I went out this afternoon after hitting an old steel mill town park this morning. I went to a Pittsburgh park. I went out with my GF Diggerbee and a friend, Dave, from my local metal detecting club. We arrived at the park and I saw some big old trees and pavillions and I thought that it would be a good place to start. Dave had his CTX3030, Diggerbee the AT Pro, and I had my Etrac.
Dave said he had hunted here before and found nothing, it might be hunted out. I suggested we try for a bit and if no one finds anything we can leave. We all agreed.
With no exageration, I turned on my Etrac, went up to the first big tree I saw, swung around the base, and within 4 swings, I had a solid 12-46 come up on the screen which usually means a quarter. 4 inches down, along the base of the tree, was a 1951 quarter! We stayed in that area of the park for the afternoon.
