It was a 2 in 1 hole day

[Mark in S.E. IA]

Yesterday late in the day I was at a older school and I started in the worst area but yet the best area. I think the area I started at was covered with pea gravel many years ago and the Etrac chattered real bad so I was chaseing false signals a lot.

I used what I learned from Deep Down "Dave" last weekend and if it wasn't for that I would of passed on at least half of the coins I found. One of the merc's I found, the tones were really bad, the FE numbers were all over the place but the CO numbers stayed in the good zone so I dug it. The other Merc was text book numbers and tones. I found the Rosie and the Religous medal in the same hole, I found the 2 IH's in the same hole and they was a good 8" deep and I got 2 wheat's in the same hole.

The last hour or so that I was there I checked out other areas where the Etrac did not chatter so bad and I didn't find anything good so the Etrac did good in a very tough area where others could not find coins.

Thanks for lookin

Mark, Nice looking group there!! Good to see and I can almost here the tone in your post that your confidence is coming around. Like we talked about once it all comes together every place you have ever hunted before is almost brand new again. Good Luck and HH Dave
