Greetings all,
I am extremely new at MDing as I purchased an AT Pro a couple of weeks ago (though I constructed a kit MDer using an AM transitor radio in the 60's).
I live in a semi-rural area in central Virginia on a property developed in the late 50's. I have found approx. 75 coins on my property and keep finding them in areas I have gone over 3 times now. Originally, I used Standard Mode, but quickly progressed to Pro Coin mode (which is far superior) and employ a PP which decreases spent time and increases success by a factor of 4+. Yesterday, among finding clad, I found a '42 washington in an area I have gone over probably five times. Other than becoming more effecient due to time spent detecting, I have, seemingly, noticed clearer signals at greater depth as the soil dries out. Has anyone else noticed this phenomena? Also, the clad coinage always appears the exact same color as the ground soil I find it in, but the 90% silver coinage always looks silver and by far cleaner. Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks for your input.
