Last 2 hunts using the round and elliptical HF coils

[Dan(NM)]

I got my new coils last week and took them to a 1850's site to see what I could find with the 9" HF and the 9" elliptical coils. I ran the Fast program with only a couple of tweaks, 3 tones(modded to 2 tones) and tracking on. My tone break was set just below percussion caps, I tried running it lower, but, I wasted way to much time digging small pieces of aluminum and foil I will say, when you hit a target within the range, there is no doubt about it. The first set of pictures was last Sunday using the 9" round, the second set of pictures is from today using the 9" elliptical. I ran the same settings on both coils except for the frequency, 9" round ran at 54 Khz and the elliptical was running at 74. I was able to get both coils over some keepers and was very pleased with how they both performed at this site. I'm loving the weight of the Deus, these were hunts #2 and #3 with the Deus, I'm liking it more than I thought I would, not sure why I thought I wouldn't

So you recently got a Deus and both hf coils?
I went for an ORX because I wanted a simplified version of the deus.
I just got it last week and like it so much I just ordered
the elliptical hf coil ( got the machine with the9” round)
and also a 9” xp x35 coil. I resisted the urge till just recently, I
love my Equinox 800 but found a new fave

Man I am old or tired or both!

thanks

Great finds Dan. What was your average depth of them? A 28kfz will really hit deep silver. Will start losing depth after that but suspect things don't run that deep where you live;
