I hunt a lot of state parks that are riddled with trash. Mainly the junk is old pull tabs, new pull tabls and pieces of cans and aluminum foil around trees and picnic areas.
Normally, I'll go do an hour or so after work once a week for a "speed hunt". Since time has been important, I've been trying an experiment to find a bunch of coins/clad really fast.
I've tuned my detector to the Coins+Jewelry mode, turned up the discrimination way high, and turned up the Threshold to a point of silence.
Then I just fly around like a banshee and grab all the surface and/or shallow coins based on VDI range. It's been really effective and have been getting $4 to $5 per hour hunt. Not enough to quit the day job! But enough to replenish my vending machine money each week.
I know I'm passing over potential gold + nickels by x'ing out that +18 to +24 VDI range. But I've been getting a ton of quarters. I like when I see that +82 repeat itself.
Anyone else ever try this approach?
