I've been doing ok with the Etrac, but tonight I had a weird signal that certainly wasn't screaming dig me.....Here's what I remember about the signal.
I'm out tonight looking in the neighbors yard and I get this weird signal about 5" down. Kind of scratchy, but repeatable. I dig the plug and pull our a Mercury dime. I've found a lot of clad, but not a ton of silver just yet. Is this typical? Does a silver dime scream more than a clad at the same depth? I plan on planting my own tomorrow to find out, but I believe buried coins over time tend to have a different signal than freshly planted coins...don't they? I didn't notice anything else in the hole with the coin.
Does the signal tend to decrease with depth on the Etrac? I just don't have enough experience with the silver signal. I just thought the silver signal would be different and scream dig me.
Any thoughts?
