.....well no, actually, I killed the monkey that was riding my back for the last 15+ days detecting (3 years) without joy. The Axiom lent the assist that was needed to get back amongst the living. First time out with the Axiom in tough ground, this modest .60 grammer saw the light of day, from 5" down. This is a big step up from the PI I was using previous. I used the 11 x 7 mono and was impressed with the hot top corners. Started out at sens 4 but got a little conservative and fell back to a stable sens 3. I can see that once you get some time on the Axiom, you will be more comfortable in pushing its limits. My confederates who run 2300's were impressed with how hot the 11 x 7 was.

Congrats on the find! Good on you for the sensitivity setting. The default setting of 4 is near max for other detectors, and anything above 5 is overdrive. 3-4 will suit many people very well, maybe 5. Nice, stable, and if you compare to the higher settings, you do not lose depth so much as lose noise. :smile:

He was probably not in a drunk state 😂 when he found it but may have been after celebrating that awesome find.

  Well done. Sure got the monkey off your back with a vengeance.

Found in California, where you have to stay in a drunk state to deal with the madness. The cool part- this was no gimme- it was actually some good, solid detecting to finally score. I did drink more than a little single malt that evening.

Great find and hope that with a little more time on the unit you will be able to recover many more.

Good luck on your next hunt and stay safe out there as the snakes are many out there.
