    First silver half of the year!!!!!

    Got out yesterday with the E-trac and the T2 limited to compare signals, I had the 5 in coil on the T2 and the 8x6 sef on the E-trac. I got a jumpy signal on the E-trac that gave a vdi like a penny, I checked it with the T2 and it was a jumpy signal but still an obvious coin signal from both machines.The spot I was hunting is an old carnival grounds that has been hunted hard for a long time so you don't really find many coins there, So when I dug the signal I was expecting a wheat or a worn dime at best, To my surprise it turned out to be a walking liberty half that was only down about 3 inches deep. The reason the walker gave a low vdi was because there was a large piece of iron a few inches deeper than the coin. I got it all on video if your interested in hearing what the signal sounded like. Got the merc today from the same spot. Thanks for looking HH Video # 9 for 2012, First silver half of the year.wmv

    Fantastic hunt, finding that WLH at only three inches from a heavily hunted spot has got to make you feel good. That's the reward for knowing your machine. Huge congrats on all your finds.

    Great hunt coop. That big piece of iron sure broke up the WLH signal. Glad to see you were able to sniff it out. thumbsup01
