Detector(s) used
MineLab E-Trac and White's Classic 4
Today I finally found a few keepers with the etrac and am slowly but surely getting comfortable with it. I still don't like the large amount of "false" signals and I am digging a lot of trash.....but......also finding coin amongst the trash so I'll consider it a small success. The wheat made me a believer....it was under 3 nails and two pieces of foil, but rang true around 6-7inches deep. The buffalo was just over 8 inches deep and was under nails as well, but rang true. I'll beat this thing yet....but my digging arm sure might be tired by the time I do :D
1935 buffalo
1946 wheat
clad = one penny, one dime and one nickel.
All this came from the spot that I had "hunted out" with my old White's detector.
The rock had my heart beating cause on initial sighting, it appeared to be an arrowhead, but after further inspection, I believe it is just a rock :(
also, not sure what the gold thing is, anyone have any idea?

Cool Congrats !

Gold Handle Looks like a Fancy
Screwdriver Handle But Being Threaded ???

Maybe Car shifter ? :tongue3:
 

Me thinks it is a razor handle ;D Also, that one item in the second photo at the end of the handle looks like part of an arrow head?

Nice finds! agreed on razor handle.
your etrac will be talking to you soon.
I dig every signal, (except solid iron, if I'm not iron hunting)
hits that sound like pulltabs/foil can be karat gold, thin silver, or pewter buttons, none of which I want to miss.
I like hearing those low tones :thumbsup:
Keep em comin'
 

yes Razor Handle :thumbsup:

& Agree Clean this up

thanks for the quick ID guys!!! Can you imagine how fast my heart started beating when I saw the "rim" and the color gold :D Then when I went to grab the "coin" the rest of it appeared...talk about a let down!!
The item that looks like an arrow point is actually a folded over piece of metal. I cleaned it up...just junk.
 

Oh what a difference a day makes!!! Congrats on the finds Buddy!!

I was going to say the handle thing looks like it is a magnifying glass handle.......NGE
 

looks like your getting in tune with your machine.. it wont be long now... good job
 

First Nice Going on your finds. I've tryed all the major manufacturers top of the line detectors. We've tested them for depth, ability to pick up small target like little flat buttons. The E-Trac just plain Rocks :headbang: Unless you're hunting a really trashy area put that thing in Quick Mask, adjust the amount of iron you want to knock out and leave it there. Two Tone Ferrous is a real good way to hunt that really helps you hear the difference between iron and non-ferrous targets. If your hunting farm fields for "response" try both "smooth" and "pitch and hold" They are great when there is some distance between targets. Last year DeArmitt and I pulled about 15 largies from a really bad iron patch. If you don't have one get an 8 inch coil for on it. We use it about half the time. Great Depth and Target Separation. Looking forward to seeing more good finds.

WOW, thanks for the ID guys....I love this site :headbang:
 

Nice stuff! Anyone up for ktown tomorrow? If it's decent I'm shootin for 11.
 

That E trac looks like its warming up to you now! WTG :D
 

Charlene...time will tell, i'm not near as frustrated as I was last week, let's hope tomorrow heats things up ;D

Jeff, just too far right now at $3.50/gallon and 13miles to a gallon! Maybe once summer hits and a few of us can carpool, but for now it would cost me $45 just to get there and back :'(
