Hey my friend, Are you saying that the 6 times prior hunting that ground you were using a different machine? If so, how do rate the minelab machine to the other? Those are some nice digs there, my hearty Congrats!

Dave, looks like an old lace hook, a tool like this was used to tighten laces on "old" lace up boots. Back in the UK in the40's and 50's we used to use a tool like this to lace up soccer ball, long before these new fagled bladder less balls

yes indeed , i hit that yard hard with my minelab SE, and the e-track did much better , deeper targets and separation from iron was great and it was so quiet , i had to wave my ring under the coil to make sure it was working

I would have to say ...you and your E-trac kicked some butt!......nice job

Congrats on a great hunt. All those spots that you've pounded in the years past are all new virgin ground once again.

Invariably the first few times I hunt an old site, most of my digging is for the shallow (clad) targets. Now that you've hunted this place 6-7 times, chances are good that only the good stuff remain. I'll bet there are some nice targets still there. Keep us updated!
