Thanks Uncle Willy!!!!!

I was reading some posts and found one where you
told a newcomer ( like me ) to mark an area off and
really scan it... I grabed the ACE250 ( (9x12 coil)
and went to the local tot lot at the park 5 minute drive
Spent 1 minute putting in the wooden golf tees i brought
marked off a 4 ft x 4 ft area

scanned about 15 minutes REAL carefull Even went at
it from a differnt direction...


6 coins ( pennies and a dime ) and ANOTHER
Britanny Spears token ( is she still IN??)

any way the point is i hit this same spot every time
I go there just not in the right way !!! Never would have found
this stuff without the tip..............
Got back home total time a bit less than 1/2 hr
Thanks again

Yeah you can be surprised how much stuff is in a small area if you cover it all instead of just wildly scanning over it. I wrote an article years ago about scanning a given area north to south, east to west, and diagonally and how much one could pull out of an area scanning like that. Since the average coin will fit into one-square inch and you grid off and hunt a square ten feet by ten feet - there are 14,400 square inches in that square or 14,400 potential targets. But your signal at depth ( not the size of your coil ) which is only covering an area the size of a quarter or half dollar has to hit every one of those square inches or most of them. People would be amazed at how many coins are left untouched even though they think they are really covering the area. That's why no area is ever hunted out.
