Finds - Barber Half and Other Big Silver

Thanks. When you say the ground is too difficult for E Trac, are you meaning
too full of iron or mineralization?

You are always producing! 283 is a lot of silver (122 was my best ever 9 years ago).

Finds like that is why I will never get rid of my E_Trac, but the ground where I hunt now is too difficult for the E-Trac.

I hope it thaws soon for you!
 
Thanks Ron, It was tough sledding last weekend around here. If I do another hunt this year it would have to be a few hundred miles further south.

Nice!!!!! Been snowy and cold here with colder temps coming at us so cant really get out per se. Hoping for a couple of old home sites to say yes but it will take a bit of thawing to get to. You are lucky you’re still out, Im jealous!!!
 
All the finds shown are finds pulled with my Minelab E-trac since my last post. All these finds were pulled from public researched sites in North and South Dakota.
The 1892s Barber half is my oldest Half ever. It is my 16th Silver Half Dollar for the year. I am currently sitting at 283 silver coins for the year.
The Triple A "National Award" Bumper Guard was a completely unexpected find in a small city park. I first dug an old sardine container which exposed a 02-45 signal which turned out to be this bumper/license guard.
It cleaned up nicely. I believe it to be 1955-60.

I figured it was about time to hang it up today when I snapped my Whites hand digger right at the handle because of semi-frozen ground. This is my 3rd Whites digger I have snapped at the handle over the years.

Thanks for Looking!
Dave

Yes, that was what I was saying. The Equinox processor is so much faster and the recover is fast enough that I am rehunting areas that had been hunted by me and others with E-Tracs to find more silver at home in town.

I am hunting in heavily mineralized and iron on farm areas of South Carolina and the response time for the E-Trac is too slow to use (I have tried using it at these sites since I love the display and tones).

My wish would be to get a new version of the E-Trac with a faster processor and give me the ferrous number and the tones.

I used the E-Trac for 11 years and waited for two years before I swapped to the Equinox. I do like the Equinox, but it doesn't give me as much information before I dig.
 
The Etrac is a silver killer - if you have silver still left in your area to find! Nice job on the finds. Does 9-46 mean anything to you? lol
