1898 indian head penny about 8-9 inches deep.. The ET does a great job on the coins. yesterday 1941 quarter and 1883 dime. found a womans class ring last week along with other silver coins, mostly dimes. not too long ago dug 1877 quarter...As far as silver I think the et is hard to beat if even possible....Usually target ID is right on...even on deeper coins.

Nice! Was there any iron in the hole (did you check)? Is your soil iron mineralized? I find these two things to cause coins in my soil to drop, when it's just the iron mineralization I get bounces and when there is iron in the hole, the Fe number can stay down low from blending or the like.
The CO numbers are usually quite tight.

Sounds good ....
The E.Trac is the best coin shooter out there at the moment and far better than the Deus which i am trying to sell. The ET tones and numbers are very accurate and although the numbers may change very slightly i have seen that the Deus numbers can change a lot or be arratic at times .
ET rules i think. Till ET 2 comes out that is.

despite what the people selling the Deus are telling us the Deus is made for the UK market and conditions with lots of iron and small hammered roman/ British coins so unless you have these conditions and are looking for lower conductors i would be sticking to the etrac.
not saying the Deus is no good it excels at what its made for etrac is made for what we use it for parks with modern trash and silver underneath it Deus is not made for that, so if you have heaps of iron with no modern trash then it may do the etrac in but otherwise for me i will stay with the etrac. looking on the Deus forum its not doing as well as expected in modern parks for deep silver.
Sonny(IN) did that coin go past 27 at any point?

And repeatable "good" sounding target is worth a dig!

Quote: (I have dug over 300 indians with my etrac now....90% have been in the range of 32-37 on the CO side....for the ferrous side they are 01-12 real deep ones are normallythe lower ones in 01 range)
I have dug a few that hit as low as 27 conductive but they were either very corroded or in very bad mineralized soil.
I do know for a fact that if you run a very open pattern in conductive tones that very deep silver coins will hit from 12 through the 30's on the ferrous side while the same targets in the coins mode will remain very near the 12 area or even lower if extremely deep or on edge.
If you use an open quickmask to check very deep targets you will be fooled into leaving some very deep coins for the next guy who goes by the conductive tones and a good bit of disc.
I have a 9" plus silver test dime that will hit,sound and ID quite well in manual 26 or above in the coins mode but will id as iron on the ferrous scale in the open quickmask screen.
The E-Trac is optimized to ID best with a fair amount of disc with very little depth loss.....
PS The numbers will be scewed toward iron in pinpoint mode as well on those very deep coins,Ray.

So are you saying that for deeper coins it's actually better to run a more closed pattern? I usually run the andy s. pattern and disc everything 26+ out on the ferous side. I have found that if I run this pattern and dig repeatable signals (despite the ferous numbers) It's usually a coin.
