Another day and more deep silver from the dime field

[phinbolt]

Hit the park after work and had another nice afternoon of dirtfishing. Wow two days in a row with multiple silver it started out slow but heated up in the last hour, at first it was all clad and a co-worker that has only been metal detecting for about a year joined me. He bought a BH a year ago after seeing all the cool stuff I was finding. He really didn't get hooked till this year when he found his first merc and a small silver ring. He has been doing some coin shooting in the mornings before work and found a really nice 1911D penny today in the same area we were working on. Anyway he hunted with me for about an hour or so and found another wheat penny, after he left I started cherry picking a little more looking for that deep silver target. I knew if they were there the DeLeon would find them and sure enough there it was silver at 9" after pulling a plug and a short search of a deep hole there it was a little worn 1947 rosie. A few targets later and a couple of wheat's both 1941's there it was again silver at 9" once again the plug was out and the search was on after a few handfuls of dirt over the coil the DeLeon screamed out this time I could see the familiar torch of a mercury dime I did not know what year till I got it home and cleaned the dirt off it that it is a very nice 1943D. Thanks for reading and as promised along with the new silver here is a picture of the 1937 dime from Tuesdays hunt.<img src="http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq154/phinbolt/Picture087.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><img src="http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq154/phinbolt/Picture088.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">

just learning my Deleon and enjoy it, when coin shooting where do you run the discriminate level setting,and how high with the sensitivity? i get a lot of break up or chatter if i set the sens above 5 or 6, is that your findings also? thanks for any advise otie

I don't have that problem I run mine at minimum discrimination and sensitivity about 9 or ten threshold half to 3\4 the ground here is pretty good not a lot of mineralization. Does it chatter in all locations that you have hunted?

when i turn on my machine i do what tesoro said , start in all metal adjust threshold to a slight hum 10 oclock. run discriminate on min, then turn sensitivity up to 5 or 6 and thats where i stay. i noticed i would get the chatter when i did air test, disc and threshold at the same settings but anything above 5 or 6 on the sensitivity and it will chatter, thats why i run at these settings, am i wrong? should i try to go higher? any advice would be great thanks otie
