Finally was able to get out for my first E-Trac Hunt!!!

Since I purchased my E-trac two months ago, I've been whining like a 5 year old about the frozen ground here in Nebraska. Well my whining is over...I was finally able to get out today for a quick hunt....even though it was my own backyard. The soil conditions were "chunky" as there is still plenty of frost to break through...so needless to say, not ideal, but fun nonetheless. Now my backyard was "hunted out" last year with my trusty MXT...so I was not expecting much. But mind you, I swing a E-trac now, and boy am I pleased. Every good target I found was "co-located with other trash." Unfortunately I didn't find anything groundbreaking...pardon the pun...but to realize first hand the "see through" ability of the E-trac on my first hunt....WOW...what a machine! I can't wait to get out again! Now on to my finds...

1991 quarter...who cares right? But laying above and slightly off to the side of it was a bent nail.
several memorial pennies...off to the gum ball machine, or the leave a penny/take a penny cup
and Five Wheats, all in the same hole! What a wheat harvest! Next to the wheats was a large iron elbow pipe.
The neatest find of all was a "Good Luck" token from Nebraska National Bank in North Platte, the penny in the middle fell out and I could not locate it, but who cares its a token!

The coins are tumbling now, maybe if the wheats are semi keys...I'lI post a pic!

What a Great Adventure!

I relate to the weather conditions since I live in WNY
But this Winter did not start until January 13, 2012 :clap:
Got out yesterday for an hour and it was GREAT but today there is SNOW

Can you imagine the Finds when you can get out to your Great Sites for MDing :detecting:

I am looking forward to the pictures
Do you routinely tumble your coins after every dig?

Congrats and HH
 
Thanks for the kind words...

No, I don't usually tumble my coins after every dig. However I started a MD find wheat album this past Christmas, so whenever I have a chance to add more wheat cents into my album, I give em a quick tumbling. On a side note, I still had several pennies that needed to be cleaned before releasing them back into circulation...so I was able to kill two birds with one stone...lol.

I'm ready for Spring...there are a few hotspots just waiting for my coil!

Cheers!
 
The E-Trac is my first(and only) MD. I had no idea that other detectors would miss so much when there's some junk nearby until I went out with a friend . He was getting squat, so I went over the same ground he did. We were surprised at how much coinage he missed! Good finds!
 
I planted them coins when you were on your honeymoon. You still have 2 Buffs, a barber, 3 Mercs, a Walker and 4 Morgans to find, and that's just in that little 15x20 spot you just hunted in......:razz:


Congratulations on getting out and also the finds man! I'm looking forward to gettting to hunt with you this year.

NebTrac
 
Thats fine Nebtrac...cause I spread a box of BB's across your coin garden the last time I visited...

No doubt...can't wait to get out and do some real detecting!

What NebTrac doesn't know is that his best "find" was planted by me at his favorite hunting spot....thats right Neb, I planted that 1878 Morgan dollar!

I was in the wildland fire service for a couple years...still do a bit of training however, but my active days are over!

...I can't let that go...he found that silver dollar!
