Yesterday I went an checked out a couple fishing holes and I didn't do any good an since I had about 2 hours of light left I went MDing. I went to a park that use to be a school and I'm not really sure when the school was built, but it's old. I don't really care to MD at this place because there is a lot of can slaw there and most times the grass is a lil too tall. They do not take care of this park very well. I haven't been to this place since I got the Etrac this spring so I figured I would give it a try there an see how it works in all the can slaw.
I come on to a signal that was not very good, the tones were all broke up and as I worked my way a round it the pin point kept moving on me, but the CO #'s stayed in the mid 40's and I was seeing a lot of #47. Also the depth meter was locked on 7" and that's the depth you want to see at this place.
I finally got a good pin point on it and cut a plug and I had to dig down about 7" before I found the first Barber quarter. I then rechecked the hole with the Garrett PP and it went off and out come a Barber dime. I rechecked the hole and nothing so I filled it in. After standing up I recheck the hole with the MDer
and I get the same crappy signal as I did before and right beside the old plug. I cut out a plug beside the old one and pulled out another Barber quarter and dime in that hole. Man I was all happy about that......... After that I worked my way back to the car and went home. I also found 2 wheat's while I was there.
I'm starting to like and get alone with the Etrac, it found my second best silver coin spill
Thanks for lookin
