Default Cheat sheet

Anyone else uses a cheat sheet? I have mine laminated and taped to my coil. Its more a habit from when I was in school.

I used to keep one in my wallet. Your idea is much better. I really do not use it now, but you never know, Beale.

I actually memorized mine so that I could dig the quarter and dime signals and fill my pouch with can slaw and tabs. Now I go by the tones and use the VDI just as a guide. There are a few spots that I dig everthing just to clean it for the next time. I get to practice my digging and pinpointing that way. Have fun!

That's a good idea, I had an old Spectrum that had it printed on the control box.
