back out digging...
April 25, 2009, 05:01:41 AM
First time this week I have had a chance to get out. The ground is water logged but that's not going to stop me.
Picked up this haul from a local elementary school.

Hey Nohope what kind of metal detector are you using? I have probably asked before but my old mind doesn't remember.

I have a Garrett Ace 250. I love it so I am not an impartial judge about whats good and not. I have a lot of people tell me whites makes a better machine. I firmly believe its the operator that makes the machine not the machine that makes to operator.

I know my kids use cheap, literally $15 machines and still find coins in the park.

Nohope, I just got back from a 3 day hunt in Michigan at a Boy Scout Camp (4200 acres). You're right.....it's the operator of the detector that counts, not the detector. Case in point: A guy with a 25+ yr old detector (White's 6000-D) for the 2nd straight yr whomped all of the other 60+ detectorers (male) and detectorists (female).....some with the new White's $1700 detector. Another amazing thing is that there was common change all over the camping areas.....a lot of it on the surface. The count is still being taken of common coinage found, but the latest figure is that it is over $277 so far.
