RR,
I wish you luck. You use the same machine that I use. I've had great success with relics and coins on the properties I've been searching by setting the disrim to "tabs" and just swinging slow. Don't be in a hurry.
I've been hunting a farm for a year now, and still digging up some great finds in the same areas I've hit over and over.

Go very slow and listen for the deep signal whispers. Good luck.
