I forgot what an awesome machine the Dual Field is. With the Xcal in for repairs I put a new gasket and batteries in the DF this weekend. I got in a three hour hunt Sunday morning with just some coin, dog tag and trash showing up in the scoop.
This mornings sun-up till noon was much more rewarding with a 750 3.7g pendant ( anyone know what "alla mamma" is?) and silver chain. Also neat but junk, was a heavily decorated lady pirate skull, and some other junk jewelry.
It didn't take long to get back in tune with the DF single tone target ID. A PI single tone MD might sound intimidating but their is a distinction that is learned that I still retained after a year of not using it. listening for the short, sharp and crisp tones I was finding the deep quarters dimes and nickles. A lot of those coins were faint but short whispers that shouted out in the headphones after the first scoop was dug.
Had a good time today, not many people in the water now that school is back in session. I wasn't in the water more than 30 minutes when a manatee came up from behind while I was looking in the scoop and passed within a foot or two...got a startled holy crap laugh out of me!! Got another good laugh later when I came up on a couple of ladies in the water......,as soon as they realized what I was doing they looked like they were doing the "Macarena" checking to see if their jewelry was still intact.
