A big thanks to the etrac experts on here. Reading your suggestions and Andys book has really helped me start getting the most out of the etrac.

Yesterday in about 3hrs found 2 mercs, 11 wheats and this beauty.

Here is a video I made of some of the digs. Lots of coins standing on edge.

Awesome hunt MercMan. :peace:

Congrats on the silver... especially the WLH. <:

I really enjoyed the video and got a kick out of your comment, Please Lord, don't let me have scratched her. :) I can't tell you have many times I have spoken the same words after unearthing a nice coin like that. lol

Great stuff!!

Great going with that E Trac :clapping: Them are some deep targets. That sand is a bad thing but also helps with depth. In my soil I would have missed those wheats. Nice silver hunt and well worth the digging needed. You learned well! :happydance01:
