The Silver uMax came today and was a piece of cake to assemble, so I headed to the grassy area behind the visitor's football bleachers. It didn't take long to figure out Mr Gravity and Mr Leverage will make your arm sore with the tubes extended all the way out. I shortened it by two holes and that was much easier. The first thing I found was a penny! Then I found a quarter, bunch of trash, another penny and another quarter. I used the crisscross method and that really zeroed in on the location, plus I found when I first pull the plug out of the ground, I'd lay it off to the side and scan the clump and the hole to see where the signal was coming from - works great. Every time I decided to dig, I found something.
Here's a picture of what I found in about 45 minutes, and there was a bunch pieces of pop cans that I threw in the trash barrel. To me, what I found isn't important but rather the fact the first time out I was able to detect, dig, and then find! We have several parks here in town that's probably just loaded with treasures out there waiting to be found. The bottom thing in the picture I found near the neighbor's driveway, I also found the city water shutoff valve that the Bounty Hunter I had home the other day couldn't.

I like seeing those pictures of finds.
