I stopped at a farm house today to ask him who owned the one room school house that was close to his farm, and we got to talking a bit, and I asked him if I could detect his yard. Well he said yes but I only had one hour of time. So the next question was if he minded if I checked for one hour today then returned on my next day off work. He agreed!

well I dug several iffy deep targets that were junk, found the key, few shells, then I got this real faint signal that was bouncing from the 50's to the 70's on the VDI, I swang the coil over it in all directions, and every way gave a real faint beep. I pinpointed and dug. The ground is bone dry, so dry that it is like brown concrete. Well 7" down I pulled out this 1895 Indian. I was pretty happy the MXT got that depth with the 6x10 coil and DRY, I mean extremely dry ground!

Nice Injun!
I know how you feel.
It's kinda like a "sigh of relief" when you pull your first keeper with a new machine. lol.
Congrats!
 
Congratulations on the new detector and the nice indian head! I remember how pumped I was when I got my MXT, I was very frustrated with my old machine and with the MXT the depth and quality of finds tripled. I'm still amazed at the tiny pieces of lead and copper I pull out of the ground that were invisible before.

yeah a nice short lawn is helpful, the closer you get to the ground the better.
 
like your first legally served alcoholic beverage, savor it well.

Crank you gain ALL the way up and try it again! Cut the discrimination back to minimal. My M6 started producing then. It is an MXT Jr.
