Hello everyone.
I bought a used coil, and was a bit surprised when it arrived. It was used. Not badly, but it wasn't very shiny.
I like it!
I took the Xterra 70 to the same location that I had found the Mercury dime at, in hopes of finding more silver coins. Being that I didn't want to dig to much trash, I used pattern 2 and added a few notches to it. For nickels, I only accept 10-12 and high tones from 32-up. Really cherry picking.
I came out with 14 more coins. No silver, but 14 more coins that I missed the last few times out there.
Pin pointing is easy with this coil. Sweep speed is okay also, as I tried fast swing speeds and very slow swing speeds. I did get a few locks of 12's that ended up as pieces of can. I knew they weren't nickles because of the size when going into the prospecting mode, but since they sounded good, I was hoping to be wrong.
Deepest coin was about 5 inches, and I think it was nickel. I found 4 nickels which is pretty good since I had already 'hunted' this spot.
I am keeping the coil on there for a bit longer while I detect other locations that have prodused good finds for me. Maybe I'll try it at the beach, but I don't know yet.
