Tom Slick Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Darn if the relatives didn't spend another night and prior commitments keep me busy tomorrow. Looks like Friday at the earliest other than trying my coin garden tomorrow for a few minutes.

I've been working so much and my wife is about to have our first child, so she's concerned the baby's going to come any second, so she's apprehensive to let me out of the house on the weekends to go detecting, that the few precious times I have been able to get out, I just detect...not even any videos. Later this summer or for sure this fall. Their definitely very different machines and both have a place in my detecting tool box. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is NOTHING like having kids...they will grow you and change you in ways you can't imagine... Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackpine Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 That's awesome that your 800 has arrived. Get out early and beat the heat! With any luck I'll have mine by the 18th. Cal enjoy that new baby when it arrives. Detecting comes second to the joy of a new one in the household. Tom Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Slick Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Got out for about two hours (before the heat got to us) this morning and went to a dirt lot that we've hammered pretty good in the past. Used to be three homes there built in the thirties. Used Park 1 that I made a few adjustments to prior to going out. Changed the tone breaks to my liking and also the Tone pitches for each "bin". When they tore the homes down, they moved the dirt quite a bit so clad can be found at the same depth as silver. Managed to pull out a couple of weaties and a 42 Merc. along with about 12 clad coins. My buddy using his 800 for the first time also pulled a wheatie and a 43 Merc. Gotta say we were both impressed with the 800's performance for being the first time we've taken them out. Heading to Nevada week after next to hunt some ghost towns and hoping the weather is much cooler up there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
