Hey Everyone,
I set my Fisher as Onion had suggested. Well, I went to a new spot that I've never hunted before so I'm not sure if it was the settings or the virgin ground, BUT I found over $3 in clad, 1 silver pendant, 1 heart pendant (fake but nice), and 2 rings! The rings were both fake stuff too but it was really cool finding jewelry instead of just clad and pull tabs I'll post the photos when I get a chance. ALSO, the day before yesterday I found a Kennedy 50 cent piece, 1971 in beautiful condition and a Canadian $1, the gold colored one with a Loone on back! Boy did I freakout when I saw that in the hole! I had visions of retirement in my head Anyhow, I will post photos of everything when I get home.
Again, I'm not sure if it was the settings Onion suggested or if it was because I hit a new area. I can say this, I didn't pull up as much trash as I have been pulling in the past. SO, I would think that the settings Onion had suggested have helped in that manner for sure!
Thanks for the help Onion and I'll keep everyone posted on what I find. OH, I almost forgot, my detector (Fisher 1280X) doesn't have a spot on the discrim dial labled "nickel" so I'm not sure what that setting would be. I know that if I set it to about 5.5 that I'm right at the edge of detecting gold and pull tabs and nothing below that. I'm not sure where nickel will fall in relation to the gold setting. Maybe you guys can help me out on that one.
Thanks again Onion and everyone else,
Rod
