I hunted on Saturday for a couple of hours at a site that used to be where the first church in town was located - unfortunately it is 95% paved over but there were a few spots I could hunt. Found one 1929 wheat, a button from a company that was in business from 1889-1916 and a token (possibly a luggage tag) from The Yeomen which was a type of masonic lodge that provided insurance to its members (circa 1187 - 1932). (see: http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/masonicmuseum/fraternalism/yeomen.htm)
Today I hunted with one of my club's members at a local park for four hours before a cold front blew in and sent us packing. I picked up 2 mercs, 1 buffalo, 5 wheats (1929S, 1929S, 1934D, 1944D, 1945S) and three rings. The thin one is copper, the eagle is copper-nickel and the last one is silver with a star sapphire.
The more I use this detector the more impressed I am with it. I would say the average depth of the finds were six inches but what suprised me was most were inches from iron targets but the Etrac had no problem sounding off. Just for fun I'm posting a picture of my junk from today to show any of the newer users that I dig more junk than coins (always have and probably always will).
