Just Could Not Stay Away

[RLOH]

Last month I sold all of my detectors except on because the hobby was consuming all of my time. I sold two of the high end detectors and I fully intended to get out for a while. I ended up with one detector left, a Fisher CZ6a. I started limiting my hunting to weekends only and only hunting a half a day instead of all day. I stopped driving 80 miles and started hitting local parks again. In the mean time, I bought a super nice XL Pro. I have only had this detector a short time and I have only hunted 3 times with it and every time, I come away more amazed! I started out digging borderline hits and I quickly realized how accurate the meter is. I had a hard time finding nickles until I found that a nickle would lock onto the "N or i" of the word nickle. In 6 hours of hunting with the Pro, I have found 10 wheats, 3 silver dimes, and 2 silver war nickles. Also there were probably 60 or 70 clad coins. One of the wheats is a 1909 VDB, not an "S" though. Most of the older coins were 6 to 8 inches deep. The great thing about is I drove minutes instead of hours and metal detecting seems fun again. I now own two of the BEST detectors ever made, the Pro and CZ6a. I am a huge fan of meters and dials. In the future, I want to try one more dial detector, the Nautilus. Back to the basics for me.

Hi R.L.

Got my XL Pro at the beginning of this year. Like you, it is still continuing to impress me. Have not found "good" coins at the rate you are experiencing, However, my XL Pro has found over 2500 coins since the first of the year.

I have other very good detectors, but the XL Pro has become my favorite park and school coinshooter. I have also discovered I prefer an analog meter over a bunch of constantly changing numbers.


Keep having fun.
