I've had my Etrac for about a month now and have only had a chance to get out a handful of times...but they have been rather productive ones!

I've picked up over 40 wheats in 4 hunts. They seem to pop out everywhere and I use them as a welcome indicator of silver in the area. I picked up two '41 Mercs at my mother-in-law's house right before she completed the sale of the house. The other 2 Mercs (a '24 and '43) and a well worn '44 quarter were picked up at a local school sledding hill.

The best find's so far this season was a 100 year old mini pocket spill. At the front lawn of a local business in a place I've been over with every detector I've ever owned, the silver tune played loud and clear. At a good 7 inches I found a 1906 and a nearly flawless 1909 barber dime. I'm hoping to get back out there with Russ (rwb83) this weekend in search of more.

Real Nice silver, especially the Barbers!! I'd say the ET has been good to you. I hear that story over and over on how it is picking up silver where other machines have not. I must admit, I'm a believer lol Great start and many more to come, I'm sure!! Congrats on the Barbers and all the rest thumbsup01

Awesome silver my friend. You are right about the Etrac finding what was missed. Where I'm hunting right now is where I have gone over several times with my old detector and I'm finding the deeper coins. It's amazin :shocked04: :drool: lol Well done on your finds.
