in 3 short weeks with my GTAx 550. There's a drought going on around here! The local schools and parks don't water any more than they have to. The grass is alive, barely. Once past the grass roots the dirt is as packed and hard as concrete. Can't recover any targets in those areas because the dirt just falls off the grass roots if you try to pull a plug. Besides even at 4 in the afternoon when I detect (on my way home from work) IT'S HOT!!!! Have found a little moist grass around the trees in the shade but then ya have tree roots. Still if that's all ya can find it's better than sitting at home. Have picked up quite a bit of clad coinage, but have been taking it slow and analysing each target to learn what the detector is telling me. Found out "lawnmower guy" doesn't get off the mower to pick up cans... just chops them up into little pieces that read the same as nickels <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> and some of those scraps are 4 to 6 inches deep. Most of the city parks in my area (Irvine, Ca) are only 30 years old since they were built as the city was developed and grew since incorparation in 1971. Before that it was bean fields and orange groves. Still finding quarters at 5 and 6 inches and when it belltones "quarter" and shows 5 inches, it's a quarter. Plan on hitting some of the neighboring cities which are older after we get some rain... don't remember the last "measurable" rain fall.
Some good might be coming my way. My wife just took a new job. Assistant project coordinator for KB Home builders. IN THE LAND PURCHASING DIVISION!!! Working for the gentleman who is in charge of buying property in the entire southern califonia region, which includes Orange County, Riverside County, San Diego County and Imperial County.... I'm hoping since I know the gentleman also, that I can get permission to hunt the property before construction... Can't hurt to ask!
Sorry for the looooong post but just found this out. The wife wants to take a week off before starting her new job so we are going to visit some old friends in Plano Texas, which according to my atlas is right next door to Garland... Do they do tours at the Garrett plant? That would be great to get to visit the plant.

"> Great news on the potential to hunt targeted building sites. You should be able to access some nice places that way. I've found many native american artifacts (my main hobby right now) in that same manner. Good lucka nd happy hunting <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="
