While the experience is still fresh in my mind, I'd like to wholeheartedly recommend that you TAKE THIS CLASS!
Seriously, I thought I understood how to run a metal detector until someone like Andy (and Hugh and Todd) come around and totally teach a new approach to get the most out of it.
They teach you WHY to use a particular setting, how to navigate the quirks of the Deus platform, and great tricks to help you leave the bad targets in the ground and put the good ones in your pouch. In addition you get many custom programs added to your Deus. Afterwards, we got to hunt at a site in Gettysburg where people found REAL relics. In the group hunt yesterday people found bullets, buttons, large cents, colonial items, foreign coins, and more. (and these were not the planted items). In addition there were tokens that Andy and team had planted which, if found, got you a chance at prizes. I personally found five civil war bullets, a button, and oddly six Canadian coins.
Not to mention, I got to meet a great bunch of people.
I would have paid the price of the class just to do a group hunt at that site in Gettysburg and in addition I got a half day of word class instruction and lunch. (AND then finished up detecting at one of the most famous battle sites in American history!!!)
Absolutely, positively worth the price!
