Thank you all ...

I agree Ed, the place is a BUTTon hole ... 14 1500`s - 1800`s coins, to 140 buttons so far.
i finally got the etrac to where i feel i am doing well. but as you said even a small adjustment could gain or loose targets. so its scary to change settings when you think you have it tuned to your hunting spot or needs. i am sure i could tweek it a bit more and do a bit better. and that will come in time as i learn more about the Etrac.
i have played with it in the past a few times and it went dead completely, i might as well have been swinging a broom stick in the woods. right now i am only running in TTF open screen and i can usually get my sens up to 24 without beeping on the boots. ... i know having the sens up that high widens the search area and will hit on localized iron as well, but i have also noticed that you loose some seriouse depth and targets running in auto or under 20 sens ... i have tested it many times switching between auto or below 20 as opposed to manual or over 20.
if i get a decent signal with an iron signal i will often play with the sens to check the target and see what range or setting hits it better.
i also think threshold has a lot to do with picking out the smaller targets or masking targets, and i will be testing that out more a bit later.

and yes, it is a mess sometimes out there in the woods. i am literally on my hands and knees swinging the detector horizontally in front of me a lot of the time.
under palms and other overgrowth un able to even stand for an hour or more sometimes. it kills my back and hips.
but, ..... that`s where the good stuff likes to hide ...

I'm with Ray

I'd take that button over most coins any day!

Ty MRH, i love the buttons as well, especially the military ones.
but i nice early copper or silver is always a welcome find as well .
hopefully 2015 evens out the pile a bit for me ...

Bones ...

not a bad idea Joe. i should start by grabbing the plug i pulled the 14k GF ring from, it was missing the stone, might be in the plug ....
should bucket the plug home and sift it ....
