Guy started last fall and isn't too bad. He raided a ballfield I sometimes hunt last week. He bagged a little over 6 bucks. Well anyway I took my Compadre in there to root out what's left. Nine dollors and some cents. Most been buryed for some time just a few new drops! Not bad. But everyone knows its still got a few bucks left. I hunted the close spots and some banks; good places for the Compadre.
 
This kind of reminds me of my old house lawn. I was renting a house that was built in the late 70s- early 80s. I went over it with my compadre when I got it. I found a few coins and other items, digging only what sounded good at the time. Awhile later I went over it and dug everything I could get a signal on. I found still more coins and a wheat penny. I then went over it with my Gold master 2 and dug still more coins. The intresting thing is that coins dug the second time and with the gold master were no deeper than those found the first time over with the Compadre. Just goes to show that no one gets it all. I suppose if you went over an area with a GPX 5000 and dug everything you may accually get everything worth getting, but that would be alot of work.
 
Be a lot of expense to (GPX 5000). :biggrin:

well most people do not really grid search they move along to fast making an actual zzzzzzz pattern and mist 50% of things in ground and the deeper it is the more likely they will be to miss something this explans why things keep getting found .
 
Yep like Kaolinwasher said. You will never get everything unless your coil passes overlap and practically nobody does this. Even doing this you might still miss some coins on edge as the signal may sound slightly broken in one direction or both.
