Thanks....i am still learning the 1266x as although I've had it for close to 3 years, I work 6 and 7 days a week and between that and finding a decent weather day off here in Indiana, I have had limited hours on it....most places i detect at has so much trash, either pulltabs or old iron nails....i have been running disc. at 8 so as to avoid most of it....this past weekend however, I was lucky to be able to detect in an older homesite that was fairly clean of trash so i lowered the disc .....found the indian about 4 inches down at edge of sidewalk in front of where home used to stand....after recovering it, I laid it down and went over it with my disc. at 8 where I normally run and it did not give a good response....so I wonder how many indians i have walked over in the past!!!....anyway, I hope to really be able to clean more older coins out of the ground once I learn this new EXCEL.....TOM (also)
