Got a very dicey CO 40-42 on the E-Trac at about 8 inches, but the first target I pulled out of the hole was a pink nickel I couldn't identify :crazy:. Scanned the hole and the high target was still down there, which I figured was a wheatie, but I pulled out a larger copper. Cleaned them off...

Didn't expect to get out today, but managed to sneak out for a few hours this morning, and was glad I did, as I was fortunate enough to pull a handful of silver dimes.

Went back to one of my favorite places this afternoon, and pulled 21 wheaties, which is a record for me. It was frustrating, as it was just one wheatie after the next, and the silver just wouldn't come for a while :bangahead01:, but I kept at it and eventually got 5 silvers as well...

Pulled this treasure today :twirlingeyes:. If you can make out that mintmark :crazy: PM me lol I can't make it out with a magnifier, tho probability suggests that its an S. I didn't have my magnifier with me in the field today, so imagine hunting for a couple of hours with that thing in my...

Took advantage of the beautiful weather to get to one of my favorite places, and pulled 6 silvers and 16 wheats. :happydance01: 5 of the silvers were a challenge -- three were really iffy signals, one was masked by a '65 clad quarter and was only found on a rescan (good thing I dig my clad and...

I like digging wheaties as much as the next guy, but you would think the silvers could have at least managed a field goal :mad: I found 7 wheaties in the first 45 minutes, and thought finding the shiny stuff was gonna be like shooting fish in a barrel, but it was not to be. I find it hard to...

Got out this morning before errands and other commitments, and was pretty much skunked, but commitments fell thru, and I got the rest of my stuff done early, and just by luck lol managed to end up mid afternoon near a site that has given up the goods in the past. Managed to pull a badly worn...

finally pulled something shiny this afternoon. I was getting spoiled pulling 1 silver for every 2 wheats this year, and I guess the odds started to catch up with me. One of the wheaties is a very abused 1909 VDB, too bad, as it has full lines in the wheat ears. The merc is my 64th silver of the...

Got out this morning to a couple of new sites, but they were duds. Whenever I get in slump I head to Old Faithful, which always gives up silvers, and I was lucky enough to pull a trio today. I'm just dreading the day this site stops producing, but at least today, the silvers were no match for...

Was planning to hunt all morning then sit back with a cold one and watch the Phillies make the playoffs for the 4th straight season, but only got about an hour in before the rain hit >:\ :bangahead01:. I don't know how much rain these machines can take, but I never end up risking it. Did score a...

I followed up on a lost and found ad regarding a platinum engagement ring. Turns out the owner threw it, and wasn't really sure how far or in what direction. I hunted for it for 3.5 hours yesterday in the heat with no luck, even passing up silver signals as I was only looking for surface low...

I'm considering the X-1, and have a couple of questions. First, my understanding from the website is that this is not a do it yourself project, either you have to buy a second upper shaft with the switch mounted, or send in your upper shaft for mounting. Is this correct? If correct, this means...

Got out for a quick lunchtime hunt today at a close by park that has given up goodies in the past, and managed to pull a somewhat abused 1937D Q and a pair of wheaties. One of the sweetest sounds in the universe is that of the E-Trac hitting silver :smitten:

Got out to a spot that has good to me in the past, that I usually only hunt after a good rain, as all the targets are deep. Last night's rain only got the top inch or two wet, but I managed to pull a trio of silver dimes and a 1846 large cent with a hole. Usually the coins coming out of here are...

Haven't been able to get out all week, but today went back to a park where an hour of random swinging down the trails netted a couple of shallow silvers including a nice SLQ. Figuring the trails had never been detected, today I decided to carefully grid along them, and after about 3 hours, had...

After a week of not much hunting except in the tot lots due to the heat and rock hard ground, finally was able to get across the finish line with my 50th silver of the year. I'm catching up Angel :poke: Looks like a 1755 Fernando VI Spanish reale in decent shape :happydance01:. This would be my...

Got out this morning before the heat and work, and had a mix of interesting finds. First target of the day rang way up in the upper right of the E-Trac where they say the silver dollars live (which in my experience is where copper pipe fittings live :mad:), but I dig 'em anyway, and this one...

Got out yesterday for a few hours, and was pretty much skunked. One useless copper that I've ID'd as possibly a classic head (1808-1818), but it is so useless nothing would show up on a scan without it being wet (and I don't want to put a wet coin on my scanner). Another couple of hours this...

Got out after dinner and pulled a few silver dimes, a few wheats, and a few bucks in clad. Glad the cooler weather is finally here.

Took the day off and went to the beach, hoping to score some gold. Struck out in that dept, but pulled this silver quarter at 2 inches in the dry sand. :happydance01: Go figure. Have no clue how it got there. Also pulled another silver out of the Chester County dirt last night. I don't want...
