Had to tune her up first. The tones were completely off. Got it real close. The key thing is to get the 4 tones on the four targets, iron, nickel, zinc, dime with a good notch width setup. I'd like to get just a smidgen more distance between the zinc and the dime but it might be hard to get it better than I do now. Then I put the cleansweep coil on it and checked the ground balance, which was way negative. Found some ground that would approximate a good average and balanced it and I was good to go.
Had a fun four hours clad hunting a nearby park. The grand total take was 8.76 in change, a couple of cheap jewelry items and one almost Yeah baby". That was a nice gold chain that had me going at first as it was a decent size chain but it felt too light in my hand. The 24KGL marking confirmed it as a "almost". But still a nice find. The chain was found hunting in all metal. I'll get a picture up later in the week.
All in all it was nice to get back out with the machine that taught me that tones rule.
