Went out with my friend today and we found an old Church yard to hunt, Pastor said HI, and no problem,
We spent 3 hours walking around this small Churchyard and found numerous coins.. but what surprised me the most was the numbers...
While my friend uses a Minelab 800, an admirable machine, and he seems to do ok with it. I use an XP DEUS II
I took 11 wheat cents from that yard along with 5-6 nickels and 3 dimes and probably 7-8 regular pennies... (no quarters)
My friend got more quarters than I did, which was 0 from the church yard, he got 2, but he seemed to have a problem with depth, although MOST of the signals I got he seemed to get (if he checked them) a lot of them he said he wouldn't have dug.
His take on Wheat Cents was ONE, where I got 11, we have been hunting for 20 years together... so lack of skill is probably not the issue.
Knowledge on how to adjust his machine maybe some... but clearly he wasn't getting all the same signals I was getting...
I can CLEARLY hear a good sound from a bad sound, he can't tell the difference just by the sound,
I can normally tell if a target is LARGE or not or COIN sized or not, but he can't and calls me over a lot to check signals for him to verify if a target is worth digging...
I'm LOVING MY DEUS II for coin shooting old sites..
Sorry to report that even after 12 wheat cents... there was NO sign of elusive silver coins... I kept expecting one to pop up, but none ever did...
The yard we hunted was relatively small, but the church property and surrounding properties have a lot more places to check...
We will be back !!
