Hello Tnet friends!
Today Ron and I took off of work to head up north to do some detecting!
We both had a great day!! Ron talked me into leaving my XLT in the car
and try out his new MineLab E-Trac, while he used his Explorer SE. I
used that thing ALL DAY!!! WOW ~ what a great machine! It took a
little getting use to ~ but I sure like the way it works! Ron has let
me use his SE in the past and I like it too, but it's hard to use when
you're so use to a different detector.
Here's what I dug on my first outing with the E-Trac:
1905-S Barber Half dollar
1936-S Mercury Dime
1923-S Buffalo Nickel
1940-S Jefferson 5c
8 Wheats ~ 18-S, 21-S, 29-S, 29-S, 30-S, 44-S, 45, & 57-D
6 clad 25c's
11 clad 10c's
1 modern nickel
48 memorial cents
1936 Junior Texas Ranger toy badge
Also, I dug a pocket knife that I'm pretty sure has real silver side
pieces ~ it's marked "830 BH". I assume that means it's 83% silver,
right? Anyone know what BH means? The poor thing fell all apart when I
recovered it ~ the middle part rusted all away leaving just the silver
side pieces.
So now I need to get me a E-Trac!! Too bad I'm broke and can't afford
one. Lucky for me that my buddy Ron will let me use his SE or E-Trac
when ever we go out together. I still love my XLT ~ it's found me lots
of treasures over the years ~ but Ron's E-Trac and me sure had a lot of
fun together today!
The Merc dime is my silver coin find #101 for the year. And the Barber Half is #102!!
Thanks for looking!
