I have a home site from the 20's I've hunted over the last 2 years with friends and a lot of different MD's. Every once in a while it gives up a older coin. Over the years, being on a main highway and the family enjoying MDing it has been hunted hard. I started out looking around in BP, 80 sens. 3H and 4 desc. 11" coil. Ground has patches of hard mineral area and around house good 6" top soil then clay. It isn't to hard to find a place to GB but it has some roof nails and mineral laden spots. Not very trashy which is a rarity these days. Just didn't see a coin in my future after an hour. Decided to try a coin pattern that I like in parks. I use 65 desc. notch 30 back in for the majority of nickels. Sure I miss the war nickels but I'm after the old nickels myself. If I notch in above that I get to many tabs. 80 sens. and DP tone. I also put it into Fast Audio and it was the key in a 26 coin afternoon. The recovery speed and the deep tone for nickels and high tones for copper and up just let me here the change of chirps to the good tones. I don't find this to be a hearing overload but headphones are needed to be able to hear the good tone as fast as it is reported. Some of the wheats and the Rosie were 6" easy and on angle. Yet the audio when I would get a good tone in the middle of all the short chirpy ones I would stop and work it and the separating of the 11" shined. You can "whip it" as fast as you want back and forth and really pull the good target out of the masking. Some of the targets had the orange soil from nails that have dissolved so a masking effect was happening. The TID was on the money with the good coin target showing on everyone I checked. With this set up using DP you just know it a good target. Going back later this week to try 5" coil in a area I think still may hold a couple coins. Try this pattern and see if it works for you. Headed back to all my old sites starting now. Very happy with the LTD-2 . Its working for me and I'm a Minelab user for the last 4 years. I see a 13" coil in its future. 1933 Buffalo came in at 27, 28 and produced a strong clear grunt. The tones for coins just in the low copper end can produce an almost strange duck sound. 63' Rosie was the icing. My first with the LTD. Guess the ET is going to be the backup now. lol HH JR
