Amazing E Trac

[herbajones]

I went out for a short time today as the soil is still pretty muddy around here. This e trac today amazed the hell out of me, I was running in the basic coin mode and got a clean high pitch tone with an 11-45 reading and a depth of over 10 " Well I started into the muddy soil and not until the hole was 9" deep did I get a beep from my pro pointer. I was pulling out real tight wads of thick soil that was sticking to my digger and my pointer. One last 2" dig and I scraped off the glob of muddy soil off my digger. No more beeps in the hole so it must be in the pile of goop I had removed from the hole. Finally I found a wad the size of a tennis ball and got a beep. Pulling it apart a little at a time I finally got to the last the last little piece of mud (looked like a brown marble) With that little glob in my hand I still got a beep...and by this time I could see the silver ridges of a coin. With the mud completely gone I could see it was a silver 1906 barber dime. It was amazing how deep this little coin was and encrusted in all that muddy soil and to get such a clean audible signal. To be honest I almost gave up with all the mud. I don't think any other brand detector would have signaled that dime so deep.
I will get a new camera.as this one is real bad quality.
