First Two Hours on the New eTrac

Took the new toy to the trashiest place I could find...I wanted to see what it would do. Used stock coin program and after 2 hours of hunting...I know for sure what the pulltabs sound like...as well as cans. Its about a 60 year old place, and polluted with pulltabs and trash...but when you get into the coins it sings the sweetest sound. I was only getting 11-13 on sensitivity in auto so that tells me the ground is also very mineralized? I hunted this same place with my last detector and found 2 pennies and a dime in the same amount of time but much more trash. My son gave up after digging a bag full of can slaw and pulltabs and no coins, and he runs a F75. My other hunting partner said he never wanted to go there again...too trashy....he runs a top of the line whites.

Deepest coin today was 5 inches and its very rocky there and hard to dig, so I am really wondering if anything is really much deeper than that. In all it was a great morning, and I like this detector more than any I have tried so far. I'll keep reading and learning from ya'all...this hobby is finally fun again. Lovin me some eTrac!!!

Here are my finds for the day.

Really nice start
 
Best way to learn.....Listen and Dig. Some of my best finds were not "genuine" coin sounds. Thanks for the pictures.

Yeah my buddy gave me a pretty hard time about it....said something like..."I really do like those old can tops!"....I just told him..."The truth will set u free"..:crylol:
 
I see ring pull tabs. That means there may be oldies in there. Keep at it. Silver is on the way. Grid that place and I bet you pull a silver dime out soon.
 
Oldest coin was a 67 quarter...i will definitely be going back there quite a bit this year as it is very difficult hunting with the ground being heavily mineralilzed and very trashy...I know the silver is in there somewhere. Really enjoying this machine. :detecting:
 
Big Thanks to Bart at Big Boys Hobbies! He is a great guy to deal with and I highly recommend him if you are in the market for metal detecting supplies. None better out there guys. Thanks again Bart!
