Today's Hunt

It reached near 50 degrees today so I headed down to a local park to spend some time with the new E-Trac. I spent some time hiking around, probing the ground here and there to try and find a spot where the ground wasn't frozen and I could dig. I finally found one spot that set down in a swale that had a pretty good mat of grass on it to insulate the soil from the cold and it also lined up with the rays of the afternoon sun, which helped it to be the only place in the park where you didn't need a pick to break the ground. It also turned out to be a very trashy part of the park, with lots of iron in the ground. I swapped to the 6X8 SEF after some frustration trying to weave the Pro Coil between the multitude of iron targets. In a lot of the area it would just completely null the signal. The SEF seemed to be the ticket, as I was able to better seperate the good from bad. Not a real great afternoon in terms of finds but I had a great time and was able to pull some wheaty's out of this park that has been detected heavily for many years. I will definetly go back and spend some more time in the trashy area as I feel that may be why the wheaty's were still there. I just started to pack my camera with me and the photos I posted may not be the greatest but bear with me as I get a feel for the field pictures. I figured that most of you would just enjoy seeing some dirt.
 
Nice Finds! Congratulations!!!
 
I think the pictures are A1 my friend. You're are correct in assuming some of us would like to see some "unfrozen" soil! Congratulations on the finds and thank you for the post!

:thumbup:Wtg That coil was a great investment for you!!
 
Great pictures! The smaller coils are fun to use and make those real trashy areas easier to detect but don't give up on the pro coil in heavy trash. Once you learn the tones, the right settings for your area, and how to use the pro coil in heavy trash/iron it will sniff out the oldies like you can't believe. With the pro coil In heavy trash you have to slow it way down. In order to get better with it in heavy trash/iron you have to practice with it :detecting:

Hope your ground heats up soon. HH
 
good finds for sure, I bet if you tried TTF and the 6x8 coil in that same area where you are getting all the nulls you will be surprised what you find
 
Thanks for the tips Guy's. I'll give TTF a run in the trashy area maybe next time. As soon as the frost goes out of the ground, there is a ton of other great places in this park to detect so it will be a great place to spend time with the E-Trac. We'll see what turns up.

It sure is nice to see some fresh Idaho dirt! The snow's still too deep here. Congrats on finding those wheats!
