Getting close to 75 hours with this Etrac, and scored my third silver:hello2: 1943 Merc, barely under the leaf litter on the side of Park Trail that isnt used much. That makes two coins and a ring............................not missing my AT Pro so much, any more:laughing7: View attachment 1158540 102_8491.JPG

Thanks beepbeep; Not sure about good, but getting more confident each time out! Well under 100 hours and the learning curve is shrinking fast!!

Congrats on the silver. Are you going back over sites that you pounded with the AT Pro?

Yes I am, Loco I am hunting a 300+ aceres county Park that has several old home sites within it (1897). Have taken a couple hundred dollars in clad over the last couple years, and a few Indians. Large multi use park/fairgrounds, not finding so much clad any more, but concentrating on the older stuff.......................so much area to hunt!! I am sure I put 300-400 hours on this site with my AT Pro
