Decided to get out bright and early considering I have work at 3pm today, so all I wanted to do was go to a target rich place, so I hit a local park, this place is 52 acres and has been pounded in all the old sections for years, I figured what better place to learn a little with the etrac, I ended up with about 20 clad coins and 2 wheats from there, a 1917 greenie, and a recent drop 1958

stayed there about 2 hrs and hit my park where I get the wheats and occasional silvers, this was a better place, I was digging wheats at about 5-6" in areas that I hit with the atpro, most of them had grunts for tones also cause junk was in the holes with them, I also managed to get my first silver for the year and with the etrac, a 1943p war nickel, sorry dave lol!!!!

Looks like your out there having a great time learning the E trac's language. Nice finds!
So now do you carry a shovel instead of a digger?
Thanks!! Its a lot of fun!! I have both, my lesche digger and now I have a Sampson t handle shovel. Hope you get thawed out up there soon!!

Congrats on the Etrac's first silver! I am certain that it will not be long before we start to see some sweet finds! GL&HH.
Thanks tom, I hope youre right!

Nice finds Kris, it won't be long Dave, your War Nickle will come, just like my seated, it will come.
Thanks Brad, I just have dumb luck with them war nickels and like to rub it in Daves face lol!!

LOL , Kirby Park, but i thought that place was hunted out... I usually hit that after a day of finding nothing just to feel good about myself again.

Never hunted out, patience and persistence got me those wheats, I had to slooooow the swing speed way down
