Wow Paul! What a story!!! Beautiful finds, especially that barber dime! :shocked04:

The X-1 is great, isn't it? And we have all forgotten to flip the switch back to the coil at least one time lol

Wow Paul, what a great day. thumbsup01 thumbsup01 Yep that probe is just as sweet as the E Trac itself :smitten: Can't live without it. And if you use it properly, you will never scratch another coin again. :yes: As for leaving the switch on? rofl rofl You will do that more than once, trust me. I hate it when mine hits a branch in the woods, and I don't figure it out until I say (everytime) man, this machine is falsing alot today I hate leaving it on :bangahead01: :bangahead01: lol You did real nice and found some great coins. Congrats.
