    Learning and loving the ETrac

    Got my ETrac a little over a month ago and am loving it!! Im starting to get the hang of picking out the not quite so clear-iffy signals. Heres the silver from a couple after work hunts the last couple nights. I didnt picture the wheats I pulled and have been passing signals in the 5 or less depths (gotta leave something for my brother lol). The weather has been turning chilly here making the detecting a little more enjoyable than in the miserable heat we were having.

    Super nice finds, thats a bunch of silver. My hunting partner uses the Etrac and has had pretty good success with it. Keep learning, keep digging and more of the goods will come your way.

    I don't see any Rosies or Washingtons in there. You better start digging shallower targets or you'll leave some behind!

    Seriously, those are some great finds! Congrats to you!

    Thanks Jason. Ive pulled quite a few rosies from the site, but lately Ive just been bent on trying to find older, deeper coins at the site.The signals Ive been digging have pretty jumpy FE numbers (anywhere from 01 to 17) but the COs stay fairly consistent (high 30s and up). Ive been mainly listening to the audio and then looking at the screen, but every so often I'll get a great sounding iffy signal and will give decent numbers and even pinpoint the same spot Im recieving the signal, but after the plug is cut the signal seems to disappear. Not sure what to make of it, unless its a rust spot where some iron has completely disintegrated away.??

    Congrats and welcome to the Minelab machines. My hunting partner switched brands this year.
    For the first time since he has been detecting (many years), he has reached a 100 silver year. Previous seasons
    yielded 20's and 30's.

    No doubt you will continue to learn and enjoy shiny coins in your holes. :->

    Re: Learning and loving the ETrac

    I love my E-Trac...but I dig most silvers at less than 5 inches, even LCs and other older coins...so don't go by depth, go by signal and tone
