Default Tried out my latest detector

UPS delivered my Compass 77B Pro detector while I was on the road the past couple of weeks. I tried it out for a short while, in my yard to see if it worked. I found a 1979D penny, four valuable .22 cal. shell caseings, and a handfull of priceless alum. foil. ( I asked how much the alum. foil was worth, and was told nothing........ so I guess that means priceless.) Everyone have a great day and the best of luck to all....Richard

for me its just a return to my "Roots" that is what I used in the seventy's but I forgot and left the batterys in it and it ruined my old machine. I missed it so much I got another one. HH Richard

Congrats on your new detector. You'll be finding the good stuff in no time.
I'll trade you a bunch of rusty bottle caps for your foil, at least the foil is shiny.

Good Luck & HH.
