First time out with the 10.5" MF DD coil

I went back to the park that I have hunted, and hunted, and......you get the idea.

I thought I'd pretty much hunted it out. Anyway....came back with $.87 in clad AND a 1909 penny!!! Unfortunately...not an S or VDB, but still pretty cool.:thumbup:

I think I will really like this coil. Much better separation...and since I have mostly used the 9", I'm used to the MF TID's. I think I'm also now covering the ground a little more efficiently. Don't know about depth yet....time will tell.

Congrats. on your success with the 10.5 DD MF. I felt exactly the same as you about hunting out my old park but with the 10.5, I have found 13 Indians, 3 Barber Diimes, 5 Silver Rosies and too many Wheaties to count. It's a great coil but did give me some shoulder pain in the beginning but that has disappeared with use.

Yeah, it's a little on the heavy side....but it also stays closer to the ground in heavier grass.:laugh:

Went to the school last night to another of my "hunted out" areas. WOW...this coil is a "coin shape" finder. By that, I mean it finds coins, rings....and more bottle caps than I thought were there.:blink: I'm finding things that I KNOW that I passed over before. The target separation with this coil is great. Hmmm...maybe the 6" DD next year......

Another $1.00 in clad and a cheap(formerly gold plated) ring.
 
It's great coil. I've always been a big fan of the HF 10.5" but lately I've been trying to put a little more time in with the MF. In my soil conditions I think I find more with the HF but not that much more than the MF. I'm not sure that there is truly a way to judge that one can find more than the other except that my numbers on outings as far as finds go seems to be a little higher with the HF coil. Could very well be my soil conditions and which frequency is used.

Lately, I've started to notice that I seem to find things a little deeper and older with the MF coil but it's seems more subject to picking up can slaw than the HF. Both great coils, just a little different personalities.

Last year was my first year with those coils and I used to end up with some shoulder and arm pain. This year, no problem whatsoever. I think for the most part, you arm adapts.

Have fun!
