Unfortunately, this one was so bad on BOTH sides it was unidentifiable. I am thoroughly impressed however. When I tell you this old school house was POUNDED I mean it was POUNDED. I found quite a bit with my Sovereign back in the day and also a few more with previous versions of the Explorer. The Minelabs seem to be the only detectors that work here well. WHY? Because the entire hunting ground is littered with coal clinkers and iron. I'm really impressed at how quiet the Etrac ran even at full manual sens in some spots! Some areas here in TTF sound like a machine gun of low grunts though. Thank God for BBS and FBS detectors! Minelab is SERIOUS about getting it right and PRODUCING. Like I said, obviously not much to brag about but not bad for two short hunts about 2 hours each. I'm 2 for 2 so far and heading out for the third time this morning. Hope SILVER is in the cards for today. HH George

Nope no silver but I did nab another deep wheat and another IH, this time with a date! (189:geek:. I'm mostly using a wide open or relic pattern with FTF or multi ferrous. Today I experimented with the coins mode but I feel that it just uses TOO much disc for this particular site. HH George
 
what is it? what numbers does it read? still a cool find, we all love the coin pics! almost looks like a super crusty wheatie but i cant tell.
 
Yeah I'm pretty sure that was a wheatie. The ground is so bad at this site, only silver seems to survive. I think it came in at 32 conductive?
