First hunt with the etrac....yes I am IMPRESSED

[Goes4ever]

got my etrac yesterday.......

and well today went to the yard I had all the interference with last week with my minelab x-70.

Took the etrac up front, hit noise cancel, and it ran smooth as a top, no interference at all. I had sensitivity in auto and it was 23, and I had +1, so it was running at 24. First signal I get is a deep dime signal. I cut the plug, open it up, out comes a nail, I scratch my head thinking hmmm, it was definitely a dime signal, ran out hole again. Dime signal still strong, pinpointer goes into the hole, out comes a second nail. I am getting frustrated. Run coil over the hole, dime signal is still there! Take a bit more dirt out and I see a silver rim in the bottom of the hole. Pull it out and it is a barber dime! 1902........I was literally AMAZED the etrac saw this dime underneath 2 nails. I was impressed to say the least!

Next I got a mixed signal, but it sounded good from all directions, cut a plug and got a silver nickel and 2 wheats, nice little spill. Ended up with one more wheat.

So two silver, and 3 wheats........2 hour hunt. First hunt with the etrac impressed me big-time!
here is a vid I made as well

How much are used Etracs moving for?

A Barber dime is a great first find, especially deep and under deep iron nails. It is a scary good first find.

no idea.........? I bought mine new

Very nice job on the barber dime and the silver war nickle!

I had no idea they ever made a silver nickel
What year(s), and what percentage of silver?
I havent been checking any of my nickels as the stuff I read on the net (I think coinflation).... I better start checking!
Glad to hear your machine is already working out for you. Just think how well you will do when you get'r figured out!

they call it a war nickel. 56% copper, 35% silver 9% manganese
made from mid 1942 through 1945
