    Just When You Think Your Getting Really Good

    you find out there is still a lot to learn. I had thought that after two years of using the E-Trac I had learned it well and my education of it was about over. I was wrong. I hunt a lot of parks and use TTF in some of the iron infested areas and its found a few goodies that I would have missed...

    Did Pretty Good Today

    Spent a good share of today in the field I've been hunting. I found several broken pieces of jewelry, two marbles, a nice ctotal bell, a national defense medal, a WWI US Army American Expeditionary Forces nurses dog tag, five pennies, one no date buffalo nickel, one v-nickel, one clad dime, and...

    Need Some Rain Pleeeeease

    My good field was planted last Tuesday and I have permission to keep hunting it. I went in right after planting and signals were all over the place. I think the loose ground and air pockets in it are messing me up. Even iron signals are bouncy LOL. Took a drive today and there is water standing...

    Two More Indians Today.

    I was hoping to search the area today around a third old house site in the field I've been hunting. As soon as I pulled into the drive going into the field the farmer came over and told me that due to liability issues I can't hunt there until they are done planting but I could go back and hunt...

    Had A Good Day In The Field

    I spent about 8 hours this afternoon trying to work a house site in a field before it gets planted. This site is totally iron and nail infested so I had to hunt super slow. My better finds were 2 memorial cents, 1 wheat cent, 2 indian cents, 1 clad dime, 1 silver dime, 2 V-nickels, 3 tokens, 5...

    Star and I got out for a little bit today.We didn't find a lot but it was fun. We found the usual clad, one silver, a few wheats, three dog tags, and an MIA USAF memorial bracelet for a downed pilot over Laos. Sorry, no pictures tonight.

    Finds From Last Weekend

    These are my finds from a weekend fun hunt our club had at an area park. The pictures show my total finds from Friday, Saturday, and part of Sunday. I learned a valuable lesson about swing speed with the Etrac. I've hunted with the Etrac for a couple years and usually keep my swing speed fairly...

    My Finds From Fridays Hunt With Larry

    Had a chance to hunt for a couple hours with Larry this last Friday. I didn't find any gold but I didn't get skunked either. I found $2.68 in clad, a clad dime that had been flattened by a train, a strange small lincoln cent, a 1950 Rutherford B. Hayes token from the Meet The Presidents Game...

    Worlds Smallest Quarter?

    Thought some of you might like to see this 25 cent gold piece. It belonged to my Great Grandmother and is not a metal detector find. Its called a California Small-Denomination Gold Piece. These were minted between 1852 and 1883. They were minted in 25 cent, 50 cent, and 1 dollar denominations...

    Cleaning Tarnished Pennies And Clad

    I'm recommending this for new tarnished pennies and clad only, not for the older collector coins. The extra ingredient I use in the tumbler mix is CITRATE. Its a liquid laxative that can be purchased at most drug stores for $2.00 to $3.00 for a 10 ounce bottle. In the tunbler I use a handful of...

    Nice Flat Button

    Did a little field hunting before the ground froze in December. I didn't find any old coins but I was able to pull up a couple old flat buttons. Here is the best one and also a short description of what it might be that I received on another forum. Definitely a civilian "floral" design on the...

    Be Careful What You Throw In The Scrap Bucket

    I post mostly on the P.A.T.H. forum but read the E-Trac forum daily. This forum has been a huge help in learning my machine. I found this during a club hunt at a local park last year. Thinking it was just an old tool tag I didn't pay much attention to it at the time but because there was some...

    Be Careful What You Throw In The Scrap Bucket

    I found this during the club hunt at Lake Storey. Thinking it was just an old tool tag I didn't pay much attention to it at the time but because there was some writing on it I threw it in the tumbler yesterday with my found pennies to get a better look at it. After cleaning I still thought it...

    The club forum is extremely slow right now so here is something to think about and post your thoughts. Do you have any metal detector finds goals for 2013? Just think about it for a while. Doesn't have to be a lot, just one or two or however many you want to post.. Here are a couple of mine. (1)...
