    Congrats on beating your personal best! thumbsup01 I was out running errands and then decided to view the video on my phone. lol Nice video. You were popping wheat cents left and right! And several where close to each other. That must be a very peaceful and fun place to hunt. I love those mercury dimes. I bet they sounded sweet on your E-Trac.

    4 in a day! got me beat...my record is 3 too.. That is an awesome site you got there...all them wheats it is going to be full of silver. Just wait till you get about a month under your belt with that E-trac and go back... the junk pile will be cut to a couple nails. Amazing how many signals and how sensitive the ET is ain't it? You've got the best detector and a honey hole exclusively to yourself!

    Nice hunt Tim. Them Mercs look like they are in real good shape too. The sweet number to remember is 12-46 lol Thems is silver dimes baby 8) rofl But 10-46 or 8-46 or 6-46 is even better cause thems is silver quarters and halves Nice video. If you are ever up there again and want to tackle that silver record, dig only CO numbers of 45 or 46 and just cherry pick the silvers Great job and congrats on you hunt with ET.
