My hunting time is pretty limited, so when I do get the opportunity to get out for a whole day..I jump on it. Yesterday was one of those days for me, and I went with my son and spent the day detecting in a farmers pasture. There were several civil war events in this area, of which I am constantly researching more about all the time. We started out on one end of the property and proceeded to clean out aluminum, iron and shotgun shells. The ground is medium to downright red and tough so we were digging even the wonky signals. By 11 oclock we had our finds bags full and decided to go empty them and take a short break.

We picked back up where we left off and within minutes I got a rock solid 12-36. 5 inches down was my first three ringer...ever. After that we started concentrating on this one area and I found 7 more bullets and my son managed to pull his first civil war bullet...in all it was an awesome day, and we were both pretty tired by the end of the day. I had the etrac set up in TTF and that's how I hunted with it all day. I was getting numbers from 10-34 to 12-39 but even when I was getting funky numbers I knew...when I had a good target under the coil. I am very happy with this new machine, I have owned many detectors...but never one that impressed me the way this one does...it is definitely a keeper. I've still got hundreds of acres to hunt on this old farm...so the fun is just beginning. If I ever had any doubts about the etrac as a capable relic machine...they were washed away yesterday!

Walking back to the truck I was scanning a spot in the yard by the farmers house and got a sweet sound and a 12-38 that was pretty solid. 5 Inches down and up pops a 1905 IHP...and I am going to have to go back to hunt his yard...because there is so much metal in the ground there I cannot seperate targets at all with ths stock coil.

That was our day...oh and one more thing...I am now 18 hours of hunting into my first battery charge on my RNB innovations battery....and it's still at full charge on the battery meter....maybe something is wrong with it...but wow...I can get used to this.
