about the numbers on the Safari?

[amcjavelin]

as a colonial cell hole hunter was wondering where most of your old coins give for numbers like old silver reales, large copper cents, and trimes espeacially, plus IH pennies

Hope this helps. Here in central Jersey, I have noticed that LCs read 36-37, IH always read 32-33, KGIII half penny 37. I run mostly in low density/relic so the tid I've provided tends to be more accurate than in high density mode. For Spanish reales, we'll need Croakersmoker & the Fog to weigh in with their tid.

I wish I could tell you but I live on the West Coast (Southern California) and we just don't see those coins here!! I wish we did though! Do you ever come across gold coins on your hunts?

Silver Reales come in like a dime or a quarter which is 38 or 39 maybe a 37, but the sound will be HIGH same as dime or quarter. Also those large cents come in at a HIGH tone in the mid thirties. If you get a mid 30 high tone instead of the lower tone for Lincolns or IH then it could be a LARGE CENT. I would dig ANY high tone from 30 on up! ALSO, thwe other LARGE coppers such as King G's have come in a HIGH TONE upper mid thirties. Anyway thats how it is for me. Hope this helps. DIG those High tones...but don't be surprised to see an aluminum can or a larde chunk of iron ...that happens too!

can you size your targets pretty good using the pinpoint?

With experience you can learn to size your targets fairly accurately, most coins are just a blip especially the smaller ones. It is the round coin size "junk" targets (washers, bottle and screw caps) that can sometimes fool me.
