Default 15.42 and some jewelry with my new detector

I used my White's MXT pro for the first time and had good results.

The conditions were cool 79/81 degrees. Soil was damp on top and dry 4-5 inches down. Search lasted 3 hours. I was at a local school built in 66 that ive searched a lot.

The MXT pro settings were all triangles(discrimination at 3) and in coin/jewelry mode.

Most coins were 3-5 inches down.

Pro's was a very balanced detector. Vdi easy to read and somewhat accurate.

Cons -was a little heavy. Ring vdi reading was wrong every time.

I do not know if the jewelry is real yet and the bag of coins in the rear were found in the dirt piles with my F4 I do not know what is there yet.

Looks like you found a good amount. Did you ever go back and hit that dirt pile in Clementon?

First time with the new machine produces these results for you......you are going to be deadly with it once you really get used to it. That is a killer clad haul!

Very, very nice of you. Unfortunately I moved to North Jersey from Atco back in March. Little bit of a far drive but other wise I would have taken you up on the offer. Thanks again!

Joking, a few silver dimes and war nickels. No big silver. I'm cleaning them today or tomorrow ,will post pics then. Cant read them. I think the count was 17.10 total from that fiasco.

Nice clad count there sgtwilks, it looks like the clad day I had Sunday.
I clean my clad just enough to roll them and off to the bake they go.
