<p><strong>I live in a very historic area.</strong> I had permission to hunt woods around a lake that was active from about the 1820's to the 1960's. Though I assumed it had been hunted before, I knew there had to be old coins in the area. I hunted it (with my "other" detector) on 6 or 7 trips out, without finding a single "good" target. I had been having success for 20 years, but the targets just seemed to be disappearing. These woods should have targets that I just wasn't finding.</p> <p>I finally decided I just had to have an E-TRAC if I was going to continue to have the success I used to have with other detectors.</p>[split] <p>My second day out with my new E-TRAC was back to the woods. I was now going to find out if it was really empty, if it was just me, or if it was the detector!</p> <p>I had been in the woods swinging for about 15 minutes when I got a good solid 12/45 reading at about nine inches. I was really hoping it might be a Merc, or even better, a Barber dime. Nope, I just couldn't believe it! It was an 1833 Capped Bust dime. Five minutes after that, a 12/42-44 signal. It was a 1909 Wheat. (Not an "S" or "VDB") just a 1909 but I'll take it anyway! lol</p> <p>Then...within the next half hour or so, another 12/45 signal. I was dieing...could it be another Capped Bust?</p> <p>No, lol...it was only a 1913 Barber. I had become spoiled already!</p> <p>The second trip back to these woods produced a 1916 Merc! (No, it wasn't a "D") but the same day, an 1874 Indian.</p> <p>Five very nice coins in two trips out in an area that had produced not even one coin before using an E-TRAC!</p> <p>I have posted about 20 videos on youtube of successful hunts I have had with the E-TRAC. Here is a link to the one where I found the capped bust dime: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPc7yB8kaWQ</p> <p>Thank you for turning back the clock to the time when we found silver everywhere! It has become a whole new game!</p>
