Tried out two tone ferrous for a little bit after work at the old post office house. Came out with two buffaloes 1913 T2 and a 1920, one 1901 Indian, and one 1929 wheat. I only did a little square of the yard. Seems you have to go even slower in TTF to try and get between the nails.

I assume a smaller coil works quite a bit better with TTF in heavy iron like this yard has. I'm going to order the 8x6 and the 15x12 SEF after Christmas is over with. I like the stock coil but I've heard the SEF make it a lot more stable in trashy areas. We shall see.

Sorry now I declined to join you. You did good, might try next spring and use my 4X6 coil, good for nailed yards. Keep going.

I think you will really like the 8X6 but I would ask around about the 15X12 before buying. I have heard from many that it doesn't seem to get much deeper than the 12X10 but it is a LOT heavier. How deep do you want to dig anyway? The 12X10 will get you to 12 inches or more.

Then the 12x10 it is. I know a guy that lives up by Chicago that wants to sell one. I may ask him what his price is.

Good luck Andrew, they are nice coils......... keep in mind that many of us bought them last Spring for $139 delivered if that will help you on negotiations.
