<tr><td>I've taken the M6 back a few times to the black sand beach I hit a few days ago and these are the total finds. There are 238 coins including some wheat cents, a 1952 silver dime and a 1943 35% silver nickel. When I dug up older pennies and a lead toy soldier I thought I'd find more silver coins, but only the two so far. I found two junk rings. One was gold plated, but very little plating remains.</td></tr>

<tr><td>I found a cladmine in the dry sand yesterday. 26 quarters, 18 dimes, 17 nickels 16 pennies and 2 Mexican 50 centavo coins were found in an area about 40' x 50' in two hours. Why there was so much in a small area that sees other detectorists is a mystery to me. </td></tr>

<tr><td>The gold ring was found in the dry sand yesterday and the silver ring just below the high tide line at the bay this morning. To me the M6 is not as much fun to use as the X-Terra 50 or the Ace 250, but it really has a nose for metal.</td></tr>

Yes, it does find stuff in a noisy sort of way. ;)
 
...it makes a lot of <i>rude</i> noises and is a little heavier than the other two detectors I mentioned (I edited my post's wording and I certainly don't mean it's not fun to find stuff). I had to 'work' about half of those 'cladmine' coins out of the ground as many were iffy sounds and I believe not laying flat. I did have fun and plenty of exercise though, which are the two main reasons I detect.
 
Bob, When I first started with the M6, I thought it was going to drive me crazy...I was used to the mixed audio on the MXT but after about 25-30 hours, you start hearing the good and kinda missing the bad audio...like tuning in what ya want to hear and tuning out what ya don't... I slowed my swing down a little to, that helped and of course any time you use a smaller coil, that will help too...Seems like your doing great with the M6...keep it up...best to you ,

...to be one heckuva detector. I know what you mean about the audio as that's exactly what I'm finding too. :)
