I hunted an active school that has loads of trash, clad, and the potential for silver. I used high trash, ferrous sounds, auto sensitivity, and the SEF 8x6 coil. I switched to conductivity sounds before I dug, just to see if there was a difference. I got a quarter, five dimes, and 3 nickels. Trash included a tiny brass gear, 2 pull tabs, and a twist off. I found the nickels one after the other and was very confident . I dug the pull tabs expecting trash. I've got the pinpointing down. I usually center side to side, turn 90 degrees and center again, as recommended, but I find that with the smaller coil, I can use an x pattern with good results (though no one recommends this as far as I know.) A couple of the dimes were 6 in. down in dry, semi hard soil. The signal was strong. The in the side wall of a deeper dime hole. After I retrieved the dime, I checked the hole and got another clear signal. No silver today, but some good experience for such a short hunt.

Nice work for an hour. Schoolyards are fun as you never know what the kids will lose. I once found a 1000 Mexican peso coin that I initially thought was a gold coin. I saw the reeded edge of this gold colored coin sticking out of the side of the hole. Turned out to be some kind of brass or bronze composite and was worth $1.
