Got out today with my new e-trac.Decided to hit area i hammered with xlt/v3i and tdi in multiple set ups.New it would be a short day as i am a bit banged up due to taking a swan dive on a cement floor last week.Knee is still touchy.But i lasted long enough to get a wheat cent,1899 indian cent,and a 1901 v nickel that seems to be incased in iron a bit.Also got some silver plated spoon handles and a bag of brass,lead ,and copper junk.Best find was a knife that says"LESTER PIANOS LAST A LIFE TIME" on both sides all in caps.Dang v nickel is in perfect mint condition,accept for th dang iron that is fused to it :(.Oh well 1st one in years.So i can't complain.

Great lookin' indian head!
 

Nice Indian. I'm thinking about getting the etrac myself. I've hunted with a Whites for 16 years. Do you like the etrac?
 

Nice saves. It appears that the E-Trac is the new MD of choice. I may have to step in that myself on the next go around.

I love the etrac.I hate the v3i.But i did love xlt and tdi.Still have xlt.Had to trade tdi for e-trac.And traded v3i for gpx 5000
 

Congratulations on the Indian. It would seem the E-Trac is the new Bad Boy on the block.

Good job! I got my etrac this week. In the last 3 days 7 indian heads, 4 barbers, 1920 canadian 5 cent silver, and today my first ever seated dime. All at a park checked over by myself using a fisher and lots of other people. Keep using it and the silvers will start popping out. Good luck!!!

Nice finds--how deep were they.

well depth meeter on screen was half way down on most as far as indicater.Most were pretty deep
 

Nice finds
My 3 v-nickels i have found lately, are so pitted i can barely make them out.
I am a Noob V3i owner and i am thinking about switchin to the etrac.
I recently made a post asking peoples opinion about which machine they prefer, would appreciate it if you would drop by and add your $.02

The v3i seems like a good machine, but i havent been finding a whole lot, and its very complicated.
Congrats on your new E-trac, im jealous.
 

Just wait until you learn that E-trac a little bit better..I have never been as satisfied with a purchase as I have been with mine...
 

Nothing wrong with those finds, keep the knees in shape, I have had total replacement of both.
