Wow!!! Day 2 w/ the E-Trac: Barber Quarter (1902)!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kevin B.]

[/img]Well this is another first for me! I dug a Barber quarter up from about 6 to 7 inches. I uploaded Andy S. coin pattern and tweaked my settings to match Nebtrac's from his U tube video. Thanks Nebtrac, for posting the helpful info in the :First Hundred Hours video. I had dug a wheat cent about 20 feet before I hit this signal. There was not a clear and stable number readout for either target! I dug by sound! Repeatable sound! I almost passed by both of these old coins because I was waiting for a perfect 13-42 on the wheat cent and a perfect 13-39 but the numbers never did settle down. What about y'all? Do y'all dig my numbers or sound?
Anyway, this has been a great afternoon! When I pulled that quarter out of that clod, and looked at it, my heart started skipping! I felt the same feeling one feels when he kills a good buck! Y'all have a good weekend.

What an exciting day! You know what it is about this hobby, don't you? It's the HUNT! It is no different, like you said, from scouting and anylizing an area looking for sign and then having it all come together in the form of a nice Buck or Bull elk or a Barber quarter. Adreneline Rush! Very Cool.

The thrill of finding a Barber lasts days and your first Barber coins (dime, quarter and half) will always be the best of memories.
Congrats from a dirt hunter

That is one nice coin! There is a lot of detail in it. Well done.

You'll find the deeper they are and the more trash next to the good stuff the more the numbers vary. Always go by tone first. The more you work with the Etrac, the more recognizing the good tones will become second nature. I will say this though, in my opinion, there is no other detector that maintains good TID numbers at depth better than the Etrac.
