Thoughts on a detector

Didnā€™t get home with much daylight, did another night hunt, again very impressed, worked areas Iā€™ve worked a bunch of times before and I came up with 3 pennies, 64d Lincoln, 34 wheat and 19 wheat. It absolutely picks up targets my old one didnā€™t. Itching to get to some better sites than my yard.

OTB (Older the better) what program are you using and how do you clean your coins ?
 

Right now since Iā€™m working on short time in the dark, just general 1. I briefly tried fast and relic but thought maybe I should get a hold of general first.

The coins I knew werenā€™t high dollar, especially the 64 so I hit them with a brass brush on a wheel. The wheats were pretty crusty beforehand, could just barely make out Lincolnā€™s outline. The 1919 with the striations was just how the coin came out I do small circles with the brush to avoid a similar effect.

On better coins Iā€™ve gone with an oil soak and toothpick method
 

I think coins dug are not worth any where near the value of non dug coins value of the same year and description.
I may be wrong but this is just my observation
 

Iā€™d agree, when you google value there is never a dug consideration, sometimes the features are very sharp and would be considered fine or extra fine but the coin is greenā€¦ to me though finding a value is just to satisfy curiosity, Iā€™ve never sold anything Iā€™ve found just fun to know.
