My new Etrac is treating me well. Picked it up yesterday afternoon and found my first Indian Head right before dark. Today I went to a park I've hunted quite a bit and found my first Mercury dime a 1917. Loving it so far

Very nice! Depending how much you want to shine it up, a little baking soda and water and rubbing between your fingers will do wonders.

Sounds like you're getting the E-trac dialed in. Congrats on the IH and Merc.

Nice finds!! I haven't found a single old coin yet:(

Maiden 2112, Don't give up hope. Learn your machine well in your own yard, practice with some clad coins. Then go to parks, schools, beaches and hit the common areas and tot lots. Coins are out there! Sub 8-)

=======================================
Same here pretty much,,
well I DID find some modern pennies and nickels though.
Still waiting for that "special" moment. I know it's coming,,, the suspense is killing me though,,, LMAO

But on another note I have drastically reduced the amount of junk and nails in my yard. HAHAHAHAHA

Congrats! One thing you will be learning quickly if you haven't already is that as soon as you knock off a few firsts is that they replenish quickly with new firsts. This is definitely a self-feeding disease...err... hobby we have!

Happy Hunting!
