Hello everyone. Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. I've been doing pretty well with my nokta makro multi kruzer. I love it. I did some detecting in an old park today and found my first silver content silver. A 1929 Canadian dime. 80 percent silver 20 percent copper. Now I run my machine on 5 khz as this is supposed to give more depth for silver and copper etc I can't for the life of me remember what the dime was ringing in at but it rings it at 73 air tested. My question is it possible for that same dime to ring in at 30 on vdi and then obviously it'll change to 73 once out? I switched to disc at 55 and didn't really get many coins for the rest of the day. Found a 1897 young Vicky large cent that rang in at a choppy 30 to 75 and then 54 out of the ground. They're bronze. So far I've found 8 large cents numerous relics and the silver dime. Pretty happy. I know vdi is just a guide like. I'm thinking I may just dig anything that has a solid tone. I also dug 10 pull tabs and 5 bottle caps today haha

Haha shortly after I posted that I noticed it said southern Indiana, my apologies. I am very happy to be apart of this group and thank you for your very welcoming grandeur. It's lovely to meet you Chuck. I'm sure I will be on here often. It's nice to be able to learn from those who have the experience. I hope you have A very merry Christmas Ross

Thankyou for taking the time to post those videos. I'll watch them today. I really appreciate it. Merry Christmas Ross

GBA went above and beyond I agree. It's so nice to have experienced people on here to give advice. Those videos sound great. Where could I access them? Thanks so much Ross.

This was a phenomenal answer and made a lot of sense to me. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to me and explain to me. I love this hobby. It's not about monetary gain for me it's about uncovering history. There is something so cool and someone dropping something hundreds of years ago and I am the one to find it. I am originally from Liverpool, England. Moved to Canada 18 years ago. It would be a dream to come home and detect there. Maybe one day I can bring my son, who is Canadian home to England and show him the dales. Are your English? Thanks again Ross

Hello guys and girls. I am a pretty new detectorist. I have bought the nokta makro multi kruzer and it's working really well so far I think. In comparison to my old bounty hunter 2200 haha. I have been detecting at my in laws 1880s property and have pulled out a ton of stuff. 3 large cents Canadian. 1896 being the oldest. A 1800s pewter tea cup, the outer housing of a golf gilted pocket watch. A whole bunch of knights of the maccabees medallions. The only thing is I've been getting silver tones of 98. A solid 98 , I'll dig down and it's a large piece of rust iron? It this just because the target is so big that I'm getting the 98. I get so excited thinking its pre 1950 silver haha I'm just getting used to the vdi. Does anyone know what aluminium and zinc/galvanized would show up as? Just looking for some people to speak with and any tips and advice would be great. I appreciate you all.
