    Two days in a 40s era site with E-Trac

    I was lucky enough to get a permission for a change! A few hours yesterday and today carefully probing and digging tiny plugs in manicured grass. The dry soil conditions are a bummer. Leaving lots of pennies, and probably some dimes in the ground, but hopefully will be able to return in the...

    $1.20 in silver and love from Dotty

    What a gorgeous detecting day for the start of July. @#$%& I was behind my desk for most of it, with an obligation at 6:00 pm, which means I did not get out detecting until 7:00 pm! But it was worth the wait! A short hour and a half hunt in a park yielded these goodies. Started off with the...

    Tuesday's Finds

    Got out for a bit today at lunch and after work. Not as long as I would have liked, as the weather was ideal. Tried a few new sites that produced very little, a site I had not found much at before and one old standby. 1959D and 1942D dimes, four wheats and about a buck in clad. On my way home...

    Sixteen silver day and quarter trifecta!

    Arrived at the site in the am and in the first hour I got a 1903-O Barber quarter, not much else for a long while except a buffalo and some wheats. Got a silver Roosie (don't know which) next to a dead plug. My host got a few silver and wheats as well, but the ground was dry and the heat was...

    Goal reached! #100!

    I wish it had been a more exciting coin, but silver #100 for the year (in 3 months detecting this year) is a 1964 dime. I also picked up a 1940 quarter #101 and a 1948D dime #102 today. Best silver year ever thanks to Minelab! And I still have 6 and a half months more to detect! 510 wheaties...

    A discovery about nickels and discussion of lower conductors

    I have hesitated posing about this discovery a fellow E-Trac user put me on to. However in conjunction with a discussion with another E-Trac user about why he's not finding indian head cents, it came up again and well, here's what I said to him: "Combining the relic mode (with coins mode)...

    Today's E-Trac silver finds

    Blazing hot today, hit some parks in the morning, not much to show except the sterling watch back, a wheatie and a 1942 Canadian penny. After a nap and a rest - and waiting for the sun to set, hit a yard I was at the other day and picked up two silver Roosies 1957 and 1964D in the same hole and...

    More E-Trac silver!

    Hit a few parks with a friend and a private yard today. Six silver dimes, a Success Manure Spreader pendant/fob (I see one sold online for $140!), A shot 1915 or 1918 wheatie, and a Bruce Lee token.

    A little silver and a buffalo

    Just can't put the E-Trac down. Keeps finding the goods. 1916 buffalo, 1920D, 1945, 1947D dimes. All from previously hunted public sites.

    "Big" silver and old Buick emblem

    A nice day digging silver coins in public parks, just feet away from someone else's dead plugs. Guess they missed a few things... probably using one of those White's V3's :laugh: 1959 half, 1920S half, 1940 dime, 1941 dime, 1943S dime, 1952D dime, 1963D dime, assorted wheats and $4+ in clad...

    etrac vs v3

    Agreed. Local dealer or local detectorist is a good bet. Post here or on other forums and see if you can find someone in your area willing to show you the ropes. I absolutely would not buy top of the line to start. Get an entry level Garrett, Fisher, White's or Minelab machine and see if the...

    War Nickel Testing

    Just thought folks would like to see this. I tested 33 war nickels and the results varied quite a bit. 1 read 12-14 5 read 12-15 12 read 12-16 10 read 12-17 4 read 12-18 1 read 12-19 I know air testing is biased, but knowing the range these vary by may be helpful. Unfortunately these run...

    Hot and dry!

    Noticed almost everything the past two days has been hitting a number or two higher than usual. The only thing different is the soil is dry. Amazing what a week without rain will do. Tried going out at 10:00 and 3:00, just too hot and humid for me. Found a shady school spot around 5:00 and...

    Four days finds - silver and gold

    Eleven silver and a nice big honkin 10K class ring. I said to myself "screw cap" before I dug the ring (12-13/40-41), then I saw it in the hole and went, "that ain't no screw cap" Thursday was great, with the 1902 half (12-44, about 4-5" next to iron 11-09), 37 quarter (one way hit) and three...

    Anyone finding gold in parks full of pulltabs?

    Steve, I think you missed my point. I understand about rings and pulltabs, and I dig gold rings :thumbup: ...and pulltabs. What I was reading and trying to understand was the differences on the red and blue graphs specific to this machine that were discussed. It sounded too good to be true...
