Hello Fellow Etrac users......Yesterday my friend and I were detecting together at a house built in 1941 with my Etrac with the standard 11 inch coil and his CTX3030 with the 17 x 13 large coil. At one point in the hunt process, I came upon a detected spot in the middle of the yard, a 25-30, 35-30 predominant signal, but on one corner a 12-46/47 signal would appear for a brief moment....similar to one slice of a 12 slice orange. But the number did come in as I circled the target several times around the spot. My friend checked it with his CTX but gave no indication on his VDI numbers that there was any thing there (all VDI numbers were iron with the possible exception of a quick skip) except for a brief high tone he heard. The question is to dig or not to dig? I made one more sweep around with my Etrac with 25-30, 35-30 iron infested numbers and came to that brief slice 12-46/47 signal about 10 inches deep on a very small corner of the detected spot. I thought "I think we should dig" although it was at THE OUTER LIMITS of my optimism. My friend grabbed his shovel and personally did the digging for me, and came upon a mercury dime at least 8 inches deep. His response was "I can't believe it!!!"..... I was stunned myself, but renewed in my Etrac with a new experience that spoke to me for the first time. It brought to mind other spots in the past I chose not to dig but gave me a new hope for the future.
