In Atlanta it was a long hot and very, very wet summer. I hunt civil war relics in North, east, west Atlanta. This includes creek and hilly areas with tons of mosquitos, bugs and water snakes and an occasional copperhead. The worst is losing your footing in the mud and wet vegetation and busting your butt while trying not to damage your detector.
So the plan was to sell my 800 and keep the Vanq 540. Then the plan was to sell both of them and get out of the hobby. Over the past month I have flipped and flopped with my plans.
Finally just sold my 540 and keeping my 800. My 800 just went out of warranty and I would not get as much for it because of that. Plus lot of time went into learning the 800. So I am keeping the 800 and just lowering my expectations and just enjoy being out detecting.
On my recent hunt found about $2.00 in clad and a boy scout necktie slider. Coins are easier to find with an 800 than CW relics, a lot less digging because when you hit a coin, you know it is a coin (or screw cap).
