- Detector(s) used
- (2)Minelab E-Tracs, 12x10 SEF's, Sunray X-1 Probes, & an arsonal of coils. Excal 2, Tesoro Golden Sabre+
FINALLY have some decent finds to post!!!!!
So i got an e-trac a few weeks back. Decided to take it to this old ball field and school that was used during the 40's, 50's although the school is still in use today as a kindergarden. the ball field is long time out of commission but the school was a middle school back in the day.. These are my finds for 4 days of afternoon detecting.. Guess i should bring a camera..
So out by the old ball field using the stock coin pattern, auto+3, deep on, trash high, ground difficult. i began around the backstop of the place where i could see a foundation. and was told later that it was the concession stand by the cop passing by wondering why there was car sitting in the middle of the field. anyways. got a deep signal but it was strong. dug down. popped out the 41 quarter. guessing it was around 7-8 inches.
Continued to hunt around that area and found a 41 nickel.. i was thinkin wow. that's weird.. but wait. gets weirder.. 30 more Min's of slow and low searching didn't come up with much else there. so headed up to the school.. started searching around the front area. Didn't find much for the rest of the day but some clad a few wheat's..
Second time around i ended up getting a 41 merc. and later that day a 41 wheat.. weird times.. in my 20 years of detecting i have never found a 1,5,10 and 25 cent coins that all had the same date from the same location.. crazy indeed
so just about to call it a day when i get a faint but deep signal.. dug down 4 inches. nothing. Sunray probe says nothing in the hole. check. still there but louder now.. started thinking.. good deal.. dig down some more. checked with probe. faint choppy signal. still in the hole though.. dug another big scoop full. finally pulled it out.. turns out to be a child's silver ring. old too. at least 7 inches.. that was the second silver ring i found there.. and on the way to the car since it was almost dark. got a good hit.. and it was 2 Rosie's in one hole!! like when that happens..
so after the next 2 days there ended up with
2 silver rings. Semi Cleaned
6 silver dimes. Cleaned
2 silver quarters. Cleaned
11 wheat's.
aluminum smiley face
pocketfull of clad change..
Man what a machine.. I know i know. not the machine its the location. but my dad and i have hit this location quite a few times over the years but either way you look at it.. turned out to be a prime location all over again..

Don't discount your E-trac, the only time I've seen it in action, I was impressed. I took a guy to a park that I had pulled numerous silvers out of, but never more than 5 in a day. He brought an E-trac and absolutely kicked my butt, going over the same spots that I was convinced I had 'cleaned out'. He found 7 silvers and 11 wheats in a pretty small area. We compared signals with my F75 and I learned that I needed to slow down a bit with my machine to get the "iffy" signals.
