I recieved my new ETrac at the beginning of June. Went to a park, turned on the machine, and on my first swing picked up this for my efforts. It was about 4-5 inches down. I had my granddaughter with me so she got bored with her detector within an hour. Got a few more coins (no silver) to go along with the gold.

I'm pretty sure the stamp on the back reads 999g. Anyone have a clue to what this means ?

It could be .999 fine gold which I believe is 24K. If it is, it will be VERY soft. Or it could be an item ID number.

It's bent up enough that it could be just under 24K gold.   You might want to take that piece to a jeweler.

Cant remember what the numbers were. Brand new machine, squawking on first swing, keeping an eye on my granddaughter,,,,,,,,,,,
The metal is very soft.....it was bent up more when I found it, I straightened it up a little. I'm pretty sure it high content gold.
I've been out three other times since recieving the ETrac. Just to a local park to get to learn the maching. I dug approx 80 coins mostly clad, 1 silver rosie, and a couple other pieces of costume jewerly. It's been so hot here lately that I havnt been out in a couple of weeks but I'll be back out there soon........... Grin
Mine was on backorder from KellyCo for over 30 days. Their advertisement stated "in stock" when I ordered. The next day I recieved an email that it was on backorder and I should have it within a couple of weeks. After 4 weeks and many calls and email, it finally shipped. Hope you have better luck !!!! It's a great machine right out of the box. I suggest you read all the forums, get Andy Sabichs book on the Explorer and ETrac, read the manual thourghly and have fun.........
