Hello all!
I have been detecting for about 18 months now and Hace used the Minelab X-Terra 70 for 16 of the 18 months... I hunt mostly public places, but do get onto the occasional property / yard... I recently made the decision to move up to the E-Trac and opened all the boxes last night and got in my fist hunt today with her...
But 1st I have to post my last XT70 finds...
It had been a long few weeks and I've not been out and I had 1 hour of sun light left after I arrived at a local school. This school was built in 1907 and I've found many wheats, 1 merc, and one no dater buffalo... So I decided for the hour... this was to be the place....
I ended the hour with 2 keepers....
1939 Wheaty...
1914 D Barber Dime... My 5th Barber Dime for the year...
So.... E-Trac out of the box... battery pack all charged... I headed out to the bank yard (150X70)... Figiured I could see if I missed anything and get a feel for the all settings... I just started in the stock Coin mode...
5 minutes in I get my 1st solid signal..
1925 Wheaty... Nice for my 1st dig with the Etrac...
I decide to head back over to the school that yielded the Barber for a few hours...
I did manage 2 more wheaties...
1916 and another 1925...
The largest sinker I've ever dug... boy did this thing scream! There is a wooden handle pocket knive in there...
A suspender buckle...
A fist full of clad, junk ring... newer buttons...
Part of a Ring... looks like a horse shoe with a man in the middle...
My initial thought... Oh my god the pin pointing so spot on and a snap... Learning curve is not to bad... I feel like I have the basics...
Thank you for looking...
