In desperate need of a program!! pics

[richm]

Got to go out to the 1770 house for about an hour. I couldn't get my machine to run stable at all, lots of broken signals, iron etc. I was finally able to search a bit using of all things the "beach jewelry" program. Was finding lots of little relics and junk but not one coin. I was about to call it quits for the day but decided to swing the coil over some pachysandra around the front door when I got a penny signal. It was close to the surface, maybe 1-2 inches. The soil was loose almost like mulch. I could have dug with my hand only. I took one scoop out and a large dark coin popped out. When I cleaned it with some water I was looking at a beautiful 1819 large cent. I know there are more coins and silver here but I need help on a program. The ground is very loose with lots of roots and very crumbly and wet. I also found this nice old pin. any idea on the age? I've got a great spot but it is very frustrating trying to program my DFX. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Rich.

Holy Cow!! forget the LC, that plate is awesome!!!! Those early style Colonial Eagles just blow my mind, can you get any clearer pictures on it? It's a beauty!!

It's easy....put your coin on the floor surrounded by trash, try different settings untill the DFX pics the coin up clearly, if it doesn't through it away and by a Goldmaxx Power kidding aside nice finds I'm sure one of the Whites boys will help you out soon

I am sure someone here will be able to identify that eagle plate for you, and I am sure the answer will make you very happy. It looks extremely early for American History.

Definitely check out the dfxonly site. All of my programs are modified from advice I got on that forum.

Good Luck, and get back out there!!
Even better, take me with you!

You can count on more great coins if you start with that Largie. Set the DFX with the AC sensitivity at 73-75 and pre amp gain at 3. (4 might be too choppy). You will grab the deeper ones. Turn on the DC phase as well. That way you can really check the VDI reading when you pinpoint. Hope that helps. jgas

much about the DFX

much about the DFX, but would it be better hunting the trashy areas with a smaller coil

A good book for the DFX is "Understanding White's DFX" by Jimmy Sierra.

You should definitely post that buckle thing with the eagel on it in the "What is it?" forum. It looks early (rev war or war of 1812), and definitely looks military. Could really be onto something with that relic and on that site.

Hurry, I am dying to know!!!

Rich,

I sent you an email with some DFX programs in an excel file.

Congrats on the great finds!! I dug an 1819 last week, but yours is in much better shape!

Good luck,
Neil
