Got skunked on silver today but did manage 6 wheat's 1913,1918,1928,1929,1941, and ????. Went out to Bixby Park in Long Beach this morning. I detected about 3 1/2 hours and I was just cherry picking for deep hits. Lots of iron and trash. The last two times here with my SE I didn't even find a wheat. In the past I've dug 1 barber dime, 1 Indian Head, lots of wheat's, and silver dimes. Most of the oldies here are at 7+ inches deep. If that 1913 wheat had been silver I would have had another Barber 
Four of the wheat's were deep. I would say close to 8 or 9 inches. The probe was about all the way into the hole and I was getting the reading at the bottom of the hole. I think the probe is about nine or ten inches long but I'm not sure I'll have to measure it.
The depth gauge on four of the wheat's was reading close to the bottom. Real crappy high tones. The readings on all four deep ones were weird and bounced around at 1/30, 1/38, 1/39, 1/40.
I'm still in auto sensitivity and today I used the +2 range. Most of the time I was at a sensitivity of 22. For being in auto sensitivity I feel I'm getting real good depth and the E-trac is smooth as silk. Still in coin mode, using pro coil, Fast on, Deep off, Ground at Difficult, Conductive Tones, Gain at 24, Response normal, and Trash Density High. Keeping it low and slow.
I have about 27 hours on the E-trac now.
