hi everybody.
I just bought a bounty hunter sharpshooter II about a month ago. I have been going to the local parks and schools whenever I can. I just can't get enough of it! I guess it's called an addiction. So far I have found 147 quarters, 152 pennies, 86 dimes and 15 nickels, also one 50 francs piece from 1953, (my oldest coin so far). I have found many of the coins as deep as 7". I have very few nickels, but I just "cracked the code" on them with my detector as of today! I found 11 of the 15 just today! Tomorrow I hunt my first virgin property. It is an old schoolhouse that was on an 1878 map. The foundation is still there. It is located in the corner of a farmers field that I was given permission to hunt today. If anyone has any pointers for me, I am all ears. If I find anything I will be sure to post it.
 
Try and orientate the entrances ,sidewalks and play areas then search in grid style good luck. Howard
 
Go slow and be sure to overlap your swings. If you find an area that produces well, go back over it at at 90 degrees to your first pass. If its a large area take your time, it might take 2 or 3 hunts to cover it all.
 
You are right about it being a addiction. We got you now. Don't let it mess up your life. Always make sure all your chores are done and your family is
taken care of then you can go out and have one hell of a time and not feel guilty. This is the best hobby in the world and it has led to many new good
friends. Bounty Hunters are bad azz detectors to start with. The only thing i don't like about them is they drive everybody else's detectors nut's.
 
Let me know where to meet you and I'll 'help you out.' You can trust me, :biggrin:
 
Sounds like you're doing fine. I would grid small small areas off and hunt slow and thorough. Hunt these areas north to south, east to west, and diagonally. Use all metal if you have it and dig everything as there may be some cool relics there. Good luck and keep us posted on your success.
