    My 2nd hunt with the F5

    Fisher F5 -- 2nd time out

    This morning I brought the F5, to 2 park areas, and at each one, did a quick scan of the totlot, then hit the grass areas.

    The F5 worked great in the totlot area, as I could get very close to the metal equipment with the thin width, 5 1/2 X 10 inch coil. I like the 4 tones mode, so I am using it, as the nickels are a higher tone than pulltabs.

    When the VDI shows 30 ( nickel) and it doesn't jump a number or 2 up or down----------it is a nickel. All the clad dimes I got today were at number 70 and the clad quarters were either number 80 or 81.

    No old coins but located over $7 in clad--a good total for the 2nd outing.
