Detector(s) used
Etrac with Sunray x1 probe
I finally got to try out my new Etrac Detector. It was 68 degrees yesterday and my friend Dan Stopped by and asked if I wanted to go out. We knocked on doors and were allowed to hunt at three older homes.
I love this new detector, the ergonomics are really good, after four hours I could not feel any fatigue.
The sites had a lot of iron but I had my best day ever, I found my first Mercury dime (1917), my first Washington quarter (1943), and my first buffalo nickel (1937). My neatest find was a 1913 Pa drivers license. I also found a neat pilots pin.

Does anyone know anything about the Sky Pilot wings I found??
 
Nice finds. Love the driver's license.
 
Someone told me that the sky pilot wings were given to kids on the first commercial airlines???
 
Looks like you are a naural for the Etrac, great finds.
 
Great finds and pictures. Looks like a good foundation for many more successful hunts. Good luck !
