My friend Tony got a new to him used e-Trac and we hit the woods today to break in in proper. I felt naked without my utility belt. I was missing my pin pointer, finds pouch, small shovels, magnifier, and my cleaning brushes. I had to do the old scoop dirt in the hand and run over coil procedure to find my targets...uuugghh. I managed to find a 1895 Barber Dime, 1886 Indian Head, and 1917 and 1941 wheat cents. Tony also found 1 Indian Head in the 1800s, so not a bad first real hunt for him.
