Went to a bunch of different places today with my Dad. Got 3 wheaties and my first Standing Liberty Quarter (1928)! I pulled a 1965 quarter from 5 inches, and then no more than 5 feet away I got a whimpy but very repeatable dime signal at 8 inches. I had to go back to my car to get my shovel because of all of the little roots in the ground. I was tired and didn't feel like making a mess of the ground. When I had popped the hole open, a lady stopped to ask my what I was finding and I said not much... just a quarter over there. She proceeded to tell me where to go instead of where I was. She did give me some good advice, but it's a good thing I keep removing dirt from the hole because when that pulled that SLQ out, I knew it wasn't a GW. This makes 10 silver for me this year already, and I'm just getting warmed up. Also today I hunted with my new Whites Vision. It definitely is going to take some time to get use to it... I can say that I did dig one old coin with it today, one of the wheaties.

Thanks guys... yeah I'm not givin' up the E-Trac that easy. The Vision is not an E-Trac killer, yet. Maybe once I figure out how to get it set up it will do much better.
 

Hey Congrat's on your first SLQ Brett. Good thing we had to leave that big park or we would have never ended up at the one where you found it. :thumbsup:
 

Great hunting Brett and looking forward to the dope on that Vision!
 

Brett your a coin and machine magnet...

Congrats
 

Way to go Brett! :thumbsup:
Seems like we're saying that a lot lately. Maybe I'll just make a macro to reply to your posts. ;D

I saw your new detector at Rons on Friday night and right away I turned a bright shade of Green, and it had nothing to do with St. Paddys day.
Looking forward to your reviews on it.

Nice job on the quarter!

My first two silver coins ever were two no-date standing liberties near each other. The next one I found was thirteen years later! lol, what luck.
