at the first of the season I set some goals for myself and tonite I finally met my last goal. My goals for the year were:
1. 75 indians, hit that early so bumped it to 100, just hit that saturday
2. 100 silvers, tonite dug #100 and 101
3. find ANY seated coin. dug a seated dime AND a seated quarter this season
4. Find at least one large cent, I dug 2 this season, 1849 and a no dater
5. Find gold, ANY gold.....got a 1939 gold class ring about a month ago
I went to a site tonite I thought was hunted out, it is a field site and I have pounded it to death with my xterra 70 over last 2 seasons, BUT I have never been back since getting my etrac and my wife told me if you go there you will get silver. I laughed and said I doubt it....lol. This site had a church on it from 1870-1960. I have dug a lot of mercs, rosies, wheats, buffalo, some V nickels and handful of indians. And I thought it was cleared out as I have gridded it pretty hard. I went back tonite not expecting much.
I put the etrac into two tone ferrous and slowly crept thru the iron, well guess what it wasn't hunted out. First got the rosie for silver #100, then 2 minutes later I got the merc. Taking me to 101 silver for the season. I said sure would be nice to get another indian here and swinging to the car I got a toated indian, but it counts!
The reverse is nice and the obverse is GONE...I also got what I think is a gold plated cufflink, the post is broke off.
It has been a wonderful season. I absolutely love the etrac it has pulled a lot of goodies from sites I have already hunted hard.
