Etrac strikes paydirt

Went to a well used beach further north,and left the Xtera at home,the photo shows the results of wading in me gumbies at the low water mark.The ring is 18kt and verified the diamond as soon as I got home,she's a goodie!Also around $11 in coins....The spoon?well what can I say.....

Learning to drive the Etrac

Oh boy,slowly getting the knack of the new machine,old age is no help either.So easy just to pick up the Xterra instead,but I have to remember it took me 6 months to master it.
   The beach is a bit harder at the moment but the tide is getting more favourable as the week goes on

the photo shows a few bits found at either the beach and a  local park,nothing to startling 3 rings they all look nice and sparkling but alas cheap and nasty,funny about the gas welding tip found at the park around 6" deep.Thanks for your comments regards the Etrac.

Finally got an Etrac

Well I saved up all those coins that I have found and splashed out and bought an Etrac.We were in Aussie last week on holiday and checked out a MD shop in Gympie,they just happened to have one in stock,I gave it a whirl along Surfers coastline and found a few coins and a nice .925 silver ring.

 I am just running it in all metal mode until I learn to drive it (more complex than the xterra),had a few anxious moments coming through customs but with the rugby on and big crowds they just waved us through.Very happy with it in the wet sand which is the main reason I brought it, but it sure is going to be a long learning curve.....
