Had a couple hours to kill this morning so hit another "worked out park". First coin was a 1920 wheat, then a no date Buff nick, then a nice 1890 Full Liberty dime, then a 1907 V nick, then a coupe Indians. Throw in a old pin and twenty cents in clad and I think it was a good couple hour hunt. I go slowwwwwwww and only worked an area about 75'x75' so got a whole lot left to do. What a morning except the skeeters were terrible.

Way to go on some great finds! Any time you can dig a seated coin is an awesome hunt!

Very nice for a short hunt that would make my day
I think I usually do about a five second sweep and double check every thing that has the remote possibility of being good. I usually grid an area off then hit it at least two directions. If I've found older coins I will then hit it diagonal also. It drives the people I hunt with nuts but I usually get the good stuff and I feel it's getting harder to find the good stuff every year. Thirty years ago we used to find lots of silver but anymore if you get four to six coins a day that are good coins I'm happy. The E Trac is such a great machine but you just have to let it do its thing. Have fun hunting and keep cool.
Terry,
Thanks. Sounds like I need to slow down a bit more. The E-Trac is incredible. I was at a hunted-out older park last Saturday and found two Mecury dimes and a wheat cent in a fairly small area. None of the coins gave a good two-way signal, but were hitting 12-45 one-way. They were only 2-3 inches deep. I'd been to this park a couple of times before and only found a couple of wheat cents, but if figure that if there are wheat cents there then there are dimes also. I tend to use wheat cents as an indicator of what other types of coins might be in the area. Thanks again for your response.
