Great site here and loads of decent info. I think i have been pretty darn lucky with circa $100 in recent coins, 15 or so old pennies, silver sixpence, a few rings (3) and last night a huge silver charm braclet! Anyone in Silverdale area with time to kill one day....drop us a PM. Also looking for some other coils for the etrac....or a ctx if someone has one! great hobby!

I also run an E Trac. Sounds like you have been having good success lately. How about a few pics of your best stuff. MK Edited by user Saturday, 4 May 2013 7:52:44 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
