I opened quickmask and moved the cursor to the right until I saw 6, and then up until I saw 32. This gave me a mostly open screen, only eliminating iron and foil trash. it works well in spots where there is not a lot of junk, but you know there may be coins among iron, bottle caps, or screw-caps. The park I was at is one of these parks. We have hit it multiple times and I am sure all the easy targets are gone. I encountered spots where there was a LOT of ear candy from junk, but mostly the hunt was quiet. I have the machine set up so that it will scream on anything above a penny (really high pitched). It stops you in your tracks, and that is exactly what I want. Here was the days haul...1 Merc dime (1935), 3 wheats (1916, 42D, 53D) and $3.62 in change. a warm enjoyable day. First time I could wear shorts this year.




Happy Hunting,

PS. The marks you see on the face of the wheats is carbon pencil. I use this trick to bring up the dates...DO NOT do this with large cents or other valuable copper coins.
 
Nice finds. That's how I hunt all the time. Screen opened up to line 29, go slow and let my ears do the detecting. If the iron gets tough I go to TTF and a smaller coil. Nice work keep it up
 
If I open up beyond 25, I seem to "find" a lot of iron. I've found numerous partially masked wheats and silvers at 24 though.
 
Do any of you ever dig targets above 31? I have been running a wide open screen and there are tons of 31/32-44. I have dug some but they always seem to be nails or other iron targets. Just wondering if anyone has had any success in this range.
