My wife bought it as an early Christmas/Birthday present. Still learning the Minelab but having fun. I dig everything anyway. Helps me figure it out better. I have watched the disc and read the manual. I also grabbed some coins and did the air/field test thing. I have a quite a few spots researched but was waiting until I knew more. Guess it really doesn't matter since I dig everything. There are plenty of spots around since Valley Forge Park is minutes away. The park is off-limits but it is not the only spot around inhabited during that time. I've been to some pretty trashy spots and a seeded hunt in Carlisle. Got a lot of tabs, old nails, RR spikes. I thought it was me but starting to think it was the spot since I was finding stuff. Thinking about eventually heading over to the other side near the playground but wanted to try some more promising spots first. The seeded hunt was fun. Brought some nice silver home for the collection. I am basically a weekender but have some vacation from the 19th through the end of the year. Let me know!
