Sure was cold and windy this afternoon. Got out for 1 hour before my gloved fingers started hurting.
Found another schoolyard I haven't hit yet. Took out a vintage Garrett S-4 VLF/TR Groundhog.
Sure missed those old non motion detectors, this thing really talks to you as to what's in the ground, just like I am used to....
Only drawback with this unit, it doesn't discriminate below bottle cap. Only has a two position disc. toggle switch. So it rejects most modern Ca clad except for the Loons and Toons.
Pleasantly surprised that you can tell a coin in VLF mode and switch to disc. to check. It does pick up the older clad, everything that I found was dated 1960-1980's for the most part. The quarter was a 1995 and Twoonie 2002.
So for about an hour not digging a lot of trash, came up with about $2.50, Fruit of the Loom badge, some other small trinkets and a Klein tools wrench (new cost $12.00).
Nice little unit the S-4 is. Now just to get my Gold hunter Groundhog ADS functioning before the ground freezes over.......
