[QUOTE="kingswood, post: 412459, member: 11203"] I know your pain! Took me 9 months of detecting before I scored my first bit. The 23 is a great machine. As stated above, work old areas slowly. No one really gets it all. Its funny,once you break the duck, more seems to follow. Dont know why....Maybe its Murphy making sure you are worthy :) ha ha Good luck. Go slow. Whack a coil cover on the 23 and almost scrub it on the ground. Kick smaller rocks out of the way and detect under them. Stick the coil under trees and branches.... And remember, detecting is a bit like gambling....you dont know when the next coil sweep will whack a one ouncer :)!! [/QUOTE]
