Hello everybody, I was able to get out again with the 6 inch EXcelerator coil for about another hour. I went to same old fairground/baseball field and this time I was a little more successful and found a wheat cent and Indian head cent. I found a 1956 D wheat cent in between a beaver tail and a ring part of a pull tab. I heard a low tone then a high tone then low tone. The wheat cent was only about 2 inches deep and since it was being masked by trash I guess that is why no one found it until the smaller coil came along. The 1905 Indian head cent was found about 5 to 6 inches deep next to piece of iron. I was only able to get a good signal in one direction and the TID was bouncing between 30 to 36 on the Quattro's screen. I do not believe that I would have found these coins with the stock 10 1/2 inch coil. I think it will be just the matter of time until I start unmasking some silver coins,
John
