More silver from the honey hole

[Delta Digger]

Went back to my honey hole once again. It keeps giving up coins and a few relics. Found a 1940 quarter 1964 dime 1919 wheat and one 1948 wheat. I found these using my whites mxt this evening. The weather was perfect mid 70s ground was nice and moist from a recent rain. I hope to have a few days to do some 9hr hunts instead of 4 hrs each evening. H.H.

Hi Digger, Do you run your MXT wide open or do you knot out some trash?

 

[Delta Digger]

If you are used to running your detector a little "hot", while hunting coins, the MXT will seem noisy. Try running it in the coin and jewelry mode and set the switches to ground, discriminator to 2, gain to 7, handle switch to center, and threshold at hearing level. The threshold should be humming. Pump the coil a few times. If the threshold stays even, up the gain to 8 and repeat the process until the you either start to get false signaling or the threshold starts to disappear. Test it with some coins, and if you are getting false signals reduce the gain until you are satisfied you can be sure what it is telling you. I do this prior to each hunt. I run the 6
