    In this video Garrett and I find an undiscovered 1850s military camp along the Oregon Trail from an important moment in American history. This took many many hours of research to find and we are proud to save the historical record of the site.

I agree I used the Etrac for years and it’s still my favorite machine for coin hunting, the main reason I use the Nox now is because it is super light weight and I do a lot of walking at these trail sites so it makes it easier.
