Hi to all, I'm from Omaha and have been detecting off and on for a number of years. Just picked up a E-trac after having used a whites DFX and am baffled but learning. Went out on the 4th with it and was about to go home and get my Whites when I hit the biggest coin spill I've ever found. All clad dimes, nickels and pennies but better than pull tab's! 47 total in a 2ft square area and nothing deeper than three inches in an empty lot. Temp was over 100 so it was a short hunt.

I am going to a corvette rally in the black hills on the 19th with my father-in-law and hunting buddy. We both decided to leave the vette and take a truck. We plan on searching abandoned areas on the way and see if we can find our retirement cache out there. I love this hobby!

Take care and good hunting,

Dan
 
Welcome from Missouri Dan. :waving:. Nice little piles of coins there. Interesting to see what you might post after returning from the Black Hills. :shocked04:. Good hunting to ya, thumbsup01. Eric
 
Welcome from western MA. Congrats on getting yourself an Etrac. We have a lot of members here swinging that machine. Looking forward to your retirement stash post when you get back from the Black Hills.
 
Hello Dan and welcome to the forum from SE Wisconsin. The Etrac is a great machine just be patient. Good luck on your trip to the Black Hills.
 
hello Dan welcome to the forum ..
i also have the dfx (been using it for 7 years now ) its a great machine going to an e-trac is a very difficult transition i know i watched my buddy do it , it probably took him almost 6 months to get the hang of it . those two machines are like night and day but you'll get it . congrats on the coin spill and good luck in the Black hills take some pictures , glad to have you Dan .

Welcome Dan, I wonder who drops 47 coins and how. My son found a huge clad spill last week. Like someone emptied their piggy bank. :dontknow:
I hope you like it here. :waving:
 
Welcome to American Detectorist, Dan! |:cheering:

I have owned my E-Trac for a little over a year and I wouldn't trade it for anything! I absolutely love this machine!

Good luck finding your retirement cache! thumbsup01
 
Welcome aboard Dan. :clapping: Thanks for joining our group.
The more time you spend with your E-Trac... the more you will be impressed. :yes:
Best of luck on the cache.

My buddy and I figure it was a younger child playing. The area I found them appeared to be where a front yard/ driveway might have existed at some point.

One of the things I love about this hobby is contemplating the lives of those that last posessed the items I find. Sounds goofy but I feel a connection to them in some small way.
 
Really getting the hang of this E-Trac! Much easier after a couple of day's and I've been finding alot more silver than usual. Granted, there could be more to it than just the new machine. Wish they would have the FE/CO numbers posted on the machine for various targets like the DFX though.

Thanks again for all the warm welcomes and happy hunting everyone!

Dan
