Began todays hunt at a large soccor field south of town, turned the disc down on the MXT to accept
nickels (preset position) and hopefully gold rings, dug my fair share of pull tabs and clad. Next i went
to a middle school football field, turned the disc. to max and the gain at aprox +1 in order to cherry
pick the field for silver rings, quarters, dimes,and clad. No silver here, so i headed to an adjacent
elementary school and began hunting a medium sized grassy area. Got a signal that was dimey in one
direction and just shy of quarter in the other axis (for you MXT users 79 and 82) .When i see these
signals that either fall a little short of a quarter, or are well above, i start thinking silver ring. Sure
enough a small silver dolfin ring with a tiny black onyx stone. Decided to head to a large private
high school athletic field next. Continued in the aforementioned cherry picking mode, picked up a
fair bit of clad , then while digging a penny/dime type signal, (79) was surprised to pull a sterling
ring with turquoise inlay, rather beat up from rototiller or mower. Swept the spot and got a signal
of 82 -83 (ringish) sure enough a nice sterling ring with black onyx inlay . Sun was setting so i
called it a good day. Clad came to $17.00 + 3 sterling rings . I love metal detecting !!!
