Got an etrac finally. I got tired of everyone else havin all the fun finding silvers! First hunt out and DDub and Treasurefiend were kind enough to take me out and show me how to use this thing a little bit... well, 6 hours or so and no silvers the first time out but 4 wheaties and a deep Indian about 6 inches down. The Iindian was a solid signal that I doubt the Ace 250 would have picked up. Its in great shape I think. Anyone know what a hot hydrogen bath would do to it?

*added a picture after a hydrogen peroxide bath

Nice IH :thumbsup:

Wouldn't hurt to try the Peroxide since it's not a key date.
Heat the Peroxide in the microwave until it "fizzes". . . drop coin in and scrub with toothbrush after it cools down.
Repeat as necessary until all crud is dissolved then coat with hot bees wax. Then enjoy :)
 

Very nice I.H.. Good luck getting the silver with your new E-trac
 

congrats on a nice indian and also your purchase of an etrac!
