The sweetest sound I've heard the Etrac make since I've been hunting.

[Grunter]

I was hunting the wet sand a couple of days ago. I heard the sweetest low tone I've heard on my Etrac since I've been hunting, Out popped this little number from about 6-8" Its a Turkish coin minted between 1803 and 1829. It is 1.57 grams of 22K. My first GOLD coin. I'm sorry I didn't confirm the VDI but I hunt by tone and only look at the VDI if its an iffy.

Holy Smokes!! That is Awesome Grunter!!! Nice Find!!

The more uniform the shape and composition,the more exact,mellow and sweet the signal. This is where the CTX went backward in the audio.
That's quite a find Grunter! Better scan that area some more!

Was it a mid, mid high, or high tone?

 

[Grunter]

It was a very distinctive low tone that you would have to hear. It was mellow like a 12-01 thru 12-05 but softer.

Feel free to bury that in a park near me! ;-)

Thanks. Is that coin small like a Roosevelt dime maybe? I walk past a lot of 12-1 to 12-05.

 

[Grunter]

It is thin but it approximates a nickel in circumference.

Grunter, what country are you in, or what part of the country if in the u.s.. I just can't imagine something like that being found on u.s. heavily hunted beaches.

 

[bootyhoundpa]

Wow, how cool is that... congrats..

 

[Sooper Dave]
