Got out for the day back up to 2 sites I been to a lot. Used my relic mode again and got a copper from each site.both were fairly deep that jewelry/beach mode just didn't touch.what a difference in depth with this program.i dug my fair share of iron as you can see.
a wiped out copper thinkin its a King George,a 1802 Draped bust large cent.a small cuff button,2 tombac buttons.one looks like is has a 96 :confused: inscribed on it maybe 1796.a musketball and the oyster & clam shells popped out digging some iron.

Dave , Dave , Dave :eyebrow: i've been telling you for quite a while now to use that relic mode and tweak it to get the most out of it , yeah you'll dig a little more iron but the targets at 8 , 9 or even 11 inches will be less broken up and sound better . now you have to hit alll your old stomping grounds again . nice 1802 my friend |:cheering: |:cheering: |:cheering:
