Whites MXT but missing my Etrac
Me and my Buddy Treasurehound went out to our ususal spot today, this area is large and it seems everytime we find a spot, everything is concentrated together, I suppose just campsites we are lucky to find, always camp lead in them it seems, I went back to the spot I had dug the pict. frame the other day and dug another bullet and alot of melted lead in the same spot, within a 3 yard circle, I kept getting a null on the Etrac in one spot, no beeb, just a null, but a large null, anywhere else I wouldve let it go, but being within a yard of the lead, and this area is very clean of trash, well besides early shotgun hulls, just ask Randy about that :laughing7:, I decided to dig, after digging around a large downed cedar tree for a little bit, I noticed what appeared to be a rock under it, so of course what do you do to remove rocks, I took my trusty shovel and wacked it, and very quick I could tell that was no rock sound, after a bit of prying, I managed to pull it out, it appears to be a iron cap gun, it has writing on grip, and is VERY heavy for a toy, maybe some of you have seen one of these and can tell me more about it. I did manage to pull the small key from the same area, and a larger key, some bullets, and the cuff button about 100 yards away at another camp site, I can't say enough for me Etrac, and anyone that has one, if your hunting a clean site, try the smooth option for sound, you might get a beeb in normal, but it will blow your ears out with smooth, great for relics.

Nice digs!I have dug the same one and it is a toy,but an early one!!Stopped my heart too! :thumbsup:
 

Nice lead and Eagle!!! Hope the boot pistol is real but the early toy ones are as heavy as the real ones. Good hunting, Quindy.

Niece's wedding was the reason. However, the wedding was conducted at a pre CW home owned by her uncle near the French broad River and I may go back and detect sometime. HH, Quindy.
 

Nice digs. Those keys are great. :thumbsup:
 

Awesome finds. Put the gun through electrolysis.

As always, I had a great time hunting with you. You had a fantastic day with a wide variety of finds. Too bad the heat finally did us in. That pistol was an awesome find. I think we are finally figuring out where the camps were in there and what to look for.
 

cool finds. The bullets and eagle is nice but the pistol is sweet. Wtg :icon_thumright:
