New to the E and have about 23hrs. on the machine now and starting to get more comfortable with the machine. Probably dug around 100 coins now. I just put on a 6" EQ2 coil and like it because of the size, weight, slides acrossed the grass nice, gets into tight spots, etc. I've had it on now for about 6-8hrs and noticed I wasn't digging anything real deep? I got home and threw out a merc dime and a slick Barber quarter on the ground, then got an 8" tall box and used that to rest edge of coil on for an air-test. I'm using Andys' coin pattern and G4Es' settings. Anyways....all I could get air-testing the dime and quarter was 5" on the dime and about 6" on the quarter...????? Thought maybe the little coil was coming up short so I put the stock 11" (?) coil on and same thing...5-6" on the air-test???? Then I decided to lay the machine acrossed the box and wave the coins at different speeds in front of the coil(s)....same thing 5-6"..???? Batteries are up........
I didn't try any different settings (yet). I bought this machine to get a couple more inches mainly and now I'm a bit concerned?
I could not tell any difference in air-test depth between the stock coil and the EQ2.....
Any recomendations, thoughts, etc? I know air tests don't mean much but 5-6".....?????
Thanks.....
