Hi everyone, Ron here. I am retired, and an avid walleye fisherman, pheasant hunter, ginseng hunter, hornets nest hunter and grandpa.
Been detecting a long time. I used a different brand for many years and finally bought the Minelab Etrac in December 2011. With the help of Joe, it has been fun using my new machine in 2012. Never, ever have I had a silver coin count year like this. Nearly all of the following came from parks and churches in my area that I gave up on with my old machines.
The big stuff -
Seated coins -
My Barbers, Merc and Shield nickel -
Common Mercs -
and Rosies -
Plus silver rings, medals and stuff (shot 1853 Seated quarter and Two Cent piece)
Before this year, my best seasons were 10-30 silver coins mostly hunting private properties.
An exciting year hunting with jkress along with a lot of rewarding time searching solo.
131 silver coins, a bunch of wheat cents and IH's along with some nice relics.
A big thank you to everyone here for the incentive to get out there with my Etrac.
p.s. Joe tells me he might take my Minelab battery packs away for 2013. lol
