I purchased an E-trac a few months back and took it for it's first real hunt over the weekend. I had done some work with it in my coin garden, but this was it's first time outside the yard.

In about 3 hours of hunting a well picked park I dug 10 Wheaties (The oldest a 1919, but most in the 40's-50's), 3 Mercury dimes (One 1917 and two 1942's), one silver ring and two brass/plated rings. Oh, and a few bucks in clad :thumbsup:. I was running the 10x12 SEF and the standard Minelab coin program in auto. I can't wait to see what I've been missing at some of my regular hunt sites!

That machine is picking up what others missed. Great job, good to know you can go back over sites and still find silver.

Congrats on some great finds. I just got the 10x12 SEF coil myself. I hear it is a deep coil.

Nice finds!

I just got an Etrac 10 days ago, but due to cold weather have not been able to use it yet. Driving me crazy. Like you found, I have spots that I absolutely know have silver left after years of people detecting them. I can't wait to get out.
