Well I am finally getting to the point where I understand some of what the MD tells me but there are so many times I wish there were someone with more experience there to help me understand what is going on. But today I found my first quarter and as is my luck I lost it. Should be able to find it when I go back. It was pretty deep so it may have been older and well it is finally nice to get something other than pennies.
I have settled on all metal default or at times cross saved to coin. So here are the things I wish someone who had experience was there as it happened.
The area is very trashy so I get tons of signals so I do not have the time to dig everything nor is it a site where I would be comfortable digging to many holes.
According to some tests I have done it seems like the more safe numbers are 14, 38 and 39 with 34 Ok when you are finding nothing. I get 19 for my gold wedding ring but so far have not tried digging that number too often as I think I have a few times and gotten aluminum. sometimes 38 also gives me copper pipe. Are there any other numbers that should peak my interest.
When you hit a spot where you get 3 or 4 or more numbers with one being say 39 do you dig? The quarter today was with something else but the tone was pretty consistent as was the number but not in every direction.
What combination of number and tone do you tend to focus in on?
What checks or types of things do you do when you are interested but uncertain? Things such as change modes or F to C things like that.
