    Old church hunt.

    I returned to a church that I had hunted in the past with the V3i. Most of the area around the church has been filled and graded except for the front yard. I had difficulty with EMI last time I hunted it and I was fairly new to the V3i. I also followed a random pattern during that hunt. So I decided to give it a more thorough search with the Etrac and I found a few nice keepers. The Etrac with the Detech 13 inch coil handled the EMI just fine. I was able to run manual sensitivity at 25 with just a little chatter.
    The Merc is 1945, the two Buffalos were part of pocket spill which included 3 wheats, the Rosie is 1957 and was in the hole with a 47 Nickel. I also found 5 more wheats, $2.14 in clad, two medals and a women's Timex wrist watch.

    Great hunt Jeff! Gridding the area with the E-Trac really paid off.

    The old pocket spill was a fun dig.

    Glad to hear you, the E and your new coil are getting along very nicely. I'm looking forward to your next hunt. :->
