2nd time out with the E-TRAC nets 26 coins in 1 1/2 hours at the 60's resort site :)

I just went up the street to a 60's resort that's now being bull-dozed where I found clad quarter after clad quarter before with the EX II. I hunted the front part that was untouched old mowed turf. I had been over this area before with a CZ-70 some and mostly an EX II. Dry ground conditions but somewhat soft with black dirt. There's alot of iron, pulltabs, and trash since this was a pool area. I first started in all-metal and ferrous then said screw it, I'll just try the second discrim coins program in the machine with conductive sounds. Sounded like the good old Explorer but super fast-would null in the iron but reset quickly. Dug 12 clad dimes, 10 copper pennies with one a 1957-D wheat, 1 chewed up zinker, and two clads quarters but NO TRASH-not one piece! You see in the pic what was in my pocket when I left. The dimes read 11or12/43, the copper pennies mainly 11or12/43or44, the quarters 11or12/46. At times I was digging three coins in one hole-2 dimes and a pennie more than once. I found a 1990 Canadian dime that read I think 6-37 and the other dime with it 11-43 but sound a little weird but I still dug it. I did get real short mid and high tone blips for targets that were discriminated out but no iron falsing that would make me dig. I could hear that there were multiple coins in the hole with the 11" Pro coil. There were no empty holes-always a coin in it. Most were 3-7 inches deep with a solid lock as long as the target was well centered. So all in all, not a bad 1 1/2 hours-the E-TRAC is starting to pay for itself. That blister on my left hand from all that digging feels good :lol:
 
I have found a few silver Roosies and other wheats there but nothing old as expected. I will say that it hits on coins really hard unlike an Explorer in my opinion. I could hold the coil 6 inches off the ground and still hear the coin and after I dug a 5 inch deep plug and still in the hole-clear as a bell. The depth guage was right on too as was pinpointing. I'm not sure if I can go back to an Explorer now with all these E-trac positive attributes. I have a perfect new condition SE Pro with 2 year warranty that I just received from a dealer that someone may get for a great deal soon...it's such a nice machine that I'm having my reservations selling it but after the E-Trac purchase my Discover bill with the two on it-it may put my wife in overload :laugh:
 

Hopefully she doesn't get the E-Trac in the settlement, (Cheaper to Keep'r) :cheekkiss:
