HELLO, THESE ARE SOME OF MY FINDS FROM THE PAST 10 DAYS OF HUNTING WITH THE E-TRAC. THE SILVER 2 REALE COIN WAS FOUND 18" DEEP IN A FIELD THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE MANY TIMES IN THE PAST. WE HAD ALSO DONE THIS FIELD WITH THE SE AND COME UP MANY COLONIALS AND LARGE CENTS. WE ASKED THE PROPERTY OWNER AND HE AGREED TO LET US MOW THE FIELD. WE USED A 50" DECK RIDING MOWER. THIS WORKED OUT GREAT AS THE THE FIELD WAS ABOUT 2 ACRES AND GRIDING THE FIELD WAS DIFFICULT. MOWING THE FIELD PUT US WITHIN 2" OF GROUND LEVEL AND PROVED TO BE A GREAT WAY OF GRIDING THE FIELD. THE RESULT WAS THIS 2 REALE COIN WE HAD MISSED IN EARLIER HUNTS JUST BY BEING OFFTRACK IN HUNTING THE FIELD. THE 1845 LARGE CENT WAS FOUND IN ANOTHER FIELD, THIS COIN WAS ABOUT 16" DEEP AND WHILE THIS IS NOT WHAT WE ARE SEARCHING FOR, A NICE COIN ANYWAY. THE UNIDENTIFIED COLONIAL YOU SEE PICTURED WAS FOUND ABOUT 19" DEEP AT AN OLD SITE. THERE WERE LOTS OF SMALL TREES AND SMALL BRUSH AROUND THE SITE AND GRIDING THE SITE WAS DIFFICULT. THIS COIN WILL BE CONSERVED IN THE FUTURE AND WE ARE CERTAIN WE WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THIS COIN. WE ARE NOW ABOUT 3 WEEKS INTO USING THE E-TRACS AND ALL SEEMS TO BE GOING WELL.
