I got myself a new E-Trac the other day, so I spent the last few days reading up on it. I talked to one of the land owners in town and he gave me permission to hunt his lot where there use to be a bar at in the late 1800s and the early 1900s here in town I went down to his lot this morning. After about 2 hours of hunting I came up with 23 Clad Penney's, 1 Quarter, 2 Nickels, 2 Dimes, 1 Trade token that Say's Breslin Hotel / Carlin / Nevada on one side of it and Good for 5 cents in trade on the other side of it. I found a 1903 Liberty Head Nickel, and a 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. The 1903 Nickel is pretty dirty hopefully it will clean up.
Once I learn this machine I hope that I can find a lot more of these kinds of treasures.

Thanks Bill

So far I love the E-Trac, I have about 3 hours on it but I have found about $6.00 in clad coins, and in my yard that my kids and myself have pretty much hunted out with my X-Terra 70, or so I thought we have found a few more targets and some change that I could not find with my other detector. Old coins on the first trip out helps a lot also. :icon_thumright:

Thanks Bill
