Second time out with the ID Edge.

[scubadetector]

I went out with my Fisher ID Edge for the second time today. The first time I took it out to play in the woods I found 16 wheat cents and a 1945 and a 1946 Washington quarter. Went back to the woods today and found 7 more wheat cents and an old boy scout kerchief slide BUT I did make a super nice find. My two friends and I were by lake Huron at an old park and they weren't finding anything. Not one coin with their Minelabs. One came up to me and asked me what I found. I told him two cents. He laughed UNTIL I pulled the one penny out of my shirt pocket. LOL his look was priceless!!! 1827 large cent. Second oldest coin I have ever found. Oldest is a 1572 spanish reale. Oldest wheat is a 1944 today. Oldest the last time out was a 1919.

Thanks for looking. Love this hobby!!

The Edge goes deep and is light weight, been my main detector the past 12 months. I was in a park this summer with the 10" coil and got a deep iffy weak signal bouncing from low tone to high tone. I was curious and carefully dug and saw a brass flat button (size of a quarter) still lodged in place at the bottom in the side wall. It measured 9.5" deep, that gave me great respect for this detector. I swing the coil a little fast and listen for solid coin signals down to 7" or 8". I know I pass over some really deep coins but I hate digging those iffy signals. This summer I dug about 10 King George and other large pennies 8" or less, all were diggable signals with the 8" coil.
