Today I got out for a few hours of detecting. I decided to search one of the older schools. I know it's been hunted a lot, but I remained hopefull. My first target was a 1938 wheatie. I was hoping this was a good sign. A couple hours later I pulled the second wheatie. Then, I finally saw the...

Well, it's been weeks since I found my last silver coin. It was starting to get frustrating. Early this morning I hit the park that I have been working over the last few weeks. I spent 5 hours in the park today, and covered an area about 100 x 100 feet. So far I've covered maybe 500 x 100 feet...

OK, as most here probably remember, my first few hunts with my E-Trac resulted in 3 new silvers. The last couple weeks have been really crappy for finds though. Been trying some old sites that gave up silver in the past, and some new sites (that date back to 1900). Only a couple wheaties, some...

Yeah, I know the saying and I know it is true. But I feel like maybe I have hunted out one of my spots. It just so happens that this site is right behind the fire station I work at. In the past I have pulled IHs, barbers, mercs, rosies, silver jewelry, tokens (very rare tokens) from this site...

Well, I got out for a couple hours again today. Boy I wish this beautiful weather would hold out. Anyway, two old house sites. First I found a ring that had me doing the happy dance after I saw 18K. Then I got it cleaned and saw base-metal and HGE (Heavy Gold Electroplate). :-\ Then I went to...

I was talking with a co-worker the other day, and it turns out he has a rent house he is remodeling for a few months. Of course I HAD to ask for permission to hunt it. My research shows the house was built in 1945. It's a small house with a small yard, but I won't pass up anything, I hit it...

OK, we all know that the E-Trac is a killer on the silver coins, so I have a question in regards to something from Andy's book. Andy says that while the Co number will stay basically solid, the Fe numbers can raise as the depth of the coin increases. All the way up to an Fe of 27. This is the...

In the evenings I like to hit the forums at work (fire dept, 24 hour shifts). When I tried to come to this website, it was blocked! The blocking message says it was on the administators list of banned websites. Considering how new this is, I can't believe it's on a list for any reason. I wonder...

After giving up on a couple 10-12 inch deep holes today, I decided that the extra depth of E-Trac requires the use of a probe. I have decided to go with the Sunray brand after ready many user reviews. So my question for you sunray users is.... Where is the best palce to buy one (I don't have a...

Just wanted to let you all know that the History Channel is running a few shows about sunken treasure today!

Today was my second day out with my E-Trac. I pulled a few bucks in clad and a silver St. Michael medal. These were the only old finds so far , and these are UGLY! From left to right is a Merc , Wheat, Wheat. Pre and post cleaning pics are same order. Notice the rust in the corrosion on the...

Another newb here. Actually, I'm just stalking OkieDigger. :grin:
