lots of quarters not much else

DFX-Gregg

Well-known member
well I found 23 quarters....ignored a lot of penny signals and topped $500 in clad and got my 1000th quarter for year. Also a knight...think he is a chess piece.
 
a pretty painful thought right now...after 159 of them yesterday..never thought of it as a quarter equals 25 penny digs....:rage:
 
Hey Greg congrats that is a bunch of quarters! I do have a question for youthough. You say you ignored penny digs. I guess you know the DFX very well. I am wondering does the DFX tell you it is a quarter? I guess I am wanting to know if you base this on the ID # or a readout, or even your experience?

Thank you in advance, Beale.
 
Gotta Love those Quarters..........those buy accessories when you stack um all up and count em.
 
Pennies usually come in from mid 50's to 78...quarters 83-88...yes extremely easy to tell the difference...
 
[size=large]Nice haul Gregg. Love all those quarters and how they add up. Congrats on the $500. WAY TO GO!!!!!! Not too many hobbies "pay" back like this one! Do you have that "special" something you'll get with your finds? [/size]
 
usually I run with a modified coin program and end up playing around with controls. When I am by buildings, fences, wires...I have to run my ac sens low...61-65....with pag at 2-3. When I am in a relatively trash free suburban park as I was yesterday I run the c/j program and make a few minor adjustments pushing pag to the max (4 on dfx) as long as there is an even smooth threshold...then the quarters really seem to scream out on the detector.
 
a rock tumbler....maybe a sunray probe...maybe a smaller pinpointer...mine is 18-19 inches long>automax v4....very annoying...
 
[size=large]A rock tumbler would be a great asset to your hobby. Look on the net for a good one at a good price. Larry's got a good one and he could help you out. The DX-1 is the best in my opinion for a pinpointer. Maybe buy something for your wife for all the times you were out hunting :cheekkiss:.......hint hint hint. [/size]
