OK..... I just drooled all over my laptop! Darn it! Nice, nice work last year. I have just gotten back into MDing from 20 years ago (as of this Christmas!). Where are doing most of your hunting? and how do you do most of your research? Thanks, River

Congrats on getting back into MDing! I hunt many different sites equally such as parks, churches, private property, and sidewalks... As far as research stuff like old maps, local history books, and talking to people.

Indeed a big pile of silver is a wonderful sight, much less boring than plastic coin tubes =)

Congratulations on a fantastic year you had! I really enjoy your full dig video,s and you taking the time explaining and showing the No.s on your etrac (a great learning tool). Although I,ve found about a fourth of what you have since I got my etrac a year ago Dec. I truly enjoy hunting with it and I think it cant be beat!
Again thanks for the video,s and picks! Happy Hunting this New Year!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! The e-trac is truly an amazing machine. There's always the debate as to the "best" machine out there and I can't imagine anything else doing better...

Very impressive!!! Any idea how many hours of detecting that represents??

Thanks! I have a MS Access database and log all my finds, estimated hours, and hunt locations... My total hours hunting was about 450-500 hours for the year. That averages out to be about 8-12 hours per week every week. I would usually go out about 3 times a week and hunt 3-4 hours per hunt. A few more statistics:

Number of days where I got 3 or more silver pieces in a day (this includes silver jewelry): 38
Number of days where I got 5 or more silvers: 16
