E-trac sniffed out BIG Silver

[john37115]

Had about an hour to hunt today. I decided to hit the old fairgrounds again in a spot where I have dug a few Barbers dimes and quarters. That being said I have hit this 40' x 50' (approx.) area at least 100 times with Explorer and Sov in all metal no discrimination and have dug nothing but deep nails there for about the last six months. I thought I would give the E-trac a chance (not expecting much). The E-trac right off got a deep repeatable signal but the signal was real jumpy and wouldn't lock on. I decided to dig through the backbreaking gravel that is about 10" deep there. At 11" I seen silver and could not believe it was a half dollar that I had walked over so many times.

Very good looking silver.

Sometime digging 10" - 12" is absolutely worth it!

Nice find.

This gravel is so packed I sprained my wrist last year digging through it. Tough digging to say the least.

Sweet find!
Looks like you got it out of the ground without a scratch!
Hard gravel is tough to dig through without nicking a coin.
I guess the whining worked!!! lol!
I've got to go start whining about some Capped-bust coins now!
You're proof that it works!
Congrats!
