So today I met up with my buddy at an old pounded park. I was kind of late with a hangover ;) When I got there my buddy had 3 silvers already so I started swinging and my first
target was a 1943 merc. Dug 3 more targets (low tones) which were junk and came across a bouncy 11-27. After a couple of seconds it locked on to 12-30 with the cursor in the middle of the screen. So that got me curious as I dug some gold before on the same cursor position. Dug a 6 inch plug and bam at the bottom of the plug was Gold! Called my buddy over as I was jumping up & down he confirmed my find and got some water to wash off the dirt. After a rinse a beautiful 1906 D 5$ gold emerged. Also found a 1904 V nickel and 5 wheaties, my buddy found 2 war nickels, 2 mercs, barber dime and over 20 wheaties. What a day, I'm so happy :)

Thanks for looking & HH!

Awww.... You didn't find that! All the competitor companies swear an E-Trac won't find gold - NOT!!!

Thank you for defending the MineLab reputation :)

Thanks Deepseeker, I do find gold with the etrac occasionally but the Excalibur II is my weapon of choice that snagged up 7 oz of gold this year :))

Good job and also 1month ago my buddy joe found an 1852 $1.00 gold coin and he was so psyched about it. You can check his channel out on YouTube and you'll find his video of the gold and please subscribe to him because he would love it! His name is surfman1968. Thanks, BK

Thanks TBK
