Best day I've had detecting in a long time. I really think it's listening to the tones. I will run in 60 tones from now on. I only dug 6 coins, but 4 were better than average. I got 2 silvers, 1 IH Penny, and one Lincoln.
They ranged in dates from 1917 to 1894, with the oldest being a Barber Quarter. Merc 1917S; IH Penny 1898. Did I ever say that I LOVE THE LEGEND!!

Thats a good day!!! Loving mine as well and saw one in action recently where two Barber dimes were brought up from a heavily hunted area!!!!
 
Super day of hunting!
 
Excellent.
 
I keep it simple; Park mode; Sensitivity 28 or whatever the soil/EMI allows; and 60 tones. The rest I use FD settings. I occasionally ground balance when I move from one area to another. I'm not smart enough to remember the rest of the settings to use.
 
Not being familiar with the Legend, just want to ask why 60 tones instead of say, 6 tones? Can 60 possibly tell more about the target than 6? Do you leave a lot of targets in the ground; targets that for instance, could be aluminum/pull tab, or a desired target? Can you really know without digging?
 
That's why I run 60 tones; gives excellent "clues" as to what's under the Coil. For instance; the Barber Quarter signal was mixed, meaning the tones varied from mid-tones to higher tones. Most mid-tones I don't bother to dig on an initial sweep of the area. When I dug the Quarter I was shocked; the highest tone read out in mid 40's on VDI so I thought I was digging a Penny. Along with the Quarter in the hole (approx 3") were 2 anitque cut nails; and the ever present ring pull. Always an adventure and a super pleasant adventure.
I have dug (5) Silvers in my last (5) hunts plus numerous Wheat pennies and (2) IH pennies. So, basically the Legend has taught me to slow down, concentrate on the faint and iffy signals. I just turn it on and go to mining. :clapping:
