Yeah, it's got a small coil. Yeah, it take a little more time. But boy, is it thorough. I went to hunt a tot lot and our schools have started a program whereby the kids are there till sometimes past 6 pm. Well, there's an area about 3 football fields in length on the side of the playgrounds. I know- I know. Why haven't I searched it before. Well, I started out with my Ace and large coil and found myself checking all targets, so I said "dang- I might as well use the Compadre." The signals started coming so fast I couldn't sometimes put the coil on the ground when probing without hitting a signal. Dang this thing loves nickels and dimes. I don't think the ring is real-but it's thin. And a swipe or two with the coil and I had the coins pinpointed.

Great finds. How much?

Nice haul slingshot,

Looks like you were pretty busy Did you ever stand up or just stay on one knee? I'm thinking of using a low mechanics type stool when I get to areas like that with lots of targets, just sweep ahead of the stool while sitting and clean out a small area, then move the stool to the next area. I'm not getting any younger and my knees can only take so many get ups.

Heck if I know! Looks like about $3. I wish I had started earlier before darkness set in. I only have about 2 3/4's football field lengths to go. Plus tomorrow, I'll check the tot lot. Just shows to go ya' the prime places we overlook.

Randy I had thought of carrying digging stuff in a bucket & have one of those padded seats to put on top of the bucket on which to sit if I am getting tired. I think it might be easier on the knees & back. When my husband goes with me he detects & I do the digging! He has had back problems for 40 years. I have been pretty lucky have not had many backaches. I will say though when we have gone treasure hunting I was getting a little sore in my knee & lower back. I sat on the edge of a bucket , it helped but the seat would be much more comfortable. The bucket helps me get back up too as I can push on it to get myself up if I get down on the ground digging.

Great idea ccc,

A 5 gal. bucket with a padded seat would be great on the knees and back, gotta try it.
