[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3988600, member: 14646"] That's awesome Dennis. Glad I could give some advice from my real life MD experiences. Those two items were so helful to me that I probably wouldn't have enjoyed detecting as much as I have without them If you have some old homesteads on you properties they could be a treasure trove of cool and somewhat valuable things. If possible I's start detecting around areas that may have been play areas for kids. Out in the yard areas, any swing set locations or placed people would have gathered outside. If you haven't already, I'd get some pennys, nickels, dimes and quarters and have someone go throw them out in the yard and have you go find them so you get used to the sound they make on your detector and if yours has a scaled number range, learn what number range each coin notes at. Better yet see if the other person will bury the coins at different depths. Take a shovel and stomp it into the ground and drop a coin down in there so it gets some depth. For instance, My Garrett AT Pro will make a different sound and read in the 78-82 range compared to a bottle cap that will have a bit different tone and read in the 50-60 range. Mine also gives a fairly accurate depth range up to about 10'-12". Good luck and let us know how it goes on the homesites. [/QUOTE]
