Silver U Max, Indian head cent under iron lid ?

[nad]

Did all the targets, tried my back yard with the Silver. Settings, sensitivity at 6. This seems to be the best place on my unit. Discrimination at iron. Picked up two cents ,one wheat (1930's) Then got a signal ,nice tone ,and dug up a small rusty metal cap from a jar. This should have canceled out? Ran the detector over it to make the adjustment, and it was silent..However, a sharp signal.came from a totally green1883 Indian cent. Original condition would have been close to XF, now worthless.I am pickled tink that the Silver U Max can shoot around corners....Went over to a totally hunted out school yard.First hundred feet, not a sound?????? Nothing. Then got three clad quarters, one cent and a clad dime..Total finds so far.89 cents.Double that in aluminum junk.. $161.61 left to pay it off..I would like to thank you all for the advice given on the use of this detector..First time out and I knew it all.Anyone know anything about boxing.? Buster Douglas is supposed to have his training camp not that far from here...Was thinking, how many of us get a chance to go one on one?? Cordially NAD

nice machine my wife loves hers

I love mine. Got out and tried it w/4" coil that I had on my Royal Sabre and that convinced me-going to order the 5.75 coil as soon as possible. The finds next to trash were much clearer and it just made it seem like a new detector with the 4"on. I'm excited about getting the 5.75 coil and don't plan on taking it off.

There's a lot more low cost pricless fun to be had,

No nad you will pick up some rusty metal. Don't use too much discrimination. You must dig junk to get the good stuff...Z

Tin don't rust to beat Hell.. This is RUSTY and falling apart. I have been saving all the junk, including the rusty cap. Went outside, found it. Laid it out on a piece of cardboard, set Disc at IRON, waved coil over it at about 4 inches.NOTHING...Then put down Indian head cent, covered with rusty material, and waved coil over it again...BEEEP ! I figure I have a neat detector..Live in Granville , Ohio. Any one of youse dudes that want to check this out...about the 10/11 name down in phone book starting with Nad...If you have trouble pronouncing ...well here I am..Be more than happy to repeat the demo. I went out today to get more experience. Did a volleyball sand pit. Someone else worked it over/or the stuff sinks in the sand..Got $2.38, and a small silver ring..Something strange about the Silver U Max, it was hitting further in the ground than in the air. For that sand pile, really not deep enough..Will try and finish the other half tomorrow. Am getting nickels,which brings up an interesting comment. I used a $5.00 gold piece in the ground to gauge my discrimination point. Then took a large ,either 14/18 K gold ring and found it strikes out much lower than the 2006 gold piece.. I read the post on masking..According to that, what happened was not supposed to happen, that's why the invite. It was all the positive comments on this site that prompted me to buy this locator...Couple more fun days and I might give it a name..Cordially NAD

Sorry, wasn't thinking..A common trait at 70. TIN the metal does not rust and was used to line "tin" cans... Tin, the steel, used for bottle caps/toys etc is subject to rusting.It cancels out at Iron on the Silver U Max...Jab had mentioned the staple, to me in an e mail some time ago, as being able to mask coins..I am going to have to experiment with iron masking items and see what this puppy can do..First function is coin sniping around old houses...I may have to buy a deeper unit for relic hunting and the 1920 football field splattered over a bunch of acres..Back to reading everything you characters say about each and every detector,Nad

I believe ya, just asking. Sometimes Iron will signal in the ground (halo), but is ignored once its out of the gorund.

I've found stuff in piles mixed with Iron.... litteraly in layers.

I've also seen stuff nulled out between between Iron.....

You're one of the smartest guys I ever knew and this website will make you smarter yet. Congrats on the Silver. I haven't been going out much, ground is really dry here in Jersey. Jabbo (Dave)

Sent you an e mail not that long ago..Am really having fun with this Silver..It is a lot more detector than most people realize..Trying all sorts of situations.Went back to the sand pile.Got a faint signal, turned Sensitivity way up, and wadda yas knows,,,a very strong signal..Picked up another 78 cents, a small silver plated crucifix, and a Sterling Silver St Chris medal.The sand is deep, and irregular. Had thought the Silver wasn't going deep enough, so I went back over a few areas on full tilt. Clean!!!!. Darn thing just does one thing, FIND WHAT it is programmed to find...Heading out to visit a friend's house, built in the 1850's. Front yard is big enough for a baseball field, and I'll bet that many games were played there. Have permission and now think I may just know enough to be dangerous..Will drop another e mail.., When are you coming out.? I knock on doors, if too dry for lawns, then we do either water, woods or fields...No shortage of places. Picked up a three speed bike for ten....Always had coaster brakes. Scared Hell out of a lady driver when I didn't stop...Hand brakes??.I now carry a roll of TP, and have dark glasses... In reply, I need boxing lessons or advice because Buster Douglas has a training camp in the area..Am going to ask if I can do a carving of him., Will give to him IF he goes a round with me. You have to admit a lot of bragging rights possible.....Larry, aka Nad
