I finally had my first day of hunting. Looks like I'm going to have to play around with my harness thingy, start working out, or both, as I was pretty sore after only one hour. I got about 4 grocery size plastic trash bags of trash, which I just threw away, bottles , cans, cups. Found most of the pennies in one 2' spot. I probably dug about 50 targets in the hour. I didn't save the pieces of foil and condiment packets. No jewlery at all......bummer, would have been happy with junk at this point. This month/year will be my learning curve, so all notations good, bad, or ugly, will be a learning experience. It's true, there were quite a few hunters out there....quite the sight.
The id aspect of the detector actually works pretty good......pennies showed up as pennies and the quarter showed up as a quarter. I saved the little shells that showed up in the scoop, as I'm going to start lining the tops of my flower pots with em instead of pebbles. For what it's worth...here's a pic of my finds......1 kid's sand scoop, shells, beer tops, 1 quarter, 9 pennies, one pink feather, 2 photo cards, 4 bags of trash, not pictured.
