House Site :hot:

Well the E-trac is still performing amazing!
I went to this old house site I got permission early this year.. When I first got permission to search the lady told me that others have in the past and I probably wouldn't find anything.. I just smiled and said ill give it a shot anyway.. The firs time I hunted the house was with the Explorer.. I found all kinds of goodies,,, Silver quarter, Indians and some neat house hold items... Lately I haven't had any luck at all there.. With the explorer or the F75 I recently purchased and sold..
Today I decided it would be great to give the E-trac a chance there... I set it up in Ferrous, 2 tone, in all metal! It worked awesome in this iron infested yard! I still dug a few nails but the good targets rang right out there! As soon as I turned the E-trac on I walked off the side of the driveway in the direction I always start in... The first target I ended up digging was a DEEP piece of iron! So I took a few more steps and got a perfect tone the repeated from all directions. I opened up the whole and stared shifting the dirt around,,, Then I got what every detectorist hopes for.. The sight of silver :yikes: I hurried up and grabbed it out of the hole,, I could clearly see the seated lady on the front as well as the date 1877! I flipped her over on her stomach looking for the a mint and about fell over when I saw CC at the bottom... My first CC coin I have found... I am super happy with it and the way the E-trac performed! I searched around a bit longer before the rain and found a wheaty I missed as well as some scrap pieces of metal thought I had cleaned out of the yard!
Ill keep you all informed with the progress of the E machine lol
Thanks for lookin guys!

to make it work well. I am loving my Explorer SePro............. and getting good results with it.

How are you doing with that F Series you picked up............
 
Nice work....love those old sites!!!!

All metal with ferrous tones in iron works a treat! I nearly always find coins in the iron patches on pounded sites.

Once you've gone over it with the pro-coil.... which should get 95% of the goodies. Try again with one of the smaller coils and you should pull out a few more.

I put on the coiltek Joey and find stuff the pro-coil missed, if I've done a good job with the pro-coil I'll usually only find smaller coins with the Joey (Aussie 1cent/3 pence size) that are very tightly located with iron/trash, these coins often only respond in one direction.

Oh yeah....make sure you slow that swing right down, makes a huge difference in the trash/iron with the e-trac.......let that processor do it's thing :thumbup:

Cheers
 
I know you probably will not sell it......But what's a coin like that worth anyway? (I'm not up with US stuff)

Cheers
 
Great finds, you are starting to get the hang of this new machine. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on your finds. HH...Jesse.
