I agree with that list for the most part but I would not add the garrett edge digger. I found it to be pretty blunt and it didn’t cut a good plug. I’m also a big fan of predator tools, those have always been my favorites. I use the ultra eagle and raptor.

There aren’t many people detecting in my area of Iowa, but if they are they’re usually swinging an Etrac.

Welcome from south central Iowa!

Thanks everyone. I would be hunting in freshwater. I did own a simplex and liked it. So I think this will be a good choice for me.

Hi everyone, I’m thinking of picking up a used multi kruzer. I have a Nox but don’t want to put that thing in the water. I have heard the kruzers are pretty chattery. This would be a backup machine and a water machine and maybe for dense iron trash with a small coil. Is the kruzer still a viable good machine or should I save up a bit and get a used Anfibio? Thanks in advance.

Awesome hunt!

Thanks dogodog! Too many kids my age just sit inside and do nothing but play video games, they are missing out! Lol

Wow that is awesome. I am also pretty young (14) and I was using a Simplex when I found that! Thanks.

I don’t know the other stuff, but DI means it has discrimination.

Ah ok. So my next best finds were 2 Seated dimes, around 15 Barber dimes, 2 barber Quarters, an SLQ, a Kennedy Silver Half, and lots of Washington quarters, Rosies, and Mercs. Around 25 Indian Head Pennies too. My best relic this year was a beautiful turn of the century Skeleton Key, and my 2nd oldest coin was an 1843 Seated dime.

Thanks! What do you mean by ranking?

Yeah I can’t wait. It snowed 4 inches so I won’t be getting out for a while. Thanks

Great button Cal, really love the large cent too.

I went to hunt a local park this morning with my new Etrac. The ground is freezing up here and I wanted to get out before it’s totally frozen. Since I needed 1 more silver to make 100, I went to the oldest park around, from the 1840s. I went out with low expectations, since I know the park has been pounded over the years. After hunting for about an hour and not finding anything I was getting discouraged. As I was about to head back to the car, I got a very deep, VERY iffy high tone. I told myself Hey maybe they missed a rosie or something. So I dug a nice 7 inch plug and in the plug my pinpoin
