I finally got to use my SE at an old park....

using my standard 12" coil. I dug the deep coin signals only and found these including this 1873cc Half Dollar. It sure was fun!

The back of the Half. It Red Booked in 2007 for $150.00 and I hit it! It was a foot deep!

You mentioned that only deep coin signals were dug. This is my style also, what depth do you dig at? for me I like readings close to half on the meter before I get any excitement at all. I will also dig masked shallow targets that show slightly less depth. Just wondering what your criteria is for deep coin signals.

Hi, I was wondering how much trash did you dig and what kinds?

 

[graytcote]

Thanks, just below half on the meter. I always hunt in all metal and use a 12" coil unless it's super trashy. I was ignoring all low conductive numbers. I know I probably left some rings and nickels but I didn't want to spend lots of time digging shredded aluminum. All of the coins I dug sounded good. All of my iffy signals weren't good. The Half locked in on 0-29 and was a little muffled.

More trash than coins of course. My iffy signals turned out to be pieces of nails, nuts, some just disappeared, some signals turned to iron, or were well beyond my uniprobe. Some of my good signals were small brass items.
