My second day out with the Max. $4.50 and first .925 with the Max. Ring was crushed flat and vdi bounced all over the place from 75-86. Decided to dig it as I had dug .38 ¢ just prior to that. Qtr, Dime, three pennies and the signal was similar. 75-87. Dug both signals... "Just because" to see what the MAX was saying to me.

Today I learned that pretty much anything strong and solid, unwavering in the 42-49 range was can slaw. 53-55 fluctuating was a modern soda can pop can tab. 50-52 was nickel. 74-78 was/could be zincoln. 80-81 DIME??? and 81-82 Copper penny??? Kind of opposite I feel. Qtrs rang from 82/84 to 85/87 for some reason the deeper ones rang more familiar mid/high 80's and the ones right on the surface either rang 82/84 or 89+. Odd. The 89+ for a surface qtr I find really easy to believe but the 82/84 for a surface qtr? Strange. Pretty much digging everything to find out whats what. Oh, Bottle top off beer bottle came in as they usually do. 86/87 directly over top but if you backed off with the nose of the coil just "sniffing" it the signal jumped from 13-86 and if I turned on the iron audio then you could hear it plain as day.

Any other MAX users wanna add their thoughts on VDI's to this?

Great post! I have nothing to add yet as I am about to head out on my 1st real outing - a possible cladfest at a popular local stadium parking lot (grass). I'll let you know what I get. A couple mini outings have revealed similar surprises as you've noted, with things ringing up generally different than my ACE. I'll report back soon!
 
Triad, Things will be different on the MAX. Not a lot for basic things like Qtrs,dimes, nickels and pennies. Sounds will be different as well. Zinc pennies I'm finding as low as 70-74 Dual tone. Coppers 81-82 along with dimes in same 80-82 area. Two qtrs at 90/91 solid. Found three "pairs" like that down 3" in cement dirt (its way to dry up here right now).

Post what ya get. I need to start posting my "junk" pile too. LOL.

I did pretty well today with the MAX. Got my first silver toe ring, hit a copper penny spill, a token, etc. Dug very little trash. My son had the 400 and the signals are so different!

Nice, Is that a shotgun head stamp I see in there too? Yes, Signals are much different than the lower level Garretts but pretty similar to the Pro and Gold. I've been using it in Coin mode with everything notched IN from 40 up. Played a bit with All Metal mode but gonna save that for when I've got a lot more moisture in the ground next spring so I can dig those deep targets. Not digging thru 10" of desert dry dirt. Really hard ground right now.

Nice first outing. Now who's gonna get the first merc or barber with the max? LOL

It is! Thanks. Too bad you didn't say silver Rosie, Merc or Barber. Tonight I hit my first silver coin with the MAX and it just so happened to be one of the coins on my bucket list (any silver Rosie). Showed up as 80/81 all day long. Was running Custom 35+, full power and the MAX killed it! I seem to be pulling a lot more dimes with the MAX than ever before.

Good times. Keep us posted on your MAX finds!

you do the same man, Keep us posted with the pics. I just have not hit an "old" spot yet. Just hitting soccer field sidelines just to get used to what its telling me is coins. Nice lil rosie there. Its been few years for a silver dime for me. Few years period for ANY silver coins. Think around 4 years.
