Musket Balls with the ORX

[bigtim1973]

Here are 19 musket balls I found on my land recently. I only found about three up until I purchased the ORX in the past. And those 3 were few and far between over the last several years swinging a ton of different units. After getting the ORX with the HF coil set up, there seems to be several more that were there waiting on me!! A couple were deep like 10 inches. Just thought I would share. It is not like I have several acres to search. We only live on less than 2.5 acres. I am hoping there is more to come. I cannot wait until the fall when the ground gets nice and moist. This is just from farting around here at home before dark. This is not counting the other odd and ends I have been digging up out there like old shotgun brass and such. I only like to post the old stuff.

Wow! I'd say that ORX is really helping you find the goodies!

It looks like you've taken to the ORX, like a duck to water. Nice finds.

Thanks, yeah it is a very fun machine and I am having more fun with it than any other unit I have had in a long time. I showed it to a friend of mine. He fell in love with it and bought one the next day after he saw mine. He got the one with the 9" X35 coil.

He has a little spot he hunted out. Well, his other machines were not giving off signals any more. It is the corner of a church yard and is right under a willow tree on a slope going down to a sidewalk. About a 20X30 area total. He started out there several years ago with a Garrett grand master hunter and found a large mens ring. He has found a standing liberty quarter, barber dime, 5 buffalo nickels and an indian head penny there previously with other units. He was a big fan of the F75 and kept going back to that unit after trying out other machines. Well he has not found anything there in about 3 or so years. His F75 and everything else he swung out there did not give up any more targets.

He took his ORX there on his first little hunt with the machine last night. He said he got interference from something as he heard it through the headphones and ran the sensitivity down to 65 because it was too noisy at anything over that. He found a hand full of coins last night including a buffalo nickel, 1946 dime, 1945 quarter, 3 wheats and some other odd and end change. The silver dime was the first target he dug too.He said they all were at least 7 inches deep and deeper. A total of 14 coins in a small area that his other big dog would not tough. Go figure!!

So needless to say, he is very happy with his purchase too.

That is awesome. He has the x35, running a lower frequency might quieten the EMI issues or should I say it does for me. I always thought the opposite, I always thought higher frequencies ran quieter with high emi when I ran the regular LF black coils, but now it's different with my X35 coil ???Where I was having issues, I was able to run 7 khz at a sensitivity setting of 95 and no chatter but in 25 khz, I could not get it to quieten, even with a sensitivity of 80 ???Apparently all EMI is not created equal ?
