So last week I got an awesome deal on a trade-in plus some cash for a used E-trac. It was bought last summer and still has warranty until 2015. It's on its way here now and I couldn't be more pumped. I dont have Andys book like so many people say is necessary, but I'm hoping I can do without for the time being (I spent enough as is at the moment). I am open to any tips or tricks anyone might be able to share. I'm planning on using my dads backyard as a testing ground because of an old burnt down foundation thats back there and I have found some nice stuff in the past. So glad to be a part of this group!

Hey, Bobby S. Down to about 16 hours now. Are you chomping at the bit? Just remember, there is a learning curve so don't jump out there too quickly and get frustrated. You'll love the E-trac once you've got it dialed in....might curse it a few times along the way though. Good luck and I hope you pull some nice finds from your Dad's yard.
Unfortunately it wont be here til Friday now...its supposed to rain tomorrow anyways, so it would of just been a tease. But im going to do all i can to make the relationship work. I know there are a few places that haven't been hit before and this is the machine that can help clear some of it out

Test out a bunch of targets you have to get a feel for the numbers, or buy/borrow some poor condition coins of some of the more rare items.
If you are able, you can also make a test garden.
Also, dig some signals that don't fall in the coin range, they could turn out to be some goodies like buttons. I found this out after hitting a site twice and ignoring anything except coins. I missed at least 15 really old buttons this way.
