You've got a great detector there. Have patience as you take time to learn your machine. You will be rewarded. Congrats on the half. HH!

Congratulations on your first finds. First thing you have to do with that DFX is put the preamp gain up to 3 or 4. You will not get very good depth at all with factory presets. And remember that if you reload the factory program the next day you will have to change the program again. Good luck. The DFX is a fun machine.

Just FYI they still make the kennedy halves. The last business strikes for general circulation were in 2001 or 2002, I forget which.
