Took the wife detecting today. She was using the MXT and I was using the E-Trac. We went to a spot I've been wanting to detect for a couple of years now and today was perfect. I managed to find a silver dime and seven wheats. Almost everything I dug was near iron. I had my wife check several...

I had to work part of Saturday and Sunday (which ended up being 12:30 am this morning). I was supposed to go to work this morning but suddenly felt sick. ;) Since the day was going to be sunny and a beautiful 64 degrees I decided to hit a spot I've been wanting to get at for a couple of weeks...

crying01 I'll miss you silver! Please come back! I feel like that kid at the end of Shane. Anyway... Here's my meager finds. Gary and Dave got the goodies. They're going to get something from me next time we meet up. :beatdown: lol Lane, seriously, we've got to get you (and me) some silver...

Dave and I met up this morning around 9 am. I found us a couple of new locations to try out. The first location was an old park from the 1890's. I know it's been hit pretty hard before, but thought we'd give it a try for just a bit. I stuck to the outside edges of the park where most...

I went back to the yard where I had found the Barber dime and wheats last weekend. I decided to hit the area where I found the dime and take my time. I wasn't getting many hits, but then I hit a little strip and started finding some wheats. Then I got a nice FE CO of 12-13 which is almost always...

Though not nearly as impressive as Angel's finds for just October, I'm pretty exicted at the amount of silver I have dug since using the E-Trac. At least half of these coins and jewelry I'm certain I could not have found using my MXT due to the conditions they were found in. Most of these came...

My wife took this shot in Yellowstone earlier this year. This is one awesome looking elk.

I don't include war nickels in my silver tally, but I've seen others that do. Since they're only 35% silver I would feel like I was cheating if I included them. :grin:

I went back to an area that had done me well in the past. I don't normally go there because it's such a long drive, but I really felt like getting some silver so I could try and catch up to Steve before the end of the year. :twirlingeyes: When I arrived the empty lot wasn't empty anymore...

These are finds that I didn't get around to posting. They're from about three or four weeks ago when I was out hunting with Dave's Kansas. I had a good time.

I wanted to start this thread for all the questions and answers about the E-Trac and any technical information you want to share (settings, etc...). This is the place to tell us all about your experiences or if you're curious about the E-Trac in general.

I get a chuckle when I think about how hard it is for me to find silver where I live. So far this year I have found 19 silver coins. Of those, only four came from Oklahoma where I live. The rest have all been on trips out of state! Anyone else have this problem?

Hola everyone!
