Got out on Friday and tried the Etrac at a city park. Good news is that the Etrac works on the park's west side where the overhead powerlines are. My Fisher F-75 is not stable near these lines. I did find 14 wheats on the hill by the power lines and the oldest turned out to be 1909.
Hunted in the county this afternoon and dug a pigeon band. Here are the identifying marks:
The AU identifies this as a banded pigeon registered with the American Racing Pigeon Union. Their website gives information on how to make sense of the numbers and letters on a band. https://www.pigeon.org/lostbirdinfo.htm
The 89 below 'AU' would be the year the hatchling was banded, thus 1989.
The FFC specifies the local pigeon racing club, in this case, The Lancaster Pigeon Club of Lancaster, Ohio.

I like finding these and it's not often enough. This little bird travelled about 400 miles.
