I changed everything up today. 11" coil, new programs (Andy's trashy and Hi Performance programs bouncing back and forth) and a new site I hadn't hunted yet. This site is a very large park with a campground, playgrounds, boat launches (river), pavilions and a large performance stage for bands, etc. I can see evidence that someone has been detecting here recently. I hunted near the stage where people generally sit to watch the musicians, etc. 10 steps from the car I got a clear signal that indicated a pull tab, but I dug it anyway as it didn't sound right. I pulled out a pull tab and just as I was going to fill the hole I ran the pinpointer through the sides and bottom of the hole and it buzzed again. 30 seconds later I pulled this ring out of the hole!
Not bad and I think it's silver and turquoise. Also got a bunch of clad as well as about 50 beer bottle tops! Never dug so many in my life. Rang up around 86-88 @ 12Khz and I finally realized they had a faint iron buzz to them. I dug a few more just to confirm and then stopped digging anything in that range.
I like how quiet Andy's trashy program is, but I'd switch back and forth to one of about 4 programs as I walked with the new coil. Seems like a winner although I don't see a lot of difference yet. I'll go back to some of the sites I've hunted with the 9" and see if anything jumps out of the ground.
