30-minute Hunt with the Legend - DEEP Quarter!

[Terry Soloman]

My better half asked me to pick up some wine, and on the way I noticed a small park I've never hunted before. With rain threatening I got in a very short hunt before the heavens opened up. It was a DEEP dig hunt! I recovered three quarters, two around 8"-9" (top of pinpointer was about level with top of hole), but the third quarter was 11" maybe 11.5" DEEP! I was in Park; M1; Sens 28; Recovery 3. The penny and dime were both about 7" down, and the knife was banging at 10" deep (rang up at 43-44 with Ferrous). Going out to the beach again next week to get my Salt settings dialed in. So far I really like this machine. The park was full of iron, and I didn't dig any of it!

Good depths
Good catch on the brass knife

Very Nice - I have heard so many good reports on the Vanquish that I am curious to see how the 2 compare. Its hard to beat that 540 pro pack in terms of performance and cost right now.

I am a Vanquish 540 fan boy for sure! Only problem is I can't wade in the water with it. My Equinox flooded, and I never took the replacement 800 in the water after that. I sold it and got the Vanquish. The Legend is as good (maybe better, time will tell) as the Equinox, and the coil ears are much better/stronger! I dunked it in saltwater for 10-minutes at 6-feet in depth and there were no leaks. Much different beast than the Equinox or Vanquish, with a learning curve that is slightly steeper.

neat old barlow knife , I found one with a dime wedged next to the blade from being in a pocket with change. worth a look.

Terry, great finds at those depths. You didn't forget to get the wine, did you?
Will be waiting for more on your Legend.

Nice! I have been hitting places that I felt like I cleaned up with my other machines and finding LOTS of deep coins with the Legend.
