Hey everybody!! Glad to see everyone getting out and digging the good stuff. Dave and I hit a spot today since the rain had stopped and the snow had melted. I got there before Dave since he was working on resetting his clocks this morning. I had two mercs in the pouch when he showed up. We got to hunting after visiting for a few minutes. He found a rosie quick and I popped a merc out while he was filming. He hunted a while and wasnt having much luck. I kept hearing that sound the etrac makes and I kept digging the silver. I had 7 mercs when I got a 1/46. I thought it was a merc on its side. When i broke the plug, out popped a Franklin half. I called Dave over and showed it to him. After a quick bite we got back to hunting. I got a Washington. Then he moved to another area and I got a pocket spill of a Washington and 2 more mercs. The area kinda dried up and I went over to where he was swinging. Neither of us were doing great and then I got a quarter signal. I popped out another Washington. We moved back and hunted for a while longer. I didnt get anymore but Dave was starting to get hot when I decided to give up and hit the showers. I ended up with 13 silvers, and 128 coins overall. My best yet. I love my etrac. TMAN...

Thanks, LB. I did have somewhat of a dry spell there last year. I guess I wasnt into it as I was earlier. It was nice to break the spell and get back on trac. TMAN... |

Sickness.
Tracy, that is unreal. I'm going to have to confiscate that detector of yours. Haaaand it over buddy. Yep, the whole rig. Pinpointer and all. Come on, let's have it. Bad T-man from Texas. Now go grab that Fisher-Price My First Metal Detector (pretty sure it's a Radio Shack Micronta) and clean up the trash out of that same area so that I can go back and score some silvers too. That is insane!!!
Way to go Goio I mean Tracy!
