Took a ride out to NY to see how Butch scores all his sweet coins. I must say he is a master Quattro user. I really learned from him. I was also impressed with the sites he has to hunt. They have been hit hard but still keep giving it up. The biggest lesson I learned - hunt slow for anything deeper than 3 inches. Also, don't assume that because some place was productive for someone that "they got it all". Butch had told me what Charles had found and where he found it. I thought - I'm not going to hunt that spot - I bet he gridded it with his Explorer II. Turns out he did grid the spot but that didn

Along with about 200 other oldies off that hill over the years. One of my best spots ever along that avenue. Glad you had some luck in our "hunted out" parks !!!

Oh no your son loved his DFX.
I believe thou there is also things the DFX will find that the minelab won't in different conditions. I have had hits before with my old tesero that would ID as an iffy signal on the meter of my XLT. Good finds by the way

I buried an old silver dime right off at 6 inches to start testing it, for my ground it was the first indication of a signal drop off. I was happy at the depth right off. My former detector stopped at six inches and the Quattro signal just barely gave me a hint of signal deteriation, so I started at that point to bury coins deeper by an inch at a time. I still have not found the bottom because I still am puttering with the settings. I am not shocked at a dime at 7 inches, I would say for the Quattro it wasn't breaking a sweat. I love it!:thebird:

That little bandstand will never be hunted out. I have hunted it at least 8 times, maybe more and it just keeps giving. The sandy hill on the back corner of the park though...it seems bleached clean. I gave that two solid hours the other day and went home empty handed. Thats the way that park is, some areas get played out and others just keep surfacing finds.
By the way, that is a picture of Ed's honey hole. The far slope past that tree in the distant is barber hillside, we dug a lot of barber quarters and dimes off that hill. I dug one seated. Ed dug a half reale, a nice gold ring, a pretty old large cent there too. Its a mother when the iron is wet though.
You also gotta watch your back there however. Thats where two getto freaks snuck up and attacked me from behind. You'd think the morons would have better sense than to attack a man holding a 38 inch steel relic shovel.
