11" coil finds

[HuntinDog]

Well here is my first hunt with the 11" coil and my first hunt of 2014.
The top left round piece is the top to a power flask.
The other two are Chinese coins.
Large one is Emperor SHENG TSU - AD 1662-1722
Small one is Emperor JEN TSUNG - AD 1796-1820
The top thing I think is a cap to a match safe.
The broken round thing is the wreath part to a tongue and wreath buckle with part broken off.
The little game piece looking thing is a 1/4 ounce gold scale weight.
A button, a tack brad, a chewed round ball and 7 shot shell heads.
along with a bunch of iron trash...

This was a good hunt for this spot. we've hunted it for the past year and a half with the 9" coil and targets were getting far and few.
The 11" seemed to hit a little deeper, but what I did notice was it sounded off a lot better on the target.
The deep stuff had a better tone to them and it separated very well. I'll show this in another post.
The deepest target was a headstamp at 12"+ although just a whisper and sliver.
I think I'm going to like this coil...

I was running Deus Fast
Frequency 12
Disc. 5.5
Manual Ground dropped to 85
The rest of the settings were stock

After a little more cleaning of the smaller Chinese coin I found that I miss ID'd it.

It is a
Dynasty: Ming
Emperor: Shen Tsung (1573-1619 a.d.)
Reign Title: Wan Li (1576-1619 a.d.)


So it looks like I broke into the 1500s

I know these little coins aren't worth much cash wise, but I love finding them for the historic value...
The Chinese immigrants coming to the gold country to make their fortune in gold and bringing along their life savings which had little to no value here.
My collection now spans from 1576 to 1889 of detected Chinese coins.

The 11" coil is a game changer for the Deus. Great finds out of No. Ca.
