Tenderfoot
Two weeks with the Simplex. Note: completely new detectorist here.
I have been enjoying detecting with this device. Reading a lot, and watching relevant YT videos. Iām finding the usual, hunting two local schools, and some older parks. Iām able to determine penny/dime/nickel/quarter (clad) by tones with referencing the VDI. Learning what kind of plug to dig, determined by where Iām hunting, depth, etc. (love coins right at the surface) My house is 120 years old, on what used to be a farm. Iām noticing that when Iām in field or park mode, with
iron tones disabled, it will still give me a solid high tone and VDI at 85-90 when I swing over a piece of old cast iron sewage or water pipe. Not a big deal, Iām digging everything right now just to educate myself. Looking for common experiences.
