Had a bad day yesterday (hunt #15) so went to the penny park that I have taken out almost 700 pennies in one small area. Hunt #16 Compadre picked up some of the pennies left after 5 hunts there. My pin pointer was lost in some of the holes. The Compadre does get past 7" a lot of times. I picked up the Compadre because I figured it would get around 3-5" in the ground. That is the range I like to hunt in. It was a good hunt. Just look at the total trash of the hunt. Thanks for looking......Z

KennyD I know it wasn't you because you would not have left me all that trash.
Tabman lots of the pennies are copper. I can not figure it out? This is a volley ball court that hasn't been used in some years. Grass is taking over the sand. My hunting has only produced a few dimes, a couple of nickles and one quarter. The rest are pennies. They are from on top of the ground to 9" or more down. The Garrett pin pointer must be 9" long and some of holes it in all the way in. I only went to the park to dig some pennies to get the coin sound down so I could recognize the coin sound. 68 penny sounds kind of got me introduced to the sound. That was the point... Thanks guys and Happy Trails...Z

Early last month i spent an hour at one of my local bus stops.
I had found well over one hundred pennies and less than 5 dollars. Thats kind of normal here. I think the high school stundents are lazy and throw the pennies at each other when waiting for the bus.

It is hard for me to pass up a penny signal. I now have 1895 pennies and they are 66.54% of my finds. Even when using the F70 I still dig the pennies. I am still getting used to the Compadre so I really don't know a coin signal from a junk signal. Chirps are starting to loose their appeal for me to dig. I think the compadre is trying to say pass on this one. I still dig and find I should have passed. I am using the Compadre almost all the time. Took the F70 out of the trunk and it is in the house. The compadre is fun to hunt with. I am using it on the beach, school, parks and fields. Of course I am digging a lot of pulltabs and caps. Thanks guys......Z
I know what you mean...lol I used my GSII for 22yrs and my style was "the more you dig-the more you find", hard habit to break I might add. I still dig about every COPPER penny I come acrossed if my time isn't limited and I save the coppers. Now I'm older and only have so many bend-over-digs left in a day so I try and save my digging for the deeper stuff. Half the zinckers I dug are rotten and end up in the trash anyways so I just quit digging them.zeekeys said:

Good job on the pennies. When the armored cars roll over by me they are full of pulltabs!
