After messing around with the emulator last night, I noticed you could trace where all the US coins hit and they seemed to follow a fairly straight line across the screen from left to right. I decided to mask everywhere but where the coin trace pattern hit to see if I could weed out a coin or two from a sight I've just about giving up on. It's a vacant lot where a house once stood and is littered with iron debris everywhere. I went out this morning with my coins only program to check it out. I used the SEF 8x6 coil instead of the stock due to the amount of trash in hunt zone. First target was a wheatie next to a nail, the next hit was a nasty disc that I thought was a knockout from a metal electrical box, but, as I started wiping it off, I saw what I thought was some stars around the edges. Sure enough baby, a beat to hell V nickle. It sure made my day. I was going to sell the E-trac, but, I'm thinking I need to put a bit more time into it. I have hunted the same spot with 3 or 4 different machines, including the XP Deus, but missed it with all of them.
