<p><strong>In Maine we don't have to many places to swing unless you have permission on private property.</strong> The beaches are heavily picked over, and the parks are small. However if your research methods are up to par and your ears are open you might find a place or two to find some history.</p> [split] <p>Well, a friend invited me to a woodland foundation sight he had seen while cross country skiing. We found an old car entwined in growth and a great deal of rock walls. All of these are excellent signs for hunting. Several ours into the hunt we were tired of fending off the terradactyl-sqitos, we like most thought we were skunked; the I got the high-tone that made my hunting worthwhile.</p> <p>I was climbing over a log while swinging the machine. At first I thought I just knocked the coil of the E-TRAC off the side of the log but any high-tone deserves another attempt. Sure enough a good signal but it was directly under the log. My friend and I both lifted the log swung the machine once again then dug. Three inches down I caught sight of a buckle.</p> <p>In Maine I couldn't believe it I found a civil war relic a Sword Buckle. Man do I cherish that find. Thank you E-TRAC. Since this find I have reached deep silver with a 1781 Spanish 2r, a two foot deep brass pocket watch, several more silvers, IH's and so much more. I love my E-TRAC. I know when I head out with my machine I will always come back with something good.</p>
