Well today I arrived home to find my new etrac waiting for me :hello2: My other etrac is at minelab for warranty repair,and who knows :dontknow: when it will return,I have been using my backup SE lately,but not today,I also received my Rat headphones today,I tried them at home but have yet to use them in the field...

After getting everything ready,I headed back to the homesite I started on yesterday,I did scout a couple new sites I got permission for today on my way there,when I arrived I got in about ten minutes in the field,then the rain started :help:,so I sit in the truck for a bit,it seemed the rain could last a while so I headed back home for a peek at the radar,rain finally cleared out about an hour later so I headed back to the site,I dug four coins today,one of them is not pictured and it was a 1959 Memorial :icon_scratch:
The other three where all Indians,and one was a semi-key date,I also found an axe head :headbang: and An insulator of some sort,a thimble that says "BUY GEM CITY STOVES" and a button that says "RAILROAD KING"

The dates on the IH's where

1891
1899
and a 1874 semi key date 2007 Redbook $18 in G-4 :headbang:
The 74 IH does have some mineral attachments,but I do not plan on selling or anything,just gives it character :wink:

Have fun out there Folks

Outstanding, Soupie!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Too bad on that 59 mem cent. Missed it by thaaaaaat much! :evil5:

Three semi keys already this week, and that's using only one E-trac at a time. Wait till you get the other one back and are sporting one on each arm during the hunt! :o

It's gonna be fun just running around looking at the good finds when they are coming up!

Congrats on the new E-trac, too! :wink:

What we have here,
is a failure to detect like me.

Dig the mems and leave the goodies for others!

Your considerate friend,

I did dig one Mem LB,in honor of you :notworthy:

I shall try better next time,I guess it is because I do not know my machine very well and cannot distiguish between the mems and the older coins :tongue3:

I shall have you teach me the difference when you arrive.... :laughing7:
