Late afternoon hunt gives me silver...

[jkress]

With the last 2 hours of daylight today open for me... I headed out again.

I went back to a spot I hit several times last year with my Ace. I wasn't there too long before the first silver dime came out of hiding, the others followed in quick order.

Does anybody else with an Explorer notice how closely copper pennies and dimes sound? .... or is it just me?

Joe you are a silver magnet , doesnt that put you over 100?

You ARE a silver magnet. Congrats!!

And yes, I remember the similarity between copper pennies and dimes on the SE.

Thanks for the confirmation. Sometimes it drives me crazy. The wheats will often hit at 00-29. It's almost a flip of the proverbial coin when I dig those signals as to what is going to be in the hole. Do you notice a more pronounced difference on the Etrac between the wheats and the dimes?

It was easy digging. It is a long stretch of brick sidewalk that is about 3 inches under the surface. The coins can't sink any further. But there is a blanket of metal targets laying right on top of the old brick sidewalk. I was actually quite surprised I missed so many coins with my 250. Of course I didn't dig too many penny signals back then. The street light on the corner helped quite a bit too.

Big congrats on a great hunt there Joe! You gotta be close to the 100 mark, hope I didn't jinx you! The amount of wheats and IH's you have found this year is impressive. What is your total on the wheat cents and IH's??

Yes!!

But it may be just that I have more recent experience with the E-Trac. It is easy to tell wheats from dimes on the E-Trac... except when they are deep the rule is to dig them all... the silver dimes can come in much lower than expected depending on conditions.

Thanks milco... I think the reason I have gotten so many wheats this year is because, as we are just talking about, they ring up so, so close to a dime for me on my machine. Once I learned what the IH's sound like, I started scooping those up too. My counts are Wheats = 442 and Indian Heads = 45

Yes!!

.... interesting. I really like the idea of getting a more accurate target id as well as everything else the Etrac has to offer. Maybe next year...
