Hi all,For the longest time I was abit of a skeptic when folks would talk of using all metal.I'm abit set in my ways sometimes so never really gave it a shot.Well the other day I decided to try it out and see what happened at one of my favorite sites.This site is in an open hayfeild out in the country and has given up alot of nice old coins and relics over the years but for the last couple of years I have found pretty much nothing at all there.Every now and then I might get lucky and find a flat button but that was about it.
I headed up there early Sunday morning thinking I was at least going to have a nice peacfull cup of coffee and relax abit.I decided to use my Minelab x-70 with the 6 inch DD coil as there are ALOT of iron signals there.I started swinging the coil and listening to the tones.Every now and then I would get a mixed tone and dig.I found 9 flat buttons and an 1818 large cent and every signal I dug had bit's of iron in the same hole.I think I'm going to really like this all metal thing !
Pinpointing was abit difficult useing pinpoint but by passing my coil over the target from different angles I could pinpoint pretty well.The depth of some targets was allso pretty impressive.So I guess the moral of this story is you CAN teach an old dog new tricks !
Photo is of my finds from the hayfield the other stuff Pin,boyscout pin, ring and deer button came from a friends yard. HH all !
