Nice afternoon hunt

[DukeOBass]

I got out for a few hours this afternoon. The weather is just gorgeous! I have found more silver than I ever have since getting my E-trac last fall.

Here are the pictures:

The site I hunted was tough. A lot of nulling going on. I went very slowing. Both targets gave a nice silver sound in one direction and very iffy in the other. I went back and forth from straight on to 90 degrees and decided to dig after what seemed like a few minutes of indecision. Once the iron was out the hole the real "good" targets screamed. I am very happy. The last 6 hunts produced silver everytime. It's just too bad the lousy weather is coming. I'm HOT with this E-trac now!

thanks!

I run in an edited E-trac coin pattern with the only change being their top line unmasked.

Variability at 29 and Threshold at 29
Auto Sensitivity at +3
Fast On / Deep Off
High Trash / Difficult Soil
Volume set so that I barely hear the background hum of the machine
Conductive Sound

If there is a lot of trash, I'll switch back and forth from that into a Two Tone Ferrous mode I set up in the E-trac Relic mode.

 

[jmaryt]

understood! thanks! do you feel that these settings have been "better" than the factory coins program for you?

(h.h.!)

[DukeOBass]

I'm considering blank the 50 line on the conductive axis to decrease falsing but, other than that, yes.

 

[jmaryt]

sounds like a plan! good luck!
