Made it out for one last hunt in 2011. Met Ray bright and early for an all day hunt in the cold. After reaching my goal of 100 silver on my last trip, I went into this day with no goals and expectations. Just wanted to enjoy the hunt and be glad for any extra I could add to my totals. We braved to cold and heavy snow at times, fingers that felt frozen and for what?.......16 more silver coins!!!!! It was an unbelievable day. My previous best one day silver count was 13 and I crushed it! It was by far the most productive 8 hours of detecting I have ever had.
As usual we were at a couple different public spots and not new ones by any means. We have both hunted these spots before but I think it was the combination of the moist ground and our new "secret weapon" that made the day so productive as many of the silver were coming from extremely deep depths. Even as impressive as my day was, I would have traded it for the day Ray had. We both had the kind of day we usually only dream about.
This was my second full season with the E-trac and thanks to more time with it and Ray's help, I feel like I have become much more proficient with it (nearly tripling last years silver totals) and can't wait to see what my third year with it is going to be.

Congratulations on a very memorable hunt I'm sure.
