Met up with Mike of VT Mining, who is a friend of a friend, for a little after work hunt of Hillcrest Park. Apparently he doesn't know that metal detecting is for old people. Like me, Mike is kind of new to the Minelab E-Trac. So, it was good to talk and compare notes about the E-Trac. We both had been using White's detectors before switching to Minelabs. We both picked the Lesche digging tool and both had the Garrett Pro Pointer. I told Mike I was thinking of get a larger coil and he told me that he already had one on order. I will definitely be interested to see how well that works.
The ground at the park was dry and hard. Not a ton of targets, but enough to keep us busy. Turned over a plug with a 12-42 signal to see this gold tone ring. I knew it wasn't gold because of the signal, but it still looked a little like it.
End of the evening Mike had dug twice as many coins as I did. He also managed to find a silver Roosevelt.
