We have a local permission that is an absolute clad factory. The church has an enormous field (probably 2 acres) in front of it. Trash is rare and nearly every hit is a coin, which makes hunts fun. I suggested to my 9 year-old that we do a night hunt to mix it up a bit. Reluctantly he agreed.
We hit numerous coin spills. One had 3 quarters, 2 dimes and 3 pennies. My son was having fun. On our way out I of course insisted we swing until we got to the car. I got a low 80's hit on my MAX, dug and flipped the plug and we knew right away it was either a new dime or silver. Boom, 1950! Sweet! What a great boost for my son (even though I found it). This night hunt renewed his energy towards detecting.
So we came home with $3.72 in clad, plus the 1950 Rosie. All we dug for trash was two cans and two pull tabs. That's it!
Side note: The MAX continues its small target "vacuum cleaning." It hit 6 of the 8 dimes this evening. My son was running the ACE 400 so we had a few instances where we could compare signals.
Here's what I am seeing with the MAX for VDI:
Thanks and HH all.

Here's what I am seeing with the MAX for VDI:
- Copper pennies: 78 - 80
- Clad dimes: 81 - 84 (depending on how the coin is sitting in the ground)
- Clad nickels: 51-52
- Clad quarters: 85 - 86
Thanks and HH all.
