Went out for a grid hunt to cover an area of a park I plucked 4 silver from earlier. Here these were all down about 6'' and IFFY. Thanks for looking and HH
 
Nice. Which SEF coil is that? How do you like it? Why do you suppose the coins were iffy at only 6"?

HI WAYNE. THE COIL IS 12X15 AND I LOVE IT. COVERS MUCH MORE GROUND. AND SEPARATES REALLY GOOD WITH TRASH UNDER COIL .IS A LITTLE HEAVY... BUT I ADAPTED TO IT. IT'S NOT HEAVY IF THE GRASS IS SHORT AND JUST LET THE COIL SLIDE ON THE GROUND. IF YOU HAVE TO HOLD IT UP ALL THE TIME....THEN IT GETS HEAVY. WHEN I SAY IFFY, I MEANT THE NUMBERS FOR BEING ONLY 6''. MITE HAVE BEEN TRASH CLOSE BY. BUT THE SOUNDS WERE GREAT. BUT ALL COINS I GET THAT ARE PAST 6'' -SEEM TO BE OFF ON THE NUMBERS. BUT MOST ALL DETECTORS. IVE DUG 10'' WHEATIES WITH THE PRO COIL THAT GAVE THE SAME IFFY NUMBERS. AND IF COIN IS ON EDGE OR JUST A LITTLE. AND DEEP... THAT WILL THROW OFF THE NUMBERS. JUST THE FERROUS NUMBERS READ HIGHER AND JUMP AROUND. THE CONDUCTIVE NUMBERS ARE ALWAYS VERY CLOSE. SOMETIMES I GET PENNIES THAT READ QUARTER OR HALF DOLLAR DO TO THE HALO LEECHING AFFECT. BUT IF THE COINS DON'T GIVE A REALLY GOOD SQUEAL IN A ----X---- PATTERN I USUALLY DON'T DIG. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Nice finds Richard !! :cheers:
 
I USE THE SMALL 2 FOOT LONG SPADE U CAN GET AT A LAWN/GARDEN HARDWARE STORE. MUCH FASTER THAN MY GATOR HAND DIGGER. I ALWAYS CUT A DEEPER PLUG. IF U DON'T.... IN A FEW DAYS THAT GRASS WILL DIE AND THAT PLUG IS EASILY UP- LIFTED EITHER BY LAWN MOWER OR MY SOME 1 KICKING IT WALKING BY. OR EVEN BY ANIMALS. NOT TO MENTION IT GIVES A BAD AND RECKLESS FINGER POINT AT US.
THE SPADE IS ONLY $10.00 AND WORKS FANTASTIC.

LEAVE IT BETTER THAN BEFORE WE DETECTED. THANKS FOR THE QUESTION AND H.H.

THANKS STUBBS. THAT DON'T HAPPEN TO OFTEN FOR ME. WHEN I FOLD OVER A PLUG AND THERE IT IS ON THE PLUG. I JUST HAD TO PHOTO IT. NOW I TAKE MY CAMERA WITH ME ALL THE TIME. STUFF TO LOOK AT DURING THE LONG WINTER MONTHS. AND TO SHOW OFF MY FINDS. THANKS 4 LOOKING.
