Detector(s) used
Bounty Hunter QuickDraw II & someday an MXT300.
I usually only get to hunt 1 hour before work and maybe a half hour at lunch, about 3 days a week. So, I took the day off, to play in the dirt. ;D

The total is $9.19 in clad.

The Shakey's Pizza Token is cool (I haven’t seen a Shakey's around since I was a kid). The hardest targets were: the tiny heart pendent, a silver jump ring, and a really tiny magnetic bead (I put them under the dime for scale).

For a bounty hunter, those are really good finds! :thumbsup:
 
Looks like your hard work paid off nicely! Keep it up!
 
Thanks - The funniest thing during the hunt was my BH said a target id of $.50. Well after 3 yrs, I have come to understand that particular id is always wrong, so I just ignore that and dig. The machine was 1/2 right, it was not a .50 piece, it was 2 quarters - lol. :laughing7:
 
Nice going :icon_thumright:
Beats working.
 
Hey Freak, don't knock Bounty Hunters!!! >:( I have found coins at 13" with my 505. Some of the best entry level detectors made!!!

Nice haul. Keep swingin' that Quick Draw!!! :icon_thumright: :icon_thumleft:

all that clad adds up !!

Most of my finds go torwards coffee and that most elusive MD I keep saving for. as for batteries, the Quick Draw uses 2 9V's and I only have to change 'em about once a month :). (I love bulk stores, I get my batt's at Cosco $9 will get me 8 9V's ;D).

It was mostly tedious work. About 1/2 of all the pennies and dimes came from a 10' radius. Here's the hint, when MD'g a park "look up!", see those trees will tell you where all the new clad is. For some reason (I love that they do it), people like to put change in pinatas! So, find those branches that are easy to throw a rope over, then look down, most of the time those thing have glitter mache in them, which helps define your hunt area! (And the best thing is, is that every week ((at least here in So. Cal.)) the clad is replenished!


Thanks to all the positive BH feedback. It's really nice to see there are more BH's out there! I was getting tiered of all the comments like "they are no good" or I can't hunt with one of those". (Not everyone can go out and get the machine we really want right away).
 
I bounty hunter are good machine just have to learn to use them like any other machiine. You definitly made a great haul for your 4 hours of detecting. I always getin the mood every no and then and take a day off to go detecting. It is our blood....Matt

:icon_scratch: interesting....I was lucky to get 6" with mine, one would think they would cost much much more if they can correctly id a coin at 13"
 
Prolab,

That thing can't properly ID anything at 4" let alone 13". But the No Motion All Metal is fantastic. I dig everything so "ID'ing" is not important to me. For that the machine easily stands in line with the big boys. Maybe you should give it another try. Who knows, you might sell your Whites. :dontknow: :thumbsup:

P.S. 2 clad quarters and a clad $.50 at 13". Obviously not an everyday occurrence, but I'll take it when I can get it. The 10.25" coil helps too!!! :wink:
 
i have a bounty hunter a love to play with it at times, have had some great luck with it. but now i use a whites classic 5 ID with some better luck. great finds keep it up
 
Nice Haul!!!
Learn your detector and you will be successful (looks like you have), that is a great day!
Keep digging and posting, most of all have fun!! :headbang:
