I got permission to hunt a 1919 farmhouse. The house has been vacant for several years. I hit that spot first then moved over to the park in the area I found my first SLQ a couple weeks ago. The targets here are deep, like 6-9" deep, and usually pretty iffy on the Etrac. You can't rely on numbers too much here or you'll miss good targets. I saw a guy in the spring detecting this area and had actually written it off all summer knowing that the guy was there quite a bit and used a higher end detector. One day I decided to give it a go and see if he missed anything. Well he did. I think he dug most of the easy signals and avoided the trashy spots. I know I used to say it all the time that this park was "hunted out". I've since dropped that description since getting to know the Etrac better. Almost everytime out this machine amazes me. I still struggle with TTF but I'm getting alot better with everything else. I'm very confident that if the coil passes over something good that I will know to dig it. So long as it's within the detection depth of the coil. I just bought a 15" WOT coil from a fellow forum member and hope to go over some of my other areas to see if I can get some more depth. I'm hoping to be able to hit this spot more before the permafrost sets in. I hope you enjoy the video and like and subscribe if you do.
