a merc in a pocket spill a foot from each other!!The sad part I can't pin point with E-trac at all and the pics don't lie !!Also got a buffalo nickle with a readable date 1937 and the 2nd spot produced the 2 dimes and a 1925 wheatie and the 3rd spot nothing.Recovery with 5x8 coil on the AT Pro was easy and now I'm lost to locate on the stock coil on the Etrac when I thought I had it sight :icon_scratch: Here's some pics from today and HH:skullflag:

OK...make sure your sounds is on "normal" and not "sizing". Also why do you put small coins in large holders LOL

Just wait till you go up a coil size.... Anyway, you'll get it straightened out, if not, we'll straighten you out at Bomber's group hunt. Congrats on another first. 2012 is sizing up to be a good year for you find-wise.

Looks like a recent ding on that merc Rob!?!? But it still looks like it's one awesome good looker in great shape.

Way to go! Killer dig!

The E-Trac is easy to pinpoint a target if you are on Auto sensitivity. Just hit the button and watch the screen and listen to the sound. The item will be under the center of the coil when the screen is full center. It is much more difficult if you are deep and using Manual sensitivity. Try switching back to Auto to pinpoint unless the item is to deep and it won't read it. You will have it all down in a couple of weeks. Congrats on your finds!
