Digger coil question?
- Thread starter Smithfire
- Start date
Please correct me if I'm wrong Clive, but don't your hammies come in with a low ID number? That is the impression that I get from watching the UK websites.
The Digger is great on items that typically ID in the 28 or above range. It will still hit on low conductors, but there would be likely no advantage to it over the 6" HF DD if indeed they are a low ID item.

Items that low on the ID scale would suffer from poor ID accuracy due to the target bin segment widths with a 3kHz coil. They would likely be jumpy or at least less consistent. A 7.5kHz or 18.75kHz coil would be my preference.
The Digger should excel on copper/bronze bits, as well as newer silver and copper coins. It's small size would actually be a benefit for it's sensitivity to smaller targets.
I like it for those sorts of sites. It picks it's way through Iron extremely well, and having a solid bottom keeps it from getting hung up in stubble.
Just out of my own curiosity, have you ever tried Prospector Mode? With the adjustable Iron Mask you can knock out most ferrous targets, but it will still hit non ferrous very well, and it sees deeper than any C/T mode. The biggest drawback is that you lose ID. If the target is within reach, you can often switch to C/T Mode and get an ID, but not always.
