It's been a while since I have posted my finds with the Etrac. Here in Idaho a couple of days ago, the construction guys were digging up an old sewer line for maintenance by the river. My gut says "go check that out so I did.! To make a long story short, I first found a broken glass that dated Nov 30th 1858. I knew I was on to an old site. I came by after they were finished. I started finding really old bottles from the 1860s to the 1880s. I then broke out the Etrac and ended up finding a really rough shaped 1876 seated dime. Yes,!!!!! I came back the next day while the guys were working and proceeded to get the ok to scrounge for more stuff. See some of the photos. The Etrac pulled a solid sterling 12/47 belt buckle out of this pile. It was badly encrusted so I used CLR and it came out great! I cant find out just how? Or what it is used for? Any suggestions? Furthermore, I made this antique box in my metalsmithing class earlier this semester and stuffed it with some of the things I have found. The Indian Wars button was something I found in a pile of buttons for $3 at an antique store. Anyway, Pretty cool. I lost my father three days ago for christmas, the sad part is he doesn't even know I metal detect! Peace to all! See photos.
