Hi everyone like I stated yesterday I don't post much anymore. But I'm out daily finding stuff still. Thought you'd all appreciate looking at some of these finds. All of this has been recovered over the past month learning the etrac.

Would have liked to bought the CTX but it was just a little out of my budget right now. I traded in my v3 witch is also a great unit. Areas that I pounded with the v3i the etrac would not see one old coin. But in bad soils the etrac does excel over the whites.

All of these finds have come from heavily worked sites. The dirty finds on the paper towel are the past 3 days worth of finds that I haven't cleaned up yet. Including a ww2 sterling marksman badge plus a solid sterling pocket watch back etc.

The u.s belt plate came from a heavily hunted foundation site. I knicked the edge of it to. I sent it to Roland frodigh and he did great job in repairing it. He suggested I don't clean the plate due to the soil it was found in.

Sorry about the crummy phone pics. Hope you all enjoy looking at these finds

HH Jer

Thanks a lot guys

Yeah just about every IH here is toast to. I tumble mine with dawn dish soap. Then I hit them with a cloth and some metal polish and they come out pretty nice. Unless I see 1870s or 1860s dates they get cleaned that way.

I just over nighted your plate Keith lol I'm a man of my word. Thanks again for everything its was a nice experience doing business with you. I'm very happy with the etrac and accessories it came with. It was a good decision for me. As you can see I'm recovering items left behind from previously worked sites. And that's what I was hoping for.

Thanks sounds good man. I hunt just about every day before I go to work. I mainly hunt solo but it is nice to have someone to share your finds with. I run into guys all the time hunting in the city. I would be up for trying to gain permission on some sites as well. Let me know maybe we'll hook up. I love looking for old foundations this time of yr.
