First Seated, first Barber and first day with a new ETrac.

[Skinny Puppy]

Met up Saturday morning with Lookn4seated, Etrac007 and D-Dub at a Chicago park. It was the first time out with the new Etrac machine. It didn't take too long to get used to it. The ferrous and conductive numbers are the hardest things to get used to. The machine seems more stable and sensitive than my SE. Gave up after a while digging signals shallower than 8". Started concentrating on the 3/4-full depth signals. That's when I found the 1891 Seated dime and then soon after a 1894 0 Barber dime, both about 10-12 inches down with iffy signals.

Also found a bunch of Wheaties and the usual clad.

First time for Barber and Seated dimes ever.....

Nice to find some oldies since I've only been out 12 times this year. Next year will be different that's for sure.
Not the best pics, they're off my phone.

Congrats to Etrac007 on that nice 1856 Seated Half and thanks for the great company guys.

Hey Pup,

Awesome coins! For only getting out twelve times this year, you sure made up for it by the quality of your finds. Way to go with the new Etrac. Hopefully we can get out together again sometime soon.
