Part of the fun is setting goals and "keeping score," so to speak.
I am one of those who measure results. I am not anal about it, but I do keep a pin-laden wall map, sites in rotation and all of that mumbo-jumbo.
I still have fun, but I have an idea of what Im about at the same time. Different strokes, as they say.
Thanks for the input, friend.

Here you go Ron And Mr beard! You guys are hilarious my first year back in detecting and I have 5000 coins in 6 months 14 rings and I do think this will prove you both wrong....
Glad you guys are so supportive...

Ok so you did get on White's site, I admit I was wrong, about that. But I didn't see any older coins....just clad.
So where is your silver????
4 silver coins is nothing when you can get 5000 clad coins found in parks in a large city with many OLD parks. That DFX should be pulling the silver out with no problem.
My cheaper M6,since the first of February, has pulled over 30 silver coins out of many large city parks that I have hunted for years and years , and also found 10 rings from less than 30 hunts this year.
That is over 30 silver coins in less than 30 hunts.....
The price of silver is over 12 dollars an ounce...what is the price of clad an ounce??
Since you love to crunch numbers, could you figure out my silver to hunt ratio, per cent.... and your silver to hunt ratio, per cent??

[quote Ron from Michigan]Mr Beard,my average on silver coins is about one on every other hunt.We all use statistics I usually find a 9 to 1 ratio for wheat's to a silver coin.I have also found the signals not to be a lot stronger on silver quarters compared with dimes and silver just requires a slower pace.I remember there was some gal in the mid seventies that used a Compass 94B her average monthly find was incredible.I'm not a clad hunter, and don't look in couches for pocket change,don't search through the garbage for garbage for soda cans,won't search a tot lot for some kids lost clad.Bottom line I like searching for older coins and this also require searching parks that have been worked over by clad pickers,which I guess this does make finding silver and gold a little easier[/quote]
Ron,
I have only been out less than 30 times, this year, but have found over 30 silver coins and about a dozen wheat pennies and half a dozen older nickels( pre 1950).Also I have found 10 rings also. This is from the first of Feb, I got my M6 in late January.
I have lots of parks in my area and there are lots of them that are older (silver era) parks. Gregg has stated he has many parks that are older and lots of them in his area.. His detector should be pulling them out at least every other hunt, with over 5000 coins, and over 65 hunts, he can't seem to get any silver??????
Seems to me, there is some kind of problem, why he doesn't find older coins.
Location??? no, there should be silver in the large city older parks he hunts....
Detector??? no, The DFX is a great machine and can find older coins..just read all the old coin finds from DFX users.......

Glad you were able to admit you were wrong! Here goes the strange part...I found the 4 silver coins within the first few months of hunting and nothing since...I thought that was odd...Also the rings I found came in bunches...Do you ever think (I have no clue) that somehow the computer in the detector may somehow focus on certain signals? ( I mean almost like forgetting the rest) The reason I ask is have you ever gone on a run like my detector does...once 16 dimes in a row, or just a certain coin...once I did like 30 pennies in a row. Has it ever made you wonder? My fingers are sore from digging so it is not lack of effort I got out 5 times this week and found close to 400 coins...I am puzzled but I notice even with playing with pag and ac sens. depth still a concern....
I did some air tests and the 5.3 which I am boxing tonight could not pick up past 3.0!
will be shipped back to White's on Monday...
The stock coil seemed fairly accurate from 6.0 and broken in the 7.0 and above area. I know these were just air tests....but the 5.3 coil I am sure has something wrong....no clue what though....

Gregg,the problem could be your program your using you may want to check with Monte.I used a lot of different programs on the XLT'S I've used and owned and never did get very good depth.The CZs I used got good depth and was hot on silver coins.At present I use a Minelab XS Sovereign today I pulled a 1920 wheat out at about 7-8 inches using the Tornado 800 a 7 1/4 inch coil.Last couple of hunts I've recovered at least a dozen of wheat's in the 1920s and 1930s.The Minelab 1s hot on nickles 1916 1919 Buffalo's last week,but the 1940s silver coins recovered from this park doesn't reflect the wheat's,which there should be much older silver coins I'm passing by.
I just think it is odd I am also popping wheat pennies but not silver....guess that shows there are still some in circulation, even though I know some of them have been in ground a long time...Monte not a big supporter of dfx...but I am hoping the coil is a big part of the reason will see. My arms are sore now too but the stock coil! I really like the weight of the small coil...but lately not the depth!:angry: Thanks for the tips...

