It was fun. Silver coins and Civil War Relics were in most D.C. and Baltimore Parks. I first used a Metrotech 220A. Looked Alien but worked well on shallow targets. After Military Service I got really hooked and starting buying Whites from a local guy in his basement. First Whites was a CM4. Reverse discrimination was the way I would find deep signals. This worked well with the 4000d and so on until the 6DB came out with motion discrimination. You had to whip it fast to get the most out of it. People who left holes got us run out of many old parks, and in Baltimore a club certified you to receive the permit. Unlike what I see on you tube, you were not allowed to dig in the summer months so you could not kill the grass. Relic Hunting required alot of research, and your ability to travel the old civil war era roads was a must. We used an 1865 Map of Montgomery County to find many Civil War Camps. When in Rome Dress as the Romans. I would carry John Deere Hats to give to the Farmers who gave us permission.Hell we even got invited in for breakfast at a Farmers table. Many hundred detectors later, from all over the planet, I can still take my trusty old Whites 4900 and find coins and relics.Don't be afraid to go to the door and ask permission. Wether it's yes or no say thank you for your consideration. Oh and leave the Ugly Guy in the car! -

It really has great target separation (meter) when looking for silver in an old ball field loaded with screw caps. The right coil (Round) at 5 kHz, 4 tones is a Beast!

Bill Im sure I will have a Mantcore before it is all said and done.

I will pick it up this week and take it to my colonial permissions. The Manticore seems to be all over the place. I hope it gets figured out sometime this century. Keep digging.

My Last Beach Vacation
George Kinsey replied to George Kinsey's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Yes sir. When I got the Original Sov. I was living in Delaware. I hit many of the old schools from the 30's to 50's. Dug a ton of old silver coins. Very distinct tones. Now we can journey back to a Whites 6db. Motion Disc. No more reverse discrimination. What's next? Enjoy the bumpy ride. My Eric Foster Goldscan 5C allowed me to Ravage the Red Dirt in Culpeper Virginia at the DIV Hunts. Ground balance pulse detectors a major game changer. -
