Hey guys,
Still learning my Etrac. Trying to get out as often as possible. The last 3 hunts I've been on have yielded me 54 Pennies, 32 Nickels, 39 Dimes,
25 Quarters, 1 Dollar, 1 Indian, 2 Buffalos, 1 Silver Rosie, 1 Silver earring, 1 nice Silver ring and 1 nice mens Gold ring with diamonds....but I'm not finding many silver coins? Don't get me wrong...I love finding the clad and other jewelry, as it is getting me used to the sounds of the Etrac....but I've found Indians and silver previously with my other detector in the past at these spots..so perhaps the real answer is I've cherry picked the easy targets...but some of these areas are huge...so I keep going back and trying different areas.
I'm using the stock coil, coins pattern, Sensitivity-Auto +2, Multi, Conductive, Variability 28, Limits-29,both deep and fast are off, TD-high, Ground-Difficult, and most of my finds have been less than 5-6" I'd say. I can say I'm only digging repeatable signals. Do you guys see anything wrong with my set-up which would prevent me from finding more silver? I realize the coil has to be over silver for the Etrac to detect it...I just wonder if you guys think that there are targets I'm missing by only digging repeatable signals, or perhaps my set-up? I have dug many of the 1 ways, but have only come up with rusty nails/iron.
Will try to post pictures tomorrow.
