The results of my first hunt of about an hour (before the batteries died) using my new Etrac. First is all the loot and trash.

Next is a sterling silver ring with an indian motif on it.

Two wheat cents.

Finally a 76d cent and a 93d dime. Both have been in the ground for a while. Enjoy the photos, such as they are. Don't think you'll be able to read the STERLING on the ring.

AZcoins, the Etrac is simple as can be. I had to learn a little about operating it, but now it pretty much runs itself.

Thank you trapperart for the congratulations.

Nice silver ring. Love my E-trac. I downloaded Bills Trashy Parks program and have used it exclusively. Awesome silver machine. Congrats on a great purchase.

Nice ring. Why did your batteries die so quickly?
It has taken me awhile to learn it.<G> No matter where I go or what I'm doing with the Etrac, it seems to give me signals everywhere. Sometimes the signals are even good.

Yes, I am. But I don't have the recharger. I've placed a call to the dealer where I bought the Etrac, though. I have a very interesting spot in front of a hospital for searching soon ...

Thanks, Whadifind! The batteries last about 15 hours per charge. I just got another battery pack for a back-up, and another empty one for regular batteries to fit in, just in case.
