I am beginning to REALLY like that town that me and my dad have been going to. The last few days have produced a "first". Besides yesterday, we have gone there 4 days in a row, and each time produced something amazing. We were going to go to a park in this town to try it, but there were tons of kids and baseball games in all of them, so we decided to ask a few houses again. We knocked on a little old mining house. Turns out it was built in 1865. I felt kind of bad, because I never let my dad use HIS E-trac! Hah! In the front we didn't get much, just a toy car, but in the back, I finally let my dad have the E-trac, but then he gave it back so he could talk to the home owner. Literally not even 5 seconds after he gave me the detector, I got a nice screaming 12-48, 11-47 about 6-7 inches deep. When I got my plug open, I tried digging a bit and hit something big so I figured it was ANOTHER pop can. I stuck the probe in and was getting the same numbers, I pulled out some dirt and put it all on my rag, and the big thing was still at the bottom of the hole, but the signal was gone. I took out my Pro-Pointer, and rubbed it over the top of my dirt pile. In one of the sweeps, I removed the dirt to reveal the face of a Franklin half. I was extremely happy!
