Norm S Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I took my 600 out for the 2nd time this morning and rehunted a park that I had just pulled $100 in clad from it. I decided to hunt horizontally in the park this morning and wasn't expecting much because of the amount of clad I pulled out and someone else has been hunting the park as well. I went about 50' and got a 25 signal and it turned out to be a penny. I continued on and got a mixed signal so I dug because the vdi bounced from 24 -27 and pretty much settled on 24. I dug and found a penny then I was still getting a tone with my pinpointer and dug again and found a dime then was still getting tone so I dug again and out comes a quarter. Another 10' and I found two quarters stacked and the vdi bounced 31-32 and I thought it was going to be junk. I kept hunting for 2 more hours and found a total of $8.82 and I did better today than I have on any day in that park. The 600 is every bit as good as the 800. I have a love affair with both the 600 and 800. I made a small tweak this morning and I won't touch it again. No nickels even though I have 12 and 14 rejected. I did find some gold tabs but no nickes. I am staying in this park until I find less than 50 cents in a 2 hour hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Sounds like a good plan. You are going to be the first one to pay for your Equinoxes in clad alone at this rate Norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like the 800's adjustable backlight, however. Sounds like you are willing to work that park all the way down to 25 cents/hour. Well, I guess I have worked for less, and not just at metal detecting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm S Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Gold tabs are gold colored tabs from beer cans. I went to a hunted out park the other day that I had hunted really hard and it is finally hunted out until next soccer season. I will hunt this park until I know there is pretty good chance I am wasting my time. If I am at a park for over an hour and find nothing I leave and won't come back until they have another event there. I honestly think this park has another $50 or so in clad. I don't swing as tight as I should so I know I probably miss a 6" path every 2nd pass. That's why I am hunting it in a horizontal direction this time. I have an old soccer park I am trying next. Hasn't been used in 10 yrs so unless someone has hit it pretty hard I think it could be great for some silver. Tomorrow or late this afternoon I am hitting the beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
