I still have a ways to go on learning this machine, but I can't say enough about how deep it will go. I also haven't learned enough on decipering the different tones or using all the Advanced Options yet, so the machine was being used at the factory preset settings. I was digging some big Iron at 10-12", and majority of my finds were in the 4-7" range. That's fantastic for the Iron and Mineralization where I was hunting. Found some of the items at the old chimney site (elephant cufflink with green stone eyeball, buttons and Iron pcs.), first silver (1950 Washington, Saint Christophers pendant and a 1914 Barber Dime) out of my own yard that I've hunted 100's of times with my White's Spectrum. My house was built in 1905, and is trashy, trashy and TRASHY (IRON, HOT ROCKS and saturated in RUSTY NAILS!! The other items were found at a fishing lake where there used to be a old house. Found the Flat Face "BEST" button around 4-1/2" at this site. Hope you enjoy the pictures and I would appreciate some suggestions for some advanced settings for highly Mineralized and Iron infested yards. Thanks Deh59
 
Man!!!!!! If those are your first finds your off to a great start of a long career in good finds with the Minelab. HH and Good Luck although you won't need it with your machine.

One thing I have found works well in high trash areas is turn down the sensativity to 8-14 some where in that range and you will still get targets fairly deep with out hearing all the chatter...and hopefully you have a smaller coil like tha minelab 7.5 inch.
