Ok guys I finally got out with new E-Trac, I lucked out on getting permission for my first hunt in an 1800's yard (cool story in permission part of forum, check it out) Anyway I just wanted to check out and try to learn the tones-whistles I didn't expect to find anything. I turned on and started swinging (I didn't even go into the menu, hoping to get some good tips on this) using the standard dig high tones and repeatable signals, anyway 3ft from where I started I got a nice loud high tone, popped the plug and found nice old big brass hinge but I noticed real cool engravings on it, put it in bag to take home and clean better. happy that I found anything old started swinging again, another nice tone bout 2 ft from last plug and was a spill of 1960's nickels just clad buts cool, a foot away, another nice tone, old brass bell, anyway again and again nice tones old buckle, more clad, copper pocket watch, 1950's Birmingham bus token, then I get a tone that was iffy but repeatable, deep plug then deeper (deeper than my garrett carrot) saw edge of round, pulled out an "1898 INDIAN CENT"!!! my first!! Anyway I've only dug bout 30% of this yard (slow machine) and I have a lot more new permission to learn the E-TRAC should be fun. thanks for looking, gona try and load pics hasn't been doing well so bear with me while I try to get you pics
