We took a long ride to a site that has been good to Dan and me. All day hunt and let me tell you, an Etrac with the 18x15 SEF coil is brutal on the arm Man that thing is heavy, especially if you put some snow on top of the coil! Day started off slow, but finished strong for me. Only one button despite digging 20 shotgun shells. Some odds and ends and finally a 1802 Draped Bust large cent at around 6" and a monster 1826 Geo IV copper at only 5". If anyone has any doubt about the masking effect on targets, this one proves it. I would have never guessed a copper with the signal I barely received. Iron everywhere in and around the hole. I have detected that same spot many times and never heard it before. It was great to get out and enjoy a full days hunt.
