Default First Run with the DFX

Peg and I got out for a couple of hours this afternoon (I still have work to do today ) The DFX is going to be a great machine! My very first signal was a penny and it pin pointed exactly where it should be! I still have a LOT to learn with this machine....but I found 4 pennies and only dug 1 pull tab...so once I master the learning curve - this should be a treasure machine!

Hey Shawn that is great! I will be looking foward to seeing many more finds with the DFX! Make sure to keep the coin counter upgraded. Maybe even start a DFX one? Good hunting, Beale.
