Hey guys I'm looking for suggestions... I'm doing a club hunt on the beach I have never done anything like this. I understand it's all about speed. I am wondering what size coil you would use, and - or what settings would be best. I believe the coins will be silver and wont be buried deep. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!

The Bigfoot was my favorite if it is allowed, a lot of hunts don't allow them now though. The Super 12 would be my next choice and then the 950. The idea is to cover as much ground as you can, pinpoint and recover as fast as you can so you can get to the next target. Practice would be good too if this is your first. Targets are not usually deep so you would benefit by lowering the gain to maybe one or two.

Larry I have a Super 12 BUT...I have a really hard time pinpointing with it. I started out with the Eclipse 5.3 and have no problem with it. I currently am using the 9.5 and doing OK with it. Guess I should start practicing with the super 12. Im thinking of using the coin program without any extras ( ie. extra AC Sensitivity or Pre Amp Gain). Thanks for the response I really appreciate it.

Pinpointing should not be much of a problem if you have the VCO turned on. Should be right in the middle at high tone.
