Well.....I went down to my favorite park a couple weeks ago, and decided to dig every coin signal I received. I got there about 8 am and didn't quit until 7 pm. It was hot out....about 95 degrees and I had to detect in the shade only. Having spent 45 years in Alaska I just can't take the heat! By the end of the day I'd dug 19 quarters, 44 dimes, 10 nickels, and 285 penny's. Of the 285 penny's only 31 were pre 1982s. This was also my last day of digging zinc penny's! Now I only dig the copper penny signals.....lol I also located 2 keys and an Olds insignia. I actually took a 1/2 hour to eat lunch and visit with the homeless in the park. Unfortunately all the coins were new clad, but it was still fun and the chance was there for some silver! I was surprised that the new memorial cents were buried so deep, up to 6". I use a Whites MXT All Pro and it does well, although the soil mineralization in this area averages 72 which limits its depth. I dream of the day I can afford a Minelab E Trac!
