Getting used to the Eurotek Pro

[wayne_etc]

Hit a favorite spot that I've pounded over the last year with some friends. Early/mid 1800s homesite. Generally I try to dig any iffy conductive target, and they're few and far between. Did the same with the Eurotek Pro and 11" DD coil and got some goodies.
I was able to pull a few goodies, including a pocketknife, silver"ish" thing, a few headstamps, and a spoon. This one is monogrammed with "HED" or "MED" and marked "J Watson" on the back along with a fish symbol and "coin". Apparently J Watson made silverware in the early 1800s. Before "sterling" and ".925" markings, makers who melted down coins for their goods marked them with "coin".
Really enjoying the ETP. I pulled a lot of junk, but that's what you get when you dig the iffies. But you also get good stuff!

Thats pretty cool, Wayne.

I did not know that about the 'coin' marking. Good info.

Nice work with the ETP, I got roughly 400 hrs on mine and I'm very comfortable with it, digging a lot really helps you learn the machine, continued success! Hank

Question for you hank and others. How is the bottle caps and not digging them? Are you having any luck with this, or is digging old screw caps just part of it with the ETPro?
