Hit one curb strip tonight,,half the length of the block..Etrac with 6x8 is just incredible on the strips.The half was about 8 inches down and gave a 12-47,3-47,,had me a little confused with all the bouncing around the numbers did,,but it sounded good and the depth meter was close to being pegged,so I dug.All in all it was a good night.

I dug a walker a few months with my E Trac that read odd also. It was crusted bad. I got most but not all off of it. It was only about 4" deep

Nice walker half. And even more fun to have to catch that baby at 8" deep :)
 
Beautiful Finds there Woody! You know about that bouncing signal? Like Pan4au also mentioned on a Walker half? Happened to me too on one I found, not what a guy could 'call' a nice half at all, but enough to dig...its bothered me...Maybe they are jogging down in there?:laughing:
 
Boy you ain't lying, Those curb strips have been good to you. That Walker is in tremendous shape. Think I'll order me a 8x6 for the Etrac. I hate to spend more money being I have an Equinox pre-ordered, if there as good as they say they are the Etrac will become a dust collector. Could be March or better before we see one though, and if we have another mild winter I will have alot of swing time. Oh well, things to ponder Huh? Good luck Mark

I usto not like the Etrac very much,but it has to be there to find it..that 6x8 might never come off,it’s deep and light

Thanks Mud,yea I would have dug it regardless just from the sound,but the numbers were so loose it looked like junk on the v3i

Great job on a very nice half. I love hunting curb strips...and an FBS machine with 6x8 SEF is an excellent tool for the job...
