Great hunt with awesome finds. That's a days score that experienced hunters would be very happy with. Congratulations! From the finds you got on the first hunt of the hog pen I would say you need to go back there and hit it hard. Bound to be more there. People don't just drop nickels and pennies, got to be some larger silver there. Tecknetics makes some great machines and you will only get better with your Delta as you become more familiar with what its telling you.

Eight silvers in one hunt is just amazing... and your first hunt at that. I have never found more than three silvers in one day. You should be quite proud of your success! GL&HH!

Congratulations, I know how you feel. I also was hooked after one day. I started with the Delta and it is a very good machine. I learned a lot with it and have a lot of confidants in it. I know use the ATPro but will always keep my Delta. Welcome to the hobby and net.:occasion14:
