Used the detector since 1 September, have about 20 hours on it, same battery. Finds $20.14...Silver, two rings,St Christopher Medal, 33 cents. 3 cent silver, barber dime, mercury, and Roosevelt. Found in that order,which is strange..Best dig, eight nickels in one hole.. Excluding zinc cents, Wheat's just about equal Memorials.,one thick post gold ear ring with two fair size diamonds.I saved a hot spot, I call Dan;s" tot lot" since he is new to land searching..Checked it to see if there was reason to go back, some berry nice signals...Went to the destroyed area, and discovered the major fault of the Silver. It can't find coins in thick, high grass..So, you are asking ",What the heck does this guy expect out of a point and shoot?" I always had ground stompers, 1265, 1266, and could work wild areas. I was only on short grass with the Silver, didn't think about the cross over until I started swinging in tall stuff Now to start looking at the "Big Boys" in Tesoro and Fisher..When you have a spot that was an "envelope payday" area ,and one AU/UNC 16 type 1 P quarter found, Law of Averages says more than one envelope had them, and another could be waiting...You don't take a 22 to a gun fight..AK-47 ?.....Cordially NAD
