Golden Umax

[daddyflea]

I really ran my Golden Umax today and all this business about it not hunting deep enough is just pure Bull. My Son and I hunted an old Church Yard that had recently just put in new gravel over their Parking lot. I was finding Coins underneath the Gravel where the original dirt was. I had my Son check depth with his Garrett GTA 1000 and he was just barely able to pick up the signals using his Detector. I was able to ID them as Coins at that depth as well. Found around 30 Coins all but one was newer coins. We did find one Wheat Penny. We hunted an old House and my Son was trying to trade Detectors with me again after I found 8 Coins in one Hole. He is looking forward to getting to use the Golden Saber II when I get it back.

I dont know if you knew copper pennys would register as silver.But since the mint changed the material of pennys adding zinc,somewhere in the 90`s I presume a penny confusion of the alloy the year the penny was mfgd.

Both our detectors correctly Identified them regardless of Zinc or not. His Garrett is an old GTA 1000 and it still does OK with the new pennies. Now the 12" aluminum cans is another matter.

1982 the pennys were zinc mixed and pure copper is long gone
