Another 100 coin day

[DFX-SE Gregg]

Hit 104 today in exactly three hours. A little disappointed with my quarter count (6), but dimes (23) very good and nickels (9)continues to pick up thanks to some good advice! pennies (66), sometimes I wonder why I continue to dig them, one wheatie.

Wierd I havent dug a quarter yet.Nice count

 

[DANGLANGLEY]

Yeah I know what you mean about wondering why we continue to dig pennies. If I'm sure it's one of the new zinc cents and it's a couple of inches deep sometimes I will pass it up. Great coin count.

Wow, Nice day.. My Whites 5900 Pro is great with nickles. I have found plenty (70+) over the past year or so. Now if I could only find as many silver coins.. Aw well. It's still fun looking.. Midnightguy

Sure it will probably help you but not sure if it will help Toby....Because of detector he is using. Someone on another forum mentioned they noticed my nickel count was low compared to the other coins I was finding. I already new that and knew part of the reason. Seeing you use a XLT, here goes...I was strictly digging nickel hits at only 18-19. I was thinking I was getting the majority. I figured I was also missing gold from 14-17, and from 20-24. But the areas I dig are extreme trash!! OK that was at the beginning of the week. He mentioned I should be digging all the nickel range hits. So I focused in on digging everything between 16-24, widening my dig range for nickels. The next day I dug 14 nickels! Now this week alone I probably added 30! I think it is a matter of paying more attention and not ignoring those signals. I have dug a few more pulltabs...but with tone id on I have a pretty good idea already when it is a nickel. The pulltab seems to echo or break up, the nickel is usually a solid signal, one to two bars and very easy to pinpoint. I hope this helps.

Greg, wanna share the advice on finding the nickels?

I hunt extremely trashy parks and always have a headache when I am done! I always use tone id on. What that does is assign a different sound to each single reading on the DFX. Believe me with the dfx, the sounds are very distinct. They start with a low bass for nickels, pennies in the middle, and sings out for the dime and quarter completely different then listening to the same monotonous beep beep beep....< This is the standard on the dfx also. But with the pro options tone id takes care of that. I do not load up on discrimination or jack up my pre amp gain as some do with the dfx, I usually start out with the basic coin program with some very minor changes.

Wow and I thought I was nuts!!! Seriously I always hope that with the pennies there is a coin spill and a few dimes or quarters or both with it! I had signal earlier this year that started with a penny and ended after digging 16 coins!

With the DFX at least, nickels will always VDI a solid 20 more than not - maybe 19, 21 but 20 is a nickel or a square pulltab. Every thousand of those might get you a gold wedding band!

Better than diggin pull tabs mate , I dug about 2 dozen yesterday and only three coins. 104 coins in 3 hours blows my mind. Well done!

That is what I though, relying on one reading! Mine I thought was a solid 19. Turned out not to be true. I dug a ton more nickels last week giving a little more range.
