The E-TRAC Fulfils Dreams

02/21/16

<p><strong>I have learned that once you get to know your Minelab product, if the coin you desire is there, the detector will find it.</strong> Last year was a great year and I was able to scratch off many once in a lifetime coins from my list.</p> <p>I knew this year would be harder as all the pounded out parks were then re-pounded by me and my E-TRAC picking out the one or two silvers that others missed by either an inferior detector or lack of knowledge.</p> [split] <p>One of the coins that has eluded me is the Standing Liberty quarter. Ironically, I have found two Barber quarters which were made before the SLQ. For reasons still unknown, I decided to go to the 2nd oldest park in my area that has been hit by every detector club on Earth and maybe some from outer space. Needless to say, I have never pulled a silver from there but am always able to score a few wheats.</p> <p>The day started off with the finds coming left and right, wheats, a silver ring and some other great finds. I was heading to the back of the park and decided to detect my way back instead of just walking back there which turned out to be the best idea ever.</p> <p>About half way through the park along a creek bank I got a perfect quarter signal 11-47 on the E-TRAC and blew my earphones clean off my head. It was coming in at 7" deep but in Florida even modern coins sink fast in the loose sandy soil.</p> <p>Once my pinpointer said I had located the target, I was slowly working the soil away when out popped a shinny quarter. I immediately saw the eagle and for some reason thought it was another Barber. When I turned it over and saw the Standing Liberty I was shaking so bad I almost passed out.</p> <p>Minelab has a reputation as one of the best detectors made in the world and in my book, there is just no equal. Is this a success story? It may not be a chest of gold or a cache of silvers, but to this veteran treasure hunter, a dream was fulfilled and to me that spells success.</p>
