Man, you killed it today, lots of great finds, congrats and well done! I'd say the Reaper 1.1 is doing the job alright. ?

Thanks Cap'n,

More like digging 48 Zincolns almost killed me ? It was easy though, most were right on top, and I had my trusty Devil's Tongue Park Probe with me.

It deserves an honorable mention, @kac really has a winner there. Leaving no trace is important both to me and the campground General Manager.

Looks like I've got it dialed in with this one. When I can turn the D2 on, noise cancel, ground balance and go it's a good sign. I'll probably just post the settings when I'm confident, but I liked sending it individually to those that requested the old Reaper to get feedback.

I'm going to strongly recommend use of Audio Filter. It really makes a difference with aluminum. My only fear is that I might miss some tokens, but round objects like the 1930 World Fair pull tabs I dug may suggest otherwise. ? Good thing I dig most 62s because that got me the cufflink. It did not have the brassy tone so I was sure I had a nickel ? it's awesome when I'm wrong... Sometimes.

Zincolns come in at 84 for the most part, memorials popped as high as 94 today.

What I really love is that even with multiple targets in a particular spot like 2-3 quarters and a memorial or Zincoln, I still got 93-94 consistently. That is another gripe about SMF detectors, the averaging or cancelling - the D2 did not do it. The best example was pulling a memorial out of a bed of nails.

The old Relic Reaper would have been a bit trifling here, this new version is much more quiet. Iron is just a low buzz.

Very nice again! Love to follow your threads with your finds and photos!

Thank you! Y'all may have a long "week", i extended my stay a few more days. ? There are going to be a few events this weekend, school is out most places and the campground will be filling up. It's been gloriously empty so far.

Thanks LC, this place has relics and is Park-like. Lots of older clad in the ground. I'm glad I haven't found any more live ammo like I have in prior years.
