I thought i'd share a few finds from pretty good day. I have never posted my finds before so i need a little work on the photo skills. the last week or two has been nice here in UT. 3 weeks ago I still had 3.5 feet of snow in parts of my yard, now it's almost gone. I wasn't planning on going out today but today was day 75 degrees (new record) so i couldn't pass up the opportunity to get out. I'm glad I did. I usually try and hunt construction but with spring just arriving here there isn't much of that going on yet. I ended up going to a home that i've had my eye on for awhile and was able to catch someone there. The home was built around 1900 and had a very large front yard. The owner told me it had been detected before (few years ago) and gave the go ahead. It was a little slow at first and I was looking for the deep signals. First good find was a wheat at 6-7in, and then I pulled out a 1917merc a few swings later. I'd been swinging for about and 30 minutes when i got a nice deap indian signal and pulled out a really nice 1900 indian. Six inches away i pulled a 1989 indian. After about 2.5 hours I had recovered 5 indians, (1900 x2, 1895,1894, 1889), 2 mercs (17, and 25s), a 1897 barber quarter, along with 9 wheats.
It was a great little hunt. I've had my etrac for a bit more than a year but this is the first year I've really used it. Last year things just didn't come together and I hunted very little. I was really happy with the depth i ended up getting. the wheats all came up from 6 inches or more and the indians and mercs where all at 7-10. Durring the summer I'm not sure how good a signal if any I would have gotten on some but with all the snow melt the ground is very moist and i got great depth.
I ended up stopping at another house...only had 30 minute and ended up picking up another wheat and a Dairy token that has been pretty beaten up. Token reads Blue Ribbon Dairy/Good for 1 Quart of Milk. It's unlisted but tokens are my favorite!!
