Hello and happy Fourth of July!
Was away on vacation this month, and I also celebrated a birthday and Father's Day in June, so I treated myself to "little" present: I found a mint condition DFX on eBay for a price I couldn't pass up, so I grabbed it and tried to suppress my guilt.
Anyway last night I got out for the first time with the new machine. I only spent about a serious hour at the old park I frequent, but it was a good hunt nonetheless. About midway through I got a decent dime-quarter signal at least six inches down, so I very carefully dug, and uncovered a really nice old 1800s Long Island Railroad (LIRR) baggage tag, for passage between Ronkonkoma (Long Island) and 34th Street (Penn Station - NYC). This is the third old LIRR tag I've found this year, and it's making for a nice collection of local memorabilia. This is the first I've found that fastened on top and bottom. It's my understanding that these are more rare/desirable. No old coins for the night, but I wasn't complaining.
Just like you hear in all the ads, I used the DFX over the same ground I've been over a bunch of times before, and was really pleased to see it finding new things at considerable depth. Hopefully next time it finds me a nice Seated or even a Reale, but all in all I was very pleased for the hour's work with the new machine.
If anyone has any DFX tips, please let me know!
Cheers and HH,
B
