    17" Wiggle Pinpointing

    Hi Everyone - I've been contemplating buying the 17" coil but had a question about pinpointing. I almost never use the pinpointing feature but instead use the wiggle method as I learned to do through this site. Does this still work well with the 17" assuming you don't have interference from...

    Old Dime Trifecta

    I don't post much but this was just a great hunt and I wanted to share. I've hunted this site quite a bit but I hadn't looked through an area with pretty obviously potential but I assumed it had been pretty well cleaned out. Out for an hour and a half hunt and I got these three babies with the...

    Barberlicious Couple Days

    Got these at an old public gathering spot over two hunts. Got the bottom 3 dimes yesterday and the Barber "trifecta" today. This is my 1st silver half and I still can't believe it. A one way signal that I only dug because I had pulled out the other dimes in the area already. Found out why it was...

    Dime Trio and a Bullet Question

    This is my 1st post in the 3030 forum as I just upgraded from the ET and have been loving the separation with the 3030. Hit a ballpark today and found a nice dime trio. Also pulled my first half ever although it's just clad. Found a few bullets and these are the 1st bullets of this type I have...

    Actually one more

    Couldn't resist the thawed ground this afternoon and hit the iron trash area in the park for an hour and a half. Only got four decent targets but they were pretty nice for the time spent. 1929 and 1942 Mercs and the Wheat. The snow is starting to fall as I write this and we could get up to a...

    No Really, This is My Last Hunt of the Year

    Grading is done and tomorrow the snow comes, so I headed out in the drizzle and cold. Had another nice day. But really, I can't imagine that I will be able to get out another day this year... Found 18 Wheats, 1917, 1917-S, 1918-D, 1924-D Mercs and 1947 Rosie. 1899 Indian has a pretty toasty...

    Freezing Reprieve

    It's been in the 40s the last three days in the afternoons so I was able to get out for a couple hours at the end of each day. Hit a nice area. 35 Wheats. 1917, 1928-S, 1940, 1941-S and 1943-D Mercs, 1905 Barber dime and 1898 Barber quarter. By far the nicest quarter I've found this year! Also...

    Last Couple Hunts - 1st Silver Washington

    Went to my silver park yesterday and she gave me Indians. The two crusty ones (1898 &1902) came with a 1911 V nickel and a nail. Then ran into the 1881 Indian a few paces later. This is by far the oldest coin I've found in this park so far. Today I went through some more of the iron patch here...

    1st SLQ

    Hunted a couple hours in the heavily hunted park in town. Haven't found much silver here but ran into an iron heavy area that apparantly hasn't been picked over with an etrac. These two squeaked out right next to nulling signals. My 1st SLQ not surprisingly has no date but I'm very excited to...

    One Nice Dig Today

    Got out today with the recent warming and tried my luck. Found six wheats and a Colorado 1/5th cent tax token. Got these four coins in the same hole. The 1924 Canadian nickel was nulling so it was a strange signal bouncing all over the place but sounded pretty good. 1916-S, 1917-D and 1923 for...

    A great day - a couple 1sts

    I have the week off (and a lot of grading that I'm ignoring) and decided to steal one more afternoon from winter. Went to the spot that keeps on giving as I learn my detector better and better... This would be my first Rosie (1957-D). Also got the pair of Mercs (1918-S and 1945-D) and the Barber...

    A couple worn silvers

    I've been out a bunch in the last two weeks to try to get in my hunting before the ground freezes. 22 wheats and 9 Indians and these two beautiful worn silvers. I couldn't believe the quarter was a seated. It wasn't very deep - 2". I could tell it was silver but didn't recognize the design with...

    Pushed Back Oldest Coin

    Got off work and hit the empy lot around the corner until the light failed. Found two Wheats from the 191xs and this Indian. Didn't think much of it until I got home and cleaned her off to discover it was an 1864. Nine years older than anything found to date. The town was first populated in the...

    Indian/Wheat Spill with a Nail

    Found this collection of seven pennies within a six inch area on an old curb strip. I think the only reason this hasn't been picked up before is the nail was right there with them. Again evidence of how amazing the etrac is. The two Wheats are 1911 and 1912 and of the Indians I can read, all are...

    First Permission Granted and a Barber Dime

    I saw an old farmhouse that was being torn down nearby and went and asked for permission to hunt. This was the 1st time I have asked for permission and he was very nice and gave me the go ahead. Turns out that he had already scraped the area and dragged a bunch of garbage across most of the...

    First Silver Ring

    Got out after work for a little bit and went to a park near the river that I know had a golf course and a ball field on it in the 1930s. Was very excited but turns out there was pretty much nothing in the ground - not even much trash. I think this must be another case where the periodic flooding...

    Quick Hunt and a Merc

    Got out for a quick hour hunt after work and got a nice surprise at the park that likes to give me silver...1927 Wheat and 1941 Merc. Makes for a nice end of the day before more work from home. HH

    Broke into the 19th Century

    Got a few hours in this weekend at a couple old parks. Seemed to be attracted to Indians instead of silver. Was very excited with my 1st V nickel and my 1st 19th century coin. Then after cleaning the Indians up I realized that I really broke in with a 1873 Indian. Also came across the tax token...

    Newly Joined

    I have been reading this forum recently and thought I would jump in. I have already learned alot thanks to all of you. I bought an etrac last fall but due to a new child, work and early frustration, I didn't get back to it until a few weeks ago. I had a not so great detector as a kid and always...
