Hi, all:
Hit an athletic field in my town that is next to a hundred year old school. The field used to be the Senior High School football field. Now it's used for our town soccor program. I've gridded it off and hunted it twice with other detectors. The last time was with an F 75, which many believe (me included) is a good nickle machine. I'm finding my "Vision" (I have one of the original units) likes nickles even more. I rehunted a strip the width of a football field by about 30 yards. Covered it thoroughly and found twelve coins. Six pennies and six nickles. One was a buffalo head nickle. The nickles were all dug between two and five inches. Also found a silver rind laying on top of the ground. I also dug a brass base from a shotgun shell at a measure seven inches. My deepest "good" target, to date. I'm getting more confident that this machine can reach the older deep coins. I was using the Coin mode with TX boost running, with RX gain set at 6. All metal and Disc. set at 85. Still haven't got any deep silver yet, but feel it's only a matter of time.
Thanks for looking and keep on diggin'
