Its been awhile.................:detecting:

[nugget71]

Well its been nearly 4 months since my son was born and finally I got some time to head out yesterday afternoon for about an hour and a half. Now I don't normally show the junk I find but this time I added it to the picture. I use the stock coil for coin shooting but just wanted to get out the door so it was the elliptical coil I ended up with. Last time I used the 70 was in winter on a local gold field so the elliptical coil has been on since then. As you can see I found $21.60c and was pretty happy with that. For the first hour I had only found 55c and was beginning to wonder if I had lost my touch or if someone else had beaten me to the area but in the last 30 Min's I was on fire and managed to pick up the rest of the coin. I tell you what I really did forget how much fun this hobby really is and reading all the posts on here got the juices goin again so thanks to everyone. PS (Something that got me a few times was the numbe 34 which usually is junk but on two occassions I dug up $1 coins so I will be looking into this some more next time.............. I will be digging up 34s from now on I guess.)
Cheers!

Congratulations on the baby. You will find this to be a wonderfully compatible hobby when it comes to having kids. unlike a lot of hobbies, there's no mess, no setting up or setting aside a work area and you can go out and do it whenever you get some 'spare time'! Not many hobbies you can do that with. I've got a couple that I'm interested in but are staying on the back burner till the kids grow up.
You may be interested to know, that the reason that a $1 coin comes in at 34, is because it's on edge. the same applies to pretty much all coins. It is accompanied by a shorter signal. If the coin is at 90 degrees to you when you pass the coil over it, you probably won't hear it, so it pays to investigate weak but consistent signals. Also a good reason to detect at different angles.

Much appreciated! For those that asked where the loot was found it was at a park near a beach. Good luck everyone and happy hunting whatever your fetish is.
Cheers!
