Well my father-in-law and I got out for only the second time this year. We went to one of our usual haunts as Mach 1 Pilot was working this weekend. We have pounded this area with all sorts of machines, but not the E-tracs. There is so much iron and trash in this area that it is unreal. But the E-tracs pull out a couple of keepers like always, and with the 11 inch coil on too. The signal for the nickel was real trashy, being surrounded by iron. Once I got the hole opened the signal was much nicer, read between 12-14 and 13-14. I am pretty happy it came out so good. I also got a 1946 Dog Tag, part of a pewter spoon and a whatsit? My father-in-law got 2 flat buttons, one with an interesting design on the front of it. It was great to get out today. HAPPY HUNTING :icon_thumright:
