Just put a video on my youtube "coin spader" using the Etrac,[youtu.be] found a coin on my bucket list.

Congratulations Coinsprader on the bucket lister, half cent coins are a rare find. You mentioned in the video, the ground was turned putting deeper coins near the surface. That's great! That hunted out park should keep on giving.

Half cent are a tough find, Especially out west. I've only seen one found here in California and that was from a park like yours not too deep, a friend dug it boy was he jumping with excitement.
The closest I've come to digging one was at a stage stop, but it turned out to be a different type coin never could figure out what it was.

Recently, Thought I had dug a half cent at an 1852-60's settlement but now it's leaning towards an early 1860's civil war token.I'll investigate it further, everything is pointing towards civil war token and they made a bunch of them back then.

Congratulations again, great finds and peaceful surroundings.

Paul

Good job. I like how you showed the "before" sound, when trying to isolate it, and narrating your thoughts on the tones/sounds, etc..... Thanx for bringing us along.

I like to do live digs on my video's now, I think the " look what I found " video's where you just see the items the person has found and not seen them digging or hearing the detector work are a little boring in my opinion. It is a little harder to do live digs but it makes a better video.

My exact thoughts also coinspader.-----If I can't see how the detector is performing & hear the response/tones---I'm not watching the video.
