Been a while since I've been out hunting - life, and cold rainy weather, intervened for a while. Went out in my yard this evening.
Some observations:
1. God reminded me tonight that exercise is cumulative, but can go away quickly. When I was out detecting every evening just a couple of weeks ago, I could knock out 3-4 hours no problem. Tonight an hour and a half kicked my butt. I need to get out there and sweat a little every evening.
2. I have nothing to compare it to, but the Teknetics Eurotek Pro appears to be a modern coin-sniffing monster. If I had access to a few tot lots or parks, I'd have paid for this thing by now in clad coins.
3. What they say is right - no site is ever truly "hunted out". I found the best coin of the bunch tonight in the edge of a hole I'd dug a few weeks earlier! My yard continues to spit out coins.
From left: A modern button with some cotton twine still attached; a nice 1944 wheat penny; a couple of quarters from the 90's; a couple of pennies, one from the 60's and one from the 70's.
