Went out today and hit two different spots that I had hit numerous times last year with my AT and at least once this year with my Etrac. I figure now that I have over 100 hours on my Etrac im starting to get a better idea of what it is telling me so I have been reading online and watching some utube videos to see what im missing . The one thing I keep coming across is using TTF on an open screen and letting your ears and brain be your disc pattern . Well I had two spots that were loaded with nails and general iron so I figured I would take a day and see what treasures it held mixed in the junk . I see now, for me at least this will be a method I will use after I have picked a spot over pretty good and have most of the obvious targets gone . I don't think I can stand the constant chatter and concentration this method requires on a regular basis . That being said if you can stand the chatter OMG what a way to find stuff you cant hear any other way . I only made it over about half of the avalible area before I had enough ,but in the 5 hrs I was pretty impressed by what I found . On each target that I dug at the old church I switched back to my normal pattern (slightly modified Andy S pattern) and tried to see if I could hear it well enough that I would have dug it with my normal settings . With only one exception of a wheat that I would have dug ,all the rest of the targets were stuff I would have passed over .
Not sure exactly if the LC is a Coronet or a Braided Hair(any input is appreciated) and I cant get the back of the IH clean enough to tell if its a 1909-S . You can see the rust stains on the Barber from the three nails that were on top of it , but I knew it was there .
Most of the clad and the laser came from a trashy park that had a building on it that was burned down and bulldozed effectively spreading about 5000 nails all over the area the size of a football field . Oh goody . And all the good stuff came from the church that produced my 1870 Canadian silver 5 cent piece last year .
