Buckle Recovered using the 12 x 15 SEF coil

I find similar ones at those aged sites.. not quite sure what they used them for.. kind of strange with the pin and prong both, but I assume some sort of sash buckle.. also it might well just be decorative and worn like a broach.. and just pinned to a blouse or something and the prong part is just for looks

I can tell you that it is much more stable than the 10.5 SlimLine stock coil that came with my SE.
Despite the SEFs size, it balances well and compared with the the stock SlimLine coil the difference in weight is not that great. 1 lb 14 oz for the SEF and 1 lb. 5 oz for the SlimLine. One of the next things I noticed is that I am now able to run at a higher sensitivity setting than I could using the stock coil.
I received the coil one evening after work and only had a short time to hunt so I hit a part of my lawn that I know I've pounded with the SlimLine. The SEF did not disappoint as I pulled my first silver from the lawn since April the 12th. That's 14 lawn hunts later!
You have to understand that my house was built in the mid 1800s and so the lawn contains a ton of metal trash making it very difficult to pull out "Good" signals.
Very shortly after digging the dime we left for a trip to Alabama to visit my son and daughter in-law. This was a great time to test the SEF coil in beach environments. My first hunt was on a Gulf (saltwater) beach. I noticed that I could not raise my Sensitivity above 14 in the water and 20 on wet sand. This, however, did not hinder the recovery of many coins. Be prepared to dig, this thing goes deep! I was digging one target that I never could recover because of the size of my scoop and the water that started the sand caving into my pit.
The second test was on a brackish water beach of Mobile Bay. This time the SE allowed me to add 5 notches to the sensitivty over what I could near the Gulf
