A friend and I hunted a 1941 house yesterday and he(with his Etrac)
came across a target that was reading 25-30, 35-30 iron infested
numbers but on one corner a 12-46/47 signal would appear. And the
depth as a whole was showing 10 inches
So I checked the spot with my CTX and I got nothing. Just Iron sounds.
I did manage to get a quick hightone walking around the target a few
times but nothing I would have blinked an eye at.
And I was using the 17" Coil!!
He showed me what the Etrac was getting and having had an Etrac myself
I told him we should probably dig it but....that I would be blown away if it was silver.
Well, I dug the hole and out popped a 1943 Mercury dime, 8" deep. I couldnt believe it!
I was happy for him but was kinda bothered that my CTX with a 17" coil could
barely get a signal on that silver dime.
I Dont Get It!
Anyone have any thoughts on why this could be?
Here is a screen shot of my settings.