Gregg,
I really am trying to help you, with suggestions on trying to get more silver. [size=medium]I am sorry about our clashes on the other forums and on here. I appoligize very deeply. [/size]:blush:
I don't think the detector would read a clad dime and not a silver one...Same with quarters.. or just read a newer nickle and not a older one..... but hey, you did get a coil that went bad... could be a chance on the detector. I have heard some stories about Kellyco where they sell some returned items.....but you know how posts and posters on some of these forums are.....
.. I have bought a few accessories from them and they work fine.
3 items you need to go detecting....1. a location,2. a detector and 3.a user.
1. You live in a large city that has been there a while, and has parks that were in use in the 40's, 50's and 60's.. and probably even before that.. And I truly believe that there is no such thing as a hunted out location. The coins are there.
There is a big park here that was in use as a recreation area in the late 1890's and the city made it into a park in the 1920's. When I started detecting with my first detector, the guy that sold me it said I should try parks to get coins. I asked where he hunted and he told me this particular park, and he showed me a few coins that he found in 3 or 4 hunts there. He said this park was all hunted out, and there was nothing left. Well in March of this year is when I found that 1875 half and a 1914 quarter..... in this hunted out park.
2. detector..... most any decent brand name will find coins.You have the best White's makes.With the hunts you go on you should have lots more silver.
If you know someone that has a detector in your area and they will let you borrow it for a couple or 3 hunts or ask if they can hunt with you, and trade detectors for the hunts.....JUST to go out and hunt for silver only...( yes I know it will briefly mess up your coin goal, but if your detector isn't working correctly, well... a good working detector will get the coins for you in no time).You already should know a few areas that have given you older coins....go there.You probably have covered it with your DFX, hunt the area with another detector.. If you find deeper coins (silver)..and you also brought your DFX...see if the DFX reads the coin.................could be you have a defective DFX.
3. user.....you are finding lots of coins......pennies, nickles, dimes, quarters.. you are kickin butt in that department. you set, reset, try adjusting any and all combinations in all different ways.Even trying different coils on it.I don't think it is user error.
And again I am sorry about our past clashes.

Too Funny you Guys!!
My gold ring to square tab and clad count is well.. you don't wanna know and I don't keep those statistics. Stil in all a gold ring for every 4-5 hours wading on average isn't too bad! Clad and tabs and bottlecaps... boy I'm rich!

Got out to the park for about an hours hunt with the old Sovereign 800 coil..A 1894 IH,1944 Dime,1911 Wheat

Ron,
The 1894 IH is worth at least $4.00, the 1944 dime at least $1.50, and the 1911 penny at least $.80.....and that raises YOUR per coin value, on that hunt.... quite a bit.

You Guys want to know something---DFX Gregg is having a ball finding his clads.I also find A lot of Clads and all of my detectors are payoff with the CLADS,,,, The FUN is priceless. You GO DFX GREGGYES I FIND A LOT OF RINGS ETC>>www,firstontop.com I am going CLAD HUNTING FRIDAY so that I can have as much fun as DFX GREGG.
YES I FIND A LOT OF RINGS ETC>>www,firstontop.com I am going CLAD HUNTING FRIDAY so that I can have as much fun as DFX GREGG.The very first time out at the beach, I turned on the MD, started sweeping and beep, a strong signal right up close to the surface. Just under a sprinkle of sand, I found a goldfingershiner with zircons on it. Now I guess you can't get any luckier than that! My girlfriend was with me and since then, she always asks me if I found more rings...
I revisited the same site 3 times and has resulted in being the best area for findings. As for the empty lots, I've been trying to tell everyone to hit old baseball parks where there once stood grandstands, but no one has listened to me or gotten back to me with their findings.
Here in Italy, all the places I've done so far away from the beaches were always full of dumped garbage, even motorbike handlebars, large paint cans, tonnes of construction material, etc. Getting a bit off topic, did anyone ever explore old wells, like with a strong magnet for example? That's it for now, or it'll get too boring. Bye.
