Hi Kac.  I have the concentric coil, 8 by 9 I think. 

I have had my Golden uMax for years and only used it lightly as I have other detectors as well.  Anyway I have recently been able to get back to detecting due to some improvements  in my health.  I finally have had time to appreciate the notch settings on this machine.  Nickels no longer hide from me.  It is just like a new machine and I have noticed that you can't hardly even find used ones for sale.  I think I will be hanging on to this detector for sure! 

Got out yesterday and today, pictured are both days.  Had some fun, tried to say howdy to another coin hunter, but he was having none of that.  I won't be sharing my chocolate chip cookie with him I guess.

Congrats, nice clear date.

Nice haul!

Fantastic, a hunt to appreciate!

Good variety and a beautiful place to hunt!

Snow mostly melted now, so I took the Whites M6 out to a park field that has been detected a lot.  No silver, but these coins have been in the ground for some time.  Dimes and copper cents mostly did not favor me today 😞

Thanks!

The "battery check"reading on my M6 reads 13 with the alkaline battery pack and with the nicad pack it reads 10.  ((Are this readings ok?))  I had some issues with my nicad charger kind of falling apart - so I put it back together with some superglue (the outside "housing" top pulled apart.  The red light indicator does not come on now.  I was charging the nicad pack prior to the "falling apart".  I read the manual, page 5, but I am seeming to have brain fog with understanding it.  Thanks for any help.  🙂

I have done a lot of park hunting with it.  I noticed that it seems to love quarters, weird I guess, but it does!

I think we have just become best friends 🙂

Hi Sleddman.  I was a member for several years, my back put me out of business so I was not active just prior to Whites forum shutting down.  I remember you.  I just joined this forum yesterday, and I am hoping to get out detecting this year.

Thanks phrunt.

Just a howdy, I am new to the forum.  I use to detect a lot (since the 70's) but back problems and age slowed me down.  I think I will be able to get back into the game this Summer.  We had a blizzard here in Sturgis South Dakota, but I had three days prior that I was able to do some detecting in the parks.  I cannot stoop up and down as many times as I used to be able to do, so I don't dig iffy signals so much (where the good stuff is!). I will include photos of my finds so far this year from those three days.  You can laugh, hey I am 73 and can no longer be offended!
