My DFX came back from the plant after getting some work done on it.. They put a new stock coil on it (9.50). I was able to find this around 15 minutes later. I still have a smile on my face when I find a silver coin. its just hard to explain to people who do not metal detect. Sort of the feeling you got when you woke up Christmas Day. I usually loose interest in some hobbies after a couple of months. Metal detecting has stayed with me for over 25 years. My Guitar playing is another hobby of mine with over 50 years of playing. I have a third one and that ice fishing. These 3 Hobbies usually keep me grounded. I am heading out to a place that used to be a Rod and Gun club. I was told my the owner that some years ago there were a couple of guys metal detecting the property. They were from his job at the time. They probably came in and cherry picked the property. its around 2 acres, I am hoping they left stuff behind for me. Taking the DFX out with the Double D Eclipse coil . This coil is new to me, It may take some time to get used to it. its brand new, so I hope to break its cherry today. Any suggestions are appreciated. its all good ground and a green lawn so I have to dig accordingly. Thanks for listening guys, I know you like pictures and I will try my best to provide them, Happy hunting!....................Pete

Looking forward to seeing what you find. Silver is always sweet and sure isn't being replenished. I had a DFX and I belive you are talking about the big 14" Eclipse I recall it was heavy and not a great increase in depth but coverage is great. I do like the 10" D2 coil very much. If you want to go big the 12x10" SEF has good balance - feels light and get good coverage and depth. Like you a few things have held my sanity - kept me grounded, motorcycles for over 35 years and detecting for over 28. The dead of winter can be tough for me unless we get a good storm that ruffles up the shoreline for winter beach hunting. No ice fishing yet, I leave that to my stepson. I retired fairly young two years ago and now get a whole lot of coil time and the competition for sites in my area is high with soany people entering the sport. Welcome to the forums.
