I went to a park in Yonkers, New York, the second "hilliest" City in the United States, just behind San Francisco, and detected a park that has been heavily hunted since the 1970s. It is in a very old part of the City, that is now run down, and dangerous. I was approached by two sets of policemen during my 90-minute hunt, and after short conversations, me giving them my business card, and them warning me to "keep your eyes open," I continued detecting. Not my best hunt ever, but the Multi Kruzer, three-tone, 5kHz, gain 80, really sniffs out copper and silver missed by countless other detectorists over the last four decades!

Really starting to get a feel for the machine as I approach 100-hours on the headphones. I got out of the area without being robbed or assaulted, got some wheats, an IH with a marble beside it, and a silver. Happy-happy!

Congratulations on surviving the park! I have a question....were the tones solid coin signals that said "Dig ME"? Also, what was the average depth on the pennies? Ok, that was two questions. You can answer one of them and leave us hanging on the other.:occasion14:

Yes, tones and VDI's were solid at 8"-10" where all of these targets were living. You have to really listen though in a park like this, because there's so much garbage aluminum, tin foil, lead foil, the list goes on. Very solid mid and high tones. :skullflag:

How would you compare it to your Equinox in performance in a trashy park like that?

Nice job Terry and glad you got out unscathed. Did you take your Abrams tank with you? I experienced the same thing last year with my Deus in a Baltimore Park. I am not going back to any Baltimore Park. Didn't have an Abrams tank with me.

Rawhide is correct. 9 am to noon is probably safe.

Interestingly, I find the two machines almost neck and neck in trash, with no clear advantage one over the other when it comes to super trash park hunting.

Great Finds Terry, I love that 3 tone mode in the trashy areas. The Kruzer is really bringing those sites back to life as I would have never considered hunting them with something like an AT Pro.

Awesome Terry,
I have fallen in love with 5kHZ running 3 tone at 94 gain.
I have found more wheats in one weekend of hunting than I did all last year with the Whites.
This thing really bangs on the copper and silver at 5kHZ.
