Hi Everybody. Well it's nice to be posting again finally. I haven't been detecting for quite awhile. Hit a spot out here after purchasing a house about 15 miles east of my old place. Got 1 hunt in a couple weeks ago on a lot that had a house from at least 1952 (historicaerials didn't go back any further). Found a 1945 wheaty with my Tek Patriot, took it as a good sign. On my way to the store last week I saw a guy swinging in an empty lot. When I stopped to chat he was stoked on his new machine, a Nokta Makro Simplex. It didn't take much convincing for me to pull the trigger on one at such a great price. Took out the Simplex today to the same lot that I found that 1945 wheat to get acquainted with it. Very pleased so far found a 1959 memorial, 1963 nickel that I believe I missed with the Patriot. Then got another wheat and after soaking in olive oil a couple hours, I could read the date as a 1918 S. Nothing spectacular, but this lot has to be at least an acre. I'm convinced there are some more good finds there, hoping for some silver. Digging this new Simplex, I understand the great reviews now. Just thought I would share. Pics aren't great, but I attached them anyway. Happy hunting y'all. I will be back at it, hopefully with some good finds to post! Scott
