My wife gave me an E-Trac for Christmas. It's been working pretty well for me, and I'm getting more familiar with it. Was on the road today, finished work early, changed my clothes, and found a fairgrounds in this town and did some detecting. Didn't take long to find a 1939 wheatie. Then after several POJ's, I hit a good and moderately deep signal which was solid all around. I suspected it could be an IH and sure enough; 1902 and in good shape.
Had some lunch then, and headed toward home, but stopped in another town on the way and hunted a little at the city park. This park has been detected to death, but still yields occasional silver like the 1964 dime in the photo.
Two weeks ago I was in east Texas visiting my daughter, son-in-law, and their new born baby boy (my 9th grandchild; my 10th grandchild was born April 1 in Utah). I did a little hunting there, and the only find worth mentioning is the 1953 quarter in the photo.
I like the E-Trac, especially how light it is. I'm prone to metal detector's elbow, so the lighter weight has really helped. I seem to dig more junk with it, but I attribute that to inexperience. We'll see if that gets better. Going to hunt another fairgrounds in a different county tomorrow. Hoping for some silver.
The spot price of silver today is around $18.00. This means a silver dime is worth about $1.30. The price of gasoline here is $2.60 per gallon. So, you can buy a gallon of gas for two silver dimes; 20 cents in lawful money. Gasoline hasn't gotten any more expensive. Our money has been debased.

Not sure why but I really like digging up Indian heads! You got a nice looking one there!
